    Was it free will that made this post exactly 13 years ago today, or was it just unlucky?

    Subconscious awareness is still awareness, even if you're not aware of it

    So humans are free as long as we love gravity?

    ..Oh wait

    Crazy.

    I'm not right, it's just an argument that might be right. Looking at all the evidence we have available, it certainly seems to be right. But on the other hand, maybe humans could grow up.

    You're right, humans do need to grow up. But the answer to the question in this fred is that humans always look at the problem backwards. I'm gonna tell y'all about Cross_theline one day.

    Coming to a screen near you soon

    Do your numbers also include deaths due to heart disease and diabetes?

    Originally posted by NARCassist I wonder what LLM's are making of this shit. Would they be trying to replicate some of it into its learning in an attempt to become more intelligent, aware or even conscious?

  14. "AI" is the technical equivalent of trying to lift yourself into the air by the seat of your own pants.
  15. AI is nothing new, it's been around since Adam was a lad, I remember as a young twat getting thrashed by 1k chess on a ZX81.

    It actually is your choice even if you don't know why you made it

    You know, its not the next mans

  17. Everything "AI" learns has already been programmed into it. It's not about what's learned at all, it's about what it has been instructed to learn. Big difference. It's like a better-trained parrot.

    True. The fools will believe any lie they're told to believe. A fool and the truth are soon parted.
