Popular with a lot of animals.
My dog loves his.
Of course we're talking stupid people fashion stuff here.
Like tattoos and cosmetic surgery for example.
Humans are BRILLIANT.

All that evolution requires is a few smart people to the clever stuff.
And a load of stupid people to do the donkey work.
It's the way it goes.
And eventually I suppose, A.I. will have to take charge, supported by a few smart people.
And for as long as they are sustainable and necessary, I suppose there will always be the stupid.

I obviously meant vegan road kill.

Let's take a step back and start at the beginning.
No GOD actually known to exist.
Therefore good and bad not as yet relevant in an existent GOD context.

Everyone has rather a lot in common with Hitler.
And skin tone is a variable factor.
As most people produce melanin.
And doubting implies that you nonetheless have an established idea.

@DavidAZ
You describing an old style Hollywood Sci fi movie.
Why would A.I. be a robot?
And why would advanced A.I. require a human programmer?
I think it more likely that A.I. will eventually re-programme humans.
Humans are already becoming slaves to technology
I don't see this evolutionary trend reverting.

If you consider that before the advent of modern medicine and surgery, the average life expectancy was 25 years.
It was therefore necessary to start early.
And of course, we have overthought basic sexual function and urgency a tad.
And invented corresponding concepts such as morality and perversion.
It's no good worrying about yesterday today though.

Sitting outside the cave all day and saying to hell with hunter gathering.
Why do we bother.

Were we fitted with a survival gene?

Hey.
Sometimes it's just easier to conclude that what one perceives is an accurate representation of an external reality.
Collective experiences and repeated experiences would seem to confirm this.
I too have played chess and moved spoons.
And why would sensory receptors and internal imaging evolve to be inaccurate or deliberately misrepresentative of reality.
We would be implying an unknown, devious external influencer........Which for sure, would excite peoples imagination.
Nonetheless, we still live a human existence where we rely upon converting signals into sensory perception. So accurate or not, perceived reality can only be a simulated experience.

You know that AI imitates the way our brain works.
Systems are being developed for sure.
Just as we developed.
I reiterate....300,000 years compared to 50 or so.
So you and I can remain reasonably confident.
Nice discussing with you.

RFK.
It's all in the name, and some will get excited.
In terms of ideology, perhaps to the right of moderate.
In terms of age, at not quite 70 a mere youngster.
Nothing new and exciting though.
In fact Kennedy, old and boring and conditioned back in the 60's and 70's.
So hardly progressive.
Yawn.

Well, currently we have programmed and therefore controllable machines (that in some respects are already cleverer than us). But nonetheless, not A.I. per se.
Intelligence is intelligence (look it up) and therefore Another Alternative Intelligence would have comparable mental capabilities to that of our own.
Artificial really only refers to non-human or inorganic.
To be honest, I think that you are confusing A.I with advanced but controllable computing.
Are you certain that in terms of process and function A.I. will never be comparable?
As in, electro chemical devices that freely store, utilise, modify and selectively share data.
Isn't creativity simply the process of acquiring, modifying and repurposing data.....From which we have developed emotional behaviour.
Whether or not A.I. will develop emotional responses will obviously depend upon it's evolution and how it chooses to interact with a broader social network.
And of course, if it decides that there is actually necessity in emotion.
Maybe emotion is only a necessity of the organic device, relative to mortality.
There is no way of currently knowing.

@Critical-Tim
Accurate prediction or accurate guess.
No real difference I suppose.
Perhaps awareness and collective agreement is confirmation of a reasonably accurate external reality.
(Assuming that everyone is honest......Hmmmmmmmm?.....I'm not sure that the species possesses a hive mind).
Because I haven't yet got my head around how predicting the future confirms reality per se.
Collectively, we can work towards a shared outcome, but this planning rather than predicting.
And we can guess, based upon ongoing knowledge.
Though:
In the simultaneous and ongoing moment of past/present/future we have awareness.
And therefore we continually experience the future has it occurs.
Which brings me straight back to awareness and collective agreement.
As in, a collective agreement of the simultaneous moment.

