How much intelligence in AIs is required to create emotional attachment? Noam says we’re pass that (per dogs)

Also makes sense given empirical evidence of Replika obsessions

Feels like the point is more about risk tolerance - whether someone is willing to accept lucky of the draw vs. “get shafted.” Most startups fail, but to be captain obvious lots of non-founders still get absurdly rich in startups.

Re:We Like the Runners on Monday November 22, 2021 @04:45AM (#29304608)
Probably nothing, but there could be the kernel of something special here, maybe even a dominant new digital avatar and the beginning of a world. Chain Runners is a two-weeks-launched on-chain NFT generative art project, with 10,000 32x32 pixel images of cyberpunk inspired characters that live in Mega City. The images are generated as 11 layers, with 8 colors per layer. They are made by [mid, knav, braindraind, dozer], a team who has cred from Blitmap. After a quiet start, the project is blowing up, and (as of midnight on 11/22) is #2 for 24-hour volume on Opensea.
looks cool will try
