    A fun excercise but lots of corner cases not covered. For example the words ακριβός (expensive) and ακριβώς (exactly) would have exactly the same spelling

    I don't like a$$holes but they do exist and they are part of our species, ergo intelligent. My opinion of them doesn't change the fact

    You don't have to be empathetic and nice, just good at navigating society.

    How well you interact with other members of a society increases your chances of procreation, survival, knowledge acquisition, ie. it makes sense as a measure of intelligence

    What would be the evolutionary pressure to grow wheels? They are useless without roads

    A truly unique game that after decades it still evokes feelings only a piece of art can. Thank you Eric Chahi

    It seems it's more complex than that. Greece and Portugal are also getting the Polish treatment (Tier2), so are Iceland, Switzerland and Israel

    On a tangent, what is astonishing to me as an outsider is the cultural stagnation. Even in times of economic decline Britain was a cultural powerhouse. Modern music, theater, cinem…

    I'm not talking about kids, I'm talking about adolescents (as is the quoted paragraph). I strongly believe that an adolescent's well being is tightly coupled with social interactio…

    An excellent point. Abstention = social isolation, which for young people is far worse than exposure. Restricting your children's access is not an option (lets' be real, they'll fi…

    One can make parallels to other eras, sure, but the current convergence to an "average" is unprecedented in scale and speed. Various eras had a distinctive style that everything re…

    This next era may take 100s of years though, AI taking up physical labor is still science fiction (and I'm not fully sold on the utopia angle). She'll need to support herself much …

    Text is a very good indication the photo is non-AI. Lots of AI generated images struggle with it, I don't know why.

    An obvious solution is to change i-- to i++. Don't know if OP is the author, but the code under the statement is not the correct one

    I can't blame the authors for the choice permissive licenses. Maybe they were idealistic and starry-eyed, maybe they never thought their project would catch up, maybe they were nai…
