That wouldn’t collapse the health care system, it would devalue the salaries of doctors which would be good for everyone else as it would lower costs. Which is what has happened to practically every other profession

Getting rid of the NCR is ludicrous and is blatantly just Bethesda diminishing the creations of everyone who isn’t Bethesda.

3 and 4 are the worst stories in the series. Yet Bethesda seems intent on making them the main stories.

I am dreading seeing how they incorporate New Vegas given what they did to the NCR. I would rather that they not even touch it at this point

Because clearly passing such tests doesn’t matter. If it did matter then it would be noteworthy and have implications for the labor value of doctors that gpt could pass the tests to a better extent than many of them

Then we should remove such tests and, if anything, increase such field experience

But it says next to nothing about how reliable the LLM as an actual doctor.

Yet these tests say anything about how a human would be as an actual doctor?

Watched 6 episodes and I think I’m done. It’s boring and very contrived and simply written. I’m not enjoying any of the characters or performances either

The prop and costume design is well done. That’s about it

Also, they erased the New California Republic despite setting the show in California. Not sure why Bethesda hates ideas that they didn’t personally create, but it’s very off-putting

There’s also murder and significant gore as well

Yeah the US doesn’t support “democracy”, they support the material interests of the US. Which occasionally, but certainly not always, overlap with free democratic elections

That is however a claim promulgated by the propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist State:

The United States has long used democracy as a tool and a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences.

Wow, thanks for letting me know that the CCP actually knows what they’re talking about on this issue

What’s wrong with lemm.ee?

Better than getting it from Nazi Germans

Are you talking about Israel or the United States?

Not to disagree with your point, Zionism should be opposed. But we shouldn’t pretend the United States is any better

The United States could be better though. And we could start by opposing colonial states such as Israel

Mexican immigrants in the US aren’t trying to genocide existing residents and steal the entirety of their land

No, but that does describe how Americans treated Native Americans - they genocided them and stole their land.

It’s no surprise then that the United States supports Israel doing the same in Palestine. The West has a long history of unrepentant colonialism - Israel is just a continuation of that legacy

the construction of settlements on someone else’s land.

That’s what the entirety of the State of Israel is: settlements on someone else’s land.

It’s also what the countries comprising the “New World” are as well, of course - from the Americas to Oceania. But it also describes Israel, and their colonization is ongoing today.

It’s one thing to say that constellations of stars don’t exist. It’s another thing to say that the constellation “Leo” doesn’t exist because it isn’t a lion and our perception of the spatial relationship of those stars has nothing to do with lions, or with mystical astrological significance.

Those stars are present in space in a certain way. And we can perceive them in our sky in a certain way. But whether those stars are “connected” in any meaningful way, or whether they contain any inherent Lion relevance is purely a creation of human imagination derived from real observable objective phenomena. We could just as easily have said that Leo was Orion, and Orion was Leo, and have been equally correct. It’s subjective. Which doesn’t mean it’s meaningless for us, otherwise art would be meaningless. But it does mean that it isn’t “real” in the same way that gravity or the sun are real. Anything whose continued existence is conditioned on belief isn’t “real” in an objective sense.

Belief can certainly will unreal things into meaningful reality though. But, absent that belief, those things will not exist.

Really this is a discussion centered around the inadequacy of the English word “real.” Perhaps other languages have specific words that would more clearly demonstrate this distinction. Because clearly gravity and Pisces are not both “real” in the same way. The former is objectively real and the latter is subjectively real. And we’re talking past each other by not simply having seperate words that distinguish between those concepts

No it’s like saying a person-shaped cloud doesn’t exist.

To describe it as person-shaped is subjective and another viewer may describe the same cloud as butterfly-shaped. Because it’s a subjective interpretation of a static objective object. Like abstract art.

People/animals exist and are “real” in that all of us have agency and a sense of self that is not conditionally dependent on the identical perception of others.

A person-shaped cloud is only “person-shaped” if viewers claim it is. An arrangement of viewable disparate stars is only “Orion” because the Greeks, and now us, decided it was. But I am me and you are you regardless of what anyone else thinks, and always will be.

We aren’t a collection of particles, we are more than the sum of our parts. We have agency and a mind and self-identity. A cloud or a star constellation has none of those things. They are inanimate unfeeling objects that only gain meaning, (astrological, imaginative, or otherwise) when humans/sentient beings ascribe that meaning to them. Human beings, and all living things, have inherent meaning because of their sentience and inherent uniqueness. Which is why genocide is a greater loss than the destruction of a rock - it’s the permanent death of unique living beings.

Human fucking beings
