Here's a link to a YouTubed interview, along with transcript: I copy/pasted the Hinton quotes below from that page. The 2nd article cited in OP was written by Will Douglas Heaven, who does have a PhD in Computer Science. Am I wrong that they use the same sort of back-prop net that other AIs...

scape goat

Is that not in the same ballpark as Americans advocating violence if they don't get their way in the next election? So if Trump wins the election should the Blues launch massacres against the Reds?

I don't know if this contradicts Robyn Walsh's hypothesis, but there were surely Aramaic-language Christian writings -- most notably the "Q source" -- that preceded the destruction of Jerusalem. Parts of the Gospels are seen to have been translated from Aramaic. Why then do the Gospels we know...

Wrong. And yet again you manage to miss the whole point! I'm tired of trying to explain this to you. As an exercise to expand your mind, re-read what I wrote, paying special attention to the question I reddened, pretend I'm not an imbecile, and get back when YOU think you can explain MY...

The Old Testament largely treats slavery as it does other parts of the so-called "Problem of Evil": Being enslaved was just a fact of life for some people. An exception is that Israelites should NOT be enslaved, but enslaving Gentiles was OK: - - - - - - - - - - - - - And I must take issue...

You missed the point. We are NOT talking about the current War -- There are no easy solutions there. We ARE talking about the abusive behavior over the decades which have led to Palestinian resentment. in particular we are talking about the confiscation by religious extremists of West Bank land...

:confused2: :confused2: What dialogue? What could a cast led by MTG possibly contribute to anything? Details about space lasers? Proof that it was Hunter Biden who killed Vince Foster and master-minded the attack on 11 September 2001?

The drunken rant festival in the House Oversight Committee has become infamous. Here's a YouTube that puts more of that amazing demonstration of the post-rational American Congress than other clips do. Comer, who complains that he has two hearing aids and barely knows Parliamentary rules...

I realize there are some GOPsters campaigning for Biden, but how many big name Republicans are making earnest-most effort? Few?, Am I wrong? Neither Romney nor Liz Cheney have appeared on TV endorsing a vote for Biden? If enough "conservatives" denounced Trump wouldn't SOME Independents get...

I've been aware of high U.S. incarceration rates for decades (and indeed have been incarcerated myself), but Googled anyway. Crossing out tiny islands and such, the five countries with highest incarceration seem to be: (All numbers are per 100,000.) #1 United States (716), #2 Cuba (510), #3...

Back to the Future From Here to Eternity

Don't think too much about it. If Biden were anti-Wind and the Psychopath pro-Wind, the Ilk would be just as happy to agree with their Master.
