Guns have been discussed bunches here. Search here has quirks, though. Won't search for short words like 'guns.' Try 'firearms.'

Here's a fairly recent thread:

RedTide, you have totally misread Bob's post here, how can you possibly believe he's "pro gun" when he wants to dump ALL guns into the sea? Please read this clip from Bob's post and tell me what you think he means by this?

That video should have been embarrassing to anyone who actually looked into AI for 6 months. I was embarrassed for the OP.

120 pages and a goldfish with a tinfoil hat screams to me that we are f*cked.
Now, PLEASE, , , don't assign your beliefs onto my posts, you appear to be misunderstanding my position on the AI discussion, despite my making my position PERFECTLY clear during our last conversation on the subject. Do you remember this;


Redtide said:
"Here's another video for onwardjames and init4fun and whoever thinks we are headed for an "AI Apocalypse".

My response;

"Hi Redtide,

I'm firmly on the side of the discussion that believes AI can be good or evil, depending on what the humans who originate it desire.

Could be "AI Apocalypse" or "AI Eden", a 50 - 50 split on odds from where I sit "




And lastly, the Man's name is "Pio" (Pio1980 to be exact) and not "Poi", , , in reading, both the devil, and complete understanding, are in the details......

"Then Poi (who I think is on this site) posted something about maybe that is because of online radicalization"

@RedTide, No offense taken.

Cool, I was just using it as an example of how easy it can be to misunderstand someone or be otherwise mistaken on online forums.

I never once said "Yep, that's it, AI is gonna kill us all for certain" and that's RedTide's accusation of me. He is misunderstood as to my belief, and hopefully now my previous post has set that straight.

Casino mogul Steve Wynn to pay $10M, cut gambling ties after Nevada sexual misconduct investigation

This guy was Finance Chairman for the RNC and why I am posting this here. As ususal he admitted to no wrongdoing and now lives in Florida where our other famous sexual predator lives. Florida may not be woke, but it certainly attracts the degenerates.

By The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Casino mogul Steve Wynn has ended a yearslong legal fight with Nevada gambling regulators that started with claims of workplace sexual misconduct, agreeing to pay a $10 million fine and cut ties to the industry he helped shape in Las Vegas.

The Nevada Gaming Commission accepted a settlement Thursday to end the state’s look at allegations that led to Wynn’s resignation from his corporate empire in February 2018. Wynn admitted no wrongdoing. The decision was 4-0. Commission Chairwoman Jennifer Togliatti abstained from voting, citing a conflict arising from her previous work as a state court mediator.
Quote:
The fine is the largest ever imposed by the commission, second only to $20 million paid in February 2019 by Wynn’s former company, Wynn Resorts Ltd., for failing to investigate the sexual misconduct claims made against Wynn.

My bad - I totally misinterpreted bobabode. I interpreted "gun grabbing liberal" as "proud liberal gun owner" and then something about an offshore confrontation that didn't make sense.

I remember your good/evil post. It seems like you think artificial general intelligence has already happened and drones can creatively come up with their own solutions: "I can totally understand the drone's thinking, it's mission was to destroy missile silos"

Do you think AGI has happened?

I'm polluting this thread, but it's kind of related to the "drone kills operator" fake news, and the lack of effort we put into disproving our beliefs.

I'm not accusing you of thinking "AI will kill us". I'm worried that you and others in that thread think that AI and AGI are the same thing, and that AGI already exists. Once people believe something like "AGI exists" they don't make much of an effort to disprove that.

Thank You RedTide for wanting to know my thoughts on this, and also thank you for forcing me to think about, and do some reading about, the status of this technology today. I have learned that the tech is not nearly as mature as we're being led to believe, most likely by the people who want us to invest money into it.

Greg Gutfeld Suggests Trump Can Destroy Surveillance Video For Dumbfounding Reason
https://news.yahoo.com/greg-gutfeld-...133302335.html

Quote:
Faux "News" host Greg Gutfeld on Friday severely downplayed new charges alleging that former President Donald Trump attempted to destroy evidence in his classified documents case.

“What’s wrong with that?” Gutfeld said on “The Five.”
Um, because you can't destroy evidence? Whell's World.

^^I am beginning to see what Ricky has posted and this I believe is intentional. This has nothing to do with laws covering investigations and evidence. I am certain that the FBI informed Trump and his staff what not to do.

But for Fox, all they care about is protecting and championing Trump. So as long as enough people repeat that Trump had every right to delete the tapes, that is all that matters.
