Humans come by these abilites naturally
Without sophisticated programming, AI is useless to itself to accomplish any of this.
AI is better than most humans now.
How can that possibly be true when a human at 5-7 months of age can already recognize a cubists rendition of a human face without the slightest degree of training, and AI is stumped without training?
So, fundamentally, a whore - the illegal variety
AI ... never change
I entirely agree
You keep insisting I'm a Repub. Broken record. Fix it
Of course Vlad went home. This is not Trump's deal to make. Never was and never will be. It is not his war. The US stopped sending money to Ukraine when Biden [a truly Homo not erectus] ran out of it, for paying illegals to invade us. Get it?
I said no such bloody thing. Magic is not the power I recognize as divine, and Abe denounced it as heresy. Read the book, boyo. Read them all. You're talking pure shyte.
No, language, particularly written language, did not begone by memorization, but memorialization. Not for merely repetition, but broadcast. And not just re-construct, but original architecture [i.e. lexicon and syntax] because we area, at a beginning, creative and curious.
And the sentient human brain, beginning with Homo sapiens 300,000 years ago, gifted prior to civilized man, already had communication, and necessarily rudimentary culture, and, at best, rudimentary language, even though not yet civilized, because that aspect of human development did not begin until about 4000 BCE [by which time they had achieve language], and we obviously were linguists before then. But, no, you claim language and communication to be synonymous, and they are not. Communication as very generalized, utterly lacking in detail. You claim "sky," but that does not communicate detail at all. What kind of sky? In what season? And expressing what effects? Ug and Og were not sophisticated linguists. Yes, bees "communicate," but it is not language. As for dolphins, more to the point, we're not sure.
Not when singing from the same hymn book for separate motive
Just look at the case for AOC running against Shoofly. His term ends in 4 years [29], and right now, she appears to have momentum while Shoofly can't tie his own without expressing farts [either end].
This is becoming evident even among some, or a few, Demnocrat leaders. Unfortunately, it appears most of these with eyes open are not currently elected officials at any level, but older guys like Oba'a. There is a factor at play here that is undeniable: elected people, particularly in the repetitive environment of Congress, are so consumed with re-election, they ignore what they were elected to accomplish. Their voters are beginning to catch up with that flaw, and I predict those most anxious for re-election and most incapable of doing their elected jobs, will be voted out of those jobs. "You can't keep the people down on the farm [or in the elite boardroom] once they have seen Paris" so is claimed. One definitive thing the Internet has created: eyes on Paris from just about anywhere in the world, and certainly in the U.S.
"Experience" is an activity that is now capable of having, even by remote, to a degree never before possible. "Ben there - done that" is now virtual reality - good enough for the farm and the boardroom.
all stupid people will kill each other.
I'd say by definition, stupid people do not know the difference between smart and stupid, so the killing will cross the border you drew.
Intelligent creators know this, and would not make the claim you claim they make.
I do not believe stupid Creators exist. Intelligent ons do.
I understand your passion. but the ancient Greeks tried an experiment making all crime punishable by death, and nearly destroyed their civilization. I fear some Democrats are thinking the same thing, but woke is dead, and this is just exemplary that it should stay dead.
Pritzker [D-IL Gov] is mental, himself, making what should be voluntary a mandatory mental evaluation of students in IL, and thinking this ought to be pressed nationwide.
Children are very impressionable; the younger, the more. Making mental eval mandatory for all IL students is a complete dismissal of common sense. I say put Pritzker through it, first, and dump him regardless of results. This kind of mandatory testing should defer to parents, but then, it seems more Dems than eve of the opinion that gov't owns children, like many think it owns everything else.
Socialism is a losing argument, period.
By the way, what happened to the Education topic that was in DebartArt? It had more posts than History [but that is gone, as well] I suggest both be reinstated.
when Trump takes the right to vote away from Blacks and Women.
Why should that happen when in 2024, Trump's voting numbers increased in 2024 over both 2020 and 2016 by black and women voters?

Woke is past tense and dead
At best, Oba'a is half-and-half, and racism [systemic] is a myth as there is not one single, current federal, state, or municipal statute expressing racist text, so the accusation is dead wrong. Stop it. That individual racism exists is obvious, as you just demonstrated by mention of it, but individuals are liable for their own accusations and I call on you to demonstrate your accusation as fact [but you must face that the above status of current statutes is definitively fact].
And I couldn't care less the color of Sandwich Guy. He is legitimately charged with assault, even though the sandwich caused no harm. By statute, that matters not, it was the intent that is credible, and chargeable. Read the D.C. statute. I have.
Now tell us about how the January 6th assault on the capital...
Read or listen to the trasncript of Trump's speech. "Go peacefully to the Capitol." And even if anyone of the 800+ people charged with crime at the Capitol, there is not a single conviction for "insurrection" [18 USC §2383], therefore, no insurrection as accused by every woke person on the planet, so lose that non-existent accusation. That crimes we're committed, I acknowledge, but none encouraged by Trump. Lose accusations against him, too. I am not MAGA [I'm an Indie, my friend], so lose that accusation toward me.
