    Called it. You’re a bot.

    There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.

      Do you always dehumanize those who disagree with you?

      €6 says you’ve used the term “NPC” pejoratively.

        No, just when I find it humorous.

        And I’d take that bet ;)

          You find dehumanizing others humorous? You should work on being less terrible.

          And I’d take that bet ;)

          Prove you never have and I’d pay you, otherwise I will forward you a list of charities you can send your loss to. sarcastic smiley

            No, the dehumanizing part isn’t the humorous part. I’m sorry if I offended you, most people I know personally would find it funny and not take offense. It was meant to be light-hearted, but maybe it didn’t come off that way.

            Prove you never have and I’d pay you, otherwise I will forward you a list of charities you can send your loss to.

            Why is the entire burden of proof on me? Shouldn’t you have to prove I’ve never called a real person an “NPC?”

              No, I shouldn’t. I never claimed it was a particularly fair bet. Probably should check the terms before accepting.

                Check the terms? You’re adding new terms after the agreement was made. I call shenanigans!

              And the main point I was trying to make, which obviously got muddied by my misguided humor, is that we (in the US, at least) already classify corporations as “people,” which is something I strongly disagree with.

              I refuse to respect corporations like I respect human beings, and I don’t think they deserve human rights or the influence they have over our government.

                I don’t think corporations are people either. You and I agree on that.

                I do think I was correct in my read of the OP screenshot as indicating a desire to own and profit of the labor of a “person”—a position which should be examined and the underpinnings of which roundly rejected.

                At a base level it’s the same underpinning that inform people’s desire to be landlords.

                  My mind went in a different direction when I read it. It made me think about the Citizens United ruling and how legal recognition (or lack of recognition) doesn’t guide my moral compass. And practically speaking, I don’t think AI would be legally recognized as a “person” unless it benefits the ruling class and widens the wealth gap.

                  I also disagree with your judgement. There are definitely red flags in the post, but I don’t think it’s fair to read between the lines and jump to conclusions based on one post. It could easily be a satire account.
