Danila is a typical russkie gangster - all the high talk, but would kill his mother for enough money

>the second film maybe, popcorn flick with a nationalist special-snowflake bankrupt moral
>the first Brat is more complicated, there is an underlying protest against individualism there, that takes the form of nihilism
<nihilism

lmao

nihilism is a moral or every fucking criminal

What is the consensus here on the Chinese room arguments? Does it have any basis on the difference of sentient AIs and simulation of them? Or the the concept of "being self-aware" a spook in of itself?

>>1473
Suppose some super-special Startrek-science device could target a random molecule in your body and delete it. Even in your *spooky music* braaaaaaaaaaaaiiiin. One or two molecules, would that make any practical difference for your life? I don't believe it.

Likewise, a room full of people who follow convoluted instructions that in the aggregate amount to an ability to process and answer a question in Chinese can be thought of as a brain of sorts, even if no single person in it is able to understand the conversation. The room and the people within it as a whole have that particular intelligence, one must suffer from bourgie ultra-individualism to not get that. We don't need to think of some hypothetical room, there are many big projects existing in the real world that are only possible due to intelligent group activity. Group intelligence exists and it can be a quite distinct phenomenon from individual intelligence (so that describing that as merely thinking faster doesn't properly describe what happens at the group level, as is obvious to children – though not necessarily to philosophy professors).

Ah, you might say, this is not sufficient as a rebuttal, since the original Chinese-room argument is about a single person following rules without understanding Chinese… But this is false. It just isn't synchronous group work. Somebody designed the things that the person in the room works with in order to answer. To say that the Chinese room (meaning the person and the human-made tools together) can't answer in Chinese in that story would be wrong, it is established in the story that it happens. And to claim in protest against my assertion that the room gets Chinese that this or that element of the Chinese room doesn't understand and so the room can't understand amounts to saying that you can't truly be aware of this or that because not every molecule in your brain is aware of that, or that a rock band can't be the creators of a song because no individual in the band knows how to play each instrument the band plays in the song, etc.

One more paragraph: All what the muh-Chinese-room AI skeptic does is pointing at one screw of the robot, asserts that the screw by itself is pretty stupid (fair enough), and then calls that one screw the robot, and asserts the robot can't be truly intelligent. But just like that, you can point at particles of him and call them stupid. Particle 1 is stupid by itself, particle 2 is stupid by itself, particle 84785798375899748471987498479857 is stupid by itself. Adding zeros together makes zero in sum. You are stupid QED.

What movie?

>>8821
come and see i think

>horrifying
it's naturalistic

>>2768
That's not even the real thing. It's an ahistorical movie as it is listed in its' category.
Do you know why?

‒ Because if we have written it closer to our sources (Я из огненной деревни/I'm from the fiery village), then nobody would watch it. So we had to downplay many things and disregard some of them because what is the point of making our movie if nobody could endure it to get our message? ‒ Elem Klimov

Plus, the censorship have gutted the available historical sources, so it's even less real in the portrayal of the deeds of the US wannabes who also decided to come for their redskins.


Also, the author of this movie have said in some interview that his biggest regret about the final cut is that it didn't include the final scene where the fascists & the guerrillas, covered in dirt, are fericiously murdering each other even with bare hands @ the burning swamp fields, with smoke covering everything in sight. The idea of that scene was to show just how frighteningly a war degenerates any human being that is subject to it, and how this dehumanization gives absolutely no regard to the moral side of its' participants, be they voluntary or not. The movie, in its' essence, is an anti-war one, of course. It challenges war as a concept itself.




…Or how the other village was burnt: all of the adults were forced into a barn & their kids were kept aback. Then, while being drunk, [the fascists] have encircled all of the remaining kids with hounds & then let the dogs tear all of them apart.…

I loved this movie and I thought it was pretty horrifying for a recreation but yeah this scene was very uncanny for me.

