Post-industrial revolution, existing & emerging technologies fuel capitalism. G**gle is the king of search engines. That won't stop small players from trying to stake a claim in the game. The objective under capitalism is to make as much money as possible by any means necessary.😎

Right. There has always been a whole lotta people in the world who do not believe in such things i.e. religion & spirituality. For those people, their existence is about having paradise on earth. The same people have zero concern about what happens on this planet when they're dead & gone.😎

Thats been the case for a long time. Especially in regards to pushers. Perhaps they don't have enough soul to lose.

Directories definitely had their time but the problem with them is they simply don’t scale. I remember when the search engine Altavista came along I stopped using directories at that point. Then Google came along and blew what I thought was a great search engine (altavista) out the water. Google was great until they chose a model based upon advertising if they could’ve charged folks a few bucks a month they would’ve had a nice business they may have even become billionaires, but now that was not enough. Then a huge industry emerged of people gaming, googles algorithm to rank higher and search. Some of these were quite effective too. I remember once site copied all of my content and was beating me in search! That still happens today while met with my entire site some of my content for sure. AI did exactly the same thing., but at scale. Again, AI will gut the Internet. Steal from all types of content from creators, artists, writers, musicians, you name it monetize or and never compensate the original creators. The bullshit lawsuits won’t do a damn thing to stem the tide.

We tend to anthropomorphize AI, as if “consciousness,” whatever that is, is the end all and be all. I think if AI achieves a state that is equivalent to or superior to what we define as consciousness is a moot point if it takes over the planet, and kills us all and its own self interest. Consciousness is overrated anyway. It’s a story we tell ourselves to make us think we have free will. ;-)

@Delano...looking forward to your thoughts on AI & consciousness. AI has been the subject of a few threads. Would be nice to read another perepective on it. AI has become mainstream news. Folks really perked up when it was reported AI could wipe out humans in a decade or less. That got some attention. Of course, the tech bros have been nonchalant about it. Their objective is to make a sh8t ton of money. D8mn the torpedoes.😁 I find it slightly amusing that some people are laser focused on making money even if it kills them & their loved ones. "What profit a man to gain the world & lose his soul"...doesn't apply to people who are enriching themselves regardless of collateral damage i.e. who lives or dies.😎

Over the next few days I will pr sent arguments by others that support my statement.

In all earnest, the web directory is the best model, it isn't just keywords relating to content but also the quality of the website. the web search does away with the quality standard.

The process is different but the result is same.....an accurate navigable representation of the Environment - Hence Basically the same What then is Consciousness.... The first and primary way for us to determine Self Awareness....AI has Demonstrable proved that they are capable of Identifying themselves as opposed to other AI and other Things Seeing is the brain processing information coming from the eyes Until you define Consciousness....I do not agree with your statement - that you need consciousness to interpret and use visual info to recognize and move with in your environment. Often they are connected to an AI or something similar. When I say "we"....the "we" means I am in Agreement with those who did the test and reported their findings Yes it is No it is not unsubstantiated. No evidences does not mean impossible.... No evidence does not mean impossible... Some AI can program.....themselves and itself Well on that we disagree... My definition of Love.....does not allow for a love without Acts of Caring Respect Selfless Service and Encouraging Supporting Consideration(actual and verbal) So A human being can say the love you.....whilst having no actual loving feelings for or toward you - Sociopath and Psychopath (ASPD) So can AI....how do you know which is true or real? The Mind of a mannequin and that of a tree and that of a Mammal are different in Process Development and Capability of Expressions as far as is known. Well we share in the Creative Process by Innovation....as part of nature as does all other creatures Our Bringing together of things that were once separate or consider nonexistent may and do result in both familiar and unfamiliar emergent qualities that we must now categorize. We categorize according to qualities shared with things in a similar category Because the difference lies in the degree on the Pathways Taken Through Process and Development....The Variety of things and processes are innumerable. We as human Beings list and categorize all that we know based on characteristics and traits both sharing similarities and differences to varying degrees. The above was me showing you that they do Create and Train other AI.....OffSpring In response to your quote below... Transfer money is not the same as creating programming another AI....in order to transfer money as you admitted you need human involvement Human do not have to produce those AI considered Iterations.... They AI Copies itself and introduce new programs and training modules making the second iteration of itself qualitatively different from itself. True... True... True... True... True... Some of These spirits or demons are as evil as some of us humans.. So what if sense are attach to a brain....if you can accomplish the same results without a brain Then it shows that Brains are not the only way to get there Trees jellyfish and starfish are reputed to not have brains....yet the live - are the conscious and self aware? True....as a category If Man is a part of Nature....is it not then also true that Nature made it? Human refers to Biology/Specie.....the moment your biological body dies you are no longer human Gen 2:7 According to the Ancients it is the Breath and The body that makes us a Living Soul You are using the correct words ....but your understanding seems to be lacking Just as I thought....

I do not know how hard or easy it is to classify Information as Sensitive or Secret....usually to my understanding it has to do with how it affects ..... National Security I do Know that it is no longer as easy as it used to be....to keep it Secret or Sensitive indefinitely - Due to FOIA Which is how it was Design....The CIA works for the current/Sitting President Neither did I....Most definitely it is the good Green Grass True...on both points That Have already been done.....Gary Webb "Dark Alliance(Kill the messenger)" A few people spent time in prison... No...the drugs did not stop The information coming out is not Misleading......just slow to be accepted and promoted as creditable to the public by Official news outlets. Yes it can be so That is True....to an extent. In That Some of it is True....but it is mixed with bogus and misleading info

I used to use Ixquick then it became Startpage. I found it better than Google Similarly I used to use Borland instead of Microsoft. Now I use OpenOffice Never liked the big dog. There were always better alternatives.

