You know cans are just plastic sacs using the tin/aluminum for structure right?

Thats an old looking 56.

I think all sports have more subjectivity than you are admitting. How often have you heard someone yell at an umpire or referee seen as unfair?

It's not cart blanche to turn anything political. I'm just asking you (and everyone here) to recognize that somethings they may not think of as political already are. If you put yourself in the shoes of the person treating something as political and still come away thinking its unfounded, as in your pirate flag case, you've done what I've asked.

Guy looks completely normal.

While there is undeniable truth in what you say, I'd caution to remember that while politics dominating your life may be optional, its not for many. Trans people just trying to exist is seen as political, for instance.

Yes and no. Things can be built much denser without the need for all the parking so walking and biking become much more viable.

I'm not saying AI can't be disruptive. I'm saying we aren't there. The steady progress you think you are seeing is bought with increased processing power, the science isn't advancing steadily, it advances in unpredictable jumps. Because the performance gained with processing power is reaching its peak, we'll need at least another one of those unpredictable jumps for it to get to a state that will do what the comment I was responding to was claiming. It could be another 50 years before that happens, or it could be tomorrow.

Portal fantasy in general is fine( think like inuyasha or digimon as old version of isekai). The issue is the isekai that are just mindlessly cloning each other with some new way to be OP.

The current AI boom is all based on a single paper from about 7 years ago, and has been achieved by just throwing more and more computing power at it. There has been basically no meaningful architecture improvements in that time and we are already seeing substantial fall off from throwing more power at the problem. I don't think its a given at all that we are close to the kind of disruption you are predicting.

I've always heard it called a training montage.
