This will definitely result in less people being on unemployment benefits.

“I’m fine.”

The problem is I keep repeating the same lie.

Whenever I hear things like this, I ask ‘What’s the problem they are actually trying to solve?’

Most of the time there is no problem, it’s a solution looking for a problem. In this case, it seems like the only problem to solve is:

Today, New Zealanders still cannot make instant payments electronically to other people, unless they are both with the same bank."

I’m pretty sure that could be solved with a middle-man app instead of a ‘digital currency.’ Venmo exists in the US, something like that?

I’m sure we have had similar… TradeMe has Ping which “Make payments safely with Ping. Pay or get paid instantly – using a credit or debit card, or Ping balance.” … so, yeah problem already solved, instant payments.

The movie clearly shows that the robots acted as if they felt pain and suffering.

I thought the ending made it pretty clear that in the end, they are cold calculating and very intelligent machines with no actual feelings or compassion, and we had been deceived the whole time. My interpretation I guess, but I feel like that makes the movie better.

You’re over-reacting. It’s probably only death at worst. Most likely 40 years.

Lutris can be pretty handy for many things…

I don’t have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:

  • I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn’t work.

You’ll be able to get better answers. I’m pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is ‘find something open source that is not as good but works.’
