He only wanted to create languages, for fun... but he wanted to do it properly, so he needed full cultural backgrounds for his languages, including epic poetic sagas written in said languages... and to do that properly he needed a whole history of the world said languages and cultures had developed in... so the maniac built that. And then he wrote a children's book set in that world, for his kids, as one does.

It's the same engine Morrowind was on.

You just haven't turned the current high enough.

No, no, they actually do use plenty of water, if I'm not mistaken, for cooling and such.

extremely rare rocks

Silicon is the second most common element in the Earth's crust... 90% of all rocks are some form of silicate...

No one's saying they can't also be dropped from a plane while strapped to a heavy weight. Planes are big, there's room for CEOs and boards, and anyone else who promotes enshittification. 🤷‍♂️

That seems like an excellent idea, we should all make everything possible to make sure such AI overlords are built.

Please don't hurt me, or an eventual future indistinguishable facsimile of myself..?

People don't use Windows because it's a "fantastic" OS for their needs. It very evidently is not "fantastic" (or anywhere close) for anyone's needs but Microsoft's. People use Windows because it comes bundled with their PCs due to Microsoft's monopolistic malpractices, and because they can't get bothered to figure out how to get rid of that bloatware / malware (or, they would get rid of it if possible, but are held hostage by the software — or malware, e.g., Adobe — they need to work only working on Windows, again due to said monopolistic malpractices).

Cyberpunk 2077 was good (on PC) when It came out, and now it's great. It has earned that favourable talk.

In science fiction there's sometimes a distinction between virtual intelligence (something that simulates intelligence but isn't really intelligent) and actual artificial intelligence (something really intelligent but created through science and engineering instead of natural biological evolution).

Large language models would almost certainly be VI by those definitions, not AI.
