Not sure what you mean Simon. If I was in a bad car wreck and broke my leg…..I wake up from a coma 3 months later. My bone is fully reset as it was a ‘clean break’ and to the point that I have no awareness that it was ever even broken.

PopeBeanie replied to the topic AI will be our end. Here's my reasoning. in the forum Science 10 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 10 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 10 months, 2 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”.

Sunday School 10 months, 2 weeks agoThat’s super-interesting, Enco. That’s why I love the history of languages, they’re a way into the ancient past movements of people.
According to the internet, Aquatinian was the tribal language of the Aquatini tribe or clan or whatever, in the Pyrenees. It’s a Paleohispanic and Vasconic language. Around where I live, we had the Iceni tr…[Read more]

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]

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.
