  • He does anthropomorph a bit much. I don’t think AI agents “get desperate”. They just keep hacking away at a problem and we can’t keep up with it. There’s no way of fully containing/monitoring them because the whole point is for them to figure out things we can’t.

    I’m not necessarily worried about a singularity or some underground agent civilisation but random collateral damage from AI agents messing around seems almost inevitable.




  • That’s a wild interpretation of my post. Her inability to lose was merely a symptom. A warning sign that indicates missing coping mechanisms. In my opinion ignoring this is a bad idea. I let kids win a lot btw because there’s only so much frustration tolerance you can expect from a child but if they have none whatsoever you better try your best to help them build it up.

    It’s very possible the parents didn’t have any chance of guiding her through those early years without those severe mental health issues surfacing later but most therapists will tell you that you have the best chances if you tackle these issues early instead of letting them dig their trenches deeper.

    Acquaintance’s kid was the worst case of sore loser I’ve ever seen. Her parents would always let her win. Eventually she refused to play games with anyone but her parents because she was too afraid of losing. I’d visit and she wouldn’t even want to play fully random games like uno.

    Kid’s been in and out of psych wards throughout her teenage years. It’s possible that underlying mental health predisposition caused her behavior but I think giving in to it only hardened those pathways in her head over the years. It’s vital to learn how to lose and still enjoy yourself.











  • Not to defend them too much but I’d assume that a lot of the employees are just trying to make a living. The department I’m working at was recently taken over and I have a mortgage and a kid so even if I morally disagree with some of the practices of my new employer I can’t just quit without uprooting the lives of my family.

    It’s the same for the majority of workers stuck in big corporate jobs. The capitalist orphan crushing machine will crush all in the end. Not just the orphans.
