Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.

Most people everywhere are slightly left of centre. Most leaders everywhere are slightly right of centre*.

- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 1 week ago:
Would humans have a mandate to raise a responsible AGI, should they,
I think we’d have to, mandate or no. It’s impossible to reliably predict the behaviour of an entity as mentally complex as us but we can at least try to ensure they share our values.
are they qualified to raise a vastly nonhuman sentient entity
The first one’s always the hardest.
- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 1 week ago:
I don’t think it’s okay to hold sentient beings in slavery.
But on the other hand, it may be necessary to say “hold on, you’re not ready to join society yet, we’re taking responsibility for you until you’ve matured and been educated”.
So my answer would be ‘it depends’.

- Comment on low iq in love with high iq person, is that bad?? 5 weeks ago:
The only thing IQ measures accurately is how well you answer questions on IQ tests. For anything else, it’s a vague approximation at best.
Talk to your guy. Just knowing that you’re working to understand him will make him feel loved.

- Comment on Where do you think elon musk would be if he wasn't born into wealth? 2 months ago:
He’s practically got ‘clueless middle-manager’ stamped on his forehead. He has he confidence to fake it through an interview and the animal cunning to blame others for his mistakes.

- Comment on When you die, what do you want to be done with you? 4 months ago:
They are. I researched it because my mother wanted to grow a lemon tree from her cremains. Human ashes are too acidic for most plants to grow in unless you mix them with soil or compost. Which doesn’t seem at all respectful.

Should they bury you as well, or do you plan to be a year-round Hallowe’en decoration?
