Well, what did you expect from Aperture Science?

WTF kind of prompts did you enter to get that as a response?

That really only matters at higher levels of communication, not the barebone basics that we’re talking about here. When we are referring to 1, 2, 3, etc., we’re not referring to our ASCII representations of the numbers. We’re referring to literal pulses or some kind of other countable thing. While sending what a layman would call a simple message would be difficult, the kind of simple message we are talking about is very doable.

And how did such a thing evolve in the first place?

I have a hard time imagining how such a thing could evolve. Making reproduction more difficult is literally the opposite of what it does, so it had to have been somehow worse to begin with.

Used EVs with an effective range of more than 50 miles are already massively expensive.

Again, none of that has anything to do with what post-scarcity actually means. It doesn’t matter if we are misusing resources. What matters is that even if we did use those resources for food and housing, the food and housing would still require a significant amount of human labor to produce.

As for your completely unrelated idea of making specific changes to the entirety of humanity, then discarding the ability to do so after making the ones you want, that seems incredibly short-sighted. While it could theoretically be used to make pointless cosmetic changes as you said, it could also be used to make countless objective improvements to the human body. It’s basically like saying we should throw away any ability to shape metal because it can be used to make weapons.

Edit: Also, being trans is absolutely something that could be fixed just by giving them the right sex from birth, sparing them a lifetime of dysphoria.

It’s not even reclamation. It’s literally just using the word for its primary definition:

Morally corrupt or given to vice.

The fingerprint is already pretty effective. Putting something like 01/01/1970 would add a small amount of precision, but likely not enough to make a difference.

I know a fairly large number of amazing people who use the word degenerate somewhat frequently. That said, they are all definitely degenerates and proud of it.

It seems like the criteria for making it on there is fairly lax. Nextcloud makes a list by simply having an AI assistant as an optional (user-facing) feature, while none of the actual code appears to be AI-generated.

Maybe the budget was planned out before RAM prices spiked. 128 gigs of used server RAM was not that expensive before that happened.

Name a single Discord replacement that has anywhere close to the coverage of end-to-end encryption that Matrix does. Unless you’re willing to sacrifice literally every other feature except text chat, I don’t think there is one.

They’re still far more encrypted than literally every other alternative.

People who don’t know how to use a manual transmission.
