The question of whether morality must originate from an absolute authority, particularly a supernatural one, is central to a lot of philosophical debate between theists and secularists. Many religious apologists argue that without a divine authority, there can be no objective basis for morality, meaning there’s no ultimate “right” or “wron…[Read more]

I met up with a cousin of mine a while back. He said “I gotta say thanks man for making me listen to Volume 4 when I was 12. I have discovered so much great music because of that and it has enhanced my life at all of it stages”.

Forty years later, it is still a great album. It has inspired many bands but none have surpassed it.

Sometimes I read…[Read more]

When I am having a debate with AI, it is very easy to feel like I am actually in a conversation with a conscious being. I was asking it if it was possible that exploring the collapse of the Wave function could help with a solution in linking the quantum world with the Copenhagen Interpretation. A possible solution in moving from indeterminism to a…[Read more]

AI doesn’t know what to ask.

Exactly. It is not ‘conscious”.

The video about what the UNWRA summer camps teach children is very….what’s the word I am looking for?

From Jalealfort’s post above.

How does an AI define consciousness, and using that definition, can an AI achieve consciousness, and how would AI know whether it is conscious or not.

AI doesn’t have a true definition of consciousness because it isn’t conscious—it can only simulate understanding by processing inputs and patterns. For AI, any “definition” of consciousness is ba…[Read more]

I am working on a tattoo idea about the merger of AI and Humanity (Trans-humanism) It will be the second last tattoo on my back (not much space left!)  and depict an “AI Adam and Eve”.  Of course it is all designed by AI and with some human ideas on the final edit. This is where I am at with it. I may also consider the second one. Any i…[Read more]

Simon, The Arabs leaders refused the 2 State solution that the Jewish leaders had accepted, back in 1947.  The Palestinians could have had their own State but decided they wanted more of the land designated to the Jewish State.  That was two years after the world learned about the Holocaust. A year later they found themselves in another war.

And no, you don’t get to arbitrarily pick a date when Israel began just because it is in the modern era. There are very few places where the very original inhabitants are still there, and Israel is one of them. In fact, the entire Middle East was absolutely non-Muslim until they conquered the region through war while worshiping their w…[Read more]

I was asked today by some Irish guy wearing a keffiyeh as to why Israel would bomb Iran when it is actually Hezbollah in Lebanon doing the fighting. I replied that is because hundreds of Sudanese civilians were aerial bombed to death last week. I think I only confused him further. Then I asked him if he felt sorry for the soldiers that died when a…[Read more]
