    Why AI is Divine? |609|

    I'm typically pretty skeptical of the proverbial "next big thing" as its so often prone to grifting or "selling one's own book". That said in my field (investments/finance), we're already seeing huge usage of this technology and that's just in the last 12 months or so. Its already a rather...

    Predicting 2024 |603|

    Thanks for the response. I'd be lying if I said I followed this (above my pay grade maybe? :) ) I was reacting more to your theorizing that AI could (will?) become conscious, at least as we generally define it as having an inner experience and, for those who aren't ardent determinists, agency.

    Source? Or maybe you need to define "good" and "bad" for us?

    AI Shadow Banning? |601|

    Can you think of any set of circumstances where you WOULDN'T think this is the case? (Is your position testable/falsifiable?)

    AI Shadow Banning? |601|

    I don't think there is an actual verbal to verbal interaction method. At least I couldn't find one. I'm guessing Alex took the written transcripts and voice acted his own inputs and used some text-to-speech mechanism to verbalize the AI's written responses. He can clarify I'm sure.

    Richard Cox, Being Right About No Virus |573|

    I just think its dangerous to be dogmatic and your position came off a bit dogmatically to me. Life is full of situations where you have to bend yourself to wills other than your own. I think of these sovereign citizen videos of misguided folks trying to say they are "travelling" while...

    Richard Cox, Being Right About No Virus |573|

    Your conclusion seems to be an OpEd castigating any sort of centralized use of power in favor of bottom up, naturally occurring human activity to address any and all issues that might emerge. Hardly seems to be a scientific, objective, or evidence-based argument but rather a philosophical...

    Why CDC whistleblower revelations about vaccines and autism never made headlines, and what that mean

    Kind of a tough way to start a position statement Jim.

    Vincent Tolman, NDE Lessons |591|

    For sure, but I see this as conflating two things that seem independent. (The religious institution(s) vs the source (e.g., Jesus, God, etc in this case)) Its akin to me of using some of the bad institutional actions/actors in science to discredit the underlying notion of science itself. Same...

    Vincent Tolman, NDE Lessons |591|

    What human institutional-level activity isn't "scammy" at scale? I always find this an odd criticism as it seems to be applied selectively or more directly doesn't differentiate since its universal (to my view).

    Just curious, but are these people who have some type of chronic illness/condition that continually requires intervention to restart their hearts?

    Jason Jorjani. Does AI = PSI? |589|

    Don't sweat it Zenny. This is what this guy does; over and over. Comes in hard, any response back that doesn't fully (to the letter) concur with his biases, and bam. Ignore feature. But not JUST ignore, he LOVES to extoll his usage of the feature. Its odd and completely antithetical to the...

    Richard Cox, Being Right About No Virus |573|

    So Richard, everything you are putting forth as a potential alternative to the mainstream doesn't seem to be a grand conspiracy. Rather, as many of us have suggested, it could be a point in between: A real virus was released on the world and human bungling took over from there: ineptitude...

    Andy Paquette, Precognitive Dreams |583|

    Seems sailors have seen the effects of curvature from sea level for centuries. When watching a ship come into visual view on the horizon of an ocean, the ship appears mast first, then superstructure, then finally the hull. I mean what are we talking about here?

    covid loose ends

    Come on Alex. The only evidence you need is to read a single book from a singularly biased source? There's no rigor there at all. Why wouldn't you use your impressive network to reach out to the folks at John Hopkins directly if you really cared to understand event 201? See what you might...

    covid loose ends

    Maybe its semantics gents, I don't know. What are we talking about here? A conspiracy to make money or a conspiracy to create "globally synchronized tyranny"? Because I read those as two completely (or damn near completely) different things. If its the latter, can you provide a definition...
