Just another Space Monkey
I think you’re on to something. I think the next logical question to ask is - “What proportion of post-graduate non-Whites land in what kinds of roles?” Is there a reason this demographic is using AI companions more that correlates to the kinds of jobs they’re doing?
It’s much, much worse than that.
To have functional social beings requires social supports that haven’t existed in the USA in decades. It’d be more accurate to say that the vast majority of non-melanated Americans are dysfunctional. Cracker Culture is built on being exploitative, isolating, and abusive toward their fellow human.
Growing up means understanding that the only thing you can control is your own actions. What other people do isn’t your concern unless you’re going to go make it their concrn.
If only lies had consequences.
They do. It’s called “voting with your wallet”. Don’t like this decision? Don’t buy the game.
They’re not doing anything about it for the same reason you’re not doing anything about it.
You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.
That’s an awful lot of typing instead of just saying “I’m a lying liar who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That’s why I offer no actual data - because the actual numbers destroy my entire argument.”
That’s an “I have no idea what I’m talking about” if I ever heard one.
“Citation needed” IS polite. You claim it’s not polluting, so clearly you know the CO2 emissions numbers from SpaceX’s datacenters that are being run off direct-connect to natural gas generators. So, how about it? How “not polluting” are they?
It’s pretty insignificant
Citation needed. You’re just straight-up lying or clueless as to what’s actually going on.
The ecological damage is not made up.
Bias plus volume. Memes used to be hand-crafted. That takes time.
Now, there’s a dozen websites to auto-generate them by the thousands. Plus AI.
You: “I don’t understand why you find this fun”
Also you: “I am TOTALLY the target audience for this game”
Also you: “This gameplay is totally boring, I hate it”
Thank you for confirming the accuracy of my assessment.
If you were the target audience, you would enjoy what NMS has to offer.
You have stated clearly that you’d rather be playing Wing Commander - a wildly different combat sim/rpg hybrid whose only similarity to NMS is that they both contain spacecraft.
Growing up means understanding that there’s a wide array of things that you’re just not the target audience for and that’s okay.
Proof that all it takes to sound like a conspiracy theorist is to know the names of four real, actual things the CIA has done.
It’s far less typing to just say “I’m not the target audience for this game.”
There’s plenty of scholarship on the topic. There are a number of judiciary-side changes that arose out of the LA Riots.
And no, violence isn’t romantic. I was in Seattle in '99 for the WTO affair. Violence is simply an unfortunate necessity when power accumulates into the wrong hands.
Billionaires are perpetrating extinction-level ecological crimes against humanity. They won’t voluntarily stop. So, it is incumbent on the rest of us to remember that politics is comprised of three boxes - soap, ballot, and cartridge. When the first two fail to curb tyranny, we must resort to the third box because self-defense is a basic right of all living beings.
Incorrect. Spoken like someone who wasn’t around to see Los Angeles in May of '92.
The French invented a solution to the problem of rich decadent assholes in 1789.
The people decide when this ends.
It’s par for the course for as long as the people choose to allow it to continue.
No man in the wrong can stand against a fellow thats right and keeps on a-comin’.

Yes. Rampant untreated mental illness is a consequence of not having universal health care.
I don’t think it’s professional use either. I’m suspecting structural racism - the people drawn to companion AIs are likely highly educated but unable to use their education fully in their current role. Just my gut speculation. But I’m curious if there’s enough data to show that kind of correlation.
