A Threat to Humankind?

Postby shubla » Mon Nov 11, 2019 1:30 am

Jorb is a name that some have applied to an ancient
and powerful goddess in the Norse pantheon who had
a special place in the minds of many Vikings, but who
in the end was not really a goddess. For instance, there
is a place in Denmark called "Jor" which means "Jorb"
but in fact it means "Ogre's Hill".

The text above does sound somewhat real, but it was
actually generated by a neural network.
Recently a complete version of GPT-2 was released,
a model that was trained to predict the next word, using
a bunch of random texts from the internet.

At first, they said that it would be too "dangerous" to release
the full model, because they feared that it could be misused
to generate lots of fake content, like news articles. But now
they seemingly changed their mind.

Of course, it's not a new idea to make programs that
generate text, but GPT-2 is able to generate a variety
of texts with exceptional quality, when compared to
other programs or models like GPT-2.

Perhaps some day I don't have to make my quality
posts to forums anymore, because neural networks
can generate text of equivalent quality?
Perhaps some day we don't need devs,
because neural networks will generate the code for this game?

But what to you think?

You can try it yourself here.

You may have to try a few times to get something
that really makes sense though!

a watermellon) and some other people were not. It was a very interesting experience and we got to see the area and the local population in a new light. We would definitely visit again in the future!

If you are looking for a truly authentic place to see the natural world, be sure to check out the Nature Center where they have many animal and plant exhibits including a bird sanctuary with a wide variety of birds including ducks, geese, ducks, pigeons, ducks and more. I love the watermellon's. They come with a little box to keep them in, and I've seen some really great ones come with little or no box and many have been taken home!

In the back you can sit by the pool and see some other animals that may come through. And don't forget to ask to get a tour of the Zoo where you will be able to see how the animals interact with each other and the world around them. The

The Outdatedness of the Human Species

The Human Species Is a Dictator

The Human Species is a Dictator is about an artist trying to put together a movie. There's an older woman who is looking for a home and a place to raise her family, but that's a hard question.

She wants a family of sorts, a man to be her husband and a home. She's looking for a man who doesn't judge her on her looks or her work. Her eyes get hot when she talks about him, like a mother might if she sees her son or daughter dating the wrong guy.

The scene comes to an end when the older woman, who is now the main character of the film, tells the artist, "I'm not going to judge you, but just don't judge me. I know you're an artist."

And so she ends up loving the man, even if it's only a little.

There are two main categories of evolution.

Evolution from a higher form. Evolution from lower forms.

The second one is an evolution from the lower forms to the higher ones.

Now there are two main problems with this:

1. The evolutionary model for human evolution is completely wrong. It is a creationist model, that's why it's flawed.

2. The evolutionary model for other animals is completely wrong as well.

There are 2 main causes of the error in this model:

1. The first one is that all evolution is from lower forms. That is, all human evolution is from lower forms. The lower forms are just the same species. They are the lower forms of the higher forms. Humans are all the same species.

2. The second one is that the evolutionary model can't account for life on the moon.

Thank you GPT-2, enlightening ....

I just noticed my previous answer at your question ( A threat to humankind? ) can be easily misunderstood, if we are talking about little and dumb creations such as our friend here GPT-2, the answer is NO, they won't ever be a threat to humankind, simply cause we created them, and we are just little men, dust of the history.
The threat comes by the man when there is no Man anymore.

Reminds me of how dog heaven doubles as squirrel hell, afterlife is efficient like that.

Well, it's not if you erase the word/concept we use to identify the will to power, then the will to power will vanish in thin air. Simply you will be using another word, such as money,fun,pleasure,tecnique or what else.
The crowd who beleived blindly in God in the past and the crowd that don't beleive blindly in God these days are the same people, bigots.

Björn Johannessen means "blessed by the water". When you look at his work, it seems that he is just blessed by the water. He has been recognized with two solo exhibition in Stockholm: "The Bärenkultur" and "The Water", which opens in early August.

I can see it as a threat but not the kind you suggested. Certainly a number of niche writers can be driven out of business by it.

I have found a nice game
This is the one with the green and yellow boxes.

The game looks like this and has this strange sound
http://i.imgur.com/pQxEfVg.jpg
It sounds like it is talking to me.
The game is the one with a green box and yellow box. It has 2 different sounds.

http://i.imgur.com/2VzWvKQ.jpg
So far, I have been able to get a couple of them, and I think this is the one that talks to me.
I know it may be a little weird. I just thought I would post my findings.

EDIT:
Found another box with the same pattern


It is very promising as a retardation simulator.

What I think, honestly, given what I have seen and experienced so far in life... Is that humans are a greater threat to humankind than AI could ever be. Here's to the downfall of our species as a result of fear mongering perpetrated by castes of "elites" like surgeons. These nepotistic oligarchical groups fear losing their place to a superior force who exceeds their limited abilities. Without their stranglehold over the keys to life and death (held in (literally) shaky hands) how will they garner a new source of misplaced trust and respect. The West is rotten. A stagnant corpse.

Wake up shubla, you drone.

PS. Thank you for using a non gender specific noun. I found it comforting and was not upset by it at all.