I first read the Constitution at age 5 by my father's challenge. I read it now, fully, at least every month for the past 30 years, and have, in my varied career, professionally sworn allegiance to it by oath. Unlike many who do that, I actually read what I have sworn to uphold, and do to this dray. I will pit my understanding of the Document against anybody, thanks.
i have soundly argued before that the egg comes before the chicken
But, there is no egg before a chicken. And, a chicken egg is capable of being laid and hatched without being fertilized. The process is called parthenogensis [also called, coincidentally, 'virgin birth"] i.e. a chicken embryo can develop from an ovum without being fertilized by a rooster. It will always be a female chick, and, as a mature chicken, can have eggs fertilized by a rooster. This is true of seversl animals, particularly those whose species are otherwise endangered to live without reasonable access to males of the species, but it cannot happen to mammals. Therefore, the idea of Mary's "virgin birth" is impossible, since no mammal is capable to reproduce by parthenogenesis. Mary was impregnated by fertilization of her ovum, period.
Nonsense. Not the 2nd coming of Christ, and not the President of Russia in 2008, or since.
There were two presidents of Russoa in 2008. As 2008 began, Vlad Putin was the existing president, succeeded by Dmitry Medvedev until 2012, followed by Putin, again to present. No Grabovoi. Jesus never used magic and will not on his return.
AI detects pattern. Its a pattern learning program
That is only partially true as AI still depends on specific programming to understand when a presented pattern, such as a human face, has altered features of eyes, ears, nose and mouth that are out of proportion in size to the pattern learned, or out of learned pattern location of features such as presented in a cubist painting by Picasso. AI is entirely dependent on its training to even recognize a cubist-painted face as a human face, where as a human, even uneducated in cubism, has the ability to recognize the aberrant cubist pattern as a human face, and merely judges the artist as incapable of painting a proper face in the pattern the observer is used to seeing and recognizing on a daily basis. This is even true of an infant as young as 5-7 months pf age which has not been taught, and is incapable of being taught, will still recognize the cubist face as a human face. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2738585/ This demonstrates that features of a face, regardless of relative proportion or location, are still human infant-capable of recognition, where as untaught AI cannot do it.
Just another example of media getting it wrong, again/still. Media, today [and for the past 50 years] have utterly lost the formula. They were given a challenge in the 1A as the only private industry ever given mention in the Constitution, and the point of that challenge went to and swelled their heads, and they've been over-swollen ever since. Credibility is supposed to be a watchword, but that has been ignored on favor of scoop. And all they produce is poop as a result.
How come God doesn't talk to anyone from a burning bush anymore?
Who says he does not? When John wrote "Revelation" way back when, and said that nothing was to be added nor subtracted from the book [Revelation 22: 18] or that man would suffer plagues, most today believe he was referring to the entire Bible, thus sealing it from further revelation from God, but also ignoring that John's "revelation" stood alone as a single manuscript for the next 300 - 400 years before the Canon was organized by a bunch of guys [the Council of Nicaea] who also ordered the books as they did, OT and NT, and decided "Revelation" ought to be last, lamely because of that single statement by John [allegedly]. But all who believe that have, themselves, denied God further voice, and by what authority do they think they can tell God to shut it? None.
Sandwich guy didn't assault a police officer, he expressed himself, he got 8 years for exercising his 1st amendment right to free speech.
"free speech" isn't what you think it is. It is not carte blanche without consequence. We certainly have the right to say anything that is not the direct cause of another's harm, and, beneath that, anything goes, even if another takes offense by it. The problem with sandwich guy is that while he ignores that taking offense can include censure, although that is not very civilized, throwing the sandwich, and making contact with his target, does fall under the legal definition of assault and battery, and is a felony charge in D.C., whether or not the contact caused harm by intent. What, you think assault and battery is a little girl's downturned Morton's salt jar and a 9-volt?
I understand the sentiment, and it has its fans. I'm not one of them. I don't mind the cheese kurds, nor a good-flavored gravy, but I'd rather have the gravy on the side than served with it already applied, because I'd like the option to eat the fry sans dipping if I choose, even in my own fry sauce. And I absolutely detest the use of ketchup on anything. Disgustingly boring. Not a fan of bright yellow mustard, either, even called "French's" - which it definitively it is not. Dijon, preferably brown whole-seed.
Spend 50 years, as I have, in the deep study of Egyptian grammar, including that what may appear to you as abstract, such as the glyph representing "in," only to discover that it is an accurate representation of the flat rib of an oryx, only to be stymied trying to discover what the hell a rib has to do with being in or out [it's a simple discovery, in point of fact], and come back, then we'll talk.
Hymn book? Why is religion used as a decoy? Fifty people with differing opinions, but with open minds can still find ways to agree, or do you think, like Dr. Franklin, that as soon as "religion" is mentioned, even as a cultural joke, all tune-in, turn-on, and drop out? It's easy to malign religion, and religious people as ignorable heretics as if even considering the possibility of a higher power than ours is not only possible, but probable, as ontological argument insists. The strength of civilization allows its place in the marketplace of ideas.
Explain your "logic," and what is "fantasy."
Explain your "logic," and what is "fantasy."
And you are missing my point. Neither ancient Egyptians nor Aztecs could be described as "primitive humans and 'mass primitive kingdoms'" as you stipulate in your post #16. That is not fact as you claim.
My personal belief is that human language is a product of culture relative to the chicken/egg question. The chicken is culture, a product of even rudimentary civilization.
