Perhaps spending so much time trying to be someone else causes the development of self to suffer?

I personally feel it’s way more autonomous for a computer, which automatically does its tasks that had to be manually instructed years ago.

Many of the more mundane tasks a computer is asked to do these days are automated, to be sure. But they are not driven by AI. Someone still has to program them, set up the batch files, schedule them, etc..

AI is a different matter. It requires a machine that's capable of "learning" and recognizing patterns it was never programmed with.

“Born in 1964 and can confidently state that things are progressing considerably slower than we were told to expect.”

In 1964 our teachers were telling us about the coming ice age and how the world would be without oil by 1970. I was ten.

Our government was telling us with their duck and cover drills to expect immanent incineration. I saw only a bleak “Boy and His Dog” type future. Little did I know it would be made bleak by liberals regulating our vibrant economy into third world status.

Climate Change is NOT “obviously happening”!

The Population Control crowd who are pushing this agenda don’t even have the integrity to be embarrassed about changing the name from “Global Warming” after eighteen years of proof there is none!

This is all about shutting down capitalism, energy development, industry, and personal freedom.

There are selfish people who don’t want the third world countries developing energy or economic independence for fear they’ll wise up and demand control of their own natural resources.

By supporting the fraud of man-made climate change, he is unwittingly supporting a political agenda against his stated interest in helping the truly needy.

That was JOHN Hurt. William Hurt was in “The Kiss of the Spider Woman,” “Altered States,” “The Big Chill,” etc.

A Harvard scientist conducts experiments on himself with a hallucinatory drug and an isolation chamber that may be causing him to regress genetically.

Aside from the Harvard Scientist part, it appears that Hurt has been living the rest of the role from "Altered States".

It think Global Warning is a result of artificial intelligence.

Full Definition of ARTIFICIAL

1 : humanly contrived often on a natural model : man-made

(an artificial limb) (artificial diamonds) 2 a : having existence in legal, economic, or political theory

b : caused or produced by a human and especially social or political agency (artificial barriers of discrimination — R. C. Weaver)

3 obsolete : artful, cunning

4 a : lacking in natural or spontaneous quality (an artificial smile) b : imitation, sham

And also Artificial Intelligence, a a movie that featured both massive flooding due to Global Warming and the extinction of humanity due to artificial intelligence. The movie was long and depressing. I am not certain why it didn't do better with critics.

Don't be so harsh. It was the basis of an encyclical.

There will be no self-aware androids. No computer program can possess intelligence. No human will ever be able to write a program that successfully simulates human intelligence.

Thought experiment: can a human write a program that can conceive of and write a program that successfully simulates human intelligence?

Poor William, global warming is so passé, it is global climate change, which encompasses so many more things Bolshies can bray at.
