The top/first comment goes directly to how awful democrats are? Seriously, truly evil democrats is where these five questions on technology and AI took you?
I think it's more a general fear about the types and groups of people that are right now OVERWHELMINGLY involved in AI research. The ideas of a select few today are going to be enshrined in silicon for the rest of humanity's future. Ideas very popular today (eg critical race theory) are going to be the forever ideas of AI -- except the AI can take it further than any human ever could.
Or, if you agree with the elites in control of Google et al on *their* politics, guess who's also investing very heavily into AI - China, where homosexuality is illegal and they have internment camps for Muslims. What if a Chinese-made AI decides to begin finding and targeting people based on sexuality and using that to adjust social credit scores and access to banking institutions. Even if its human handlers didn't directly intend it that way, it will be trained based on Chinese social media comments, and guided by the hands of the CCP.
Yes, that’s actually the main problem with AI. Whoever controls it can make it tyrannical. Democrats will control it and they are pagan scumbags so I expect it to go poorly.
Amazon’s internal systems already did that. They cut off a man’s entire house from him, fora week because the system (incorrectly) decided he made some racial slur.
I'm impressed that I've owned KevinDurant, one of the most belligerently ignorant people on this board, once again. Although I answered his question, he runs like a coward and refuses to answer mine.
FYI--Kevin is entertaining. Original. Maybe not thoughtful, but thought-provoking. You come across as an annoying troll. Your own little dilapidated bridge is all you own
No. Kevin repeats the same jokes ad naseum. Boring. And an easily owned coward. "Corrupt Biden, Communism, and Democrats are pedophiles." That's it. Oh...and Planned Parenthood offices are actually performing castrations during business hours.
So, let's discuss his recent "throught-provoking" claim. He said the plantation system in the Confederate South was Communism. I say he is wrong.
So... maybe you can answer for him, since you're his fanboy?
1. Were slaves public property? Yes or No?
2. Were slaveowners allowed to make profit, buy/sell their slaves based on a fair price created by the free market without interference from the state? Yes or No?
I own my bridge....and a lot of the people on here. Think you've just been added to the list.
3. Were slave owners allowed to make profit, buy/sell their slaves based on prices set by the free market without interference from the state? Yes or No?
Wow dude, you're quite the piece of work. Just because the gay thing is what floats your boat, don't assume other people share your life choices. I'm here observing. You aren't going to "own" someone with your overinflated ego, trust me. Enjoy you delusions of grandeur. Why would I "defend" Kevin? I don't even know him. I just observe his musings to be entertaining, and yours to be simply peeing in the pool.
What's gay about moving to Vermont and knitting each other sweaters? Where did I mention "gay?"
Oh....I have ZERO doubt you find his musings entertaining. Lol. Just like all of Taylor Swift fans love all her songs. Are you wearing Depends right now, so you don't miss anything?
I prefer to think of it as "peeing in the MAGA gene pool."
This is several threads in the making, where CP challenges with a question, the question is answered, but CP refuses to acknowledge or loses track of the answer, and so demands answers that have already been given. Dementia is a bitch.
Nope. No answers have been given. Maybe I'll aks you.
KevinDurant said the Confederate South slave economy was Communism. I say he is wrong.
So...
1. Were slaves public property? Yes or No?
2. Were slave owners able to make profit, buy/sell slaves based on a price created by the free market without any interference from the state. Yes or No?
He has refused to answer those two questions. Perhaps you can help him?
If that was his statement, then I don't know why he said it. The answers to your questions are obviously No and More or Less. I am not an expert on the Confederate economy. KD has also claimed to have already answered your questions in prior threads. From personal experience, I have also gone down this road with you where you ask a question and I answer it and then you claim I didn't answer your question, so it's difficult to engage with you, particularly because, like many here, you seem to be entrenched in your positions. A couple months ago you and I were debating and I asked a question and you said you didn't care so you didn't answer. It might be nice to have it both ways but most people here are just tired of it.
