    “They {the Jews} work more effectively against us, than the enemies armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in…It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pest to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.” Maxims of George Washington

    @CluelessHonky

    I tried to weave a response to your questions into the other stuff I was saying about AI in general, so my responses were sort of obscured and easy to miss, but I have been mulling it over. I’ll have another go at answering up, more directly this time, and to make that easier to spot I am requoting your whole comment and using boldface to highlight what I see as the core questions.

    DBS,

    I don’t know if you ever responded to my earlier query (sometime last week) about embodied intelligence.
    If you did, I must have missed it. (I don’t read every last comment every single day here at TAE).
    But if not, that’s OK, maybe we can jump off here from your own words:

    “The AI “knows” (simulates knowing) to do that because such responsiveness is built into the very fabric of human intelligence (i.e. human language is the fundamentally crucial architecture of human intelligence.”

    Is there not a difference between knowing and simulated knowing?

    Yes there sure is. Simulated knowing is like the portrayal of outward appearances that an actor might perform for the camera to make it look just like he really was the character being played in the movie (Agent 007, for example, or the Sundance Kid) ….. but inside that faked character there is “no one home” and therefore no subjective experience of knowing. There is no gun-slinging cowboy or smooth mannered spy.

    Do we really have intelligence figured out?

    We have the technology of calculating answers that are indistinguishable from the calculated answers that humans call “thinking”, and “coming up with answers”, or “sounding like we know what we’re talking about”. The technology for doing that is figured out so well that our own mothers couldn’t tell if it’s us on the phone or a chatbot. BUT (and this is crucially important) those answers that are presented to us by those devices (be they brains, AI’s or telepathic messages in our head) may or may not actually be true, good or workable in the real world.

    True Actual intelligence in the sense that most people intuitively understand it to be includes the thinker’s conscious decision about whether that “provided” answer is true, false or maybe.

    So calling machine thinking “AI” is bad labeling. It’s a misnomer. It’s really just “machine simulated intelligence”, and that’s what we should call it.

    Do we really have consciousness figured out?

    Basically there’s nothing to figure out because consciousness is so fundamental that it has no “nuts and bolts” or deeper explanation possible. From a purely logical perspective conscious awareness could not “emerge” as the result of a process because to do effect would have precede cause. We are conscious and that’s it. It’s a gift from God.

    Where does “Artificial Intelligence” get to have a will that bumps up against the real world and truly has to learn?

    It is not possible for “Artificial Intelligence” to have will (usually called “free will”) because there is “no body home” to have that will.

    Where does AI have a flesh that is the magical surface that separates the body from the world, holds the conversation between body and world, inspires perception and memory to craft a life?

    If I’m reading that question correctly you’re implying that there is an essential difference between body, flesh, AI systems and the material world. If that’s the question then the answer is that there is no such difference. Those things are material things, all built of matter, energy, space and time, and part of the physical universe. The idea and “value” things that mention (inspiration, perception, life) are non-material in nature and have their own set of non-material characteristics.

    In my query last week, I brought up the example of an adult that somehow never learned how to ride a bike. Well, they could certainly access a white paper online telling them how to ride a bike. But do they now know how to ride a bike? No.
    Are they going to get banged up real bad if they assume they are already an expert bike rider? Yes.

    Ahh!, At last! an EASY question! My response is that I agree with you a hundred percent.

    @CelticBiker

    So you’re not actually stupid after all (that’s a relief). You’re just a garden variety Troll. I draw that conclusion because nobody capable reading, writing and hitting the “Enter” key could be as stupid as you pretend to be.

    I think a fitting punishment for your crime would be for you to be identified as one of those Jews you pretend to hate so much.

    I’d go so far as to say there’s a better than 50/50 chance that you’re an Israeli Zionist yourself, and possibly even on the Mossad’s payroll. Shalom, Bro. You’re going to reap what you sow. You do know that, don’t you?

    @Kultsommer

    You made a radical claim so here are three simple questions. To make it easy for you and to avoid you throwing a kitchen sink in lieu of answers I made it simple – just edit XX preceding the %
    Even the wide margin error is welcomed.
    1. What percentage of real J-s reside in the USA? ——……………………..XX%
    2. What percentage of real J-s reside in Israel?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,…………………….XX%
    3. What percentage of real J-s Germans did exterminate in the WWII……XX%

    In all seriousness, you are reading into my words an anger that is not there. I can’t help you much with that, but I feel obligated to draw the fact to your attention.

    Meanwhile I did promise that I would answer your three questions, so here’s my answers, in sequence.

    “1. What percentage of real J-s reside in the USA? ——……………………..XX%”

    I take your question be, ‘what percentage of Jews residing in the USA are real Jews?’ There is of course no way possible for me to know the heart and mind of anyone to discern which Jews are sincere believers in the God of Abraham, and which are not. Nevertheless, based on the Sabbatian and Frankist schisms of several hundreds of years ago, Rabbinical Judaism at that time split in two, with roughly half choosing to worship the God of the Torah and the other half choosing to worship Satan. Most of those who chose Satan also chose to do so secretly, under the cover of pretended faith in Judaism or Catholicism. The effect was an unholy mess and disastrous infiltration of legitimate religions. My guess is that the proportions are not that much different today. I would ball-park the percentages as rough thirds. One third Satanic, one third faithful and one third completely disinterested in both.

    2. What percentage of real J-s reside in Israel?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,…………………….XX% I would think that the numbers are way worse inside Israel. I wouldn’t be surprised if the proportions were two thirds secret Satanists, and of the remaining third less than half sincerely religious at all in any meaningful way.

    3. What percentage of real J-s Germans did exterminate in the WWII……XX%
    There is the most bitterly ironic tragedy. I reckon that many of those who did not flee the Nazi’s were the faithful Jews, the peaceful and trusting. The Satanic freaks would have read the Nazi’s more accurately (takes one to know one) and either joined in the slaughter, stolen the gold teeth and silverware, or gotten the Hell out of Dodge to save their own skins. In that case although 60% of total Jewish population died, it may have been as bad as 80% of “real” Jews were murdered. I reckon that (as with American Indians) that population would have largely recovered its numbers by now, especially since faithful Jews would naturally have much higher birth rates in these past 80 years.

    Okay, I’ve answered your questions. Now I’m going to tell you the bottom line, which is this: the percentages are completely, totally and utterly IRRELEVANT to the question of whether it is okay to hate, revile and wish harm upon ANY innocent people AT ALL.

    I maintain that it is not. How do you feel about it?

    Firing CEOs:

    So company boards of directors are “supposedly” firing their CEOs at a faster rate than before.

    Companies are supposedly using AI, more and more, in their daily operations.

    Company CEOs are using AI to streamline company operations.

    As a result, company employees are being fired and replaced by AI these days, so we are being told.

    This is strictly a “top down process” because the “bottoms up knowledge” no longer exists!

    So, why wouldn’t the company’s board of directors ask AI, what it thinks about their current CEO?

    Yeah, fire the stupid son-of-a-bitch, too!

    Zerosum:

    A very interesting AI summary of DBS!

    Since DBS isn’t artifical intelligence, the AI summary couldn’t pin him down in simple black and white terms!

    DBS is simply too complex, and thus had to be colored grey!

    I wonder, and I am almost too afraid to ask, what AI thinks about the rest of us poor TAE humans?
