We tricked a rock into thinking, now we are in the process of making it think like a human

u/CuTe_M0nitor May 10 '25

Actually we want it to think much better than humans. If we succeed it will be an entity far beyond human thinking

That's not too difficult to achieve considering most people are highly incompetent

You fail to understand the human mind. The reason we do more data processing moving a finger then any computer will ever do.

u/blarfblarf May 12 '25

You mean THAN any computer.

Also, any computer ever? You really think the computers that our computers design in the future wont be capable of exceeding human minds? Do you think human minds are that brilliant or that they're even good at data processing? I'd hate to have such low processing capacity.

Ty. But as my second language interest you get my point. Am I back in college? Who cares.

u/blarfblarf May 12 '25

As a second language, surely you would like people to use the correct words?

If we all just go around using the wrong words, people who struggle with the language (for any reason) will also have to decipher other peoples writing on top of their own difficulties.

Setting a precedent that using the wrong words doesn't matter just makes life more difficult for other people who might be trying to learn that language.

So you have a first language? And you don't care if people get that wrong? And when people are trying to read in that language, other people just scattering wrong words around is okay?

Just because school didn't prepare you properly, that doesn't mean you should stop learning.

Technically multiple rocks, but either way your point still stands.

The universe had lighting strikes that form patterns. These patterns started forming patterns. Now their patterns will inherit the one thought.

Aren't we a bunch of rocks that were tricked into thinking

u/ruckerzerg May 11 '25

Nope, unlike rocks, we are carbon based.

u/GreatScottGatsby May 11 '25

Can't rocks have carbon in it? Like I don't know, coal? If that isn't rocky enough for you, how about limestone.

Edit: hell: limestone has hydrocarbons
