Proles?

Decent meme

If you ask about gender in death, people will just look at you weird.

There's compounding evidence that a lot of religious canon was simply written by mankind as a kind of societal control.

The living should be kinder to one another.

I think this is the best post I've seen on Lemmy

Based on what I've witnessed so far, people will play with their AGI units for a bit and then put them down to continue scrolling memes.

Which means it is neither awesome, nor world-ending, but just boring/business as usual.

This is actually true. I'm a billionaire in No Man's Sky, I got there by core drilling an S-class hazardous planet (constant lightning storms, tornadoes, persistent ice/blizzard and anomalous gravity that sends you flying and damages structures), and I was digging out Activated Indium at a rate of around €9,000,000 credits/real hour, even when the game was turned off , or around €216 million credits per real life day.

The game developers took multiple visits to my planet -- saw that I wasn't cheating or exploiting in any way, didn't know what to do, so they simply nerfed the price that Activated Indium sold for on the open market. It went from 9000-12000 cr/unit to something like 33 -- a little less than the most abundant element in the universe, iron dust.

I had managed to sell approximately €1.4 billion worth of Indium before the nerf/economic changes, and that amount of money in NMS is ridiculous (A fully upgraded S-Class Freighter might be €500 million credits, think Super Star Destroyer along with accompanying navy). It has basically made everything completely free.

I cannot fathom real people, in real life, running around with multiple hundreds of billions of credits or dollars. It's not even "money" at that point, it's just real life cheats. You can buy entire nation states with it. It's ridiculous and gross and shouldn't be allowed.

Have you tried a Steam Deck?

Hahaha yes; funny short story. Hopefully nobody violates the quarantine. :)

There's a shocking number of people who walk this Earth without a functional world model or empathy, and don't feel things until they occur to them personally.

It's almost akin to a sort of brain damage or disorder, I'm not qualified enough to be able to explain what occurs in the brain structurally for this to happen; only that when they're grimacing for getting convicted after they've murdered 40 people (or millions, if it's an oil exec, for example) and wondering why that's happening, you carefully and patiently explain to them that's only part of what they've inflicted upon others and society writ large.

It doesn't create a "just" or even sane society philosophically speaking, and the legislative process has been almost completely subverted by that segment of the population as you'd pointed out, specifically to be dysfunctional.

Maybe we ought to install more mirrors in the legislative branches

What the fuck do we do with the weather control machine then? :o

You're telling me we spent $5.7 billion of traceable taxpayer money on a weather altering device just to not u-- I'm just fucking with ya 😂
