She always gave me off vibes. I didn't really understand why she got the recognition she did

Yes, and that has always been the debate

But the short answer is that we don't really have a good grasp at what intelligence is, so it is all semantics in the end

The funny thing is, is that the goalposts on what is/isn't intelligent has always shifted in the AI world

Being good at chess used to be a symbol of high intelligence. Now? Computer software can beat the best chess players in a fraction of the time used to think, 100% of the time, and we call that just an algorithm

This is not how intelligence has always been used. Moreover, we don't even have a full understand of what intelligence is

And as a final note, human brains are also computational "tools". As far as we can tell, there's nothing fundamentally different between a brain and a theoretical Turing machine

And in a way, isn't what we "spit" out also data? Specifically data in the form of nerve output and all the internal processing that accompanies it?

Society really does make it hell to ask for those accomodations, and subconsciously makes you feel ashamed for it. It's exhausting

How many times do I need to repeat something before people get it, and actually believe my words?

The longer I go on the more I understand just how unkind society tends to be towards disabled people

Because as long as you're satiated at a decent calorie level and have a good balance of nutrients, it doesn't matter too much what you eat

Food such as pasta or pizza isn't objectively bad for you. I wonder if people think that because they associate it with being tasty, and think that anything tasty must be bad

I doubt china wants an environmental catastrophe any more than any of us. Though I'm sure they like that the US will severely fall back on science. It will let them dominate a lot easier

Exactly why it'd be a curse

What do you think is on the other side of the screen?

Lmao, they think they're sooooo clever

But hair is still made up of discrete quantity of "stuff"

Well, eventually you get to a point where hairs grow quickly enough that the haircuts effectively stop. I think the sum total of hair material you trend towards at the limit would be the sum of length of hair that grows during the time it takes to do a haircut. Whether it's 1x or 2x of the hair growth amount depends on whether you measure at the start, or end, of the haircut

Honestly might want to consider stopping using the script now. Double hyphens seems more human, at least for the time being

While I get this sentiment, to me it still feels pointless, because it all just seems.. boring?

Because what's the thrill? That you might win money? But then if you intentionally go in with your sentiment, there is no money to be won. The thrill is gone.

Why not just play a video game instead?

But the right overreacts constantly. It's their whole strategy. From slippery slope arguments to saying how the left is going to destroy society

Which is why you gotta use a cold coal. Cold and calculated intent

No it's definitively people who accurately predicted where things are now that have been told to stop overreacting

Think about how the world was 10 years ago. If someone were to accurately predict how today would look, would they have been taken seriously?

Of course not. Just like people aren't being taken seriously today regarding climate change. Just as people aren't being taken seriously today when they say the US is following the path of nazi Germany. How concentration camps will (are) be built, how gas chambers might happen. How genocide against minorities is in progress.

I've been told I'm overreacting multiple times over the years. And you know what the worst thing is? It got worse, faster, than I thought it would. I underreacted.

Things are going to be bad

At least it's organic toxicity

I don't think it's disingenuous. It represents the total share of resource consumption. If something has 2x the biomass, it consumed 2x the materials needed to produce that biomass (purely in terms of the makeup of the body, that is)

I don't think count by itself is very relevant. There's more bacteria in a glass of water than there are humans in a country, but what does that tell you, exactly?

Although I do agree the infographic should be changed to specify biomass

You're going to struggle to get a job most places if you sont know the native language

They didn't. There were plenty of anti-fascists at the time of nazi Germany. And history remembers them fondly

History, however, does not fondly remember everyone else.
