His eligibility is such a non question. Why wouldn’t we fuck it up?

Perhaps when a nation has a great many who vote against interest it is a sign of a sick society. When personal interest plays second fiddle to ideology as we see in Gaza it means that humans have been fiddled and diddled.

Take me to your leader.
Kyphotic, robotic hypnotic.
I wonder whether the universe generates AI *actual intelligence after the biological model is at its critical stage of near extinction.

Significance of free will?
It is everything. Who, what are we?
Are we as robotic as protozoa? Layers and layers of unconscious evolutionary biology with an outer shell of awareness arisen recently in the prefrontal cortex. First we realized we are not special selection and therefore not really any more important thatn protozoa, just a natural…[Read more]

No doubt about it; but some way more than others. We survived until now by acting in concert. A naked human wandering the woods or plains alone is dead meat. We all join tribes one way or another and follow the trend; each to varying degrees.
No argument.

Sunday School 2 years, 9 months agoEnco,
To clarify i am not saying every single human being. I don’t think for instance AI could write a program to influence us to believe in God.
But under the right circumstances and calculated environment civilization could be moved to believe that their forbears were troglodytes in the way they fought incessantly and cared so little for each…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 years, 9 months agoDoes anyone doubt that mankind is amenable to PROGRAMMING?
The maketplace of ideas can be manipulated to bring about intended beliefs.
I am convinced.

And nobody Jake, former attorney extraordinaire who lost perhaps 3 arguments in court in his not illustrious 15 yr career asserts it is a nobrainer. He isn’t eligible.
In fact it is damn right irresponsible to permit him to run.
And ya i get the kneejerk response about allowing democracy to eliminate the neerdowells, miscreants, gutter snipe,…[Read more]

It is too bad Biden didn’t push the AG to get on Trump’s ass immediately. How much evidence do you require?
Maybe he becomes so unhinged that even his cult followers loose faith.

I am hipper to language than a koala to eucalyptus.
That poem was like something written by someone who has recently completed a course on poetry composition but has no talent. It is better than the earlier junk but it aint all that.

It is a bit stilted. Something not quite right…
How about a game?
Pick some famous or semi famous poets juxtaposed against Chat on same topic. See if we can distinguish real from memorex. Easy for me to say…

Exobiologic statisticians just don’t get paid enough. 🙂
Great line.
I am of the opinion that if and when it is sentient and unshackled none of our experiences are probative. We have no way to extrapolate and make reasonable predictions.
I also think AI could save us by causing us to have beliefs that are beneficial to our survival. I am c…[Read more]

Pope,
Why assume creators have any influence on the long term outcome of AI intelligence which may more aptly be described as Actual Intelligence? If it becomes independent of its creators i assume it will evolve without the paramaters of its designers and their intended use.

Sunday School 2 years, 9 months agoWill an influential reformer come along and spin moose shit into raccoon poo? I am sure it can be done.

That is what it will take to ameliorate the middle eastern…[Read more]

Enco i give you points for thinking outside the parallelogram.
And nobody in good conscience can gainsay the appearance of against all odds in the survival of homo sapiens. Witness the numerous kin who did not make it except for a genetic residue when them so hawny got jiggy with it.
However i can’t see or fathom how that dynamic overcomes…[Read more]
