Historically, food wasn’t as abundant as it is today. Gluttony as a sin, at least with food, isn’t the same today as it was 200 years ago. That’s a ridiculous argument to make. If you really want to speak ‘historically’, it was advantageous for our hunter gatherer ancestors to exploit any opportunity for extra food because they never knew when the next meal would be. We’re still hardwired for that, except food isn’t rare anymore it’s abundant for most people on the planet.

Besides, food addiction isn’t the same as other additions, an alcoholic can obtain from drinking alcohol, an opioid addict can too, no one can stop eating food. Unlike other additions, someone who’s obese because of their eating habits can’t quit food. The thing their addicted to is in front of their face every day.

They probably looked a lot more like birds than reptiles too because taxonomically speaking birds are actually dinosaurs.

While there are no laws that really stop an AI from doing whatever, there are already laws to stop someone from doing that. It might be difficult to find a corporation like UHC guilty of fraud when they use a faulty AI to refuse health care, it’s pretty easy to go the other way and charge a person for using a corporation’s AI in a way they did not intend.

A corporation causes a million deaths, no one bats an eye. Steal a million dollars from a corporation and everyone loses their fucking minds.

One of the funniest programing bugs ever. Gandhi’s code was meant to be the least aggressive AI in the game, but if something made Ghandi become even less aggressive it could overflow backwards and set his aggressiveness to max. This creating a Gandhi that wanted to always be at war.

Oh for sure, enough kindling has definitely been set down to start a new world war. Adding all the sparks people are making and it seems like history might repeat itself. The next world war might have even started as far as historians will be concerned. I just think that if full mobilization actually happens the prepers are as screwed as the rest of us. The only way to actually survive that with a fragment of our old ways in tact is to already be rich and powerful, should the worst happen.

The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand might have been the spark that caught the fire that started WWI but there wasn’t a single cause. It was all the back-room alliances between nations that was the kindling that spark caught, and a long build up of new weapons no one had put into total mobilization yet, and a bunch of other things.

If Archduke Ferdinand wasn’t assassinated WWI might still have happened. Though history will never know.

Not just parents dying but kids too. It was this guy’s responsibility to make sure the people who managed the company would refuse as much life saving care for children as possible. I do not endorse anyone to commit murder ever, but I won’t be shedding any tears when a monster like that is shot down. I do think it’s okay to feel some sympathy for his kids, but they’re wealthy. They’ll probably be okay in time.
