  • You could say no because if you don't make it there on your way and back home safe, you forever lost your chance to be together again.

    I understand your of course, this is inhuman in an endless list of ways and manipulates parents like a fine fiddle.

  • People seem to have very distinct ideas on this court order.

    What is a court order? It's basically a paper from the judge telling ppl what to do.

    Why was this issued? A lot of statements trump made while the case is ongoing seemed inflammatory to the witnesses in one way or another, and the prosecution didn't like that. The court agreed.

    So what happens now? Well as people rightfully pointed out, in itself this is just a paper. It's like a note from you parents telling you "don't steal sweets from the bowl while we're on vacation!". It's whole useless in absence of the court. But - if you ever pulled that, your parents were very angry afterwards and probably punished you in some way. Well now imagine that with a court and an ongoing legal process, and the punishment includes a range of actions against the defendant and his case. I think (not sure) this includes things up to incarceration for violation of court order in conjunction with witness tampering or even intimidation.

    TL;DR the order itself is useless but if he violates it, gloves are off, punishments are on the table and his case might be in jeopardy.

    P.S. never underestimate the instruments a pissed judge can play. His lawyers WILL know that.

  • While I like your idea, also consider the adverse impact: people will sometimes not treat their mental disorders anymore because they could pop up in a background check.

    There has to be some more nuance to this. I didn't study law though,so idk how to make it better.

  • I mean you definitely got a point, but don't forget that there are long term consequences. The trust is completely gone (which is needed if you invest in this game engine and you will probably see the unity market share drop in the coming year.

  • Yeah Jack Smith is gonna rub his hands in anticipation of the next motion for stricter bond conditions for Trump.

    What trump doesn't realize: SBF did the same thing and took it to far, he now has bond revoked and has to prepare the case behind bars which costs him a lot of time and resources and probably sanity as well. Trump will end exactly at the same spot if he continues.

  • What a rare and healthy opinion to have about him. Wish I heard that more often.

    I used to like him too for his ideas, but then he became a massive Twitter troll and I started very much disliking him. And that hasn't changed until today.

  • Maybe an unpopular opinion but: let them do it. Then make side by side of Biden Vs Trump when it comes to immoral / illegal behaviour. Easiest way to prove which vote will hold the status quo and which vote will bring us closer to an autocracy.

  • And that is the point.

    It sounds stupidly simple, but AIs in itself was the idea to do the learning and solving problems more like a human would. By learning how to solve similar problems, and transfer the knowledge to a new problem.

    Technically there's an argument that our brain is nothing more than an AI with some special features (chemicals for feelings, reflexes, etc). But it's good to remind ourselves we are nothing inherently special. Although all of us are free to feel special of course.

  • I hope unity's shareholders are happy with what they hoped for. This is the result of driving a company too far. Let's makes this a guideline to follow for other companies not to make such shady decisions.

    It becomes more appearent with every new instance of protest that there's something equally valuable for a company as money, and that is community trust. Because losing it can stop growth. I love the new layer of accountability we obtained with the internet.

  • Funny Unity Roast

    Jump
  • No, it will come for all developers.

    Now there's some ambiguity about it, and maybe you could file a lawsuit, but it's not that much, and otherwise this contract WILL be enforced for everyone.

    Either way, switching to Godot or to Unreal sounds like a good move rn. Would have switched to Unreal anyway, fair superior engine for bigger games imo.

    Oh also this gives the new lumberyard engine more market share as well (Amazon) which will be interesting.

    What thrilling times we live in.

  • Sidenote, I have a feeling that's straight up illegal under contract law. IANAL though.

    Edit: Just so ppl have something specific: you bought access to the service. It's probably gonna be limited in the User Agreement as "if this service has to be shut down, you agree to lose your access and you don't sue to get your money back". But this is a backend migration and I'm fairly sure this is not something they had in their original contracts. That's why sniff a broken contract and when they don't refund your money, I sniff broken laws.

  • Well what an interesting question.

    Let's look at the definitions in Wikipedia:

    Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations.

    Experience refers to conscious events in general [...].

    Feelings are subjective self-contained phenomenal experiences.

    Alright, let's do a thought experiment under the assumptions that:

    • experience refers to the ability to retain information and apply it in some regard
    • phenomenal experiences can be described by a combination of sensoric data in some fashion
    • performance is not relevant, as for the theoretical possibility, we only need to assume that with infinite time and infinite resources the simulation of sentience through AI needs to be possible

    AI works by telling it what information goes in and what goes out, and it therefore infers the same for new patterns of information and it adjusts to "how wrong it was" to approximate the correction. Every feeling in our body is either chemical or physical, so it can be measured / simulated through data input for simplicity sake.

    Let's also say for our experiment that the appropriate output it is to describe the feeling.

    Now I think, knowing this, and knowing how good different AIs can already comment on, summarize or do any other transformative task on bigger texts that exposes them to interpretation of data, that it should be able to "express" what it feels. Let's also conclude that based on the fact that everything needed to simulate feeling or sensation it can be described using different inputs of data points.

    This brings me to the logical second conclusion that there's nothing scientifically speaking of sentience that we wouldn't be able to simulate already (in light of our assumptions).

    Bonus: while my little experiment is only designed for theoretical possibility and we'd need some proper statistical calculations to know if this is practical in a realistic timeframe already and with a limited amount of resources, there's nothing saying it can't. I guess we have to wait for someone to try it to be sure.
