The problem i pointed to with Hinton and many others, is the disapearence of truth...
You as a mod can spot them the bots for now... Soon or even tomorrow you will not ...And know imagine a new comer coming him bragging in ectasy the first time about his new dac... You will ban him perhaps thinking by his behaviour that it is a bot... Mulutiply this hundred of times here, because the mods will soon have no signs at all if someone is someone or a bot...
This is called : the lost of our grip on reality , because there is no reality without truth , and no truth without a reality...
A. I. and the virtual world is a useful as tool but it is also a lie and an illusion ... Soon reality will become "virtual"... our DNA is already a mere product for corporations ( because idiots patented it and claimed properties) and the sky is only a laboratory to design anew the earth for Bill gates mania among others not well known transhumanits fools..
Truth is not first a discursive logical fact, it is first a perception of a real living tree in "nature", a word no transhumanist take seriously because everything for them is property and designable at will...They hate "nature" ...
I am optimist , death did not exist...There is no other reason to be optimist save to be thankful for the love of my children and dogs... ( my wife is included at the last minute) 😁
AI bots definitely do register accounts and post on forums. I’m a mod on a different forum and see them a few times each week. It’s hard to tell sometimes if it’s a person with poor english skills or a bot.If there’s a link included we mark them as spam and delete immediately. The posts that are questionable we leave them alone until we’re reasonably sure before spam cleaning.
