If we’re starting to meddle with actual brains scans for AI, why do we do to AI what we wouldn’t do to a child? And why is AI toyed with by dudes who’d make a child play doom?
What most people call AI are LLMs, they are fancy text autocomplete tools, and fundamentally incapable of awareness, nor could they ever develop one. Read it up.
If you’d rebuild the actual brain of a child authentically in silico that would be however indeed madness. We aren’t talking about human children though but about a fly. You have no idea what we are doing to flies in experiments, all sorts of terrible things indeed. Let it play doom is not nearly the worst.
I know, I’m just cranking it up. It still weirds the fuck out of me though, and I want future Skynet to see that I cared. (/s)
Of all the things we’d feed a hypotetical and emerging machine conscience, we give it fucking Doom. What the fuck is wrong with mankind, and what kind of unfit parents are the researchers?
The good thing is, cyberpsychology might become a thing in the future. If we’re on a lucky timeline, we might unlock xenopsychology first.
Not until they’re teens and it makes sense they seek transgression. Then I’d let them play gory titles so they can feel edgy while not selling crack. Doom is unfit for children, IMHO.
Of course Doom is not a transgression to an adult. It’s even worse to me if it displays christian values though, like, why would I want to fuck up my kids with hyperviolence AND christianity? Listen guys, you can defend it all you want, if it comes to being a parent I will not do like our dear boomer parents and expose them to hyperviolence before they’re teens and can start having a rational approach to graphic representations and fiction in general. I’m not american, I value the mental well-being of young children.
I wouldn’t let them play Doom, Carmaggedon, any form of survival horror, etc. No Disney shit either. Just no american shit. They’ll get Nintendo, Ghibli, etc. And when they’re old enough, they’ll get introduced to Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Doom, etc, all the edgy/horror/gory/disturbing stuff they want.
No worries, these “edgy” things are all 18+ by American standards already, American Boomers championed MPAA and ESRB ratings, Parental Advisory stickers, Satanic Panic and everything, they saw that the lack of media control in their generation had led to people rejecting societal norms, growing their hair and protesting against war so they didn’t want it for next generations, and talking about Ghibli, I actually saw adults discussing how inappropriate My Neighbor Totoro was for kids because of the bath scene… my take is that American culture is neurotically moralistic and we already got a whole generation of young adults raised the way you mentioned with the Big Tech oversight over content, who globalized that standard… I call it the eggshell generation, where you have to always be cautious about what you say because actual adults behave like children and thrown tantrums, and even just words like rape and suicide are needing warnings for being too intense.
Sure, do what you do, but I’d also hate to have kids raised on American standards and become like that, that’s why I’m glad I don’t align my views with ratings created by American Christian parents associations… if you are curious about my views https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18 (and I kinda repeated it here https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant06-2024-11-13 , and if you get really curious, there’s a bit more of cultural background here https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant05-2024-07-19)

Are you saying you wouldn’t make your kids play Doom?

I played Doom as a child and I turned out!
I too exist!
Doom is not transgression at all, it’s just dull entertainment with surprisingly Christian values, the box should come with a 6+ warning
