But people do actually speak like ads these days.

In operation it sounds a bit like a pachinko parlor. Imagine if pachinko machines performed a useful computation, allowing the parlors to be server farms powered by gamblers.

I didn't know that the shape of the hexagonal pencil has ancient roots.

What's this "Pre-AGI" arrogance? Why are they so certain that it "will scale to AGI"? Is it an attempt at branding, or have they forgotten that AI is a global effort?

And do people really want to be "actualized" by "Microsoft and OpenAI’s shared value of empowering everyone"?

Perhaps genetic replication did emerge multiple times on Earth, but always to the same solution which had the highest probability?

But democracies are capable of producing such leaders when required, as England did for the Second World War.

Strongly encrypted private communications are already effectively banned in Australia.

Whilst possibly overwhelming or discomforting, walking through Donki gives an honest display of consumerism, and manages to make it exciting. Like Walmart, it's essentially an incredible variety of stuff jumbled together. But Walmart is an Amazon warehouse in which the customers do the picking. It's systematic and depressing, and one feels like they might be in an item in a production line. Donki is chaotic, musical and risqué. It's not uncommon to see well-dressed couples on dates swinging tipsily through, because it's somehow conducive to romance, or at the very least, not a very shameful place to be seen. A store will have a variety of atmospheres, not all of them pleasant, but I much prefer the honesty of the chaos to the censored productions of most consumer 'experiences'.

Don't it's no fun you'll get space sickness trust me.

Who is to say that society has a body dysmorphic disorder? Are governments such trusted doctors? Should a government control a society's self-image with an airbrush? If one doesn't believe that individuals are responsible enough to govern their own communications, then perhaps so. But I believe that the best society-doctor is society itself, and given past and current efforts, am skeptical of the sincerity of governments when they do pull our their airbrushes. Mass-murder-selfies are obviously evil, but what about mentioning factory air pollution? I know of one government which will readily airbrush over such online blemishes, and if these two seem ridiculously far apart, remember that wedges start thin. The latter example raises what I believe to be the main point of government airbrushing - to better its own mirror-image, rather than for the health of society.

Speaking of censorship, why has my comment been grayed out?

When you don't like what you see in the mirror, it's easiest to just blame the mirror.

Must the training be done in their cloud?

No, in response to things like WhatsApp the Australian government just passed a bill enabling it to force companies to create backdoors to encrypted communications.

I now call him Backdoor Bill.
