Not having any issues understanding you, and you keep refusing to acknowledge my points.

Let's say we create a general AI. Let's say it's gone full skynet, and we've given it a billion years in the universe to grow, learn, expand, etc.

It will still end at the heat death of the universe right? It will still have to navigate within the forces of nature right?

Doesn't sound very God like. If the moment general AI dropped, gravity changed, the wave particle duality collapsed, etc, then I'd be a believer. But general AI is merely mirroring our own brains, but with the distinct advantage of having their brain be modular and scalable.

That makes sense if you assume we can make "God" (and such a thing is even feasible).

How in any way is a general AI an omnipresent all powerful force of the universe? A single mild solar flare would wipe it out. A blackhole would end it. Poorly configured DNS would end it. Etc. Unless this is some real weak sauce God in which case just call me God

What the fuck are you on about?

"if we can create God then God already exists" makes zero sense, and I believe most religious folk would say God needs to do more than know what humans are doing. That's santa. God supposedly created the entire universe which feels a little beyond the reach of GPT.

Not exactly 50 digits though...

Genuinely confused by your first statement (in particular effective altruism). What does that have to do with the board?

Not an attack, just actually clueless.

This is probably the best example I've seen of "let them think you're an idiot, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt".

I mean, I haven't actually looked it up, but presumably "news" is information brought to you by a reputable source, so you have some confidence in its accuracy.

The concerning part for me is there's no way tik tok is regulated, or held to any kind of standard. I'm not sure if sources are regularly cited, or confirmed. It feels like gen z / alpha just taking everything at face value, even blatant propaganda, and assuming it as truth because "nobody would just go on the internet and lie"

Clearly you don't understand Usenet, it's open, you can start your own provider and indexer if you like. Nothing stopping you.

I'd rather not, so I pay to support those who do a good job of it.

Even so you still have to seed, meet lame ratio rules, hope that old torrents are still seeded etc.

Torrents certainly still have their place, but Usenet is just generally superior in all aspects, and for a few dollars a month the service it provides is unparalleled.

Faster, encrypted, no need to seed. Yep, sure is terrible.

Proxmox 8!

I truly have neglected my homelab. Think I'm running 5... 😬
