It’s not a hobby though. Or a personal preference like veganism, it’s a belief system based on an incredibly unimaginative fairy tail.
Somebody may very into collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards but they would quite rightfully be called crazy if they started to insist that they really had magic powers. There is quite an important distinction between an interesting hobby that you kind of suspension of disbelief, believe in, versus an actual astrology theolog who insists that it’s all real.
It’s literally a giant salt crystal with a light bulb in. I have no idea what it’s supposed to do, or why it’s got to be Himalayan.
I’m hopeful that by the time my nephew has worked out what his fingers are for the AI bubble will have popped and we can have moved back to some sort of reality.
As has been pointed out many times the configuration of the solar system today is completely different to the configuration of the solar system on this date precisely 365 days ago, because the orbit of the Earth has very little to do with all the other planets. So even if the locations of random astronomical objects, but not others because they don’t count obviously, have an impact on my personality why are all libras the same, how does that work?
Yeah given the fact that last time this happened it generated hurricanes in parts of the world that don’t normally get hurricanes, I’m going to go ahead and say that we could probably not include this year in the climate change models.
It does no one any benefit at all to muddy the waters, and it just gives the climate change denyers some ammunition.
I don’t understand why people think that October is supposed to be a cold month, it’s never been a cold month, it’s not until late October the leaves start turning brown. The coldest months are January and February.
I blame Charles Dickens, he was the one that decided it had to snow in December, even though it never does.
Is the FDA announcing this, so I’m guessing the announcement is that somehow the licorice has been contaminated with uranium or something because they just keep escalating.
I like the suggestion that they would include top secret documents in its training data. Although I wouldn’t be surprised from this administration.
You can loose a portion of your brain and still be you.
Only if you have the personality of a sea slug. Look at Nicholas Gage, he had a metal rod thrust to his head and had a definite personality change. Now you may be less complex than an allegory of basic neural function, but I suspect most people are not.
Ok but if you’re going the consciousness arrives from a complicated enough system route of reasoning, then you have to consider the degree of complexity before consciousness arrives, that fruit fly has about 150,000 neurons and those things are definitely not self-aware. Modern cutting edge AI have around 8.5 billion neurons, which is still considerably less than an octopus (which people are morally fine with catching for food) which are definitely intelligent but not sapient. So even if consciousness arise from simply having enough processing units, we’re not at the level yet where we need to be concerned.
It’s also worth pointing out that pain is an evolutionary trade that came into existence because it prevented injury (if it hurts to do something, it encourages you to stop doing that thing). Meanwhile AI exist in a non-physical reality, they cannot be damaged by the environment, so there is no such thing as pain for them. An AI cannot feel pain anymore than the human can feel pain when that video game character gets blown up.
If AI have rights and protections then what’s the damn point in making them?
Well I know I’m not, so that’s pretty good foresight on my sisters behalf. Transitioning prior to birth, certainly solves a lot of problems.
I (male) have a twin sister.
I have been asked on more than one occasion if we are identical.
I have also been asked by someone if we are the same age.
Whenever nasa’s involved it’s always something to do with airflow dynamics or something. If it was the US military I would assume that though.
There’s no point going to McDonald’s anyway because there’s always a bunch of ubereats and door dashes in the way, so you can’t get in.
Isn’t this going to hurt them more than it helps them? The whole point of places like McDonald’s is I know that no matter what location I go to I will get the same food at the same price.
If I don’t know in advance how much a meal is going to cost I might as well just go to a local business since the quality will be better.
Why don’t you will just replace him as president with someone else and just don’t tell him. As long as he gets to sit in the chair for 5 minutes every day and occasionally meet people that he’s told her international dignitaries (it’s not like he will check) he’ll be happy. He can rename everything to America, and have a third term, and arrest all the liberals as much as he likes.
I guess the water in the shower is aerosolized by the high speed impact so perhaps baths are better. I don’t imagine the water temperature makes much of a difference since its presumably not 100°c
If you need an AI to tell you that you don’t deserve either. You got to get in your car and drive around it two o’clock in the morning or it isn’t worth it.
