I do wonder why people buy smart TVs instead of getting regular displays together with a Linux PC.
yeah i know i was joking
maybe it wasn’t a good joke ^^
Open means “uben” in german so
Free Libre Open Source Software is FLUSS in german and that roughly translates to “fucking” and I think that’s beautiful.
IMO Debian is already pretty far middle-ground. The packages are new enough for my personal usage.
you know what they say, milk makes beautiful skin. so.
Can anyone enlighten me: What is the advantage of IRC over say Matrix, Email, etc…
That would be true if the world is hollow.
But we know it is not.
Yeah I think the human brain is a vehicle for “mind virus” which is script and ideas.
Are you interested in this from a philosophical perspective or from a practical perspective?
From a philosophical perspective:
It depends on what you mean by “intelligent”. People have been thinking about this for millennia and have come up with different answers. Pick your preference.
From a practical perspective:
This is where it gets interesting. I don’t think we’ll have a moment where we say “ok now the machine is intelligent”. Instead, it will just slowly and slowly take over more and more jobs, by being good at more and more tasks. And just so, in the end, it will take over a lot of human jobs. I think people don’t like to hear it due to the fear of unemployedness and such, but I think that’s a realistic outcome.
You might also be interested in the Panopticon.
In humans, there’s good things and there’s bad things. But most of it is actually in-between.
If you take out everything bad, that satisfies you for the moment. And then you go on, looking for further progress. You take out the almost-bad, the somewhat-bad. In the end, it leaves only the good. But that is not enough for a human to live on.
Constant surveillance leads to burnout and extremely high stress-levels.
you’re right to have these feelings. humans together strong.
the fuck? it’s a nice picture, just let it be. it’s IMHO a better image than many hand-drawn ones.
I hadn’t read it before, and I thought it was interesting, and the article is still as relevant as it was back then. I thought many others missed it too. It’s also pretty well written.
I don’t know why I just read “UNIX” in a french accent.
