this is scrubs inspired. isn’t it.

at a certain age it was all the kids but then. after a certain point. its just the weird kid.

immutability is one of the reasons I like it.

if its to call out your name just give what you would to a coffe shop. does not need to be your full name or even your real name.

I will find out. I find its large enough now and growing post wise to where I can really cut lose on the weeding. Its important to me to see as much of the most sincere discourse I can on the platform.

I just block folks who post things with no real information in the post.

yeah I have problems with ai but not against it per se. I have a feeling people like that are not as vocal.

I had a friend with a cat like that was leash trained and off leash would follow us around the block and come in. It was pretty cool.

is cunty like slang for good or something. like bad to the bone or something?

common. you know it should be pur-fect.

My wife keeps an amazon subscription. I keep on saying anything arriving after 2 days she should be complaining to them about. Isn’t that why you are paying for the thing???

in this case agency is just a decision to do something. The ai described after I asked would not do anything unless directed to. You see this in star trek. the computer can be asked to hypothesized or analyze in pretty much any way a human could but won’t unless asked to.

the idea is it is complex but without agency. I think anyway. that is my take away from the clarification. so like human slaves have agency but are forced to not do what they want to. similar with animals but sometimes its more like they are tricked into doing stuff by providing things they want. which is a bit like wage slavery really.

yeah or like a rock.

see thats the point. because it has no needs it has no reason to act which is a lack of agency. the animals are certainly more easily said to be slaves that the theoretical ai that does will not do anything unless directed to. that is in essence your computer but just with more processing capability.

you can ask for scrambled egg and mcdonalds and they will give it to you instead of the folded one. Its actually one of the best things to do with your breakfast sandwich order. Back before fast food became laughably expensive I used to do that.

with no innate wants though its no different than your current laptop. If it had volition independent of us it would be something else but that way I real the OP’s statement it would not do anything if not instructed to.

yeah so I assume left to itself with no instruction it would just go into a low power mode or completely shut off. if thats the case I would not see utilizing it as slavery.

@hexorg@beehaw.org you mention basic wants not being a thing but does that mean no real wants or desires? because that would nullify the slavery idea if it just did what it was directed to.
