You really have no idea how computers work, and even if I explained how you are mistaken I doubt you'd understand it. If you want to correct that mistake I'd suggest taking a Computer Science Compiler Design course, its the materi

Well there's quite a lot here that's just flat wrong, but you get the gist of some of it. To clarify, Computers can't pass turing tests because the answer is divergent, or in other words has multiple possible answers. There m

Unemployment in the US Has always been a flawed metric in recent history. BLS data has been manipulated and methodology changed to always paint the rosiest picture for policymakers. The shadowstats website has continued with the older more

Nice try, dogma has nothing to do with studying outcomes, and dogma isn't what we're talking about. The contention is if history has gone through multiple and innumerable cycles and has ended up at the same outcome multiple times

Well there is that and I've never been one to bury my head in the sand. I've always found its better to know than not know, since you can only control what you know about.

You may want to get yourself an SDR kit and check that for yourself. They typically broadcast on 43-33 cm band, (700-900mhz), and 2.4/5 ghz. You'd also be wrong about Apple's privacy protection.

Probabilities and likelihood have a very poor track record with any kind of prediction. Also given enough time anything on that distribution curve will come to pass. There's also the ineffable outcomes you have to worry about too, not

It cliche, but those that discount and ignore history, are doomed to repeat it. A famous catchphrase, this time it will be different. Hope is not a strategy.

Your response's argument is a classic example of survivor bias. It also ignores a growing body of evidence. If new jobs arise as you say in the same amounts, why is it that young people are having such a hard time finding gainful emplo

It doesn't strengthen positions, it fits until it doesn't, and then it has runaway. In my opinion, this is a really stupid pursuit. Bots aren't people, and you would think this endeavor was poorly thought through if you knew

Blue, your perspective has some serious flaws and is quite ignorant of the way things actually are. What you and a large majority of everyone else don't get is this, AI does not need to become AGI to destroy us all. The minimal much ea

That's because anthropologists are very particular about their methodology, and which papers get accepted for peer review. We've known about precession, but since these cycles occur in the tens of thousands of years, and each cycl

The writers show they have no credibility, its incredibly stupid both what they say, and what they specifically don't say. Its very malign and manipulative.

It is not really surprising at all. There is very little hope for a free future, and that won't change because too much profit backs it. All the corporations care for is profit and coercion, all the politican's care for is increas

That's a very irrational line of flawed circular thought. You cannot have responsibilities without having the necessary rights needed to fulfill those responsibilities. Its two sides of the same coin. You have both, or you have neither
