Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?

Good, that was on purpose.

  • Maybe, but what I miss from shareware is that I would get a game (e.g. Quake, Duke Nukem) from someone and be able to play without restrictions the first chapter.

    In fact, most shareware games had also multiplayer available so those were very common in school’s computer “labs”.

    Freemium apps, in my experience, have too many ads and fiendish tactics to my taste (Though I know it’s not all of them).









  • Let’s put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we’re far, far, far away from it.

    As far as the iron age was from the metal alloys used in the Space Shuttle.

    Talking about AGI simulating higher intelligence at the level of a dog or a cat, dear I say a pigeon or a crow is as far fetched as expecting ancient Egyptians to harness the power of the atom.
