If God was real the boxes would all fit in a nice grid for any square container. But the OP already has the conclusion for that one.

True. You can’t have joy without suffering, light without dark, cars without an extended warranty.
- Comment on Efficency 5 days ago:
It’s like that because the universe wants us to suffer.
- Comment on Automation 1 week ago:
Yeah for real.
Smart TVs, Subscription services, etc.
It’s all just capitalism doing its thing, everyone racing to sell sell sell.

Maybe it is human-like intelligence. It’s dumb as shit, but have you met people?
LMAO
But yeah, I guess at its core, human intelligence and machine intelligence are both just pattern recognition, but I guess my point is that calling it “AI” gives people this false sense that it is something it is not. AI has been a thing in Sci-fi for so long that we all think of Data from Star Trek or C-3PO from Star Wars and similar. When in reality it is more akin to a robot arm in a factory doing the same task really fast and really precisely, but it isn’t some adaptable all-purpose thing yet.

I really hate that we are calling this wave of technology “AI”, because it isn’t. It is “Machine Learning” sure, but it is just brute force pattern recognition v2.0.
The desired outcomes you define and then the data you train it on both have a LOT of built-in biases.
It’s a cool technology I guess, but it’s being misused across the board. It is being overused and misused by every company with FOMO. Hoping to get some profit edge on the competition. How about we have AI replace the bullshit CEO and VP positions instead of trying to replace fast food drive through workers and Internet content.
I guess that’s nothing new for humans… One human invents the spear for fishing and the rest use them to hit each other over the head.

My chevrotain has about 10,000 miles on it, which doesn’t sound like much until you realize it’s only 4 inches tall, but it’s reliable and gets me where I want to go, which is home, because I don’t want to be around people.

This is the real discussion piece. We either always have Friday the 13th or we never do again.
I’m with you for always Friday the 13th.
Plus, never having one again just feels wrong.

It’s been a long time since I read it.
The part at the end of time where all that remains is a dying crab on a desolate beach?
I don’t remember the details, but the feelings and emotions that end of time nothingness and death of all things left is still with me… It is sad and lonely and depressing and empty feeling. Same with thinking about the eventual “Heat Death of the Universe”.

And you are going to do what exactly against an F-35 or drone strike with your guns? Please explain how you would stop the US military with any amount of guns.
