Lmao this post can be as racist as it can get already. OP didnt even cite sources of his claims. Besides, IQ is just an idea of how fast someone can understand the idea and can then construct replies and methods to respond to it. Some people are just better at it thats all, no need to compare ourselves to each other. I dont even understand why racism exists. Scientists should try to develop some tech that reverses skin color so that whites can become blacks and let them feel how they feel, how great would that be.

Black Like Me

It's been done. A long time ago. My guess if it was done again there'd be virtually no difference found.

Black Like Me, first published in 1961, is a nonfiction book by white journalist John Howard Griffin recounting his journey in the Deep South of the United States, at a time when African-Americans lived under Racial Segregation.More at Wikipedia...

If you've read Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark, you're aware that AI will be the "most important agent of change in the 21st century."

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/sep/22/life-30-max-tegmark-review

Harari's review places AI's fate on politics, and puts the blame on politician's technological ignorance for not trying to make long-term decisions regarding AI for our good.

Quote
Unfortunately, AI has so far hardly registered on our political radar. It has not been a major subject in any election campaign, and most parties, politicians and voters seem to have no opinion about it. This is largely because most people have only a very dim and limited understanding of machine learning, neural networks and artificial intelligence.

When science becomes politics, scientific ignorance becomes a recipe for political disaster.

One possible solution could be to have political positions created with the objective of planning the future of AI with engineers and scientists in office, instead of having the fate of our future lie in the hands of shareholders and people like Donald Trump.

Do you have a better idea?
Yes.

First of all you have to forget the nonsense you read, and forget the idiocy of attempting to think you understand political implications.

Begin by thinking about the fact that you cannot comprehend AI. Period. You (and I, and everyone) are totally clueless about what it might do or how it might do it. That's self-definitional and cannot be refuted.

You can understand no more about AI than you could understand the working of a brain IQ 400 doing math.

Such an entity might stay completely out of human affairs. Or it might not.

“AI’s decision-making process is usually too difficult for most people to understand,” Polonski continues. “And interacting with something we don’t understand can cause anxiety and make us feel like we’re losing control.”

I think this is also happening to cryptocurrency. People do not understand how it works so they do not trust it. Since they do not trust it, they do not "buy" it, and just laugh at people who are into it.

Let me know when we understand the human brain.

Thank you for your concern over my possible constitutional well being.

Unfortunately, though, the "process" I refer to is not the "due process" you would like to get on a high stool and lecture sagely about.

Rather it's a process of entrapment, used by unethical prosecutors when they know they are unlikely to find evidence on the subject that a person was brought in for questioning for.




Wasn't the prosecutors GOP appointed? Why did he lie to congress / senate? If he answered truthfully and honestly, we wouldn't be discussing this.

Overall, the shitbag nominee is a shitbag.

It MIGHT BE TRUE that what I'm saying is I'm giving you this one. I'm allowing you the possibility that "Have you BOOFED yet? 'Flatulence.' " ....

Might be a BALD FACED LIE. And (whisper-whisper) it was really about was whether he'd engaged in sexual act XYZ.

However what are the CONSEQUENCES of my giving you that one. Suppose the consequence was for you (or other Democrats) to continue arguing an insanely  ridiculous and silly point. Suppose the consequence was to make you/them look totally stupid.

I checked your "collusion-timeline" link and didn't see any collusion.


........
There's been multiple reports from individuals (and sworn testimony) that says Brett perjured himself. .....

There's a prosecutorial tactic that's summarized as Trapping a person into Process Violations.

It doesn't matter who it is or what it is, you get them under oath answering questions, and with a bit of skill at how the questions are phrased pretty soon you have CRIMES!

That's what happened with Flynn. That's why Trump doesn't want to talk with Mueller. That's .... what you are talking about here.

This is different from guilt or innocence on the matter for which the person was brought in and put under oath, eg for Kavanaugh  various Rape Smears.

I am really not interested in process nonsense. Now you can call that stupid if you want, but that's actually my opinion on it. Anyway I hear there's a new charge on Kavanaugh that should be vigorously investigated.

