  1. It's kinda religious, but without the grounding of a wise decision...
  2. I've got a tenner, that says, if he returns, he'll disagree...
  3. No, it's far more nebulous than that... Wasn't the internet built to bypass any stoppage?
  4. Perhaps, but did you even consider the possibility that I was agreing with you?
  5. This is the article that triggered my question... I'm suggesting that in a court of law, this co-founder could argue that he has washed his hand's of any responsibility due to his warning of the danger his AI presents, even if he continues to work on the project.
  6. That really looks like an assumed authority...
  7. We have an AI creator 'Anthropic' warning us that we're in danger of losing control of AI development since they're writing their own code. Is 'Anthropic' at fault for the consequences of ignoring that warning?
  8. Indeed, how often do some people get angry, when you innocently ask them to explain how <insert true fact> actually works; and it's true throughout the IQ bandwidth/spectrum/humanity... It usually comes from an assumed authority...
  9. And we're back to the orbiting teapot, the title of the topic is "Could aliens ever visit earth?" and even you seem to be admitting it's highly, verging on the impossible, unlikely; so what's the point? Indeed and the ship had to be 70,000 tons, to balance the forces IIRC.
  10. You said yourself, I'm paraphrasing, 'Why would a space faring civilisation waste resources visiting a gravity well, when all their needs are met'. Besides, if travelling slowly wouldn't they be more susceptible to being dragged into the well? A teapot orbiting Jupiter, is perfectly possible but since I can't interact with it, it's not worth the effort to justify it;s existence.
  11. I have no idea, but it is plausible, Napoleon was loved by many and equating him with a pig is not acceptable; you should see some of the law's in some American state's. 🙃 I did hear it from a source of trust tho... I was thinking more Wittgenstein "The limits of my language means the limits of my world."
  12. In France, it's illegal to call a pig Napoleon...
  13. Doesn't that explain the Fermi paradox? You may as well be talking about the teapot orbiting Jupiter...
  14. Not at all, facts requires faith for us to accept them, truth is just waiting for us to prove it wrong, again... Why are they required? I can sit here and ponder many thing's and I have no direct information on anything beyond what I think I'm experiencing. Who taught you that?
  15. Really? Intelligent life has to evole somewhere, that retains an atmosphere to live in, long enough to develope an intelligent approach to escaping a gravity well that retains an atmosphere, but prohibits an escape,,, Seems like a fine balance...
