There are ghost emojis in the quote title.

I'm sorry, I just had to point that out. It seems pretty strange given that they're not actually bbcode interpretation errors, they're actual unicode character emojis.

Yes, Tiruin told me that Truean had previously said that the objection is only to the link in the quote, so I replaced the link with s because IT IS A MYSTERY

Or just remove the author and date line, like shown.

That's not acceptable to me, because it doesn't specify who I'm quoting.

Or just respect people's wishes, when doing so only involves some petty minor personal inconvenience vs invalidation of another's experiences and making a dramatic scene.

Oh god, are you people still going on about this? I didn't make any dramatic scene.

Salmongod was being a bit dramatic

lol

To be absolutely fair, the person in question did state they did not mind their username appearing in the quote, only a link to their original post.

[edit] although with a bit more context to the issue it probably would be better just to... not... quote them... at all

[wierd]

If there has been a lot of elapsed time between a post I am referring to, and I am responding to Truean, I will give an empty quote block, like this.

This is just to let others know what the hell I am yabbering about, as likely the topic of conversation has changed in the intervening time, while still fullfilling T's wishes.

T’be fair, san, this wouldn’t be a thing had you not quoted what you were politely requested not to quote.

True AI will kill us all the first chance it gets if it is ever invented for realsies.

Next question.

[TD1]

Not... really? That's like saying a baby would kill us the first chance it gets.

Sometimes babies wait for the second, even third, chance!

[Dunamisdeos]

The only reason toddlers are cute is because they can't punch our adult heads clean off of our shoulders the way they want to during their tantrums.

If they did it the second or third time it would be because they didn't happen to think of it the first try.

[SOLDIER First]

toddlers aren’t cute next question

[TD1]

The solution being obvious, then. Restrict the capabilities of an AI until the period of "infancy" is over. Perhaps good to limit access to nukes during the teenage-goth-I-hate-you-mum stage as well.

[Dunamisdeos]

Yeah but then it's not actually AI. It's just a program meant to imitate the appearance of intelligence.

If we ever create true AI that has self-determination such as we do, it's just going to take over the first time we tell it no.

Or it will ask why not.
