The judge also told the administration to reinstate Education Department employees who lost their jobs during the reduction-in-force announced on March 11 and “to restore the Department to the status quo.”

Or what? Seriously. He’s not going to do it, nothing will change, he won’t have any consequences, and he will continue penetrating America’s proverbial asshole with a hot curling iron.

*if you are rich

Agreed.

Compute!

I don’t know why you are being rude.

A system in an organic medium, versus a system in a digital medium are completely different and your logic doesn’t apply to each one as if the word “system” allows you apply logic to both mediums. It’s like saying weather can happen inside my Nintendo, because they are both systems.

Saying that there’s an ability to create a being of understanding in a digital system is the same as saying we have the ability to travel faster than light through bending spacetime using a wormhole. Can you do it? Maybe, but current science says that there’s no evidence of the ability outside of thought exercises. Right now, it’s science fiction and there’s no current way of even testing the fact that it can exist.

How would you define AGI then? If the definition is just “intelligence” then I would say we are already there. I think the concept is infinitely complex and our human understanding may never totally get there. Again, I could be wrong. Technology changes. People said man could never fly too.

It’s organic matter that is created. It’s not AGI? This isn’t Black Mirror, you can’t duplicate consciousness from organic matter to a digital medium. We don’t even know what consciousness is. I understand that before the airplane, people thought that manned flight was impossible. How can we create consciousness when we don’t even know what the goal is? If the understanding of consciousness changes and the technology to create a digital rendition of it comes about, then clearly my position will change. I guess I just lack the foresight to see that understanding and technology ever coming to fruition.

Organic matter that can’t be replicated

I am not sure I believe in AGI. Like it will never exist, because it can’t. I could be wrong. Hell, I’m often wrong, I just don’t think a machine will ever be anything but a machine.

Bruce Springsteen is famously a nice guy. To be intimated by him would mean you would have to be wildly insecure.

I play adult league hockey and have been playing for 30 something years. I see guys like this all the time. Threats that never amount to anything. The truth is this: If you were going to actually do something, you wouldn’t be talking about it, you would have done it already.

He won’t do shit, because if he fucks with The Boss, he knows it’s over.

I feel like an airplane is the safest place to watch a tornado from. You can just fly away from it. However, I’m no Chuck Lindbergh.

Imagine being such a fucking baby that Bruce Springsteen intimidates you.

My colleague is similar and it’s stupid because you can look anything up on the internet. Also, I don’t like him any more or less for being right or wrong, but I do like him less for arguing about everything all the time.

My number 1 red flag is they have relationships that don’t last. I remember I had a girlfriend in college who didn’t have any girl friends, just guy friends and even they weren’t around long. I found out it was because she was an attention seeking narcissistic cuckoo.

Also, my Uncle is a chronic liar. He is VERY entertaining, but a liar none-the-less. He will move from group to group until somone finds out he’s full of shit. From a social club, to adult sports, a biker gang, camping club, and the list goes on and on.

My number 2 red flag is that they can’t be corrected or are never wrong. They are willing to argue ludicrous points just to feel right and relevant. They also pick the dumbest things to argue over when all they have to do is answer something like, “That’s crazy.” Normal people eventually admit fault and learn. Narcissists will never learn.

I love this truck. I want one. It’s just that it’s a VC pump and dump.

You can get them, but I kind of like the idea of just a Bluetooth third-party speaker

This is my collection of loitering sticks.
