Requesting “Random Thoughts” Thread

Leaning is the person you want.

@SergeantLynch

Yes, but then I might have notification after notification of people posting to the thread.

Besides, the random thread on DART is my main reason for glancing at DART now and then.

@Skipper

Did this post notify you of it's posting?

Random thughts appear on virtually every thread subject, so I don't know that it needs its own subject. Besides, there is a "Personal" thread already, and I use that one, sometimes, unless my original posts have a more dedicated theme.

Yep, I get notifications and visit Dart occasionally. 49 pages of random thinking, so best try and make it 50.

Actually the new thread might as well start here and we can attribute it to Skipper.

So I randomly think that this should be the new random thoughts thread...Thanks Skip.

I see Dart as an abandoned mothership floating in outer-space emitting ghostly bangs and creaks. I think that Shila still hangs out there and I've also spotted traces of Barney.

Could become a refuge for anyone that gets banned from this Craft.

Is there a way to keep them there on DART.

I wouldn't know, but Dart is still operational.

So Debby, I'm guessing that you were/are a DebateArt user under another name...Would I be correct.

No, I just like a fresh start. But I was on Debateorg for a shot while before it shutdown.

@Skipper

Did this post notify you of it's posting?

no, I didn’t get a notif for that post.

Only if you tag me

Cool.

We are in the middle of summer.

When I met you in the summer

Post the censored thoughts only. We need some retards in the chat

Are you saying white minds lack imagination?

That was so uncensored you might be a genius

You are an expert on squirrels.

My IQ is 145 and I'm in Mensa, so yes.

Unfortunately that is why I had to friend him.

Squirrels have no road sense.

They always live on the opposite side of the road to where they want to be and when a car comes along they cannot decide upon which side of the road they want to be on.

I doubt that squirrels have an IQ of 145, and therefore do not pose a threat of world domination.

Nor dolphins, for they are aquatically limited.

Viruses maybe.

Even AI does not pose a threat of world domination.

The IQ of advanced AI models varies by performance, but leading models are estimated to have IQs between 120 and 135, surpassing the average human score and placing them in the top percentile. While these scores indicate strong performance on tests for general intelligence, it's important to note that IQ tests were designed for human cognition and don't fully capture the complex, data-driven nature of AI, which lacks human understanding, feelings, or consciousness.  

Well it might be foolish to think that AI "does not pose a threat of world domination".

I would suggest that after only a few short years of technological evolution, 120/135 is a reasonable "pose" to be going on with.

Especially when you consider that it has taken organic critters billions of years to get to 145.

Especially, especially when you consider how fucking stupid so many organic critters are...Even the clever ones.

While a science-fiction style "AI world domination" is unlikely, 

AI poses threats through misuse by humans, such as large-scale cyberattacks or weaponization, and the risk of creating destabilizing shifts in global power. Experts express concerns about risks like autonomous weapons and the difficulty of controlling advanced AI if it becomes misaligned with human goals, leading some to call for pauses in development to manage potential dangers. However, AI also offers significant benefits, and efforts in AI governance, ethical development, and international cooperation are crucial for mitigating risks and ensuring responsible use. 

Nah, like a lot of other commentators, you are confusing AI with advanced human technology.

If a technological system cannot function independently and progressively without human input, then it is not yet intelligent.

If a technological system cannot function independently and progressively without human input, then it is not yet intelligent.

Less intelligent. Stiil an expression of intelligence, that is less complex in many ways tho not all ways.

Complex human less complex algorithm....complex human less complex worm.

A salamander has more genetic per cell than a human, yet salamander not more complex than human

That applies to AI as well.

No, AI cannot function completely without human input because it requires human-created algorithms, data for training, and continuous human oversight for ethical and accurate operation

. While some AI can learn autonomously from defined rules, like AlphaZero playing chess against itself, this is a pre-programmed function and doesn't represent true independent thought; it still needs humans to initially set the goal and parameters. Ultimately, human involvement is essential for guiding AI's development, ensuring its data is accurate, and aligning its decisions with human values and intentions.
