Well, if an alien entity did give us some new technology that we didn't have the science to build or would be an epistemological break and didn't explain it, it would still exist and it would be the product of something we don't understand.

I don't get your point, are you trying to say that if we don't know how it works, then the entity that created it is magical or something?

An engineer would have been restricted by our current knowledge and processes. An "AI" doesn't have that kind of hindrance.

Because your point is that it was a fluke, my point is that it was the product of a new kind of way of "thinking" and resolving problems. And compared it to how the human brain solves and resolved problems. We know the parts that are activated, we know how they communicate and transfer data but we have no way to explain how it all produces thoughts and dreams and whatever other processes our brains use to create new things. Or we would have recreated it already.

What I'm saying is that we might have created something new that we don't know how it does what it does, except is - very crudely explained - the product of probabilities and that's ok. We don't have to know how it does what it does, it will still do it.

We also know how "AI" works and how it creates its outputs in the same way we know the brain.

Don't try to equate having fields of study and experts is definitive knowledge of something, that's being fallacious.

Well, that's kind of like the human brain isn't it? You don't really know how it does its thing but it does it.

Whereas a born American can just be accused of terrorism and be thrown in jail for god knows how many years?

If you're not willing to be the change then it doesn't need changing.

Not my grandfather. He had come through colds, several cases of flu and even pneumonia. COVID got him.

That's great for you. My grandfather died from it. And he hadn't died from the common cold or a flu.

Interstellar. Slow, stupid and the ending. That fucking idiotic ending. I still regret the 3 hours of my life I lost to it.

I haven't played this game in over 30 years. I don't remember the graphics being this good... 🤔
