Quote from: Legend on Today at 03:14 PMYeah I saw a youtube vid about it which made me interested.

But you need to convince the AI about direct voting, no proxy voting. The 2 year old gets to walk into the voting booth on their own and do whatever they do.
yeah, obviously it wouldn't work to give a ballot to a 2 year old.   or at the very least the results would be hilarious.

Quote from: kitler53 on Today at 01:51 PMactually,.. there is a somewhat convincing argument that children should be allowed a vote...


today an old person is allowed to vote even if they don't have the mental capacity to do anything else.  the law allows that person's child to "facilitate" their vote. 

the same position could be taken for children,.. the parents could "facilitate" their vote.  the concept is that right now the way voting is done skews power to elderly people that have no interest in supporting critical services like schools.  if parents of school aged children could cast a vote to the benefit of their children then government would be more attentive to the needs of children. 



not even sure what my personal take is on that.  just saying there is a pretty viable argument that children should have a vote.

republicans would hate this of course.  their brand is to eliminate all services to cut taxes which plays well with retired old people that no longer need those services.

Well i'd be really interested.

Like yeah if you take something like this, that just will not be in the training data with any of the arguments for or against, can you actually convince an llm?

Quote from: Legend on Yesterday at 08:54 PMI found a great new test for AIs.

Just debate if babies should have the right to vote or not. It is such a crazy far out there idea and at least Gemini cannot be convinced.

I was tempted to get, but I still have Life is Strange Reunion, crimson desert and more to finish first. Plus I've honestly rarely played anything this year. Just not been into it at all lately.
