    I never made one in the first place. I still don’t understand why it wasn’t immediately obvious to everyone else that Facebook was toxic and a bad idea. I truly don’t understand ho…

    Everything in this comment is wrong. Forgive me for not addressing all of it. The point about the layman is that the actual substance of my argument should be considered rather tha…

    Having a sense of humor is such a nice thing. Can’t I poke a little fun? Cheers man

    I’m going to love watching liberal people try to figure out how this is bad

    That’s a really good point.

    the answers to your questions are 1: I never said recent advancements are directly leading to AGI. Not in ML. 2: I don’t hold any contradictory ideas in my head Your comment is agg…

    Where in the logic of my argument have I made a mistake?

    So ai is not a problem in your eyes?

    So sarcasm is what will save us all?

    You are an outlier. Even Hassabis and Hinton believe that agi is inevitable. I’ve never met anyone who thought otherwise. The only disagreement is about the timescale and the resul…

    I never said anything about your religious beliefs, only that your need for hard proof one way or the other is similar to the need displayed by people who want to believe in god an…

    Yes, the grandfather of deep learning. This is exactly my point. All the modern advancements in ai have nothing to do with agi. And by the way I happen to know about both of the su…

    I don’t remember insulting anyone. And how is that not true?

    I appreciate that you actually suggest a solution. Nobody knows when AGI will come but it could come tomorrow. It could come in 1000 years. No harm in being proactive. Developing a…

    We can survive global warming. We can fix it. We can come back from it. We will never come back from ai. It’s not impossible to ban ai. And we would be stupid to assume it’s imposs…

    You don’t even begin to comprehend what I’m saying. You need to think about this more deeply. So what if it is possible to create a benevolent ai? Nobody said this isn’t possible o…

    Even anti-alarmists don’t ask for proof that AGI is possible. Obviously it is possible. Speculation is the best you get because nobody is going to be able to prove anything. We hav…

    I take huge offense to this article. They claim that when it comes to AGI, Hinton and Hassabis “know what they are talking about.” Nothing could be further from the truth. These ar…

    Wow I had not actually thought of that. Hosting that service would cost money, unlike releasing keys on pastebin, and any attempt to do something like this, especially if monetized…

    I think we should invent a new language for humanity. Ive tried to design one a little bit. There are tons of ways to describe the sounds that a human mouth can make, and you can f…

    Internet is already fast enough to stream high quality movies. The reason you can only access a comprehensive list of movies thru iTunes or disks is legal, not technological.

    You make it sound like you cracked the disk encryption or lifted keys off your player. Or did you just try out keys you found online?

    Like I said, makemkv (which is indeed the idiomatic tool for the job) will never be a reliable way to rip any bluray . For my purposes, it was very important to be able to rip abso…

    Plus, critiacally, that signal is the result of the player messing around with the data. It might do all kinds of stupid processing. You don’t know what quality of decoder they’ve …
