A man should only carry 3 things, a bawsack as heavy as his wallet, a guilty conscience and an honest woman. @"Hanover"

A man would face much more scrutiny carrying a man bag of course for what could a man be storing there? Extra strength undiluted alcohol for a cheap n...

Send it to universness too, even a pisshead occasionally needs inspiration on what topics to discuss with his blow up doll.
April 29, 2023 at 11:39
Not too many pints now, your future AGI lover would really disapprove now wouldn’t she? Eh, little bit of responsibility there for you today
April 29, 2023 at 11:29
Better than getting pissed with a blowup doll. If your level of discourse is the same as on this forum even the blow up doll will get bored and deflat...

Don’t forget the blow up doll, lipstick can be optional.

You’re 50% correct I’m afraid Eugen, don’t be fooled by this guy. He only cares about future robots the appearance of intelligence from him is a trick...

April 29, 2023 at 11:15

Whatever you say universe ness monster, whatever you say, now focus on the topic at hand, maybe do a bit of wiki research and come up with something h...

Whatever, run along now.

I was giving eugen a heads up of your AI fetishising tendencies don’t take it to heart.

if space is removed from time then the notion of space loses meaning I’d say. Also because space is occupied by matter it leads to transformation of s...

If he says your questions don’t make sense that’s most likely because his understanding is limited on the subject so focus on forum users who offer mo...

Trying to dissect consciousness is like trying to cut a river with a knife. I’d say on appearance it seems emergent and a way for the organism to navi...
April 29, 2023 at 02:43
Agree with the idea that it’s not time that is being experienced but change, although the two concepts of time and change are inseparable. We cannot e...

Without state intervention the stateless nature of corporations means the state gets no revenue through taxation of such entities as they could easily...

The definition of it leaves clear in my mind for the need of avoiding monopolistic tendencies of pretty much every corporation who going unchecked wou...

Epic background …certainly beats my walls :lol:

I do occasionally like to wear wigs too, this was couple of years back…a striking resemblance to Robert Plant I’d say…anyone agree @"Hanover" @"Jamal"...

Strangely enough that was the first novel I ever read I was around 14 and even more strange is that Don Quixote was the first novel ever written in th...
April 28, 2023 at 10:08
Such constructs like time and space are abstractions made real. The only limit that could be placed on it would be its origin just like if you had to ...
April 28, 2023 at 10:05
Not played Go myself but I’m decent chess player so I could see how such computational power would give it an almost god-like ability in confounding t...

If Neitzsche was an anglophone I reckon he’d have called his Eternal Recurrence same shit different day. Happy Friday though :rofl:

It would be more like realising that you’d never see the acorn turn into a tree kinda thing! And that tree producing more acorns that turn into trees....

He could see the progression of his project (life) at a glance and I assume past, present future all at once too. Or perhaps he would be himself limit...

I’d like to add further that his creatures being granted free will means that they will err from time to time, not necessarily a bad thing as mistakes...

The mode of operation of such an entity would be impervious to our discernment although I’d think such initial conditions would make the emergence of ...

These chatGPT programs are somehow wired to make meaningful statements readable and understandable by humans which by itself is no small achievement a...

What I struggle with in terms of modern philosophy is when it get’s technical and employs technical terms such as the ones you’ve mentioned, analytic,...

I will be setting up a PayPal account soon and use two factor authentication as @"Jamal" suggested @"javi2541997" no more excuses :lol:
April 25, 2023 at 18:56
Unsure about how to protect such an account after setting it up, my only concern with PayPal
April 25, 2023 at 14:47
In as far as I can see it apart from the use of quotation marks and the change of is to means, which is insignificant, the meaning does not change, th...
