And if I am not wrong, humans are still pokemon according to the lore (allowing them to even learn some powers), but that would be just scratching the definition...

@Nikolai_Kingsley Being concerned about whether or not fictional characters are being harmed is pointless and illogical.

@Kagekokoro@neckbeard.xyz @galena @EMPEROR @sylveon
Easy...

And don't tell me that ditto was train to emulate humans for infiltration...

@galena
Fun fact: ot is said that chimpanzees are still genetically similar enpugh not to create an interspecies breeding barrier.

For some reason, I didn't want to fact-check this one, but legally, morally and religiously speaking, that being would be a total definition minefield.

@galena ok, that would solve it I guess.

And I hate talking about ethics, since 90 percent of it is based on individuals gut feelings.

@galena I cannot believe I am responding to this...

Yes, animals will be abused, but don't you think that for the safety of all people included, the animals must be still prety tame, meaning they must not be abused to the breaking point.

That means, that I would guess that they are less abused then in other industries.

(Tldr: Pissed off hamburger won't kill anyone)

But what do I know... I never saw any of that shit anyway.

@LukeAlmighty Very good point. Neural nets are complex beyond our comprehension. My point was that the AI our sci-fi fantasies predict - basically just a mechanical human - is extremely unrealistic, and not something we're going to be seeing any time soon. They can't replicate humans, and struggle with some simple things humans have no problem with. What they can do, however, is horrifying beyond belief. We dreamed of something simple and beautiful, but what we created was an incomprehensible nightmare

@galena I don't understand this opinion at all.

We have reached a singularity decades ago. AI is already much better then humans. Computers can process data billion times faster then we can, but because we are better at recognising a cat from a toaster means that we're smarter? How?

Most of modern research is just us giving a few bits of instructions and computers doing the rest of the work. And the ammount of our imput does decrease every day.

And I know that you will say that "well, actually singularity is the point when computers are designing better computers"...

And how exactly are we designing our new hardware again?

@LukeAlmighty @icedquinn @djsumdog The steam controller is GREAT for one thing: playing any game that doesn't support a "normal" xbox type xinput controller, but supports keyboard and mouse. With this, you can play like SIMCITY or Rollercoaster Tycoon on a tv with a bit of fiddling. Although, I hate using it with Steam vanilla, I use a python3 port of a python2 program called `sc-controller` and it works without having to use Steam as an intermediary launcher, which it is terrible at. Gyro controls for shooting are shitty, they are a cop out and shooters are BAD with this controller. Expect to be gimped heavily in online play. Expect to need a more "traditional" controller with two joysticks for most games.

tl;dr Has the ability to play games on a TV meant for a KB+M, but sucks for anything else really. Shooters especially. You'll probably want another controller lying around that supports Xinput or something.

it's their slave morality showing, can't imagine a society where everyone is strong and healthy, thus instead of railing against the society reproducing the creation of weakness and diminishing people they would rather have those things be accepted and encouraged and attack the people demanding a form of agency, it's mostly an attitude from the hobbyist activist
