The quote at the bottom of your reply "Sure I can be civil ,right after I destroy you" maybe the same logic AI applies to us some day. that's the point.


A can agree with that possibility......
I borrowed that phrase from a current political leader, interpreting it in a manner that blind partisans might grasp it, however doubtful.....

Self promotion never ends well, as by its very nature, you script it from a foundation, that won't, can't, sustain it, itself.......
The only unknown is when, it will crumble upon itself  Undecided  

Look at our society presently.
We have been on a path of so called awareness, and tolerance, of what....?
We call it enlightenment, and assign to it a HIGHER worth, wisdom, knowledge, which then allows us to set the course, agenda, because those of lessor intelligence lack the capacity....
In other words, we validate ourselves, our actions, to a greater cause.

However, its based upon a lie, of disingenuous ambitions.
Remember Huey Lewis, he had a hit song, which I believe examples mankind today, perfectly.....
The song was called: I want a new drug.
I ask, WHY do we need a new drug?
While don't we find out what ills us, and repair that, instead?

Do you seem my point?  

So, the question, or riddle, to AI is this: How does the "soul" of a person, factor in?  Shocked

Do we need to answer first the question, are each one of us "unique"?

You wanna start there?  Smiley

Huh....????

Is this a meeting of a bunch of rotund chicks, with fat thighs?

If yes, you might pose the question in the Tall Table.....
Lots of blubber lovers appear to populate that board.

I figured a witchdoctor who had no cellphone would be comfortable at a meeting of Luddites, NOT Lardites, in the land of Voodoo.

LOL.. I wont be attending any Luddite meetings. I don't have any problem with technological progress. I just refuse to knowingly and willfully let google or any company track my every move and add to the giant profile of information they have on almost every person on earth.
Phones have really f'ed people up socially and smart phones rewire your brain.

You know what..... I can't find much to argue with on your basic premise....
Without getting this thread booted one level down, why does every issue have to be whittled down to a absolute, instead of shades of gray?

I will use guns as a example, they are blamed for something they lack the ability to do, unless a crazy person uses it as such.

Technology with phones have saved lives too, etc, a good thing.

Have you seen this thread I started?

If I actually needed a cellphone, I'd have one. I agree with the
Don't wanna cowbell around my neck
But that's not the whole reason for not having one.
I call myself a luddite because I don't understand how to use the blasted things. I totally appreciate what they can do. Unless I'm holding it.

Ive had a cellphone for a job.. required me to use it daily.

As for absolutes.. peoples minds are very polarized lol. Like robots. Even gray areas can be broken down into yes/no with some analysis.

Well, around here they call me "Dinosaur Dan". I drive a 1996 Toyota standard shift pickup (250K miles, runs like a top), no cell phone or smart phone, don't do Facebook, text or tweet of whatever, still use an E6B for flight planning. I still have a landline I use for calls. My trail bike is a 1986 Honda CT110. Oh, and I just picked up my "Go To" gun - a Uberti replica 1858 Remington revolving rifle, since Washington seems to be on the verge of outlawing modern firearms (IMO). Sometimes, I think the old ways are the best.

Happy Dan.......
What will you do when the law requires all citizens to be implanted with a chip to assure identity?
Folks might think “no way” but think for one moment how such a move could “fix” so many of our “concerns”
No voter fraud, not here illegally, no need to carry money, so no need to rob someone.
Your medical records available to any healthcare provider with a simple scan.
Like a phone, you can not get “lost”
Oh, the “good” reason list is as long as our need to be taken care of.
It’s a easy sell.....watch.

Raydawg , An implanted chip, REALLY ?  Have you been reading George Orwell's  1984 again?  ...That would be an invasion of privacy most would not begin to endure.
