  • Yeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That’s a lot of computers at this moment, it’s just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions “AI”. But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as “AI?” Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?

    At that point what’s the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.




  • Yeah, you can’t just lay down electricity, especially not practical electricity it requires a ton of diverse knowledge from many different studies. What I would do is give them the concept of using steam to power to spin wheels or create an engine. Then use gear ratios to show them how to scale it up. Idk if they had found neodymium magnets back then, but teach them how to use them to heat iron by spinning them on the end of a steam engine and you’re starting to cook with electricity.

    Again, getting to electricity from there is still a whole fucking chore. But hopefully you could rely on science to advance way faster from your advances than if you weren’t there.

    Actually, the most important thing you could give the greeks is the concept of the modern scientific method. That shit was invented so late and just skyrocketed science (literally) the moment it was refined.

    Just write a book about everything you remember about a null hypothesis, randomized blind trials, control experiments, variable control etc. if you can squeeze any bit of statistics out of your brain, even if it’s just making a graph, you probably advance the world by thousands of years.

    Chill, I was making a joke about how it was technically ambiguous what group the op was talking about. They could also have been talking about the sticker maker group.

    Edit: they weren’t, I know they were being bigoted but I thought it was funny to assume they were talking about pants pissers.







  • Stalinism only seems different because it’s named after the dude, maybe fascism is a more generic term. All the person your responding to is saying is that it’s as natural an argument to say that communism leads naturally to fascism (honestly in a really similar argument to yours by saying the state isn’t distinct from the ruling class and that power naturally condenses to the top in the system.)

    I could make a million arguments getting into the nuance of it, as I’m sure you could too. That’s just what the person is saying.
