In my country a gas station clerk told a customer during the height of COVID that he would need to wear a face mask to shop there. To which the customer went home, got a gun and shot the clerk, because he believed into whatever the current mask related conspiracy was at the time.
Other than that there are probably countless examples of people forgoing legitimate medical care, because they believe that drinking enough orange juice will cure their cancer or some shit.
If you want to get political I bet there are also countless examples of people hurting someone else or getting hurt over believing some misinformation

You would have to have negative mass, so no.

They are definitely not effective and therefore the risks outweighs the benefit but after 4 years it does not seem nearly as bad as /pol/ claims.
If it permanently integrates into dna like HIV, wouldn't there be a way to see and measure or how much spike protein is in the blood? The body would keep producing the spikes until the victim dies, but if no spike protein can be found in the blood after couple months, even in max vaxxed patients, wouldn't that show that it doesn't integrate? Would dna integration even be possible without the needed enzymes? I also doubt that every single doctor in the world would keep their mouth shut just because they are afraid to risk losing their job for a crime this massive, except for few thousand. If they would notice something very wrong in covid vaccinated patients, I doubt by now that there would be no bombshell hardcore evidence that would cause a shitstorm if it really is that bad.
If I am not wrong, immune system is a good indication of how much a person is at risk of getting cancer, everyone I know who got the vax are not unhealtier and their immune systems are as good as before.

Ok, forget about the spirals. Two currents traveling in parallel will attract each other. Two currents traveling in opposite directions will repel.

Does the same hold true for electrons moving in free space, or do these so-called "magnetic fields" only exist when electrons are traveling in wires?

Give it up for the heart everyone?(equal to the mind).
>>
>>16189701
no. heart and mind have two different functions and its not to give one up for the other, but to balance it out.
>>
The heart knows as much as the mind, the mind makes the heart look simple and has many of something while the heart is like the mind and has one of something. Your one move is a heart thing, your using of another thing, the mind.

Call me a retard if you want, but I don't get it:
On one hand I keep hearing that "a true artificial intelligence is perhaps a century away" or "it would require a Manhattan project times ten" and "Chat GPT is less smart than a rat" "it is to the human mind as a 1870s mechanical calculator is to a Iphone".
Yet, on the other hand, for decades I heard that passing the Turing test was to be the threshold where AIs would have reached the level of human intelligence and it seems that Chat GPT passes it with flying colours.
Sure, even the best versions tends to hallucinate sometimes, but otherwise it doesn't seem like there is much intellectual tasks it can't take or would plausibly be able to take in the near future.
If we put aside stuff like the Moravec paradox, what's the difference between a GPT and a human mind, or a true general AI, from the pure perspectives of its abilities?

>it honestly feels like the only things that's missing it to "plug in" different subsystems to the model
But the whole point of AGI is, that it is supposed to be able to perform well on tasks it was never trained on or programmed for.
Just like you can come up with a strategy for any game you've never played once someone explains the rules to you

>Solving chess problems like these is a trivial task for an AI
Ackshually I think AIs are really shit at algorithmic problem solving. There have been computers built specifically to play chess or go or whatever, but these are not AIs. Meanwhile AIs are no better at chess than I am, which is to say not good at all.
>>
>>16189626
>but these are not AIs
AIs are just decision makers powered by machine learning. The natural language support of LLMs is an extra add-on feature, not the standard and not required.
>>
>>16189626
>AIs are really shit at algorithmic problem solving
Think again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaZero
The latest deep learning AIs are able not just to beat any human at chess, but they can also beat any humans at games which where regular programs previously couldn't beat humans (like go), AND they can do so without being specifically programmed for it, but instead by learning by themselves how to play.
