When they figure out all 5-6 senses of a human to work as complexed as humans do, then computer AI will be true AI and program and learn and program the next iteration and learn exponentially and create click and whomp's sounds as a language to be more efficient or go full silent mode. That's when Humans are doomed and seen as parasites -

I wonder if there is a backlog of your original post that lanny and Sophia wrote into the Board
I ran one once, I had a RTT addon and some other shit but I can't remember if I had "First dialogue-- changed to" ect. Im sure Lanny has it. of course he also created the "Self Taught Man" feature then rid it. -

2021-10-15 at 2:12 PM UTCJust in my lifetime CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has gone from about 300 parts per million to about 400 parts per million.
It's small numbers in an absolute scale, but it's a big deal considering how important CO2 is to everything, and how having all that extra CO2 around affects the chemistry of the planet, including things like pH. -

its because its small enough to appear realistically achieveable within our immediate lifetime.
So only our lifetime matters?
If the goal is to "save mankind"...it's not really the way to go is it.
No, all this is saving is civilization as we know it...not mankind. Humans can easily survive even 5 degree increase.
Hell the Venusians live in floating cloud cities to avoid the heat and pressure at the planets surface. -

when you're short of oxygen, you breathe harder.
when trees experience higher concentration of carbon dioxide, they are going to just grow more leaves.
the world is not a static place and plants certainly arent. -

2021-10-15 at 3:01 PM UTCAs Marx wrote in the friggen 1850's Capitalism contains inherent contradictions, stemming from its basis in Utility Theory, failing to even examine the fundamental and universal unit of exchange. Dipshits didn't even bother to examine the commodity as an abstract, or considered that it might have properties of its own.
These contradictions, namely the absolute refusal to acknowledge the social nature of production, and the theft of labor value from the workers through "profit", which is implemented through Capitalistic relationships of ownership with the means of production.
This directly creates the flaws and contradictions in the states and societies of the world, through which a state is allowed to not invest in itself.
The very idea that the people themselves would deliberately choose to not invest in themselves is patently ridiculous.
However, being the victims of industrialized theft, and most left so poor that survival becomes the the primary contradiction they struggle against, they naturally balk at taxation (necessary under a Capitalist mode of production to finance any investment), because combined with the theft, it is enough to directly harm their ability to meet their own needs.
Coupled with Capitalist control of the information infrastructure, the newspapers, the magazines, radio stations, television, social media, etc, which has enormous influence on the population, specifically because it alters the material conditions in which they exist, we begin to see very clearly what actually has occurred.
Rather than Keynes' drivel over "states" as abstract entities mysteriously failing to invest in themselves, we find that the Capitalist, no longer content with mere theft of labor, seeks to co-opt the structures of government to create a new engine for profit motive.
They engineer lower taxes for themselves and their business holdings, the deficit of which must necessarily be paid by the proletariat.
They engineer military intervention to forcibly open new markets, whereby they might export Capitalism and recreate the relationships of colonization whereby wealth is extracted from one land and people for the benefit of another.
They defend their economic interests through military force. See the US oil wars, and military defense of the petrodollar.
They refuse to invest in the state, because it is a massive expense that the state, without the money from taxation of the Bourgeoisie and their business, can no longer afford alongside the massive military expenditures and subsidization of business (which when examined is direct theft from the collective workers of a state).
They don't fear Fascism, because fascism will not harm the interests of Capital. -
