PopeBeanie replied to the topic AI will be our end. Here's my reasoning. in the forum Science 9 months, 2 weeks ago
I’ve been mentioning this for at least a year, except that I don’t see AI as having “agency” for a while. It will start with “bad actors” in control of AI, like authoritarian governments, theocracies, and maybe some other kinds of people or orgs wanting to take control and profit in some way. It will take AI to detect bad actor controlled AI and…[Read more]

Unseen started the topic AI will be our end. Here's my reasoning. in the forum Science 9 months, 2 weeks ago
AI is inherently catastrophically dangerous to humans because it will be impossible to control.
I keep hearing it will be okay if we put guard rails on it, but look around and you’ll see that the more intelligent someone is, the more resourceful they can be in terms of first rationalizing and then finding was to either neutralize or get around…[Read more]

Sunday School 9 months, 3 weeks agoCan people believe a broken bone is fixed with faith or by prayer.?Yes, when they are delusional. The body will heal itself and medical assistance will help the process. But reasoning only happens in the mind. It is a skill that needs to be developed. As Dan Dennett once said;” Yes, I do believe in a power greater than myself. I call it gravity”.

“I don’t believe in a higher power. I believe in higher reasoning.” – me.Yes, but can you reason your way out of a broken leg? Who or what does the work, in the end, of healing a broken bone? The doctors, nurses, hospital, etc. only help it along.

I’m just guessing, but there might be something odd about that youtube channel, as the same failure also happens with a different video from that channel. It does have only three subscribers, which is odd in itself. [Edit: Now it says 6.5k subscribers. I don’t know what the heck I was looking at.] But I learned that when we post these links,…[Read more]

Sunday School 9 months, 3 weeks agoIt is so F’d up. RELIGION based? aaaahm does that mean Jewish atheists who get their chops busted because they are being blamed for the lefty lies about Israel won’t be considered in the hate crime stats?
I have read and heard how Jew hatred is a litmus test for societal stability and it certainly meets the knee jerk test.

Trump’s taxes (disguised as tariffs) are taking America’s lunch money and are handing it to Canada. Canada is more and more replacing the United States in world markets.
