I think it can - procedural generation consist of procedures, that is elements designed by humans, which are just connected into a bigger structure. Every single template, rule and atomic object (e.g. a single room in a generated house) is hand-designed, and as such no matter what comes out the elements and connections were considered by a real human. On the other hand, generative AI is almost always some sort of machine learning, that is an approximation of what a good structure of something should be, but it is only a very poor, randomised approximation. You have absolutely no guarantees nor constraints on what might pop out of the model - that is my main concern with genAI, though the whole outputted thing looks reasonable, upon closer inspection it has a lot of inconsistenties.

Meh, you are probably right, but I personally have been banned 3 times from Facebook and by using a VPN and private tabs I still have an active account.

This is so fucking stupid, you cannot stop VPNs, because things like ShadowSocks exist. When will they learn that the only way to stop VPNs is to disable the internet completely. As long as the internet exists, VPNs will too. Ask your friend Xi Jinping about that.

VPNs

It actually tastes much better than it looks (at least in Poland)

I am a catatonic breakdown fan

This diagram is way way way too conservative with the “see you on the other side” classification. To name a few: fluorine will literally make you catch fire instantly (if there’s more of it, you will basically get burned to a crisp before you can even blink), caesium will violently react with water in your mouth and produce so much hydrogen and heat, the whole mixture will instantly explode (in fact, this will not only be a usual, fire-like explosion, it will in addition to that be a so-called Coulomb explosion, which makes the situation even worse)

Well, nothing is that simple, in fact one of the biggest problems in society is that each of us has their own biological clock, with preferred activity and sleep hours, yet we are forced to align our schedules to the same universal standard. Of course, it is absolutely vital for the way our current society functions (because we, as a society, work together, take classes together, commute together, socialise together, celebrate together, and so on), but it definitely has been hurting billions of people for the past thousands of years and we should look for a way to eliminate this system as soon as possible.

This is absolutely true and sad, though I get a lot of free electronics to dismantle by rummaging through trash. People have no appreciation of the value of “used” items that either work perfectly fine or have a minor issue that prevents them from working but is easily fixable, e.g. a broken cable (I have many working devices that were thrown away because the cable is severed, which I could easily fix). I think only proper education in this regard will improve things long term.

That is true, but a “debilitating mental disorder” means completely different things to every person. So, you should go to therapy if you feel you need it, which means that trying to decide for someone makes no sense at all.

You can distill the water using solar energy, even without converting it to electricity beforehand, which insanely increases the efficiency. Also, it just requires some initial materials, and then the process basically runs itself. It absolutely could be done at a large scale, especially in places where there is much sun and much saltwater (equatorial coastlines), but the process is veeery slow and there is not enough demand for freshwater (yet) to warrant the construction of gigantic solar stills. As a bonus, global warming increases the efficiency of the process AND the process cools the Earth down somewhat (separating the water and dissolved stuff is a thermodynamically entropy-decreasing process).

It is so prevalent that this type of bigotry actually has its own name: specieism

In fact, we, as humanity, don’t really know either

Thank you for typing that out!

The path has been laid out by Mr Luigi

stop I beg you 😭

Don’t call me out like that! (also 2n3904 and 2n3906 my beloved)

Because that’s the point

In criminal cases. In civil suits someone always loses, so an average person cannot win more than 50% of cases.

Finally the mathematically correct answer! Thank you for typing this out
