These discussions remind me to reflect on that abysmal movie called "her". Not abysmal in terms of the acting, but abysmal in terms of the social circumstances portrayed in the film. No one in that world ever stopped to think "wait...is this something real I am "talking to" or doing?" "This is just some AI program not…

I actually liked the fact that Rust gave in and had sex with Maggie. He represses his sexuality but it's there. She told him "be honest" and I guess he was.

I am not arguing from the point of "god of the gaps". I am arguing from the point of reality. One, there is no evidence of intelligence existing outside of biology or these arrangement of carbon atoms as you accurately describe it, and two, it took a very, very long time for proteins to form let alone any form of…

The brain is neither analog or digital. The electrical signals in the brain are driven by glands, secretions, chemicals. Yeah... good luck replicating those in analog or digital form. The issue is not moot. There will be no correlate to the human function. Not anytime soon. Maybe never. Scientists don't even know…

First off kaninjabomb is a random name, because I don't take e-names seriously. Second off, there is a big difference between analog and digital sound, not even just qualitatively, but from an engineering standpoint. Lastly, you're not gonna succeed in digitizing a human brain. At the point in which you convert the…

Vehement agreement. The variables at play in the street and the amount of resources and firepower criminals have at their disposal pretty much guarantees batman is only effective within the confines of comic books. I hope no one ever gets stupid enough to try and be and be a "crime-fighting super-hero".

Just like digital sound is a pale imitation of the raw uncompressed luxuriant analog sound, a digital brain would be even less of a facsimile of a biological brain because everything digital is devoid of biology. If it's devoid of biology how can you even call it a brain? You transhumanists haven't even got your terms…

The term "digital brain" is comical. Just reinforces the fact that "transhumanism" and "transhumanists" are a science fiction fandom gone awry and askew.

The planetary climate has been going through various periods of cooling and warming for eons. The only difference now is that humans have created this industrial global infrastructure and system that depends on things remain relatively the same and stable, climate wise. To have a large shift in climate (warming) that…

Yep definitely a troll.

Fascinating. So this is what they call a "troll" on the internet? One who types up messages of little to no weight or substance. I am amused. You've literally replied to every comment I've made on this so-called "kinja". Commenting to an anonymous person who you don't know and mocking them in an effort to try to get…

Should of let this great pile of trash stay buried. Heroes was terrible from the get go. A blatant knockoff off of concepts and ideas done to death and done way better than it could ever hope to achieve. Even the execution was done to death. And it gave us cringe worthy lines such as "save the cheerleader, save the…

First off I'm not your son. Second off, it doesn't concern you how long I spend on the computer whether it be a long while or a short while. Lastly, your comment is frivolous. Please refrain from paying attention to my posts, unless you have something of weight and/or substance to type to me.

Ahh the internet. It is ironic a tool for information has becoming the biggest space and breeding ground of ignorance and frivolity. Think about your actions for a moment. You signed on to a website, for the sole purpose of telling an anonymous person who you know nothing about, to get an orgasm, because you hold the…

Uh that is why I typed in, "in degrees". No one is exempt. But if it makes you feel better I only own one laptop. (don't have a desktop computer). Also , I am skeptical of any big projects, especially coming from tech companies, whose job is to make more tech. I think this project is a screen for producing more…

Thank you for this internet back and forth. You were surprisingly cordial for someone who doesn't agree with what I've outlined and detailed. But this is not about agreement or disagreement. What "I've" outlined first and foremost are very old ideas stemming from ancient times (it amazes me how humans figured this…

In degrees. An African man with 8 children is nowhere near as complicit as a single western man or woman in a one room flat.

It is ironic that the companies involved in this project are also responsible for the deforestation. They are also responsible for the general degradation of nature with the all the e-waste that comes from their nice shiny tech.

You refuse to read what I type. A nihilist is someone who cares nothing for pain, consciousness, or the lifeforms that experience it. A nihilist turns everything nil, insignificant. I am typing that this matter grind is very significant and that it is heinous the damage that occurs to all consciousness at the cost of…
