    Mod+ Deceptive AI - Freedom and Dignity

    Greetings from Oaxaca, Mexico Daniel. Yes, I agree wholeheartedly, but isn't the point you make about AI a symptom of a wider malaise gripping society? I recently watched this short clip which Jimmy Dore made and I thi, whik it's very telling. People can no longer become engaged spontaneously...

    Mod+ Deceptive AI - Freedom and Dignity

    Well, I agree with the excellent points Daniel Jencka has made, above. It's a hallmark of Western cultural decline since the so-called Enlightenment that definitions and concepts are not worthy of being considered as important aspects of what used to be called natural philosophy, Instead...

    Max Planck Vs. AI… Scientific Materialism is Kaput |602|

    Yes, but all that Claude is doing is to repeat the mistake Kant made concerning synthetic a priori judgements.Such judgements are how modern science can make predictions, based on assessing/measuring accumulations of empirical evidence, but such judgements are abstractions. They tell us nothing...

    Max Planck Vs. AI… Scientific Materialism is Kaput |602|

    At the risk of repeating myself, the debate is still being framed in terms of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory. (It's enough to drive all of our modern gadgets, so why bother asking deeper questions?). If this is an assumption made when the AI is compiled, then it will always be...

    AI Shadow Banning? |601|

    The short answer to your question is, yes I do get it. Thank you for producing such an articulate critique of AI, which has enabled me to understand better its potential to accelerate the decline in Western culture, if not of the world in this globalised era. To be honest, I wasn't tempted to...

    Agreed, but in my view the Exopoliticians are simply politicians who can't make it in the big arena; so they play the same games among alternative communities, where they are allowed to preen themselves for being 'important'. They're not really interested in the truth. In a global(ist) economy...

    According to what I've learned about all of this, your comments are very insightful, Chris. Follow the money is an imperative that may often lead to what is real behind the masquerade. The other thing I've learned is that you know you are getting nearer to the truth when it evinces a flurry of...

    just wante to

    Well, back in 2006 I organised a conference in Liverpool where Larry now lives (I think). Larry agreed to act as compere, but he didn't want to speak about his experiences at Rendlesham. I set about inviting guest speakers for the event, one of whom was Nick. I'd prepared a briefing pack for...

    I just wanted to congratulate you Alex on the excellent interview with Gary Heseltine; as well as to thank Gary for having written the book on Rendlesham that needed to be written. I confess, I have a personal interest in the incidents, albeit indirectly. Although I haven't seen Larry Warren for...

    Andy Paquette, Total Election Control |582|

    Hmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Evidently, you don't think Kant's categorical imperative is up to much, Alex. In which case, how is the US better than any other society in which people's autonomy is taken away from them?

    Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, Debating the Nature of Reality |574|

    Oh boy, Alex, you must stop doing such compelling interviews that demand I should visit the Skeptiko forum, instead of doing what I'd planned to do after listening to it. This one provoked a veritable carousel of responses in me, as my heart and mind rose and fell with every topic both of you...

    Anthony Peake, Ferryman? |565|

    A fascinating discussion, where the antagonism - if not the disagreement itself - was happily resolved at the end. I do wonder, though, if Anthony intends to make any reference to the Myth of Er in his planned film about Plato's cave? Important though it is, there is much more in the Republic...

    Bruce Fenton, 788,000 Year Old Science |562|

    I think so too, but I shall continue the dialogue in my remarks about your interview with Anthony. Though seemingly about a different subject, they are related, because I think there's a close connection between consciousness and geometry. .
