Bard doesn’t truly think, it’s just going to be reflective of the most commonly written perspective in its source material

NL is neither a Nordic country nor ethnically homogeneous. Just like all countries with a history of colonizing other people, many of those people are now in NL. Stop blaming everything on diversity

Yeah, I could imagine that, if we’re just counting the baseline minimum of what that production would cost. I think for the most popular podcasts they could easily afford it, though. It would certainly cost much less than what they’re paying Joe Rogan.

It probably won’t, but I think it will get better.

I assume they can power the train AI by pantograph or third rail - no reason to have nuclear powered trains, this isn’t Factorio.

They just saw that video on Roblox and said “yeah that sounds great, let’s do that”

Do you not consider socialism a path to communism, as a stateless, classless society?

I don’t at all see how changing it to “socialist” would be any kind of erasure of communists, one leads to another. You’d have to think that “communism” is something else entirely.

Yeah I don’t think this is completely true. I’m not in Gen Z but close enough and I do see that they’re a lot more accepting of a broad spectrum of attitudes toward sex, and that includes asexuality, but I think they’re also quite accepting of people being quite the opposite of that. I think where they get more weirded out and are willing to say so is when people - and because of patriarchy, it’s almost always men, but not always toward women - make sexual comments about real people who aren’t explicitly inviting that. That’s something that has been declining in acceptability over time anyway and Gen Z just more commonly takes it a bit farther, and has a better understanding of consent. But I’ve really never seen this “women aren’t capable of consenting” thing outside of a strawman for people who want to pretend it exists by misinterpreting real criticism.

You could argue that for major languages, where the translations would drive revenue, they should prefer to hire people to do the translations from within the target market - it would create some amount of economic opportunity rather than just being another way for the developed countries to suck up money on services from developing ones in particular.

Sounds more like the Rules of Acquisition to me.
