@thestrangest are you really that helpful in real?

A bit more

@thestrangest well I'd say u can never beat a human over google. Google is just a machine. But human knowledge is impossible to replace.

Google is a collection of human knowledge

[TheStrangest]

@girlnextdoor therefore it s better than just human knowledge

[BloodDrunk]

@girlnextdoor Google is human knowledge hahah

[TheStrangest]

@blooddrunk exactly

@GirlNextDoor
the post was originally about ounces really, aaand that's still unanswered
but hey @TheStrangest thanks for the great insight on the google machinations and also appreciate the lecture on value of time. i see you've supported that with hard evidence made out of snippets, really do appreciate that much effort from you
definitely you would have wasted much more time copy pasting the answer from google then get into this argument

[jessica.mormont]

@thestrangest the genius you are!

@jessica-mormont 16 ounces in a pound (unit of mass), 8 fl. ounces in a cup (unit of volume)

@GirlNextDoor Usually one becomes friends first before asking for pictures, that seems to have worked for me. Also, knowledge and wisdom are different things, I think what you mean is Google can't replace human wisdom (which they are working on via artificial intelligence AI).

@i-am-male many thanks, that's what was required

[TheStrangest]

@jessica-mormont sarcasm is unbecoming of you young chad. The point is fucking go to google for these types of things

[TheStrangest]

@i-am-male AI is a dangerous thing

@thestrangest As is global warming, and pandemics, and giant space rocks.

@thestrangest awww poor foul mouthed baby, i apologize for hitting that nerve so hard....
may peace and tranquility find you and google be your guide

Artificial Intelligence is a much bigger danger than all of those

You are very smug and not funny at all

@thestrangest Depends where you're living ;)

[TheStrangest]

@i-am-male how so?

@thestrangest Hurricane season has already gotten a lot worse for those living along the East coast, antibiotic resistance is becoming a big issue and bioterrorism will become a real threat now that CRISPR is accessible to virtually anyone - which is a version of gene editing that even dummies can access and afford. Imagine creating a virus that combines ebola, the flu, and HIV, that's possible now. Giant space rocks wiped out the dinosaurs, I don't think ruling them out is a good idea.

AI is limited by electricity, so even if machines take over the world, we would just have to pull the plug on electricity and wait for them to run out of juice. Or, go somewhere with high humidity so they'll rust.

You do realise that we're talking about what more likely to end human life. If global warming was the reason you do realise that'll take at least another 100 years from now but with AI 25 years is the minimum

antibiotic resistance is becoming a big issue and bioterrorism will become a real threat now that CRISPR is accessible to virtually anyone - which is a version of gene editing that even dummies can access and afford. Imagine creating a virus that combines ebola, the flu, and HIV, that's possible now. Giant space rocks wiped out the dinosaurs, I don't think ruling them out is a good idea.

1st You do not realise that as much as CRISPR would be widespread in the near future, these types of big genetic modifications are still tricky. It will take another 30 years before bioterrorism could possibly become a thing right? And even then that wouldn't easily constitute the end of all human life because just as easily CRISPR could be used to create a life erasing virus it could be used to create an antidote. An astroid hitting earth in the next 100 years would have been detected by now and by then we would probably be an interplanetary species.

AI is limited by electricity, so even if machines take over the world, we would just have to pull the plug on electricity and wait for them to run out of juice.

That is not how it works. Not only would cutting all electricity all over a country immediately result in a lot of deaths because of our dependence on water, food and other things that could only be accessed using electricity if that's what you meant by cutting electricity but AI would definitely not be dumb enough to somehow let us just cut off electricity, AI would most likely be.

Or, go somewhere with high humidity so they'll rust.

Do i really have to explain how stupid this is. We Most electronics are already made out of materials that can't rust so why would we degrade quality of materials for AI
