    I don't know, must have been someone who realized it fit the character to a T.

     

     

    Was this person also a three year old?

     

     

    ...What?

     

    It was a good line that exploded her psychology for us all to see.

     

    There were lots of bad lines in this movie, this one is not one of them

     

     

     

    In my opinion, the line is completely unnecessary. You get the idea without her saying a word. Comes off as sloppy immature writing. It seemed as if they were dumbing down the experience to cater to the average viewer which needs to be given every hint during their movie experience.

     

     

    So what other details specifically demonstrated that she has a sort of childish desire to be the best one if not for this line?  Without it, it would be easy to misinterpret her as a generic bad guy alongside Wallace, whereas this portrays her as a dog wanting attention.  Maybe there are some others but this one's fine.

     

    You think without this line it would be more intelligent (less dumbed down) and catering to a higher quality audience (not catering to the average viewer)?

    saw it a second time in imax this time 10/10

     

    going to see it again for sure maybe even 4 times

     

    this is my favorite movie ive ever seen in a theatre before

    but why , whyyy ??? its so fking boring and story is shit or are you watching because of the visual aesthetics ? tell me so i can understand.

    one word

    and the advertisement scene near the end basically does the whole movie for me, it's the best scene by far

     

  4. I'm not even going to bother reading any of the negative reviews which I'm sure exist for this movie

     

    I have to admit there are things I didn't like.  Such as...

     

    ...the part where that old Asian dude put an origami thing on the table as a sort of meaningless reference to the original.  I also didn't like the weird overly dramatic but not very compelling secret society led by the lady missing her eyeball thing at the end.

     

     

    But apart from that I loved it and think it was great.  You can't expect too much from multimillion dollar movies that are expected to appeal to the masses, but this is a MILLION times better than I expected it to be and was great.  Though the visuals were kind of boring in comparison to the original but I think that can be said for every modern movie since they overuse computers nowadays.  Also the music was not as good as the original clearly

     

    Anyway I rate very highly and suggest you go in without a negative attitude

     

     

    Okay now that I'm thinking more I also don't like the whole thing where the ability to give birth and the state of being born rather than being created was presented as some philosophical obstacle to becoming a real person with a soul or whatever.  I think this is "taking a side" and the movie should not have done this, kind of retarded to completely miss what was one of the original points of the primary theme of the original

    These are the immediate dangers. The rest like AI robots with machine guns are too far off in the future to worry about.

    Yeah, the US military aren't working on autonomous drones at all.

     

     

    And autonomous drones are more capable of shooting their projectiles than drones piloted by humans, how?  There's no additional danger at this stage

     

    I'm not saying that's not a worry, but that's not a primary immediate worry, please read the post.

     

     

     

    How?

     

    Speed. Precision. And it's cheaper to send some autonomous drone into war than a vehicle with a person inside. If shot down, a drone is just X amount of money. (probably cheaper than you think). 

     

    So in terms of warfare, you have a potential army which is bigger, cheaper and more effective when you can use autonomous "agents". Or in other words: it's easier to go to war (faster!) because with the right technologies, the aggressor has less risk to loose lives and needs less people to move around the planet, or to feed them. Warfare with less people is an entirely new concept which shouldn't be underestimated.

     

    Eg.: note the importance of the troops-on-the-ground argument in US involvement in middle-east. If that argument becomes redundant (because you don't need troops), what political argument will stop the US to get involved? Especially when it's also cheaper to just send drones.

     

    Implications are already visible as well: killing potential terrorists with drones without any kind of legal implications. AI in war, means more preventive aggression.

     

    Just 2 cts.

     

    Also, I think it's odd how easy you put aside the arguments against AI made by people from scientific fields (like AI itself). 

     

     

    I'm talking about the remote controlled drones where there is nobody inside.  We already have auto targeting and things like this.  And AI won't give it anymore speed, that's a matter of better engineering in the engines and power sources not AI.

     

    I'm not putting aside any arguments.  I'm specifically qualifying all of my statements with "immediate primary worry" and the immediate primary worries are already upon us.  Psyops through ad targeting as well as psychological dependence upon AI systems like Google and Facebook.  Make no mistake Google and Facebook are among the most advanced AI we have right now, it's just directed towards the realm of ad targeting and content retrieval so it doesn't seem apocalyptic yet.  By focusing on abstract dangers people are ignoring the ones right in our faces.

  7. The people who hype up the dangers of AI often have shitty reasons

    The people who downplay the dangers of AI often have shitty reasons

     

    There is no "AI" there is only "applied machine learning" so to speak, and the real primary dangers of it include:

    -Society allowing itself to become dependent upon black box oracles they don't understand, for efficiency purposes

    -Targeted psyops campaigns through ads

     

    These are the immediate dangers.  The rest like AI robots with machine guns are too far off in the future to worry about.

  8. MFM is one of my favorite RDJ releases ever.  It's by far his most euphoric and happy sounding album.  Track #7 has moved me almost to tears once while driving home through the desert at sunset time.  Was a great moment.  If this was released in high quality I would be so happy, I also really like the available rips though so I don't mind.  But a release would bring it to more people so release please rich

  9. I just personally still can't enjoy this as a track, as a piece of music to listen to.  Only as a sound design experiment

     

    I don't like the constant high frequencies, they irritate my ears too soon into the half hour.  If it was pitched down one octave I'd prefer it.  In fact I'll do that and take a listen...

