  • The fallacy is the expectation that following escalating events would arise from the event in question.

    It’s only a fallacy if it’s unreasonable to expect the subsequent steps to occur or in this case, be attempted.

    Does that mean it’s a guarantee, of course not, just that the fallacy doesn’t apply.

    The intention or plan for escalating steps doesn’t have to be laid out perfectly to draw the parallels between this and previous similar events that were then subsequently used as foundations for greater reach.

    Your reasoning around the technical implementation of such escalation isn’t applicable here (in the conversation about whether or not the fallacy applies)

    If you want to argue that they won’t escalate, or it’s not possible , go right ahead, but raising a fallacy argument when it doesn’t apply isn’t a good start.

    If you want i can address your arguments around implementation directly,as a seperate conversation? I don’t think you’re correct on that either, but as I said I also don’t think correctness in that subject matters in the context of the fallacy.


  • If you’re going to reference the slippery slope fallacy so much, you should probably read where and when it actually applies.

    From the wikipedia entry:

    When the initial step is not demonstrably likely to result in the claimed effects, this is called the slippery slope fallacy.

    You yourself just acknowledged that the worst-case is already happening, so the assumption that the worst case will continue to happen is reasonable.

    Unless you wish to argue that :

    The worst-case scenario is already happening

    followed by you saying

    Okay, but

    isn’t an acknowledgement ?


  • Not who replied to you originally but,

    You aren’t wrong (you even stated that more is probably better) , just not necessarily presenting the whole picture.

    Ram compression isn’t a benefit only scenario, there is a cost in processing power to make that happen.

    So it’s a trade off of memory utilisation vs processing requirements.

    Whether or not it’s worth it is down to circumstance, though i agree that generally i think it’s worth the tradeoff.

    Unified memory is useful in specific circumstances, most notably LLM/ML scenarios where high vram utilisation is part of the process.

    It’s not an apples to apples comparison by any means.
