Trump already increasing oil output and he hasn't even taken office yet.

That's a terrible thing...because Trump

Hey Rob.
I'm still waiting for your response to my post #5975. That's where I gave you all the facts about a ***** being human and even your pro-abortion biologists agree. I guess your silence tells us that you know you were proven wrong.

I actually have a biology degree and have also given him the actual definitions he could have easily obtained if he just wanted to look and he still rambles on, trolling everyone. After all, anyone who voted for Trump has ruined his life.

On the topic of AI. I will say that it can be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. The way AI is being used to mimic people and crack code, is really dangerous. For example, how hard would it be to call you using your bosses cell number and his voice? They already have that capability. That person could ask you for classified information and you would free answer all the questions because he sounds like your boss and his cell number shows up on your phone.

How does politics snake its way into everything? This is a site for audiophiles. You should feel welcome and be helpful regardless of the color of your hat. Who gives a... who cares what your stance is here. Are you going to not share audio knowledge if I feel differently about gun control or where federal funding should go? That's low. Politics has divided us since day one. Let's not argue over irrelevant sh...

Show me actual proof that validates the idea that I don’t know as much about the subject as you do. I mean real evidence, not things chiseled into stone by flea-infested people 4,000 years ago. Let me quote myself again from our last conversation about AI: 'If AI were as smart as you claim, it would eliminate humanity as a whole.' We are simply not efficient when it comes to repetitive tasks. The easiest way to do that would be nuclear war. You can’t simultaneously claim there’s some super-advanced AI and insist that it has guardrails put in place by the elites. So much for being 'super-advanced.' Also, it’s rather hypocritical to say you're worried about AI but not nuclear war, which actually has the machinery in place to make it happen.

Why do you think it would want to eliminate humanity as a whole? Do you know what organoid intelligence is?

That's why I'm saying maybe you don't study enough what the globalists have been saying who have been planning this for decades and decades. I can't prove what you know and don't know, I'm just saying that based off of what you are saying. The proof is in what they are saying and what is being done scientifically and you can see the agenda. What you jokingly refer to as far as glyphs and dead languages, those hold the religion of the elites, such as how the "gods" designed humanity to work for them, the globalists want to do the same, but in a computer processor way. They want to design themselves to be superhumans by merging with technology, eliminate many people, and also enslave some people.

Hey Kyle.
We all talk normal in the other threads, and we don't allow our bias to interfere with our advice with car audio. To be honest, just like every other online forum, much worse arguments take place in the main rooms. We come into these "more private" rooms to blow off some steam and talk about other topics. Honestly, you can't talk about car audio all day. You might get a few posts in before the topic is over.

Also, we don't just talk about politics in here. We also talk about science, history, etc...

Old_Slapper is right on with that. This is where all the fun talk takes place.

Hey Rob.
I'm still waiting for your response to my post #5975. That's where I gave you all the facts about a ***** being human and even your pro-abortion biologists agree. I guess your silence tells us that you know you were proven wrong.

I never once claimed a human ***** is not human. I asked you to show us where I said that, or even inferred it.
You failed to do so, yet still accuse me of doing it. Why is that?

I also very clearly said that a ***** is not a baby, in response to all the cries of "killing babies".
In legal terms, a ***** is not a legal person until it is born.
In medical terms, a ***** is a ***** until it is born.

And I asked you if you consider a zygote a "living human". It went something like this:
Do you think a zygote is a living human? Do you think blastocytes are a living human?

Would you consider this "a living human"?

How about this?

I don't see the answers to those questions in post #5975, just your claim that "Dude! I have provided you proof on everything." of which you did no such thing.

So go ahead and answer the questions above.

Not unless you voted the Supreme ticket...

The answer to your question is literally in the statement you quoted. You do understand the difference between practical research and theoretical research, right? Because, again, this is something we went over the last time I talked to you about AI. I’ll use the same example I used last time: 'Just because there is a theoretical way to make a warp drive, it does not mean or equate to there being any practical way of doing so.

You're 110% correct. Let me correct my previous post:

Trump is already increasing C02 output and global warming and he hasn't even taken office.

You failed to do so, yet still accuse me of doing it. Why is that

Either your just a troll, or you're so deranged you don't even remember the things you say.
Do you remember saying: "Here, I'll REPEAT IT: " A ***** is not a living human until it is born. It is a *****."
It's not a living human. It's a ***** attached to the uterus of the woman carrying it. A human *****?" If not, it was your post #5921.

Apology, please.

I also very clearly said that a ***** is not a baby, in response to all the cries of "killing babies".
In legal terms, a ***** is not a legal person until it is born.
In medical terms, a ***** is a ***** until it is born.

So you prefer to follow the law over following science? That's very "two-faced" of you.

Even California considers a ***** to be legal human.

Another apology please.

And I asked you if you consider a zygote a "living human". It went something like this:
Do you think a zygote is a living human? Do you think blastocytes are a living human?

I guess this is one of your deflection techniques to avoid having to admit your wrong.

Well, if you look at the medical terms and the science, like you all like to repeat, the answer would be "no" to both. A zygote is a just a fertilized egg. A blastocytes is the forming of cells after the egg was fertilized. An embryo is after the cells have come together.

Would you consider this "a living human"?

Nope. The cells have not combined yet.

How about this?
View attachment 61895

Yes, that is called an embryo. The cells have all come together.

I don't see the answers to those questions in post #5975, just your claim that "Dude! I have provided you proof on everything." of which you did no such thing.

Oh, I did. You just refuse to admit it because you would have to admit you were wrong.

So go ahead and answer the questions above.

Just did.

I'll wait for my apology now.

How is the research theoretical when they're actually doing it? I understand it may not be publicly deployed yet, but I've seen a bunch of what they're doing in the labs and it's terrifying. We're gonna have to agree to disagree, but to say I can't worry about AI or that is dumb is dumb itself. You aren't really disproving what I'm saying either. My thoughts on this subject come from a very, very deep place. Don't play word semantics or nuances. They are absolutely trying to hook humanity up to the Internet and already can. Duh. There's a whole science behind it dude like it isn't a guessing game

Below is a very good read on transhumanism:

"According to Kurzweil, we would soon reach the Singularity, when we would be transformed into ‘Spiritual Machines’..."

Rob,
Just admit you're here trolling us. We'll take it and admit you did a good job doing it. Don't say you're not trolling us because nobody could be as obstinate as you are. Even when scientific facts, from the left, are put in front of you, you still deny it to be true.

Games over bud. You got us. You're trolling and we fell for it.
