If/when AI gets advanced enough to be conscious, it’s absolutely going to be treated like shit.

Granted they don’t know the difference, but people already treat Alexa and Siri like garbage, a lot of times. I can’t imagine it will get any better, because no matter what, some people won’t see a problem with mistreating… Read more

I worry less about sentient AI than I do that advanced — but still unthinking and programmatic — AI will lead us to harm before we ever face the moral questions posed by generalized AI.

I loved this game. This and Blue Dragon were the two reasons I bought a 360 back in the day. I really wish we’d see a proper remaster of these. Especially Blue Dragon. Blue Dragon in combat with a full party with all the shadows out had some serious framerate problems. Putting it onto modern systems (or dare I hope… Read more

“How many vampires do you think have the stamina for immortality? They have the most dismal notions of immortality to begin with. For in becoming immortal they want all the forms of their life to be fixed as they are and incorruptible: carriages made in the same dependable fashion, clothing of the cut which suited… Read more
