The parent comment you tried to explain was about A.I. Doomsday. If you think the A.I. will not cause doomsday I don't know why you are trying to "explain" it.

I don't think that article is really addressing the same argument. The argument Asimov is addressing seems to be whether human scientists will always disprove the previous century's human scientists. The argument the poster above

I assume you don't have to answer correctly on the crosswalk question, you just have to answer the way most humans answer the question when asked... but I have nothing to back that up.

Why would anyone want to work with a helmet on their head at all times like this? It's like saying the endgame for computers is all communications will be over video phones like on the jetsons. It sounds like a cool scifi concept unt

The threat of nuclear weapons was an empirical fact, not a thought experiment. The issue isn't whether we can imagine alarming thought experiments but rather why would we take seriously someone whose field of "work" is "

Some people think the "apocalypse" A.I. safety people consist largely of individuals engaged in magical/ religious thinking based on a love of fiction, so if we were to pick a 1960s analogy, it would be like some people conce

Zune's were very basic music and video players(I used to own one.) You can't say with a straight face that the user interface of the Zune had any great similarities to the User interface of a desktop OS.

The Bing chatbot searches the web for you, it doesn't just spit out answers like ChatGPT. There's no clear distinction between the Chatbot and a search engine. I just asked it about something in today's news and it answered

You could be right but that doesn't explain why the yield to maturity is reported so low. The yield to maturity should be the earning you get if you hold the fund until maturity and interest rates stay as they are today. It's pos

I don't think anyone is suggesting the archive create a shell corporation. If archive leadership desperately wanted to get sued by publishers, they could have resigned from working at the archive and formed a different organization.
