    Re: The Sentient AI Trap

    My 2 cents on this topic. This obviously isn't an AI, it's just a complex algorithm which is able to make correlations between words, terms and phrase formation, with a reasonable range of...

    It's interesting, the example you mentioned falls perfectly within the definition of the "tragedy of the commons". The concept of "public property" is in reality an oxymoron since by definition the...

    I never said it was boundless. Indeed it finds it's limitations in the rights of others, for if it infringes them, by definition, it must be under the form of coercion. Think of it as the "rules of...

    Re: What makes a villain?

    But coercion is the violation of another's fundamental right to be autonomous. With coercion, all agency is denied from a person.

  21. Re: The latest anti-liberal rant thread (get your daily dose here)

    You are correct. My answer would be "yes".

  32. Re: Free speech in the age of amplified opinions

    I think you may be misreading me. However, not much more comes to my mind concerning justifying my position. I've tried to make my case as clear as possible. I hope what I wrote is at least enough to...
  33. Re: Free speech in the age of amplified opinions

    Spare me the arbitrary use of the term "straw man". If you didn't like by opinion just say it directly, instead of throwing a curve ball. Second, I did not give any opinion towards anything in your...

    Capital simply means "the means of production". It can be anything, a boat, a spear, a waffer, a car, etc.