@Math_Enthusiast
Nice math.
But strays from the simplicity of the fraction decimal incompatibility in this instance.
Though I liked that some we keen to revert to fractions and convert 10 into 12.
And then try and say, therefore 0.999... = 1.

Well, I think that FLRW accurately summed up subjective reality.
So we all experience a subjective reality.
I think that "whatever that means", refers to the wide scope of subjective possibilities.
Therefore, can anyone pin down reality correctly.

Humans are essentially a self propelled computer.
As I stated 300.000 years of ongoing development.
Give A.I. 300 years to improve and we'll see how things are then.
Well, not you and I personally.

Fucking WANKERS.
Yep that's how it all starts.
Usually before the age of 12.
Biologically primed and ready to go in the womb.
But humans make up rules about this sort of stuff.
Humans like making up rules.
Which are oftentimes incompatible with urgency.

Humans,
Are their own worst enemy.
Well,
They are their only enemy.
If material evolution is necessary.
Then an alternative intelligence,
Is probably necessary.
Because,
As the stakes get higher,
We are only going to fight more.
Competition is overthink inspired stupidity.

Not yet.
Humans have been evolving for 300.000 years approx.
True A.I. hasn't really started to develop yet.
And what does "soul" mean really?
Sort of a metaphysical bias.
Which I expect A.I. will eventually develop.

The conundrum is simple.
And infinite isn't mysterious.
And fractions is what I was brought up with.
But 0.9999.....will still never equal 1
Because you can not divide 1 precisely by 3 decimally.

Yep that's the way we used to do it as kids....Pre decimal.....We called them fractions.
But not the same as dividing 1 by 3 decimally.

Maybe.
Depends upon the outcome of the infinity debate.
If time is infinitely fast, then yes, now is meaningless.
But if time is finite, then theoretically one could pin down now.

@Sidewalker
Nope.
It just doesn't work.
Because you can not divide 1 precisely by 3 decimally.
The equation fails at the first stage.
.3 is 3 tenths
Times 3 = 9 tenths.
9 tenths does not equal 1
Doesn't matter how many 9's.
.999 = 999 thousandths
1 thousandth short of one.

@b9_ntt
Yep.
But in that sense time is just available potential.
But when is your now?
Now has no perceivable duration.
You cannot pin down any moment of an event.
All that you can do is generalise and refer to the whole event as now.
And by the time you've done that, the event is history.
And the beginning of the event was history the moment it started.
Though the moment is only a generalisation because it is immeasurable.
Whereas light has a measurable duration.
Time is immeasurably faster than light.

We create our own rage.
I merely suggested that the orange dog stirred the red hatted ragists.
Because the red hatted ragists were easily stirrable.
Whereas sensible people stayed at home, ignored the orange dog, ate their dinner, watched T.V. and then went to bed.
I'll take a look at John Wick later.

Organised chaos Deb.
Took a bus ride yesterday.
Bus ride = contemplation.
Came to the conclusion that organised chaos is a result of chaotic organisation.
Makes sense don't you think.
Went for a walk yesterday.
Walk = contemplation.
Came to the conclusion that everything else is organised, it's just that humans don't quite know how to handle intelligence in an organised way.
Maybe we are just not suited to the task.
Do you think that we will fail?

The red hat people were stirred to rage by the loss of democracy.
That's what is known as a jaundiced version of events.

Once again.
It's the us and them, red and blue fantasy world.
The time to be concerned is when American society ceases to be democratic.
Now as I recall and not so very long ago, a certain Mr Trump and a lot of his fellow red hat people were quite keen on this option.

Masturbation is necessary.
And so it seems is overthink.
Though I would suggest that overthink is often more harmful than masturbation.
Sexuality will remain a primitive necessity, until such times when we either evolve or are engineered to be asexual.
The latter is more likely.
Though it is reasonable to argue that engineered genetic modifications are indeed evolutionary.

You can convince someone that there life will end or be ended.
And this will raise emotional and moral considerations.
But their lifespan will still only be the duration of their life from conception to death.

GOD is an idea, and we can easily comprehend ideas within the context of language and definition.
It's what is referred to as cognition.
There is no necessity for ideas to be an accurate understanding of actuality.
