I feel both attacked and seen at the same time.
Funny how all the aliens stopped visiting once we had satellites and shit that would see them visiting.
innit?
You might want to raise the bar a bit on that one.

There's a difference between human intelligence and AI, so far. AI tends to homogenize outputs, even when it's teaching inputs are diverse. An example from Sabine...
... but what's his criticism of the other side?
I don't follow football, so I don't know who Taylor Swift is, but he sounds fast.

Agnosticism vs. Athiesm
There's a difference between, "I'm not convinced you're right," and "You're wrong."
A big difference, IMO.
I guess both agnostics and athiests can drift into the latter,...
Just remember to avert your eyes. The Sun-God takes offense at being directly looked upon.
Except during sunrise and sunset when they put on a good show.
All hail the great source of low-entropy...
Science is an act of faith because believing what has happened is a predictor of what will happen is nonsense.
Believing that the laws of physics are immutable in space and time is an act of faith....
I'd like to think that if cocco actually lined up 10,000 deities in front of me that I'd believe in all 10,000 deities lined up in front of me.
Also, the number of questions I'd have for cocco...
One of my friends in high school was adamant that he was a Christian, even though I never once saw him pick up a Bible. He attended no regular sermons, or even irregular sermons. He was a...
Contemporary agnosticism, you mean.
The original meaning of the word was "whether or not there is a God cannot be proven or known."
Just as much an act of faith to assert something cannot be...
BG3 is absolutely amazing. I've completed it twice and was halfway through a Dark Urge run when my vacation started.
I'm looking forward to getting back into it.
There's so much that changes...
SMH. Poor thing.
It's pretty rough for her, what with being not an American and all, and now this embarrassing thing about the (altogether wholesome) way she loves herself.
Cancelled.

According to some mathematician on YouTube, in the original game of chess, the rules said you have to roll dice to determine which piece you're allowed to move.
Also, it's hard to tell which came...
Thanks, Jack.
We already had a big vacation lined up for this month to Vegas and Hawaii to see her family. The new job wanted to start her this week, but due to the fact that we'll be gone for 4...
True.
I'm only making the point that there are ways we would be able to identify a large, space-faring civilization that is harnessing the energy from host star systems enough that they need to...
I haven't seen it.
If there was something harnessing energy at Proxima Centauri on the scales to prepare for an inter-stellar journey,
And if they are expecting to do so on roughly human time scales (a couple...
I mean economics in the absolutely most general sense.
There is a cost to inter-stellar travel. There is a benefit to inter-stellar travel.
There is a cost/benefit analysis to be done based...
Sure, but there are examples of people who *were* respectable until they made a public statement about their concerns about AI becoming self-aware.
So the statement about who is respectable in...
The thing is this:
Traveling between stars takes a fucking long time. Even with higher accelerations than a human could withstand, it takes a lot of energy to get going really fast. Even tiny...
The evidence doesn't look good so far.
Harnessing energy and using it to do stuff still follows the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
Even a perfect Dyson swarm, collecting 100% of its star's light...
I could only sit through 10 minutes of that.
Dude is like, "I know nothing about how any of this works, but I'mma read a press release and react, anyway."
IDK if he's actually knowledgeable about...
