Wayfriend, So the reason is "wanting an audience" ? Still dodging. Why didn't you invite this audience to this other forum so that they could high-five your posts when you make them there? Nothing you have said requires discussing politics HERE. The corollary is: if there is a reason it ne...

I think it can be justified in very rare circumstances. For example Pee Wee Gaskins. The man was a serial killer and killed another inmate while in prison for life. His death was necessary to prevent him from killing again.

No, Z, I asked several questions. You cherry picked one. Create a forum somewhere else. Invite the people you want. Done. The fact that you haven't done this already leads me to doubt your sincerity here. You seem to want something else. Wayfriend, My political viewpoints have moderated significant...

I enjoyed the Tank. But that’s me.

So… is the Bing Chatbot… an actual strong AI or just a machine mimicing human speach patterns?

In my earbuds opinon we cannot call anything “strong AI� until we have reasonably specific testable definition for consciousness/sentience/sapiance itself. I don’t see that coming in the near future.

Well… interesting. I got busy with work then I changed jobs and moved. Then got let go from the new job… found a new job then COVID hit… it’s been an interesting few years. I wasn’t fond of the losing one term twice impeached former President who lives in Florida and loves the Russian dict...

I've been away for quite a while. What happened to the political discussion subforum?

Boy was I wrong in my assessment of this race. Zarathustra called it right. I hope I'm wrong about who I believe Trump is too.

I've agreed the "War on Drugs" has been a waste of resources for going on 30 years.

Here's a police shooting that I didn't need a Google search to find: www.cnn.com/2016/09/29/us/louisiana-body-cam-shooting/index.html They killed a 6 year old claiming that they were justified because the driver of the vehicle rammed their car. There is nothing on the Body cam showing an officer's c...

You're wrong Hashi, no lives matter. That's the crux of it. (I sorta what I think SerScot was getting at.

Yup, my problem is that to Police, Police lives are more valuable than everyone else.

Zarathustra,+ The "blue wall of silence" doesn't shield them. The white lady cop involved in a recent shooting was just charged. Darren Wilson faced a grand jury. The cops in Baltimore were charged without any evidence whatsoever. Justice is served. And when it is, people don't talk about ...

Soulbiter, Cops are people too. I think we go after the bad ones. We indict and jail those that break the law (just like citizens) and people need to quit using these protests as a means to attack others, loot, and pillage. The very next time a person tells me that blacks cant be racist Im going to ...

Zarathustra: Pursuant to your request. A white kids shot by police: www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/08/what-i-did-after-police-killed-my-son-110038 filmingcops.com/i-held-my-son-while-a-cop-shot-him-to-death-pastor-devastated-after-cop-murders-his-mentally-ill-child/ www.cnn.com/2014/01/07/just...

Rioting anything is never great. But mobs get attention.

body cam video? That always clears up the situation. I am starting to believe that this should be a requirement for all officers for all arrests for the entirety of the encounter. But it's sad that it's come to this. Definitely sad; however, body cams will protect everyone, both suspects and police...

Avatar,

I suspect the officer paniked and killed a man.

I got to go to GRRM's "Hugo Losers Party". It was great.

SB, Not that I have heard. However now that looters and thugs have burned down multiple businesses and vehicles in Milwaukee because BLM jumped to conclusions about another white cop killing an innocent black man, apparently we have a great 8 X 10 body cam shot of the thug turned around pointing a g...
