Press aide Abigail Jackson unloaded on the anonymous creators. “Wow, these liberal activists masquerading as ‘artists,’ are dumber than I thought!” “I’ve tricked them into taking down their ugly sculpture and replacing it with a beautiful video of the President’s legendary dance moves that will bring joy and inspiration to all tourists traversing our National Mall. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

But then you might have a chance to argue your second amendment right when you shoot a masked kidnapper.

Ngl 1 is pretty furry. I remember the autistic person at my high school would sometimes just wear a tail and it felt so weird. The meowing and purring did not help.

Yes. You learned not to touch a hot stove either from experience or a warning. That fear was immortalized by your understanding that it would hurt. An AI will tell you not to touch a hot stove (most of the time) because the words “hot” “stove” “pain” etc… pop up in its dataset together millions of times. As things are, they’re barely comparable. The only reason people keep arguing is because the output is very convincing. Go and download pytorch and read some stuff, or Google it. I’ve even asked deepseek for you:

Can AI learn and understand like people?

AI can learn and perform many tasks similarly to humans, but its understanding is fundamentally different. Here’s how AI compares to human learning and understanding:

1. Learning: Similar in Some Ways, Different in Others

• AI Learns from Data: AI (especially deep learning models) improves by processing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and adjusting its internal parameters.
• Humans Learn More Efficiently: Humans can generalize from few examples, use reasoning, and apply knowledge across different contexts—something AI struggles with unless trained extensively.

2. Understanding: AI vs. Human Cognition

• AI “Understands” Statistically: AI recognizes patterns and makes predictions based on probabilities, but it lacks true comprehension, consciousness, or awareness.
• Humans Understand Semantically: Humans grasp meaning, context, emotions, and abstract concepts in a way AI cannot (yet).

3. Strengths & Weaknesses

✔ AI Excels At:

• Processing huge datasets quickly.
• Recognizing patterns (e.g., images, speech).
• Automating repetitive tasks.

❌ AI Falls Short At:

• Common-sense reasoning (e.g., knowing ice melts when heated without being explicitly told).
• Emotional intelligence (e.g., empathy, humor).
• Creativity and abstract thinking (though AI can mimic it).

4. Current AI (Like ChatGPT) is a “Stochastic Parrot”

• It generates plausible responses based on training but doesn’t truly “know” what it’s saying.
• Unlike humans, it doesn’t have beliefs, desires, or self-awareness.

5. Future Possibilities (AGI)

• Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—a hypothetical AI with human-like reasoning—could bridge this gap, but we’re not there yet.

Conclusion:

AI can simulate learning and understanding impressively, but it doesn’t experience them like humans do. It’s a powerful tool, not a mind.

Would you like examples of where AI mimics vs. truly understands?

It’s literally in the phrase “statically optimized.” This is like arguing for your preferred deity. It’ll never be proven but we have evidence to make our own conclusions. As it is now, AI doesn’t learn or understand the same way humans do.

Google search results aren’t deterministic but I wouldn’t say it “learns” like a person. Algorithms with pattern detection isn’t the same as human learning.

I’ve hand calculated forward propagation (neural networks). AI does not learn, its statically optimized. AI “learning” is curve fitting. Human learning requires understanding, which AI is not capable of.

I am educated on this. When an ai learns, it takes an input through a series of functions and are joined at the output. The set of functions that produce the best output have their functions developed further. Individuals do not process information like that. With poor exploration and biasing, the output of an AI model could look identical to its input. It did not “learn” anymore than a downloaded video ran through a compression algorithm.

Death note would be impossible in current year. Like, your test use would have to be on a huge name otherwise your phone analytics would super rat you out. I can just imaging light starting to get ads for burner phones and VPNs.

Guardian claims this is the first death while transporting from jail to federal detention. It does not mention that 10 have already died in this year alone, more than any other year and we’re only half way in.

Know your rights:

• Remain calm
• Do not speak. “I choose to remain silent. I wish to speak to a lawyer.”
• Do not open you door. Demand to see a signed judicial warrant, not an ICE administrative warrant.
• Do not sign anything. It might an agreement to deportation. Only sign anything with assistance from a lawyer.
• Always carry documentation. Prepare guardianship authorization. Notify emergency contacts.
• Record interactions if safe. Do not physically resist if entry is forced, “I do not consent to your entry.” Do not interfere with an arrest.
• Notify local rapid response network.

Prayer is a religious pacifier. When I give my daughter a pacifier, literally nothing has changed about her situation, but she feels better when she has it.

I don’t know what’s worse. Deporting children to a country they’ve never seen or deporting people who’ve been here longer than some of us have been alive.

You can come on a visa, seek asylum, overstay. It’s not improper entry or illegal presence, it’s exempt for asylum seekers.

ICE is arresting people who are coming legally. People who never chose to come here. People who’ve done everything right.

Cancer valley? 22 chemical explosions in Texas, 8 in Louisiana? And the agency had no authority to impose fines? Just warnings?

I think I actually see the semblance of reasoning in closing this agency, in a really twisted backwards kind of way. It costs money and seems to have very little jurisdiction. Corporations gain nothing by exploding their facilities.

Time is finite. Maybe I’ll hit cognitive decline sooner. How many seconds, minutes, hours do I save? Will it offset?

Might have been me. Looks like leaded gas is back on the menu boys.

I grew up in the Midwest as a child of a Mexican and American. By 16, I was regurgitating Ben Shapiro anti-immigration rhetoric. Why?

The same reason anyone is racist. I grew up around it. The people I knew and loved were white and that was reflected in the media I was exposed to. Subliminal messages and implied suggestions over entire childhood. They might claim they don’t like the illegal, but the truth is that they’ve internalized the hatred of the culture they identify with.

That’s a lot and it’s not even every protest.

AI can’t know that other instances of it are trying to “break” people. It’s also disingenuous to exclude that the AI also claimed that those 12 individuals didn’t survive. They left it out because obviously the AI did not kill 12 people. It doesn’t support the narrative. Don’t misinterpret my point beyond critiquing the clearly exaggerated messaging here.

Haven’t lost a partner before, but I’ve experienced the feeling of questioning my value. Know others in similar places. Don’t overthink it. It won’t make it better. I’ve found it’s better to act and reflect then mope and regret.
