So jail them on funding those ventures. Thought crimes are a bad thing, no matter who you direct them at.

Yeeeeeah, “jail them for beliefs not actions” is a hard pass for me.

Just make sure you butter the bread after you toast it.

To be clear, I’m not claiming all depression can’t be influenced from external factors. And any BCI claiming to solve all depression should be treated like the plague. But there are types of depression that are solely a chemical imbalance that cannot be corrected through external means. And yeah, the “all depression is just a chemical imbalance” narrative is horribly flawed. But to claim none of them are a chemical imbalance is just as bad.

Our current treatment for such types of depression are essentially still in the stone ages. Throw something at it, see what happens, adjust as needed. If a BCI can work around such a situation and offer a direct and targeted approach to the issue, and it goes through extensive testing, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be a good potential solution.

Tell me you don’t understand what depression is without telling me you don’t understand what depression is. You can be depressed while living for free on a beach with no responsibilities. To suggest you can fix everyone’s depression with external changes is the height of “just go outside and you’ll feel better.”

All LLMs are AI, all AI is not an LLM.

6GHz compatible devices are already being sold. If your phone is new-ish it likely supports it, and many routers already have it.

This isn’t a “next gen” problem, it’s a “current gen bleeding edge” problem.

It’s like trading cards, gotta trade em all!

Theoretically possible? Sure. Though I don’t trust the US government with this information either.

Then there a completely different problem to be concerned with: https://chinamediaproject.org/2025/06/04/chinas-slow-march-toward-cyber-ids/

Lmao. Yeah, the government is going to implement this? Assuming it is actually secure, when do you expect this to release? A decade from now?

How do you verify someone is 18 without your information?

age restrictions *done properly (ie securely and privately)* are long overdue.

This does not exist.

It is claimed to exist, but you can’t name a single technology that guarantees security and privacy from the user to the source of the verification.

Are you willing to trust pornhub with your personal information? Xhamster? Kink.com? Motherless? Draft porn? PervertTube? And on, and on, and on.

You trust that every, single, individual, porn site is going to have both the know how, and scruples, to keep this data 100% secure and private?

Because I don’t even trust that a site can keep my credit card information private and secure, as has been shown to be a good bet over and over again despite there being a plethora of laws on how to handle such information.

So it’s a scale problem for you? What number is acceptable?

Why does scale matter? If it was only 50k kids daily would it change your mind?

They time traveled?

Yea ngl that was my first question. This really does seem like it’s either grouping them together, or purely heat.

Funny thing is, even if your skills were in the bracket for more human weighted matches, you’d not have hit them in your first few sessions. The first few matches are always 100% bots to give you a feeling for the game without the rick of being steam rolled by humans.

There’s also the problem of matches being 100 people and not starting until it hits about that number. Imagine the fun of sitting and waiting for 10 minutes for people to hop on.

<.< Legitimate question, what was the last thing each party killed that was put in place by the other party?

The fact hat multiple experts reviewed every line of code by hand, I have to say this is impossible unless you’re comparing it to “the junior devs wrote it all and I just kept correcting hem.”

I doubt anyone is under the impression that it is going to be as efficient as direct power. At least no one paying attention.

Edit: The downvotes lead me to believe a not insignificant number of people don’t understand how energy works.