     

    Yeah, half speed is way more listenable as far as frequency range for me.  Still almost unpleasant though.  I hate saying this, lol, because I can tell it's a great track in other respects.

    The issue with this whole topic is the fact that the obvious logical conclusions regarding the size of the universe, the number of stars, the probability of life not existing elsewhere being absolutely tiny, things like that, is that these facts are mixed in with retarded conspiracy theories like "the government has a cure to AIDs" and shit like that. So the general public rejects it, and mainstream media can reject it

     

    How often do you see anyone having a serious conversation about this? This is literally one of the most important existential topics in the history of humanity but nobody takes it seriously. It's just absurd

    It's all made of waves, energies, frequencies, processes, functions and physical elements that form into complex structures (like solar systems or lifeforms). There are certainly complex interacting structures that might reproduce themselves and develop and even produce some form of mind but they don't necessarily fulfill the strictly defined biological criteria of "life" and maybe can't even be detected by the means of perception humans have. so maybe we should rethink our concept of what life is and what mind is before we are able to find intelligent alien life. many people won't even ascribe a complex mind to animals, so how could they do it with a being that doesn't have eyes and whose structure isn't even based on a genetic code?

    I agree, our concept of life and sentience is probably limited. There are probably many forms of non-sentient life, and many forms of sentient non-life. I hold the view that sufficiently advanced AI is sentient even if it can't reproduce like life can. I think biological life (the "life" defined to include reproduction) and sentience aren't linked

  11. minds of creatures in our evolutionary tree are characterized by an understanding of time that is the result of how we evolved memory to understand perceptions.

     

    we think time is passing, but physics established long ago that "now" does not exist objectively.

     

    this introduces questions of a multiverse, and whether or not that there is a more basic "changer" than time... i.e., perhaps entire timelines are generated as a result of some quantum flux, and at any moment along one of these timelines, there seems to be a past.

     

    major discrepancies in physics, such as the experimentally evidenced phenomenon of entanglement, which flies in the face of basic understandings of time and space, make clear that we may only be able to glimpse a fragment of a much broader reality.

     

    machines, whose memories do not fade, and who have more direct and precise access to quantum phenomenon by virtue of their architecture being structured down to a foundation of circuits... how can we know that they wouldn't perceive a reality that dwarfs our own?

     

    anyway, to answer your question, i was referring to being based on time, when i said non-linear.

     

    We trim memories because they're largely useless.  I vaguely remember something mentioned in a documentary I saw when I was young that people with supposed (((photographic memories))) suffer problems in life because they are inundated with garbage memories constantly.  Stuff they don't need or want to remember but they do

     

    And I think it's reasonable to assume that the lower level you go down, the more useless individual points of information become.  It's all emergent through the higher layers.

     

    Newtonian physics is a really high layer that gives us profoundly useful information about the state of the universe.  The state of a single atom's charge at the moment in a piece of dirt somewhere though is literally useless.  Similar might be said of quantum states, or maybe not I don't know anything about it.  

  12. Ok so i always love when the normie bystander comments on my music, especially of the Autechre flavor, but this happened this morning and i'm still smiling..

     

    I was pumping gas and had c16 deep tread (fave from elseq, those fuckin twangy snares are just uughhhh) blasting from an open window (apologies, i'm sorta the type that enjoys showing unwilling people what i listen to) and a truck pulled up on the other side, some early 40's white-collar dude

     

    After a while he's like "man what kinda stuff are you playing?" so i laughed and said "oh it is a bit a loud sorry, it's a group called autechre". Then he asks where they're from, such interest catches me off-guard. So i tell him and he's like "it sounds like this kind of techno...club...dark..." and i interjected "yes! It's like death techno, pretty experimental stuff" and he says "yeah i kinda like it"

     

    I told him to look em up, have a good day, and then i left. I'm realizing encounters like this give me some of the purest feelings of joy anymore. He may have gone and listened to the whole album, he may have forgotten the name as soon as i left, but like at least he knows that song exists ya know?

     

    In conclusion: death techno  :cool:

     

    Lmao death techno.  Yeah I'm sure lots of people who like metal would love AE_LIVE and elseq, and even Untilted

     

    I played PlyPhon with my sister in hearing range once and she now thinks I listen to Skrillex, lol, oh god.

  13. This thread was made 5 fucking years ago

     

    Look how fast time passes, kill me now

     

    That's the message of vaporwave

     

    Way too drunk sorry.  Fucking nostalgias.  Nothing lasts

  14.  

     

     

    too close to home. still lost it at "thats you stupid!" though
    lol same fam. It's comedy but he's dropping truth.

    I like how implies that caring about your girlfriend's feelings/well-being are an impediment in your path to Greatness (i.e. becoming a Holden Caulfield-assed Holocaust-denier-retweeter.)

     

     

    You completely missed the point and are unaware of the types of relationships he's talking about

    Check out this sweet parody of Sam https://youtu.be/INPKS87YscM?t=29m20s

     

    Parodies need to accurately capture an important aspect of the person being parodied - this doesn't at all

     

    Also he should have used a glass jar instead of a milk jug with water.  Lazy sketch and not even funny
