I’m thinking the same thing, Codex literally ruined the codebases that I experimented with it on.

I didn’t say that they said it’s funny. I was saying it’s funny. You just twisted my words.

Personally I’ve had encounters with LE and have not had a gun drawn yet, so it’s obviously not the default. But I disagree, I think brandishing a knife is already extreme behavior, I don’t think it’s logical to think “because he has a weapon he probably doesn’t have another!”. And why would someone threatening people with a knife deserve benefit of the doubt?

Doing quick research says about 1 shot at per day, 1-2 fatalities per week, and about 26,000 assaults per year

I don’t know if there is any precedent from taking away hundreds of millions of guns from an armed country actually

This is such a common argument that’s basically a fallacy. Many of those dangerous jobs are dangerous because of human error. So it’s funny that you think 60% of deaths being on purpose is normal, what other job in the dangerous top 10 has 60% intentional deaths? Like seriously?

So are we all just oblivious to the fact that in the US, civilians practically have access to military gear? How can you police that type of population with sticks and stones?

What you pointed out doesn’t change the argument. That IS a main driver for NIMBYism in wealthy areas, even if they’re wrong or misguided, even if it’s just false perception. Don’t really know how doing some whataboutism will change that. I think most people would likely choose to live next to a tax avoider over a violent criminal?

Because neither loot boxes nor Pokémon cards are actually that addicting. There is no strong link to actual gambling and these mechanics. The reason loot boxes get regulated at all is because people simply don’t like them, and they scream the loudest for someone to fix it. Very bad precedent.

A bicep and a piston both push and pull things, but an AI cannot do what a smart brain can, so I don’t think being smart will no longer have an advantage. I mean, someone has to prompt the AI after all. The mental ability to understand and direct them will be more important if anything.

Well as of right now, mathematically and scientifically, the way an LLM works has nothing to do with how the human brain works.

You can compare the idea of trying to make a game with a framework versus an engine rather than compare MonoGame and Godot directly.

Tbh, after using it myself, I genuinely don’t see it writing code this buggy, so I don’t get what’s going on here

I would not advocate against democracy. But do you believe it is flawless?

What you’re saying isn’t necessarily wrong, I just don’t think it adds up cleanly to “evil”. Skipping nuance is bad, I think
