Google and Apple are US companies though. I’m not aware of any international organizations simply just accepting the new name like that and I doubt the people in Mexico for example will start calling it that either. It seems like people are making out this to be a bigger issue than it is. Anyone is free to keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico either. I still call Facebook, Twitter and Turkey by their original names too and I’ve yet to encounter a single person not understanding what I’m talking about.

What’s the problem with calling it Gulf of America? To me that just seems like an objectively better name. You guys do realise that Mexico is in America too, right?

I don’t personally see the point of getting a diagnosis. I’d still have ADHD even after the diagnosis and the idea of starting to medicate it is not something I’m too thrilled about.

I use a foam insulation board as a cutting surface so I can safely cut into it.

My issue is that I always forget to account for the thickness of my DIY track saw guide, so I end up only cutting about two-thirds of the way through my piece.

No, I don’t think consciousness is necessary for intelligence either. I just couldn’t help but comment on that because as a subject it’s close to my heart.

Same with something like conscious. We do not understand it well enough for any definition to fit.

I think that a good definition for consciousness is the subjective experience of it feeling like something to be. It’s the fact that there’s qualia to existence. I don’t see a reason for why we would need to solve the hard problem of consciousness in order to define a term we use to describe it. As far as I know we don’t understand gravity either but everyone still understands that term.

According to most dictionary definitions for “intelligence” the bar is quite low for a system to be considered “intelligent”

• The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
• the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
• the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
• the act of understanding
• the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason
• It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

AI is in no way synonymous with LLMs.

Used to be saturday and sunday but now as self-employed my day off besides the weeked is when ever I feel like so or don’t have any work orders.

Reading the news and posting angry messages on social media isn’t fighting. If you’re doing something beyond that, good for you - but the vast majority of so-called “activists” aren’t. They’re just venting anger and spreading it to others while achieving nothing worthwhile.

If my goal were to “change the world,” I’d probably live in despair too. But it’s not. Instead, I run a small local business where I help people with their everyday technical challenges. I get to make a tangible difference in people’s lives and see their gratitude firsthand. Life has never felt more meaningful.
