I knew my first long distance gf on ICQ. I remember also having that service in Miranda IM along Yahoo Chat, MSN, Google Chat (back when it was based on XMPP) and Jabber.

Messages from my current gf are announced with the classic ICQ "Uh-oh!".

I'd say it's worst. Being racist is horrible, but it wasn't until "Threshold" that ST became actively and willingly stupid.

If not the most imaginative, certainly the most inspiring, and it evokes a strong insertion in our reality.

It is when the people tends to give more credence to entities that appear sentient and to have agency.

I loved it but now I've mostly replaced it with AIMP.

Many worthy things are difficult.

This isn't some secret but literally how LLMs work. lol

Yeah, but John Q. Public reads AI and thinks HAL 9000 and Skynet, and no additional will convince them otherwise.

We anthropomorphize machines all the time, it's fine.

It's fucking not, amd I'm not changing my mind about it.

It's a really bad term because it's usually associated with a mind, and LLMs are nothing of the sort.

I think obvious that she would have sided with Maddox and disagreed with the ruling. I don't think her capable of overcoming her prejudices against artificial life forms.

This in particular is from Jack Chick, who also belonged to a group convinced that the KJV is the result of a new revelation.

These comics are known as Chick Tracts.

Specially when it's hijacked to run other things instead (cough cough snaps).
