So, to be clear, you think we should allow for the widespread use of androids indistinguishable from humans BEFORE we try and regulate the technology?

I was referring to the quotes from Jeter himself who coined the term.

First, there ARE laws governing UAVs. Second, there are LOTS of bad actors using them. I mean, are you actually serious? Do you not know that drug cartels, terrorists, paparrazi, and others use drones for illegal and evil purposes? This is typical technophile nonsense. Having guard rails does...

I would prefer if human civilization lasted another 10,000 years. It can't if we let corporations build and market whatever they want.

Yes.

This link seems pretty typical of sites explaining the origins of the term: What is Steampunk — Definition, Origins, and Examples What I find interesting is that no real mention of the "punk" aspect is discussed. It is all aesthetic with Steampunk, and apparently has been from the beginning.

The Gilded Age is post-Victorian (Edwardian).

My point was to establish laws governing these things NOW, before they get good enough to be a problem. We should have done so with deep fakes years ago, and now people are scrambling to try and put the genie back in the bottle. Some of you don't read enough cyberpunk and it shows.

Right, but they used their power to make the players feel cool, so it's okay.

yeah. it is even true of a lot of "cyberpunk." The -punk just means "aesthetic" now.

Is Chuck E. Cheese casually indiscernable from a human being? You legitimately see no danger in perfectly human androids? You can't imagine how bad actors would use those to cause real harm in any number of spheres?

The lifelike nature of androids will only improve. We do not want to live in a world where an android is casually indiscernible from a human.

In all seriousness: there should be an international agreement backed up by laws in every country to make human-passing androids illegal. Require inhuman skin colors and other features.

That's right. I saw the Play Doh Barbie collab and got confused. They do own GI Joeand transformers. I think it is weird to call Hasbro "not a toy company."

They own PlayDoh and Barbie.

I am still on the fence for M&M 4E. I wish there was a robust preview or quickstart so I could judge it against 3E. That said, their rolling preview idea is an interesting tactic.

Thew strongest sign that These Are The Good Days is the openness and inclusivity of the hobby. More voices, more perspectives, and more diversity can only increase creativity. And in a hobby that is built on creativity, that is wonderful.

Even after 15 years, i discovered a new quest in completely vanilla Skyrim that I had never done before. Maybe it was added with the Anniversary Edition but it did not feel like something of a different kind.

Is this the one you use?

So when you said "do something" what did you mean?
