  1. We’re not talking about intelligence. We’re not talking about AI. You said there’s definitely a soul. You haven’t defined it nor offered evidence. Stop evading and putting up red herrings.
  2. How about instead you quit clutching your pearls
  3. Incorrect. There are multiple definitions of intelligence, and that’s certainly a challenge. However, you are the one suggesting a soul exists so this isn’t red herring and you are merely distracting from the fact that you lack a broadly accepted and falsifiable definition of soul.
  4. And then inflation… I can explain it for you but I can’t understand it for you. Thanks for the neg
  5. Only if you define soul so broadly that it becomes useless and without meaning
  6. In fact, neutrality becomes compliance and implicit support when faced with circumstances like these. One may as well say they’re neutral on child molestation or the torture of entire communities. Failure to pushback and defend the better path becomes equivalent to support and acceptance of the worse one.
  7. Current circumstances strongly imply the opposite
  8. Can you recommend a better comparison
  9. He was brown. They saw him as an easy way to hit their quota
  10. You mean like really amazing collard greens and peach cobbler and sweet tea and similar fixins, or were you instead talking about deep intensely emotional and transformative music that manages to carry you away from your day and elevate you from your troubles? Either way, I'm fairly certain science accepts both, TBH.
  11. Source: Extraction from rectum. See also: Trust me, bruh
  12. Probably better / smarter to focus instead on his extensive use of ketamine, adderall, and related other psychoactive agents. IMO, ozempic is the least impactful least relevant item impacting his brain function. . EDIT: I see this is a dupe of an already trashed thread anyway: https://scienceforums.net/topic/136020-elon-musk-and-ozempic/
  13. AI has been around for over 15 years. It took off with concepts of machine learning and then neural networks. LLMs are a type of AI, specifically generative, where new combinations of old data are pulled together in statistical ways. AGI is the big thing that most people think of when discussing the topic, and while some models are getting scary close, we’re not quite there yet. Different models are good at different things. Some excel at images, others at musical composition, others at coding, and even within that some models are better at coding in some languages than in others. Ultimately these are all tools. You can’t just hand someone a hammer and expect them to be able to build a cathedral. You can’t put any fool into a race car and have them set track records. You must know how to query them and know how to navigate their various eccentricities. But yes. LLMs are a type of AI just like arithmetic is a type of maths.
  14. Your "citations" may as well point to google. It appears that wherever you copy/pasted this from failed to provide actual pages and actual sections... unless this failure was yours and you put those references there directly? Either way, it's useless crap intended to look impressive and failing.
  15. Nor internet randos named Linkey who are quite clearly here to push propagandist narratives
  16. Different models have different strengths. It also matters how the user prompts it. In woodworking there is a tool called a lathe. It spins a block of wood while the craftsman interacts with it using various skews and chisels and tool rests. It takes time to learn what speeds to turn different species and which cutting tool to use for which cuts, and it takes more time to develop proper techniques to get those shapely table legs and rocking chair spindles and wooden bowls etc. You’re not going to have a masterpiece the first piece of wood you turn. Approach these models with the same beginners mindset. Use more words to explain your query. Think like a poet or novelist most than a mathematician. In these instances, short and pithy is contraindicated.
  17. It’s called moving the goalposts and throwing random fallacies at the wall to see if any stick
  18. The word you’re looking for is whataboutism
  19. It's not religious liberty they want. It's government elevation of Christianity specifically. See also how these commissions and rules changes never seem to be in favor of Hinduism or Islam. How it's always biblical quotes they're putting in classrooms and nothing from the Quran or the Vedas.

    To my knowledge, yes

    There is a company in Austin, Texas doing this. 3D printed homes using concrete which is impervious to rot and insect infestation and allows for incredibly creative shapes and curves that standard framing simply cannot achieve. It’s very cool tech especially as costs come down, and could potentially one day help us to colonize other worlds.
  22. Classic non-denial denial

    My kids like it. They’re still at the happy meal age and their mother is lazy so enables it. I find that no matter how much I eat I always still feel hungry and deeply unsatisfied when done. I like chick-fil-a better but hate their politics so don’t go there often either. Whataburger was better.
