The simulation hypothesis rests on shaky assumptions

Burroughs was a legit pedo too.

The IPO is pure speculation at this point. OAI must reach "AGI" before Microsoft lets them go, unless their agreement has changed

Good book. I never laughed louder or smiled wider than the part where he becomes a Mexican cotton picker.

Quit saying AI can code. AI can't do anything that wasn't done by actual humans before. AI is a plagiarism machine.

It's normal to get angry at lies and propaganda

So you're a climate change denier, or what?

That's what you read out of my comment?

In short, no. But this article is absolutely not evidence of it.


Not sure what to read out of your comment, hence the question. You just appear super-angry at "lies and propaganda", which the linked article is neither/nor.

Well here's one way to think about it.

When the media or even scientists stretch out facts to support a thesis they don't actually support, they directly undermine the believability of that thesis to the general public. In a world cooking itself, that's probably not the greatest strategy. They do it so often it sometimes makes me wonder if that's not the true intent.


No it's really not. Northern Canada is infested with mosquitos and it's one of the coldest climates on earth. This has nothing to do with global warming.

Mosquito-heavy regions of northern Canada are actually warmer than Iceland in summer. Iceland averages 10-15°C (50-59°F) in July, but Canada’s boreal forest regions where mosquitoes thrive regularly see temperatures of 20-25°C (68-77°F) in the summer.

The Muskeg of northern Manitoba does not have an average July temperature of 25 lol 30 is considered an exceptionally hot day in most places

Isn't it that northern Syberia is super cold in winter and infested with mosquitoes in summer?

It's also quite hot in summer, being deep within the continent. Yakutsk can break +30 quite easily.

Baffin island has a July average of 12 degrees centigrade and it's crawling with mosquitos. Highly recommend confronting your biases.

They found a mosquito from a plane and it's because of global warming? Seems like it's actually because of global travel.

And before you lose your shit just think about it. Would me bringing a penguin to central America on a plane be evidence of global cooling?


Did you even read the article? Let me spell it out for you : it's the concern that they can survive Iceland not the red herring you are trying to argue.

Let me spell it out for YOU. Mosquitos are millions of years old and well adapted to all environments including the arctic. They cannot, however, fly across oceans very well.

This gave me deja vu about coronavirus


Almost nobody thinks that. You sound like you don't use or are not very familiar with your OS very much tbh
