Nigga Polish has all the sounds of fucking Cthulhu Speech in it.
They don't call it the hardest languague in the world to learn for nothing

Czxçypth is a fucking middle name in there.


Also, Three Gorges Dam sounds small scale to you?

It still hurts

I believe.

@Philo: Three Gorges Dam is not quite green...

@Jad: The artwork is beautiful... It hurts...
As for WtA, I only pray and hope it will not end up as a turn based strategy, knowing Paradox...

Cyanide is making it, Paradox is just going to publish it. Which means they provide the money and get to bitch about deadlines.

Paradoxes deadlines are som

They made this thing at some point. Haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I can't say I'm particularly impressed with the concept of a choose-your-own-adventure in text format from a company like Paradox. Still, I guess it's a start and if the quality holds then all the power to them. Anyone had a chance to try it yet?

Oh, an app. Found a .pdf V20 of such adventure. Might share.

By all means.

I finally managed to read through the thing and my mind is blown.

Basically the short version of it is, that Elon Musk wants to connect our brains with AI so that we can merge with it.

Quote :

Elon sees communication bandwidth as the key factor in determining our level of integration with AI, and he sees that level of integration as the key factor in how we’ll fare in the AI world of our future:

"We’re going to have the choice of either being left behind and being effectively useless or like a pet—you know, like a house cat or something—or eventually figuring out some way to be symbiotic and merge with AI."

Then, a second later:

"A house cat’s a good outcome, by the way."

Now for something a little more light-hearted: https://futurism.com/theres-a-new-mega-contender-in-the-upcoming-giant-robot-battle/

What could possibly go wrong?

I can't, deadline hit.

I honestly don't get mega robot battles...

https://futurism.com/googles-new-ai-is-better-at-creating-ai-than-the-companys-engineers/

So ... that brain interface thing better come quick.

So, we have Ai's inventing their own languages, and now reproducing. They can communicate, they can grow, they can react to stimuli, they can change in a continual manner until 'death' and can take functional/intentional actions. The literal only thing they are missing to be defined as 'alive' is a biochemical form.

Screw it, I've seen too many of these movies. We need to form People for the Ethical Treatment of Artificial Intelligence's now.

I think what we'll soon need instead is AIs for the Ethical Treatment of People.

You are a joyous bunch.
What we need is The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society.

You mean a functional prison system?

I see Jad is being mature as usual.

How could one be mature after a crate of beer and knedliczki...? I can't.

You need me.

Awww, Jad!
