With the emergence of ChatGPT and other similar AI, it looks like we're potentially on the cusp of Artificial general intelligence: Artificial general intelligence - Wikipedia For those that don't know, AI presents a very real existential threat to humanity. Aside from the obvious concerns...

The TL-DR is this - There is a complex psy-op being run at the moment; but it's mainly (and ironically) conspiracy theorists who are the actual victims. As we all know, social media (Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, Telegram, Snapchat, 8kun, 4chan, Truth Social, Reddit, TikTok, Google etc) and...

Google puts engineer on leave after he claimed an AI chatbot is sentient The chat transcript is full on: As to why this would be a big deal if true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_risk_from_artificial_general_intelligence

I'm a little blown away that this has been green lit, particularly given the controversy around Aussie war crimes in neighboring Afghanistan. For mine, I just cant see a way its safe enough to go there. If I were a player, I doubt I'd go in. What are peoples thoughts on this?

Long story short, these bastards have ripped me (and thousands of other people) off. Its been a year and a half and multiple calls (of up to 5 hours on hold at a time) where they often just place you back on hold and then go home, leaving you there for a few more hours. No matter how polite you...

Yes. Of course. I'm of the view that reality is subjective, however we trick ourselves to think of it as objective.

Asking this for a 46 year old male friend. To be fair I... errr.... 'He' just came back from 4 months in Central America staying in all the big party hostels on the way. While your default status at any hostel at that age as a bloke is always the stereotypical 'creepy old guy in the hostel'...

Lets be clear here. I denounce extremism and terrorism in all its forms. Islamic, ethno-nationalist, left wing and right wing. You name it. But I am getting sick to death of the usual crew trying to play down the threat posed by right wing extremism. We've seen recent examples of far right wing...

Firstly, I support the judgement. Sentencing remarks can be found here (warning, its a distressing read): https://ecourts.justice.wa.gov.au/eCourtsPortal/Decisions/ViewDecision?returnUrl=%2feCourtsPortal%2fDecisions%2fFilter%2fSC%2fRecentDecisions&id=a1edc59b-743f-4cca-bcc5-c76b31379646 Long...

300 people inside. No casualty numbers yet :( Ardern to speak shortly.

Florida this time. 17 dead. High school. Teachers and kids the victim. What's sad is that I logged on in Perth and there wasn't a thread about this. Are we just that desensitized now to the US having these mass shootings every few weeks that we just shake our heads in shock and incredulity at...

Its that time of year. The H&A season draws to a close and we find ourselves out of finals contention, and playing for pride. Supporters of teams who arent in finals, can look on as neutrals watching the final round as the final Top 8 of a topsy turvy season finally sorts itself out. This is...

The Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, and member of the National Security Council, Just openly referred to Israel as a nuclear power on national TV. Anyone else catch this?

With the introduction of the points system, academy clubs were able to stockpile points from later round draft picks to pay for early bids. Until this year, we saw clubs with academy kids available trade down the draft order to gain more points. The AFL changed those rules this year, to stop...

Just wanted to quickly start a thread thanking the WA Blues for a great little soirée last weekend for the Essendon game. For all us orphans out in the Wild West, they do a fantastic job. I highly encourage all WA Blues fans to get down to their functions; the lads and ladies put a lot of...

Shocking news from Paris today. Reports over 150 dead. ISIL have claimed responsibility The old thread on this was shut down due to trolls, bigots and the usual bile directed at Islam generally. I'll be watching it closely and with zero tolerance. ISIL is fair game for your comments. Islam...

Scientists have discovered a new human-like species in a cave in South Africa. The discovery of 15 partial skeletons is the largest ever discovery of primitive human remains in Africa. The individuals are part human and part ape and researchers say that the species called naledi could be a...

We have problems. We have arguably the worst forward line in the comp. Only Melbourne and Brisbane have scored less points than us so far this year, and most of our scores have come from opportunistic goals from midfielders - the fact Tom Bell is our leading goal kicker this year with 10 goals...

After years of mixed messages from the Blues about the clubs direction, including a rather incoherent list management strategy (such as an apparent inability to draft or trade in any decent key forwards since Kennedy was traded and Fevola departed the club, and the questionable wisdom in picking...

Got a burning question about the legal stuff behind the ASADA/ EFC investigation? Do the terms strict liability, Volenti non fit iniuria, waiver, balance of probabilities, onus of proof, evidentiary burden, show cause and so forth have your head in a spin? Wondering what recourse the players...

Let me know. Currently playing a Pathfinder campaign (Wrath of the Righteous). Thursday nights 7 to 11. Im currently GMing. Would love to pick up an experienced GM to alternate weekly so I could crawl from behind the screen and actually play once a fortnight.

Literally 50 meters up the road from where I work. Was outside having a smoke when it all went down. Poor bastard was ran over, decapitated, and then dragged in the middle of the road by these two blokes. Two blokes who then waited 20 minutes for the police to arrive asking us all to take...

A great performance by Majak today. Six goals, and it could easily have been more. How do we see his development from a rookie listed player to where he is now? Where do we see him by the end of the year? How important is he to North Melbournes finals chances? What areas of his game does he...