He has a point though, the layer of shit you have to dig through to get to the interesting stuff is thicker now than it was in those years I bet there's the same amount of people making good music but we're currently oversaturated and this is a fact
This makes it harder for those good artists to come to the spotlight and reach their full potential thus it seems like music is "worse" now which I mean it's not entirely wrong. We still need some decades to tell though but already the 2000s seem like hot trash
>>497
As for the soviets they kept the Russian tradition really. But I think you're thinking about the propaganda songs which are more like marches

I really like this song and listen to it on repeat for years
Judge whoever you may be, especially if you know Sun City Girls and that this is one of the few songs of theirs I know

Is there anything else in non-anime otaku media, like light novels, manga and visual novels? I read the Death Note, Liar Game and Gambling Legend Zero mangas and am keeping up with Talentless Nana and am planning on reading Usogui and Kusuriya No Hitorigoto/The Apothecary Diaries/The Pharmacist's Monologues mangas. For light novels, Classroom of the Elite, The Empty Box And The Zeroth Maria and Rokka: Braves Of The Six Flowers are the ones most frequently mentioned on the light novel subreddit and I am currently going through The Empty Box And The Zeroth Maria, enjoying it quite a bit. For visual novels, I quite liked Your Turn To Die and The Devil on G-String/G-Senjou no Maou and am playing Umineko's demo (I also played Danganronpa but that isn't a battle of wits but a mystery).

I also heard of Spiral The Bonds of Reasoning, Btoom, Shoukoku no Altair, World Trigger, Blast of Tempest, ID Invaded and Arpeggio of Blue Steel. I watched Spiral The Bonds of Reasoning to a bit into episode four and no battle of wits happened yet. Are these any good? Anything else?

After rewatching Sagrada Reset, I watched Spiral The Bonds Of Reasoning up to and excluding episode seven and a battle of wits did happen; I quite enjoyed the tricks each side used so far.

I finished Spiral The Bonds of Reasoning three weeks ago and quite liked it, despite the extremely inconclusive ending.

All of it is shit

now that most of these got their first episodes, I'm dropping most of them except bear 2. the entire season seems to be in an uncanny valley that I can't quite describe. 10 years ago there would be 1 or 2 series per season that would give me this feeling, 5 years ago it was around 3, now it is the entire season. maybe the japanese are losing their touch, maybe it's the influence of western audiences (markets). why did they stop doing stuff like yuru yuri?

is oshi no ko any good?

anyone confused by people saying that this game was about letting go of the ideals of communism or something?

Maybe it's a valid explanation if you weren't a completionist that explored all the dialogue options, but there was so much text about how lively, young, and healthy the Deserter was.

However, as soon as the realisation that he was going to be arrested happened, he turned lifeless, and into a shell.

The phasmid becoming material happens right after the Deserter becomes lifeless. There's a small bit of flavor text, but my phasmid left me saying to continue working towards the Revolution and the workers. Right after the conversation ends, the Phasmid runs away. Also, remember to consider that there was text implying that the phasmid itself was giving the Deserter the will to keep going.

The disappearance of the Phasmid and the lifelessness of the Deserter lines up too well for me to accept the mainstream talk of "hatred and anger" made him "lifeless". It has been despair, and it has been like that for each and every one of the characters, especially Harry, that keeps people teetering between life and death.

>anyone confused by people saying that this game was about letting go of the ideals of communism or something?
Never heard this interpretation but not surprised that people would make up shit like this to not have to admit the game is blatantly biased towards leftism.
I think your post is basically correct. Disco Elysium is clearly a game about finding a way to keep going after failure, not embracing desistance. These are two very different things. As you mention, the conversation with the phasmid is arguably the key scene for the entire game. The point is that humans are capable of tremendous, terrifying things, and this is where we can find hope even after failing miserably, again and again. Hence "you are a violent and irrepressible miracle". The only way to see the game as an apologia for pessimism is by ignoring this scene altogether.
It's crazy to me that anyone could play a game that is transparently an allegory for Eastern Europe after the fall of communism (although, obviously, with plenty of details from other places and historical moments mixed in) and think the point is to just accept all the misery as it is.

>Letov's political views were incoherent garbage.
And that's why he's so good, he embodied perfectly that whole period in Russia. Though if anything he identified with pure anarchism (aka a blank sheet to say whatever the fuck you want)
>>1342
Well to begin with he was principally influenced by the 20s soviet avantgarde, futurism and all that jazz, I think it was a failure of the
soviet system to absorb these people as much as he was an edgy fuck

>>1344
Letov's political views were described by him as "Forever will I oppose". So, rebellion for the sake of rebellion.
So-o-o yeah, they are garbage, but not incoherent.
