That’s a leap if I ever saw one. I could ask the same question and substitute AI with god or aliens and I’d be ridiculed by the tech community and with good reason.

And you don’t need to take it much further to fall into the holographic universe principle or the simulation hypothesis and for those there are big discussions to be had in science communities.

To be clear, nothing stops you or me, or anyone for that matter from assuming so, but down that road the only answer I can think of is that nothing matters and might as well lay down and die.

It happened to me last year or something. Reset your password and it’ll be fine. It was probably leaked.

Or do the smart thing and stay here instead. :)

Right, got it, thanks a lot. I’ll stop downvoting in that case, except if something is really offensive.

Alright, a question for you all about down voting. Is the platform, or the apps made for it take it into account for feeds?

ie, if I down vote everything I don’t like seeing does it get removed from my feed? If so I’d just down vote and move on. If not, I’d probably not down vote, but even if I did, I’d feel like I need to give a reason behind it for the poster to know.