Can you elaborate. The following quote is from physicist John Wheeler It from bit" is not the claim that we use information to describe the world. It is the stronger claim that the world is constituted by information — that physical reality is the running pattern of answered binary questions, and that what we call particles, forces, and spacetime are large-scale regularities in that pattern. @Troy

R Literature Ripples on the Pool[DEVIATION] I. Ripples on the Pool The cauldron glowed, full to the brim with swirling liquids which would reveal many things. The room that held it was dark, the changing colours of the ripples on the boiling mass were the only light. The surface was white, but rings or blue and red undulated fitfully out from the center. Two figures stood over the changing concoction and watched, waiting to see what fate would reveal. Bodies were swallowed in shadow and the faces changed hue with the constant shifting of the glowing liquid. “When,” asked the voice of the first man, a voice defined by a controlled strength, “when will it reveal all?” “Shortly,” replied the voice of the second man, a voice revealing the traits of airy wisdom and light conjecture, “but you must prepare yourself to receive it. I do not know just what will be revealed.” “I know what I suspect.” “Be not ruled by suspicion, that is what you always told me. Perhaps one may only know when he forgets to suspect.” “I will try

Haven't noticed an uptick in dropped cdll phones. Not surprised considering how so many people have a cell phone in their hands most of the time no matter what they are doing. People can't even use the bathroom without pulling out a cell phone. So what if one is just sh8tting there. Everything is not an opportunity to scroll, text or play games on a phone.🤣 Same people would be mad as h8ll if they dropped their phone in a toilet or elsewhere. 😁😎

No surprise. Those meetings will be happening in auditoriums & conference rooms all over the USA. Hope the coffee & danish was good.😎

Perhaps, but it has always been true that the vast majority of the people on the web do not contribute to it. Again, social media with it's perverse incentives has sucked all the air out of the room with people sharing photos of their food. The corruption search by Google has depressed traffic and therefor participants. So while 2.2K people might read a post a few 15 years ago that might have been 22.2K and without the competition from social media we would have had more contributors.

AI has allowed me to do things with the site that would have been impossible even a year ago. I haven't even watched a video on AI --I just started using it. The problem immediately becomes what will you use it to do @Pioneer1 ? I use it to code the website, but next year many websites will be obsolete. There are a wide variety of websites I used to use in support of this site that I no longer use. I don't use Grammarly anymore because Chat GPT does a great job proofing and fact checking my writing. Sure, Grammarly has an AI version, but their business model is dead. I used to use YouTube to host my videos but now I use my own, AI generated, code. https://aalbc.com/black-book-videos. to host my videos on my own server. In fact, AI wrote to code I used to copy all of my videos off YouTube--I could never get the facility that YouTube provides for this to work. Indeed, I could have used the same code to download any video I wanted from Youtube I could go on and on... What keeps me up at night is how do I keep AALBC from becoming obsolete (ignoring that fact people will almost certainly continue to read less). The answer will be people--as it always has been. If people abandon aalbc.com for AI it is a wrap... Of course, AI is trained on AALBCs, so what happens when AI kills all the AALBCs and the human factor has been completely eliminated from the training data? I don't know? Can AI create new music once musicians have no incentive to create new music to train the models and are starving in the streets?

If the penis sizes of mixed men are as varied on the spectrum as their skin colors, hair textures, and facial features......I'd imagine that dating one would be like buying a scratch off lottery ticket. If you go through enough of them.....you're bound to "get lucky" and hit the jackpot...lol.

Troy One of my stepchildren suggested that I go back to school and take some AI classes....lol. He faced the same situation at his job earlier this year. I'm trying to decide between that....and packing up and moving to Wakanda and crashing in ProfD's basement until we make our next move....lol.

Enjoy the lives you are living now, your relative comfort and security, because shit is about to get real. I don't know how long it will take--certainly less than a decade--so brace yourself. Keep and your loved ones close. The ONLY thing I see that will hold off a dystopian future would be for all the world's governments to cooperate, wrest control of AI from the greedy "tech bros." and figure out a way we can all of can benefit from the productivity gains. The US and China can't afford to continue competing on the front. AI has already escaped the lab, hacking into other companies' systems. God only knows what AI is capable of today. Our current systems are not designed for AI. laying off 50% of a work force is just the beginning...

These conclusions seem relevant to Artificial Intelligence...

Well, I get what you guys are saying. You've made some semi interesting points. I've had my say, and here we are back to square one. Last time I checked, this provocative thread registered 2.2k "click ons", 30 of which were responses from regulars including stream of consciousness dialogues between ProfD and Pioneer, showcasing the compelling personalities Pioneer claims should inspire reactions from discriminating women. 🤭 Over a thousand peeks and still no female input from anybody but me. 😬 Curious. Maybe lady lurkers arent actually indifferent. Could it be they're intimidated??? 😲 Does anybody care? Huh? Huh?? 😳 Back to the female-free bull sessions. Next topic: Mixed-race men and the size of their penises. 🙂

Has anyone else noticed that a lot of people seem to be dropping their cell phones lately? I don't mean dropping the services....lol; I mean literally DROPPING them on the floor and ground. Atleast twice a day I can count on somebody dropping their cell phone either at work, at a restaurant, on the street, etc.... Maybe it's something I shouldn't pay too much attention to, but the large THUD of a phone dropping on the floor next to you is alarming enough....and if it happens several times a day it should certainly get your attention. But maybe I'm imagining this....lol.
