On the discomfort side, couldn’t they have the collection and recording happen in the background? If no other passengers or staff can see the numbers, there’s less of a chance of someone feeling uncomfortable with the process.

The weighing process involves humans, so that wouldn't be possible.

Their average intelligence being what it is, when instructed to have one person on the scale, sometimes it's one, sometimes two, sometimes two and a stroller. Sometimes somehow a horse ends up on the scale and no one really understands how, including that horse.

Unless you check the weight, you don't know what exactly was weighed.

A prominent S

I guess that's a 5, not an S, since it was the 5th Separate Assault Brigade that was involved.

It's just an oversimplified position. I think you can want very little (quantity wise, as number of desires), but exercise massive amounts of will to achieve it. And then you can live with more or less ego, or more or less empathy and care.

I'm sure there's dozens of other ways to do it. You just can't get there with "NPC" and "not NPC".

Some people are much more the protagonist in their story than other people. And then there's the degree to which the story actually overlaps with reality. You can make it all up and not follow up on it, or you can make it come true, and everything in between, human reality does allow for that.

Exactly. It's an odd type of gambling with your life.

They all migrate to USA in hope of getting jobs at big techs.

Eh... It's overrated. The pay is better, but otherwise it is definitely a downgrade. Maybe from east EU, it's a decent deal, from west EU, it's very disappointing. You basically end up thinking "but the money is good" over and over and wanting to go back to actual civilization.

Bro, can you please talk to me like I'm a normal human being?

/r/combatfootage on reddit. But you can also do it on twitter by following OSINT accounts (and you can combine the two). I just couldn't deal with the constant twitter BS anymore. They both mostly have "second hand" sources. First hand are telegram accounts, but I rather receive it filtered and sorted by votes, so I never went that far.

I'm following the combat activities (the actual combat, not high level strategic stuff). It's all mines, mines, mines and then some trench warfare.

No amount of ATACMS can do anything about that. You still have to advance slowly, figure out where the mines are, clean them up or move around them and then take the trenches.

Drones can do a whole lot more good for a whole lot less.

If you're going to defederate from everyone that's stupid, you're going to be very alone. And then there's the technical difficulty of having to defederate from yourself.

Might I suggest that next time you spawn, you do so on a planet that does have intelligent life? Kind of pointless to complain about idiots when you were the one that decided to be a human just before planetary annihilation.

You can't counter someones argument by just saying the same thing you know.

Sure you can. You can also win any argument by replying "no you". You just don't leave a very good impression if you do that.

He brings up a good point as you can in fact argue your likeness in court.

This would likely require a court case but chances are the AI law would have to offer an exception to it.

It's probably just going to fall under existing law and the owner of the AI replaces the owner of the copy that was made (so same laws, no exception). Not sure what law that is exactly, but I assume it involves royalties and the like and there's an exception for certain things, like news and maybe art.

Here's an article on it from the perspective of painting. I don't see why it would any different if it's an AI "painter". It's still technically painting what it does.
