You have that backwards. People are using the colloquial definition of AI.

"Intelligence" is defined by a group of things like pattern recognition, ability to use tools, problem solving, etc. If one of those definitions are met then the thing in question can be said to have intelligence.

A flat worm has intelligence, just very little of it. An object detection model has intelligence (pattern recognition) just not a lot of it. An LLM has more intelligence than a basic object detection model, but still far less than a human.

You might want to look up the definition of intelligence then.

By literal definition, a flat worm has intelligence. It just didn't have much of it. You're using the colloquial definition of intelligence, which uses human intelligence as a baseline.

I'll leave this graphic here to help you visualize what I mean:

That's why they're calling it "AI".

That's not why. They're calling it AI because it is AI. AI doesn't mean sapient or conscious.

Edit: look at this diagram if you're still unsure:

Torvalds be with you. Go in peace.

Sorry for trying to improve everyone's lives. How selfish of us to share superior technology.

I guess we'll just hoard all the good stuff and not let you guys have any of it from now on.

Windows is idiot proof, meaning that it's kind of hard to ruin desktop windows during the normal operations.

Are you new? Windows will barf all over itself and all your files doing regular updates. Happened to my wife's computer just recently. She has almost nothing installed on it aside from Steam and Chrome. Windows update turned itself into a hot mess, and it's a known issue. The only option was to do a completely fresh install of Windows.

Idiot proof my ass.

Yes.

I have a feeling you think you're saying something different than what I said.

I get what you're saying, but no. The ruling is specifically "woman" means "biological female", not "everything is a woman".

Almost any default text editor on Linux is better than Windows notepad, and many are straight up better than Notepad++

I'm very familiar with autism. While I've been diagnosed with ADHD, there's a good chance I have AuDHD. And my wife has been officially diagnosed with ASD, so I know very intimately what it's like from another person also.

My point is to say that we should make society more inclusive

100% agreed. But that's not what you originally said.

I am very much against pathologizing and trying to eliminate autism as RFKjr is doing.

Completely disagree. There's a limit to how inclusive you can make society. And even if you did make society so accommodating that things like ADHD and ASD almost "disappear" from overall societal perception, none of that will ever make the internal things alright. The internal conflict, the struggles, the mental exhaustion from trying to keep up with daily tasks and social situations, etc.

There will always always be a disadvantage for such people. ADHD puts people in a perpetual state of internal turmoil. It is quite an impossibility for someone with ADHD to feel "contented". Our brains just will not let it happen.

If there was a way to permanently "fix" my ADHD and be normal, I would go for it.

See, that still doesn't make sense. How will helping Russia steal Americans data help other Americans gain more power, control, and wealth?

Those who desire power do not share it

You would think they would be working against each other. Despite the ultimate goals of the two groups being similar in shape and colour. Ultimately they are polar opposites because the intent is for each group to have "power, control, and wealth" for themselves and no one else.

What I truly don't understand, is why?

What's the endgame? What's the purpose? What's the benefit?

While I appreciate the sentiment, I don't wish for anyone to have ADHD. It's an incredibly debilitating condition that makes basic things in daily life absurdly difficult.

There's a difference between "let's embrace our differences" and "let's not do anything to improve the lives of people".

MM/DD/YYYY

DD/MM/YYYY

Both of these are the wrong way to format dates.

If you want to stop endless troubleshooting, switch to Linux.

What a coherent and well thought-out response!

But nobody who uses it treats it like "just a tool."

I do. I use it to tighten up some lazy code that I wrote, or to help me figure out a potential flaw in my logic, or to suggest a "better" way to do something if I'm not happy with what I originally wrote.

It's always small snippets of code and I don't always accept the answer. In fact, I'd say less than 50% of the time I get a result I can use as-is, but I will say that most of the time it gives me an idea or puts me on the right track.

If there is no correlation between vaccines and autism at a statically significant level then that means there is no association between vaccines and autism.

I never disagreed with that or stated the opposite. I know vaccines do not cause autism, and I've had to scientifically explain that fact to many people in my personal life.

But I think your reading comprehension needs serious improvement. You clearly do not understand how the scientific method works.

Science does not prove things. This is a fundamental aspect of how science is done.

• You come up with a hypothesis.
• Design an experiment to test that
• Based on the results:
  • Good prediction: the hypothesis got something right
  • Bad prediction: the hypothesis is wrong, go back to the drawing board

You can disprove a hypothesis with an experiment/study, but you cannot do the opposite. The best you can do is validate that the hypothesis got something right. From there you need to refine the theory to make more and more accurate predictions until something breaks. That's literally how science works.

Go fuck yourself with prove and disprove you pedantic wanker.

Go read a Science Basics for Dummies book and then come talk to me, otherwise stay in your lane.

Their authoritarian dystopia is preferable to the American nazi parties fascist idiocracy

No, it really isn't. Neither is preferable. The reason why the American system seems incredibly bad right now is because everyone in the West is accustomed to the kind of liberty we've enjoyed for a long time. So when that changes we see the contrast around us very sharply.

But don't kid yourself that China is better. In fact, the Chinese system is the direction that America is heading towards and starting to emulate.

People in China can't even say a single negative word against Xi, and if they do it online whatever they post gets deleted within minutes and the person gets a knock at the door, often not being heard from ever again.

And that's simply not the case in the US currently. Sure you get the news story about people being turned away at the border for having said something about Trump online, or getting locked up by ICE for a few months (that's an insane reality, don't get me wrong). But ultimately these people are the exception... for now.

At least the CCP value science and education.

The German Nazis also valued Science and education. That doesn't mean anything in the long run.

ps: I know someone will accuse me of violating Godwin's law here, but it's literally relevant since we're talking about actual Nazis

I think you misunderstood my comment. Science doesn't "prove" things, math does. In science you acquire evidence that either supports a hypothesis or doesn't.

Technically, science can "disprove" things, but never "prove".

Yes this is a pedantic difference, but it's very important when literally discussing the interpretation of a scientific study.

So what I was saying is that even if the study RFK cited was supportive of vaccines not causing autism, it would still be wrong to say that it "proves" that.