You don't have to be an expert on the "Confederate Economy" because it was part and parcel the U.S. Free Market capitalist economy/system. You do understand that, don't you?
So, the answer Bruce, is as follows:
1. No
2. Yes
KD is a liar.
You are just as entrenched as anyone else.
Don't remember the question, but I'm sure it probably had something to do with your very sincere concern about "black on black" crime. But feel free to ask again and I will answer.
Yes, people often get sick of those who are not part of their cult. It's annoying.
Why 2026, how about going to2024. There is so much shit around Joe Biden, and yet the media and social media spin him like a man with the soul of God leading an administration of angels which is going to save Ukraine, rebuild NATO and deliver us from all the evils of internet, AÍ and the wicket Orange Man + the MAGA people. We need to resist at every turn don’t give up America we can turn this around.
Slaves were private property. At least in the US. In every other country where slavery was legal (I know of only one exception) they could be either or both.
In the states where slavery was legal (a minority of states especially as more free states were admitted) slaves could be bought and sold, but not imported (per the 1808 Act), even by black slave owners.
Yes, never forget the massive/majority number of black slave owners in the U.S. 1700-1800s, etc. Little known historical fact: 300 of them fought for the Confederacy at Shiloh.
My point is that it was not a Communist system, so KevinDurant was wrong and I was right....and you're sycophant fanboy who has no credibility in judging "fights."
Hey, even a relaibly retarded person can best KevinDurant.
Lol. You know that 300 number is fake, right?
Yeah, go hide in the same place as all the black slaveowners in the South 1700s-1800s. They're hanging out with all the black folks that participated in Jan. 6th. ;)....and FBI agent Ray Epps!
I read a great scfi short story. It was only one short paragraph. A man on a platform in front of cameras turned on a super computer. The man asked the now activated computer, "Is there a God." The computer responded, "Now there is.". The man jumped for the off switch but was struck down by a lightning bolt.
End of story. The story was one brilliant short paragraph long but it has stuck with me for decades.
I remember a similar one, but I forget the title. A group of astronauts on board a starship managed by a supercomputer that is near-human in its capabilities. It is a slower-than-light-speed ship that will take centuries of suspended sleep to reach the destination.
The astronauts talk about the quest to develop "pure consciousness" in a machine, actually a higher state of being than humans, who are only half conscious.
Somehow, in the course of events, the computer finally develops pure consciousness, along with god-like power. It instantly transports the ship the rest of the way to the destination star system, anoints the astronauts its high priests, and informs them they are to awaken the rest of the passengers and begin worshipping it.
Be aware that Comprof is likely a bot, crafted to distract reasonable humans from productive discussions which can lead to increased knowledge. Responding to it can never lead to anything productive. But it may learn to entice certain individuals into its woke worldview where everything evil comes from America, and secondarily from Western civilization. It can never write otherwise. Those who control Comprof may learn to improve his influence by obtaining replies. Thus it is a part of the evil tech infrastructure that must be avoided. If it is human, he is simply doing what he has been indoctrinated to do.
“But what would a refusal to worship look like? And what would be the price?”
——————————————————
If you want to know what it’s like to not use technology just say something critical of a Democrat in 2026. All of your shit will be turned off.
Maybe there are sound reasons as to why you're being shouted-down.
Yeah, yeah Kevvy - but what did u think of the article? Say something original. I’m getting that record at the end of the turntable again.
I refuse to say anything original.
To our detriment..
Oh well.

