  • I’m not sure you’re just being stubborn or really believe that peace treaty crap. War ends one one of the sides is forced into submission and surrender.

    Yet you wanna call that a peace treaty like it’s some agreement reached at any time that is not short of annihilating the other guys. At least recently. But, throughout history, many wars ended with the actual annihilation of the other side so now you know what I’m disagreeing with.

    If not, what I’m disagreeing with for this case is diplomacy and negotiations. Fuck that and fuck Russia and the USA. Use the money to let Ukraine go berserk.









  • Well, if an alien entity did give us some new technology that we didn’t have the science to build or would be an epistemological break and didn’t explain it, it would still exist and it would be the product of something we don’t understand.

    I don’t get your point, are you trying to say that if we don’t know how it works, then the entity that created it is magical or something?

    An engineer would have been restricted by our current knowledge and processes. An “AI” doesn’t have that kind of hindrance.

    Because your point is that it was a fluke, my point is that it was the product of a new kind of way of “thinking” and resolving problems. And compared it to how the human brain solves and resolved problems. We know the parts that are activated, we know how they communicate and transfer data but we have no way to explain how it all produces thoughts and dreams and whatever other processes our brains use to create new things. Or we would have recreated it already.

    What I’m saying is that we might have created something new that we don’t know how it does what it does, except is - very crudely explained - the product of probabilities and that’s ok. We don’t have to know how it does what it does, it will still do it.
