I believe it was the first of 4 or 5 new rigs that began construction in 2012. With the lowering oil prices, It might be a problematic project in the near future..

Hi Commissar.

LORD commissar.

My pronouns are "How dare I speak to you" And "I am humbled in your pressence"

The Shapers of Destruction sends their greetings...

Heresy.

Heretek

I must use my special pistol to blam you

I will send my many servo skulls to fly around and mildly annoy you.

I'm a blue avian creature

You're already mindraped.

Your mother is open source.

Going back to my shadowrun

Whenever I see the word "pudding" all I can think about is Bernie Sanders now.

Hah

videogames have become reality

On thing that scares me. What if in the future we create the perfect representation of a human.

Like AI instinguishabe from a human. And a body indistinguishable from a humans at first glance.

@GingaBomber don't watch ghost in the shell

you'd piss yourself

What would happen though, like what reason would people have to go after real people?

you wouldn't have one

Just program a robot with all the behaviours, and antthing you dont like, just code it out.

I don't think I'd ever get digitized, if it came to that

the problem with the whole thing is if you get your consciousness transferred to a robot body, it wouldn't technically be you

it'd be a close approximation of you, but not you in actuality

I think it'd be worthwhile to augment the body deus ex-style

but anything beyond that probably couldn't actually happen

But im talking creating new personalities rather than copying them.

hasn't that already happened?

in a rudimentary sense?

like what was that microsoft thing that 4chan turned into a nazi? Tay?

Exactly, as time goes on however it will move from text only inputs.

In a mechanical body, start reacting to not only text but also the senses humans rely on.

what about that AI that was granted citizenship in SA?

did you see that?

Thats a thing?

Nope

this story's a few months old, but it's pretty interesting

Oh god the uncanny valley there.

oh yeah, it's bad

it's like the animatronics at disney world, but worse

Still, this tech will be improving.

I don't understand why we, as a society, think this is okay

it can only lead to bad things

Thats why I said I find it scary.

Robots will get to the point that they are superior to humans in most ways. What happens when they become aware of it?

this is not the vore i wanted

I recognize sargon, who are the others?

uzalu is auth-right, vee is lib-left, and louis le vaux is lib-right

uzalu and vee are decent, but I'm not a huge fan of louis le vaux

veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

(this is 100% real btw, none of this is a joke)

I will have none of this anti-Sargon propaganda

I am a Liberalist™️

What are you going to do about it @BigBoppinBoslet?

Watch from both sides and laugh as this escalates needlessly tbh

True I just find it funny that Sargon is against collectivism but then creates a collective.

Shows that individuality can never beat collectivism.

And well, people should balance both. And stop discussing people, rather the ideas they hold.

I definitely prefer JBP's take on individualism

Down low?

You can stand for individual rights and organize to advocate for them. It doesn't immediately make you a collectivist if you're rallying for individual rights.

A collection of people with the same belifs is kinda a collective

How can a signal person no matter how smart, athletic or other wise talented beat a cohesive collective? No one follows this principal just look at the "liberalists".

You can't. The point isn't how they're organizing, but what they're organizing for.

Like nazis and communists are both collectives, but they vastly differ from each other in terms of principle.

I assumed capitalism was anti collective, because they work for themselves, and so happens that helping others through goods production would benefit the self.

I mean, they're not *that* different from each other... <:hmkGrin:284219474440355840>

In a collective you do shit cause it benefits the collcetive

Although I agree it still doesn't answer the question posed toward Sargon: "What happens when an individual uses their individual rights to join a collective?"

You can't stop them, because then you're stomping on their individual rights.

Then they give up their rights as an individual and replace them with those of a collectivist?
