  1. TOTAL COMPLETE BULLSHIT. This is just another bunch of techno toys trying to solve problems that don't exist. The bigger pile of garbage is this endless garbage about AI. There is no such thing as software that thinks or has intelligence. What does exist are algorithms that mimic specific human tasks. But to make those algorithms work requires tasks that are well defined. This is why its used for facial recognition its a specific task to find something that is well defined (somebodies face) in a bunch of images (still photographs or moving film). I'm an aerospace engineer who works in control systems (the computers that run industry - power stations, mineral processing plants, water treatment, waste treatment, etc.) We've had very sophisticated algorithms for decades, and by all the claims today we could claim they are AI, but no self respecting engineer calls any of it AI. AI is a claim made by promoters trying to get people to invest or buy stuff - nothing else.

  2.  @thetruthchannel349  First off don't highlight everything it makes you seem like your ranting. Highlight the bits you want people to notice or to emphasize. Jeremiah didn't predict weapons if you are referring to wheelwork. Like may parts of the bible those are word images meant to provide readers and listeners a picture in the head to convey an idea or concept. Jesus did the same thing with his parables. He wanted people to think so he gave them word pictures so that they would UNDERSTAND what he wanted them to understand. My parents were teachers, their friends were teachers so I was surrounded by people who taught and spent their days trying to get people to think. Way to often scholars try to read way too much into every subject they study. Sometimes you don't need to read things in but simply accept the information for what it is and use it to expand your own knowledge of the world. The Dan Brown fans and followers of Kabala are and conspiracy people are always trying to read things that just aren't there. Greek is nothing like a modern computer language, whether you are talking modern Greek or ancient Koine Greek. Its a language with a different alphabet and structure to modern English - nothing more, nothing less. Computer languages are nothing like human languages. They are task orientated to process data. Human languages convey all sorts of things for which no data is definable (morals, ethics, empathy, etc.) Its what makes true AI almost impossible because how do we make a processor capable of processing raw data and human data in parallel when we've no idea how to define human data let alone process it. Smart weapons aren't that smart, as in they don't think. In WW2 bombs dropped and hit whatever they landed on. Smart bombs are guided and glide to hit the target with a very high level of accuracy. So instead of sending dozens, 100s or a 100+ bombers you can send 1 plane with a very accurate bomb and surgically destroy a very specific target. Its considered smarter to drop 1 bomb with surety than 1000s with hope. As I said I am an aerospace engineer and I work in control systems. I also have a pilots license so I know this stuff. Not as well as some do but certainly better than 99.9%. I also understand my Bible fairly well. I don't like to talk much about particularly on social media where you have no idea who you are talking to or what their motivations are. Plus so many people interpret it the same way they interpret other things - to suit their own motivations. That's arguably the real cancer of modern society - too many people wanting to interpret or reinterpret information rather than accept information for what it is.

  3.  @thetruthchannel349  Don't lecture people about AI when you don't know a damn thing about the subject.

  4.  @thetruthchannel349  Unless they can get quantum processors to work its all BS. Derek at Veritasium did a great vid on the rebirth of analog computers recently (link below). It highlights the problems there in that they can be great once trained but then they are great for that one task and one task only like image analysis. The real problem for true AI is that nobody can actually define in an engineering sense what intelligence is, let alone things like morals, ethics, empathy, etc. Then there's the problem with what would an AI actually do once it became self aware. The only honest TV or Hollywood portrayal I ever saw was an episode of "Person of Interest" where Harold explained what he did to make his "machine" work without killing everyone on the planet. He was trying to warn the creator of another AI to not do it how he was doing it because it would simply enslave the human race or exterminate us. Its one of those near insane philosophical arguments about what would you do if you were a hyper intelligent all powerful entity trapped on a planet with 7.8 billion idiotic clowns that like destroying everything they can and who particularly react badly to hyper intelligent all powerful entities that they can't control. Do you exterminate us or enslave us or flee the planet? Veritasium vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVsUOuSjvcg

  5.  @thetruthchannel349  I have seen that old film and its not too bad at what a self aware system would do. Its one of the very few accurate depictions.

  6.  @thetruthchannel349  STOP YELLING and don't ever make the claim somebody doesn't know what they are talking about with say what they are wrong about. One thing people hat about academics is they claim "I know and you don't" without ever explaining anything. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THEOLOGIANS. Its why people hate them. I have taken time with you and you have responded with the VERY TYPICAL pile of arrogance your kind has had for the last 6,000 years of recorded history. Jesus described your kind time and time again.

  7.  @thetruthchannel349  have you ever stopped and wondered why people hate the Bible? They don't hate the Bible that hate people like you.