During college one night ....

HE THREW ICE AT SOMEONE!


I am really not interested in process nonsense.

Wow. Due process isn't your interest? Just supreme and totalitarian control? Sounds pretty fascist bypassing the checks and balances this nation was founded on.

Maybe you should read up on the constitution before you continue posting here...

I don't think there is any public evidence that shows any of this is a lie. What you say is nothing more than speculation.

Anyone is welcome to cough up their 1982 calendar and their yearbooks and refute him. But nobody is doing that.

There shouldn't be any need for speculation. Doesn't matter anyway. We're going to see pretty quickly whether the guy gets confirmed or not.

And then we're going to see whether the bigger motivator of the base voters is the smears and lies of the lying liars bringing out to vote outraged Democrats who got cheated once again of what they think they deserved...

Or outraged Republicans and independents sick and tired of this juvenile horseshit.

Where's that Russian Collusion?

Now, you bash this as fake news, but in reality, it's not. There's actual evidence from multiple independent sources that say this guy lied under oath.

Also, let's put something he said to the smell test;

"I'm was a football captain"

"I went to parties and got drunk in highschool"

"I never had sexual contact with anyone during highschool or for several years after highschool".

So, a partying, drinking, highschool football captain never got laid during highschool? I'd call absolute bollocks on that fact alone. Dude has no right to lie to the American public about this shit.....


Think about what you are doing. Nothing. You are not going to convince me and I am not going to convince you.

I know this is all all delay tactics, you appear to be brainwashed that it's somehow about actual abilities and suitability.

After these jerk off Demo senators are thru complaining and pulling every delaying and smear tactic they can, not a one of them is going to vote for Kav.

I have said what I think the outcome is going to be, that enough people see through the bullshit that Kav will be confirmed in short order. There will be a bunch of hysterical screaming Dems looking silly and stupid.

Just like they looked silly and stupid when the Russia Collusion lies collapsed.

What about that perjury?....
How about that Russia collusion?

I'm getting pretty sick of all this nonsense.

Literally direct evidence of a violation of federal law by lying under oath.

Yet you refuse to accept it as evidence. ._.

No, I refuse to accept your bogus repeating of fake news.

Look at this nonsense. First sexual assault, then gang rape, then the rape at the boat party, then after all that dissolves ..... He threw some ice at a guy in a bar.

But regardless, it won't work. My prediction is the Senate is going to vote in very short order and will confirm the guy. And the ordinary Americans are going to be pretty angry about this entire thing, and they will show that anger in the mid terms.

Are you curious why Trump got elected?

It was exactly this sort of stuff that people are totally sick of.

I read Kurzweil's book several years ago, and it was really stupid. It's the extrapolation fallacy in book form:

He seems to believe that progress just happens regardless of everything else. In reality, progress happens because people make it happen, and it can be stopped if we hit a wall in research or if society changes to no longer allow for effective/useful scientific progress.

If human-level AI is created on traditional computing systems, then a singularity-like explosion of technology seems likely. There are existential risks there, but also potentially ~infinite benefit. But I'm not convinced that we're close to human-level AI. Deep neural networks can do some impressive things, but they don't actually think or plan: they're like a very effective form of intuition. I don't think that we will find human-level AI at the end of that road. In the worst-case scenario we should eventually be able to completely map out the human brain and simulate it on a computer, but that'll be many decades into the future at least.

Many leftists have a habit of thinking that since progress continues continuously and exponentially, we should just assume post-scarcity any day now. Which is exactly how you damage society and the economy so badly that you stop all progress completely...

These are very good points, but note the entire discussion is about "the time frame."

Suppose instead of 50 years, you look at the next 500 years ....

Yes they can comprehend and appreciate these values.

It is in fact part of the reason they are eager to leave such repressive cultures and come to the west.

But there are some that just don't "get it."

Most Muslims didn't do a thing about Charlie Hebro. But a few did, and they did a massacre. Why? What was different with those few?
