Sure bud. Go tell it to cosmologists and present a different version of events and reality to them, prove your intelligence to them and prove and seek evidence of the Dunning-Kruger effect from them. It’s absolutely amazing that the physics is constant wherever we look which is why cosmologists are able to ascertain…

Brilliant and excellent response and thoughts, they are appreciated. In fact some of the sources you cited I’ve read. The one I most clearly remember is the quote about computers not even possessing memory because to have a memory is also to be able to forget or distort that memory all of which of course is impossible…

Actually if the cosmologists know what they are doing(which I am sure they do), metals do in fact predate all biology by billions of years. For all those billions of years they existed on rocky terrestrial surfaces before life evolved out of a biochemical soup, they have never once become sentient. If I and the…

“What if someone does that one day?”

The arrangement is the key.

Metals predate humans and all biological existence everywhere in the universe and have never been or become sentient. That’s seems to be a precedent for all objects of that sort. So it’s assured that a piece of plastic will never be able to talk or think..

1. “The myth of the flat Earth is the modern misconception that the prevailing cosmological view during the Middle Ages in Europe saw the Earth as flat, instead of spherical”Search and read.

We are a bipedal species evolved and perfectly adapted to the general environment on earth which leads to motion. Most mammals and species on earth are “explorers”. It still makes no sense to go to space.

“Anyway, you may as well say you don’t understand the fascination with travel at all.”

“So is grey matter”.

Every time these articles are posted I see these false comparisons and arguments. The very fact those things you mentioned, happened are because from the earliest stages of mankind, and in some cases before mankind existed the foundations for the solutions to those problems existed.

No. No one ever said this. Humans already migrated from continent to continent by foot from the earliest ages. So your comparison is wrong. Also using an analogy of terrestrial distance to cosmic distance is absurd.

Please explain how “information” or “machine children” whatever that means will be “us”?

Pieces of metal and plastic will never become sentient. A robot is just an overly sophisticated calculator. It’s function will never and can’t be to wonder or think those process are biological. No scientist even wants this. The hype around “AI” is just to create better calculators despite the obfuscating and…

Science isn’t a solution to everything. We are not infants on a cosmic scale because the scale doesn’t even exist. We have nothing to compare ourselves to. The fact that we don’t have anything to compare ourselves to, after the fact that the universe has been existent for 13 billion years is already not a good sign.

Never understood the fascination with space travel. Earth is a perfect homeland for life as we are and know it.

Reading this article, I think he may have had erectile dysfunction. I also think that maybe he wanted to kill himself.

“Simply trying to, “control,” an AI, gives it incentive to act aggressively towards us.”

Read it. And it doesn’t get interesting. Just speculation, hype and the hope that somehow lines of code will invent identity. Which even for humans identity is spurious at best.

Actually there are quite a few old people that have said AI and transhumanism for that matter is nonsense. Also there are many things that people said was impossible, that are still impossible, like the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In fact, I’d be willing to bet a cent more on Jesus Christ coming back than…
