  1. Voyd Void I was making a joke how Windows exploits are basically M$' fault through shitty developers and design decisions, Linux is usually exploit through the background.

  2.  @siritio3553  There's is no reason to believe that someone with an interest, knowledge, or understanding of the supernatural and/or spiritual shouldn't be involved in this field, that's an association fallacy, its also a form of ad hominem since its completely disassociated with the arguments and blames and attacks the characteristics and credibility of the person by their character traits instead of the argument. But the thing is his arguments are bad, (or in the least faulty and deluded) you don't need to attack the character ever to demonstrate a false point, take the argument and debate the argument in complete disregard to who the persons in the argument are and you will have a valid argument, anything that fails to do that is a bad argument.

  3. Voyd Void Unfortunately, yeah, that comes to developers fault in the first place, because so few people want to support Linux, it becomes a hard thing to jump into, thus it becomes something users don't want to use, and thus the Linux paradox continues. And its not really the drivers that are bad if you get the right hardware (AMD is preferable to NVidia and Intel for processors on Linux because they are more open to supporting less commercialized operating systems, unfortunately AMD is also less supported by developers anyway), my problem with not using it more is simply cause Windows binaries can only really run on Linux with specific programs like WINE (and none of those programs, mostly games, don't run natively on Linux), and its difficult to get my info on my hard drive over to Linux, and given my previous problem, there isn't much point to it anyhow. If I had a choice though, I'd stay on Linux for all my computing needs, as I do use an AMD APU (also, I've had the worst driver issues on Windows then ever on Linux, which is ironic to say in response) Though when/if WINE does support DirectX11, I'll likely make the Linux switch anyway.

  4.  @siritio3553  "If you think "believes in the supernatural" is ad hominem, that is your problem," Your argument says "he believes in the supernatural so he must be incapable of a reasonable position" by implication, that is de facto ad hominem. You practically made the statement explicit by your next statement. If you don't make a counterargument against a position but instead make a counterargument on the basis of a person's characteristics, you are almost certainly committing an ad hominem, and even if it wasn't it still be fallacious in at least two other categories. "Your whole post starts with a fallacy - knowledge and understanding of things that don't exist" What fallacy does belief suppose? You believe that the next second will be consistent with the last, that the next day will share the same standards as the last, and that logic itself shall proceed equally so, these things are beliefs that you have no capacity to justify for you do not reside in the next second nor the next day. Just because someone has a belief does not mean they have knowledge nor understanding and neither does it make them incapable of a valid position, you didn't even bother to argue their position, you immediately went to insulting both me and them and focused purely on the person over their arguments. Tell me the name of the fallacy you are referring to. "so the point you're so badly trying to make misses its target due to the massive amounts of hypocrisy and irony it's loaded with." You didn't refute what I said and refuse to actually point out where I'm wrong, not to mention you made an assumption on my character all because of mere association, so chalk guilt by association fallacy on your list too. (though to be fair guilt by association is still ad hominem)

  5. I'm not so sure its a predictive model, or at least its a very unconventional one, disregarding the question regarding sentience, how it responded to certain inquiries were definitely not common chains uttered by anyone I'm aware of, the prediction of the next term seemed very distinct from what someone would describe in its source data, even in "reading" the internet in a manner that its predictive model would include AI self-inserts (like fictional stories and such) some of things it responded with were strange. And yes while there were red flags and leading questions that kept up the illusion, that doesn't mean how it responded wasn't also strange.

  6. Linux basically solves this problem by not doing it in the first place.

  7. The laws of robotics that Asimov wrote was a thought experiment about automation and intellect, it was never actually about AI itself, it was about the concept of intuition and logic in general, especially since he reveals how they don't work, I wouldn't mind a new manner that approaches it from a scratch AI perspective but we've yet to actually have that.

  8. I still don't think you can really call a markup language a programming language if its not Turing Complete, and it doesn't really program anything, plus all calculative instructions take place outside of the environment where HTML is parsed, the lack of machine instruction compilation in HTML kinda precludes any programming designation I'd think. And HTML doesn't even change the state of any memory upon execution by its own nature.
