Uncle Tom had his issues, but he wasn’t hateful toward anyone.

When you say “by themselves”, you mean one person would still write the scripts manually, and AI would replace the grunt-work animation teams that shows like the Simpsons and South Park employ in East Asia?

If the AT protocol allows public access to content, they can’t create a proprietary training set. But the content is available for anyone who wants to add it to a public training set.

We can have AI control our metaverse avatars so we can ignore them both.

Prehistoric people leaving things in caves is practically the only way we still know about them, but that doesn’t mean humans normally hung out in caves as a permanent lifestyle. We have evidence of people making wooden structures in Africa long before the first cave paintings—and compared to structures, caves would have been cold and dark, unlikely to be conveniently located, and contested for by cave-adapted animals.

It’s because the caves were so shitty that subsequent people left them untouched for tens of thousands of years.

Logically, yeah—it went from “all X are Y” to “no non-X are Y” (or equivalently, “all Y are X”).

When he won before, he was outside the Republican party establishment and just put his own unprepared cronies in charge.

Interesting approach—to detect fake news by simulating humans’ reaction to it rather than judging the content itself.

The question at hand is who will be the next president, not who will win your imaginary argument.

Someone needs to invent a waterproof suction-mounted device dedicated to recording actual shower thoughts.

According to quantum field theory particles are just fluctuations in fields that permeate all of space, so sure.

(The “fabric of spacetime”, on the other hand, is more of a mental analogy than an actual thing.)