It sounds like you have an obsession.
If the people doing human experiments on mentally-ill children were only stealing 7% of my money then I guess you could maybe call it an obsession.
Cut off your water, electricity, and cell phone service, or worse, show only re-runs of "The Price Is Right" on your TV.
Amazon’s internal systems already did that. They cut off a man’s entire house from him, fora week because the system (incorrectly) decided he made some racial slur.
Oh, ps, he’s a black doctor.
Something we all can expect from AI in the future, no doubt.
Answer the questions, KevinDurant.
Isn’t it “whats the frequency, Kenneth”?
I guess you're impressed with your own wit but nobody else has a clue what you're even talking about
I'm impressed that I've owned KevinDurant, one of the most belligerently ignorant people on this board, once again. Although I answered his question, he runs like a coward and refuses to answer mine.
You are indeed a legend in your own mind.
FYI--Kevin is entertaining. Original. Maybe not thoughtful, but thought-provoking. You come across as an annoying troll. Your own little dilapidated bridge is all you own
No. Kevin repeats the same jokes ad naseum. Boring. And an easily owned coward. "Corrupt Biden, Communism, and Democrats are pedophiles." That's it. Oh...and Planned Parenthood offices are actually performing castrations during business hours.

I own my bridge....and a lot of the people on here. Think you've just been added to the list.
In his book "Sociology for the South" (1854), slavery apologist George Fitzhugh praised a slavery-based economy as "a most perfect form of communism."
Hi liked it so well that he thought slavery should be extended to all races.
1. Were slaves public property? Yes or No?
2. Were slaves private property? Yes or No?
3. Were slave owners allowed to make profit, buy/sell their slaves based on prices set by the free market without interference from the state? Yes or No?
Yep, legend in your own mind. Cool
Lol! You're not gonna help your idol, fanboy?
Two easy questions....that's all.
Maybe you two can move to a cabin in Vermont and pass the time knitting each other sweaters or something.
Wow dude, you're quite the piece of work. Just because the gay thing is what floats your boat, don't assume other people share your life choices. I'm here observing. You aren't going to "own" someone with your overinflated ego, trust me. Enjoy you delusions of grandeur. Why would I "defend" Kevin? I don't even know him.

Yes, people often get sick of those who are not part of their cult. It's annoying.
As you say, I don't care.
Nah. Only say that for disnegenuousness.
Good. So, from here on out - keep your mouth shut. ;)
Do you think that wink at the end makes any difference? You don't tell me what to do, jackass.
I tell you to do whatever I want, jackass.
I agree. If one puts out a comment he should be able to respond to a question. If not, then it's suggested that the person made a false claim.
Yep. That's all I'm asking for. But once again, the ducking and dodging commences. At least someone on this board is not intellectually dishonest.
Why 2026, how about going to2024. There is so much shit around Joe Biden, and yet the media and social media spin him like a man with the soul of God leading an administration of angels which is going to save Ukraine, rebuild NATO and deliver us from all the evils of internet, AÍ and the wicket Orange Man + the MAGA people. We need to resist at every turn don’t give up America we can turn this around.
lol!!
As "Kevin" points out, any technology placed in the hands of truly evil people will, ultimately, only advance evil.
Answer the questions, Bruce Miller.
Reliably retarded, Prof.
QED
You decided you were the judge, right?
So answer the 2 questions. Stop running. Reliably cowardly.
Nobody knows - or cares - what you're babbling about. Please stay out of the sun on hot days such as this.
Lol. You cared enough to open your mouth and interject yourself, didn't you? So, answer, fight judge :)
1. Were slaves public property? Yes or No?
2. Were slave owners allowed to make profit, buy/sell slaves based on a fair price created by the free market? Yes or No?
The coward KevinDurant has refused to answer, even though I answered his question. Maybe you can help him?

My point is that it was not a Communist system, so KevinDurant was wrong and I was right....and you're sycophant fanboy who has no credibility in judging "fights."
Ooooh...I may never recover from that slight. Maybe I should just go hide myself away your magnificence.
Hey, even a relaibly retarded person can best KevinDurant.
Lol. You know that 300 number is fake, right?
Yeah, go hide in the same place as all the black slaveowners in the South 1700s-1800s. They're hanging out with all the black folks that participated in Jan. 6th. ;)....and FBI agent Ray Epps!
Watch the movie "Colossus: The Forbin Project":

Has elements of 2001: A Space Odyssey
Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
One of my very favorites. It immediately came to mind upon reading this.
You mean Democrats.
