Good point. There is a theory somewhere that loosely states one cannot understand the nature of one’s own intelligence. Iirc it’s a philosophical extension of group/set theory, but it’s been a long time since I looked into any of that so the details are a bit fuzzy. I should look into that again.

At least with computers we can mathematically prove their limits and state with high confidence that any intelligence they have is mimicry at best. Look into turing completeness and it’s implications for more detailed answers. Computational limits are still limits.

I think we should still do it, we probably will never understand unless we do it, but we have to accept the possibility that if these synths are indeed sentient then they also deserve the basic rights of intelligent living beings.

That raises a lot of ethical concerns. It is not possible to prove or disprove that these synthetic homunculi controllers are sentient and intelligent beings.

Is he Naruto running or offering a hug?

No, Google is all AI disinformation now, better just go directly to the website itself.

Linux keeps winning by doing nothing.

7.7 billion divided by 160,000 is average ~480,000 of loan money per person. So they bailed out a large chunk of rich kids going to expensive private schools. Cool.

People hated them, because they told the truth.

True. There seems to be a large portion of the Lemmy user base that are either new to discussions, or have an extremely limited and narrow experience interacting online and expect everything to be like what they’ve seen before.

What defines too many questions? How many questions should we allocate each user? Even if everyone has access to a single question, I’m sorry to tell you that’s still hundreds of thousands of questions you would see.

People asking for answers instead of doing their own personal research is older than civilization iself. Asking someone that already knows the answer before doing your own research is a fundamental and basic effort to reward evaluation that humans learn at an extremely young age.

I didn’t read this, but did you guys know that Zerglings from the game StarCraft: Brood War have a unique upgrade called Adrenal Glands. After applying the upgrade they are colloquially referred to as “Cracklings” because they attack so quickly. This upgrade, only available after evolving a Hive, makes Zerglings extremely effective in the late game, and allows them to swarm enemy units and bases much more effectively. Despite their small size and low health, with this upgrade, Zerglings can become a critical component of the Zerg army, showcasing the game’s strategic depth and the importance of upgrades.

Pics, stories, or it didn’t happen.

Nah, just swap it out for a Boeing.

Sounds like you already have a solid plan.

If you have any old laptops or desktops you could convert those instead of using a Pi, but the Pi will work wonders as long as it’s not going to be a 4K TV. Your only real concern here is making sure whatever device you use is able to output video at the TV’s resolution and display hertz.

You’ll probably have more difficulty finding a TV that isn’t a smart TV, than finding a home theater device that is capable of streaming nowadays.

You want to release quotes to the world, but disallow others from sharing them?

I especially enjoy generalization fallacies. They’re one of the good ones.

I too believe in false comparisons and slippery slope arguments.

Windfalls like this cannot be taking lightly and need to be approached strategically. It depends heavily on tax laws and employee finances overall.

Some common got rich quick concerns off the top of my head: Could accidentally knock people into a higher tax bracket and ruin their finances long term for short term gain. Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term. Could make someone in a low income area a target before they have a chance to move out. Could accidentally get double taxed by doing the payout incorrectly because they’re not practiced with handling this much money. Could overinvest it all back into the company and burn too brightly negating all their success. Doing nothing and simply using it as cash reserves is better than making a foolish mistake and ruining it for themselves.

Yes. It’s basically required. Weed helps too, though many experts claim that you don’t need to smoke it and simply touching grass will suffice but idk man. Better to play it safe and just take rips between sips.
