   Is it possible to use Emacs effectively if you never want to do any Lisp programming at all?

   Things are different when you have the mainstream media on your side. Case in point is the fact that you believe people were trying to overthrow the government without weapons.

   Where did I say that I don't understand it? It's a little telling that you said that. Now, tell me you sat there watching it without being distracted by your thoughts.

   Wow, I thought that had to be a joke.

   > Is being distracted by your thoughts so terrible[?]... No, but it probably means you're forcing yourself to watch/like it. I never suggested expunging the movie. Regardless, excessively long movies/books expunge themselv

   You can be as intellectually dishonest as you like. The GP is just pointing it out.

    I guess that makes sense because plutonium goes missing too.

    I think it pays to just point out good use cases. For me, it's a superpowered thesaurus, a more concise and relevant Wikipedia, and an excellent listicle generator. AI is not all-powerful, but those things alone help me a lot when I&#x

    Okay so there's a difference for people who actually take telemarketer calls seriously. Honestly, they deserve that punishment because they've encouraged telemarketers. Thank you, bots!

    > Proliferation of inhuman impostors that emulate human communication can endanger relationships in human society. If I pick up the phone and the telemarketer is a robot instead of a human, what difference does it make?

    Treating what your opponents consider truth as hostile is basically presuming they are arguing in bad faith. They may well be, but you may be misinformed. At any rate, iMessage does not verify that what is said is true. It just weeds out ob

    Truth rests on axioms. You would have to teach an AI what you think is true, but then it would have a kind of confirmation bias.

    Maybe your view of merit is too narrow, or mine is too broad. QA supremacy makes sense, but it relies on the merits of QA (that QA are competing to be the best) to avoid false positives/negatives rather than rubber stamping, no?

    Does a prion think for itself? Who said self-replication is sufficient for AGI?

    Sure. The person using it has intent. Now we have come to a point in which intent alone is art. Let there be light.

    So what? You can gatekeep as much as you like, but whatever humans relate to as art is art.

    I really can't grasp how people think that a system that doesn't have a need to preserve itself will somehow start thinking for itself. AI is quite troublesome for privacy though. How much privacy humans need is a question we&#x27

    Who cares? With AI, you don't need art school. AI is making humanities redundant, and people are too proud to admit it. I can't believe how many people are not in awe of the possibilities of AI art, so it's great to see AI di
