This isn't Reddit, go back to Reddit if you want to default every conversation as a billionaire that isn't redistributing wealth = bad.
Ah, yes, because someone out there is suffering means someone else's money must be redistributed because of communism?

Please take your communist takes back to Reddit, this is a tech-centric forum, not a place where under every single bloody post people have to cry, waaaah but that money should be redistributed to the ever-growing population because they are entitled to it!

Isn't the solution simple? People have the freedom to think themselves to be whatever they are, but for established rules, they can either choose to comply or not participate.

Just because a person identifies them as x, doesn't automatically mean other people have to be forced to accept them the same way. Just have a separate section for trans people in high school, separate for biological women etc.

The whole point of women's sports is arbitrary, and just as much as people should respect the freedom of a person to identify themselves as whatever they want to, the same people should respect the arbitrary rules of women's sports.

The issue is the people who want the world to be forced to accommodate them without consent.

Even with government interference, this is possible. That is why anyone with substantial wealth or influence should first focus on acquiring the necessary weapons and manpower to defend their property.

Having anything will automatically paint a target on anyone's back.

People will always read things, not just because it's a necessity for something else, but just for fun, for curiosity, as a game etc.

People do plenty of recreational things which don't make sense from an efficiency perspective; they do it because it's fun.

To hell with the governments and law enforcement, privacy is a right and is not a weapon.

I had a discussion with this AI about solipsism and existentialism elements, and it was the best formulated discussion I've ever had, better than any human discussion which I've ever encountered.

This AI doesn't just surpass the Turing test, it absolutely crushes it.

It would be quite interesting to know the sizes of the models in use and a rough idea of how much resources are put into place in making such a breakthrough product as what is being provided at character.ai.
