In my previous comment I said that thinking Russia does evil things just because it is evil for no real reason is ridiculous and he just proved my point by doubling down on it and making it seem even more silly.

In any case, I can’t help but wonder how a sane adult individual can actually believe that. This is not lord of the rings, and Russia is not Mordor.

This person(and you, presumably) says that a civilian aircraft, belonging to a nation that Russia wants to keep in it’s sphere of influence and has no reason to offend was shot down on purpose, despite the fact that any such case is a cause for suspicion and apprehension just because they are evil, basically.

That is what they meant, I’m pretty sure, that there is no point trying to understand what Russia does, it just does stuff because they are evil, so every fact should be interpreted in a way that makes them the most evil.

In any case, why shouldn’t their motives make sense to anyone else? They are not aliens, are they?

What do you mean “they don’t need a reason”? Are you insane?

It was a matter of time until the public found out about this. They couldn’t think in the long term, by not accepting a bit of backlash, exposing the scam they unknowingly participated in they only opened themselves up for more later.

They are not only evil, they are stupid too, which is worse.

“Experiment” is a tool of the modern science. The usage of this word in this context is not appropriate.

There is no evidence. There either is a source which mentions this or there isn’t one. I have not seen, nor found such a source. The story is most likely made up by some modern idiot.

This story is also beyond ridiculous. I wonder how many human fetuses an average ancient greek has seen, but surely, it can’t be that many.

He really did hate beans, but the “spawned from the same source” and the “experiment” seem like bs.

The two rhetorical questions in your first paragraph assume the universe is discrete and finite, and I am not sure why. But also, that has nothing to do with what we are talking about. You think that if you show the computers and brains work the same way(they don’t), or in a similar way(maybe) I will have to accept an AI can do everything a human can, but that is not true at all.

Treating an AI like a subject capable of receiving information is inaccurate, but I will still assume it is identical to a human in that regard for the sake of argument.

It would still be nothing like a college student grappling with abstract concepts. It would be like giving you university textbooks on quantum mechanics written in chinese, and making you study them(it would be even more accurate if you didn’t know any language at all). You would be able to notice patterns in the ways the words are placed relative to each other, and also use this information(theoretically) to make a combination of characters that resembles the texts you have, but you wouldn’t be able to understand what they reference. Even if you had a dictionary you wouldn’t be, because you wouldn’t be able to understand the definitions. Words don’t magically have their meanings stored inside, they are jnterpreted in our heads, but an AI can’t do that, the word means nothing to it.

If the only thing you feed an AI is words, then how would it possibly understand what these words mean if it does not have access to the things the words are referring to?

If it does not know the meaning of words, then what can it do but find patterns in the ways they are used?

This is a shitpost.

We are special, I am in any case.

First of all, you might as well one would be helping Harris by not voting for Trump lmao. Why would not voting for either help one of them?

Also, while I would have her win if I had to choose between the two, I don’t like her at all and wouldn’t bother voting if I lived in the USA. The impact of a single vote is so small, even in a swing state, and the chances of one’s vote being the decisive one as well, that I really wouldn’t place much importance on whether I vote.

Of course upholding a system of social incentives for voting by shaming those that don’t vote for your favourite candidate might make sense, I think it also promotes a very toxic political climate.

They wouldn’t be able to get it out otherwise.

The superiority of german aryan ports proven once again.

(this is a joke, nazism is evil and I hate it)
