'God' is likely atheistic (I, an atheist, shall likely become a 'God', no trolling)

Welcome

You forgot to factor in us all blowing ourselves up because we're idiots.

Welcome !

Damn.... I feel so puny compared to your godliness.
Ah... a god with poor eyesight! That's a first!

Welcome aboard.

protip: when posting photos of yourself, make sure they're in focus... oh right... damn... poor eyesight... shit. errr... create a computer program that scans your photos for high spatial frequencies (a standard Canny edge detector should be enough). There's some threshold of number of pixels which are representative of edges below which the image is considered out of focus. Do it!

That or wear glasses, like Clark Kent.

Welcome. The idea of robots becoming more intelligent than humans is an idea I dislike. I'd rather have us become one with robots, i.e. cyborgs. But then, in a sense, what fun would that be? Would the fastest runner be the fastest not because of hardwork nor talent, but because he bought his fucking legs? What madness is that!

I can't tell if you're trolling, joking or serious. I'm hoping it's the second one.

So.... Jordan. I personally don't think anything non-omnipotent and non-omniscient that didn't create the universe is worthy of being called "God". I consider a "God" to be a supernatural deity and such things do not exist.

Perhaps one day there will be godlike artificial intelligences... but they will not be "Gods" as far as I'm concerned.

It's similar, perhaps, to how I don't consider mere normal human willpower "free will". If it was I think the whole free will debate wouldn't exist in the first place. The compatabilists essentially came along after realizing we don't have free will and labelled the will we do have as "free will". Like "Oh fuck if the future is determined then there is no free will... nevermind let's call the normal human freedom our will has "free will" anyways even when "free will" refered to freedom from determinism."

Like... labelling things that aren't god "god" doesn't make those things god any more than labelling our wills "free will" makes our wills free will

And labelling quantum "empty" space teeming with activity as "nothing" doesn't mean the universe came from nothing...

And calling what we now call atoms "atoms" doesn't make them indivisible which is what "atom" originally meant

Anyways, to the forums! I shall give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're a genuine member however trollish you seem. Don't break the rules, enjoy AF and stick around [emoji106]

Tradition is often wrong. (Only the theistic mind adheres to the concept of omniscient, omnipotent deities)
Thusly, on statistical observation, God/Creator is likely properly, naturally definable as stipulated in my original post.


I haven't any energies for trolling.
I do body building, so I am quite tired (albeit mentally vibrant) whilst compacting these threads (at days' ends).

I thank you.

I report that general ai is likely, rather than certain, for we may end ourselves, or encounter some separate extinction level event.

Welcome !

Nonsense, we are all likely godly (non-omniscient, non-omnipotent therein); for we all (unless brain damaged) contain roughly 100 billions neurons, with trillions of synapses...

On statistical observation, such is likely inevitable (regardless of likes/dislikes).
Brain based models have already equaled/exceeded human performance on tasks/task groups, ranging from language translation to disease diagnosis.
As hardware approaches human level performance (roughly 10^15 flops) the task domain broadens accordingly.
Eventually, the task entirety shall be non-human machine executable.

The media was initially of film descent. 
The image extractor automatically rotated such.
I decided to maintain it's quaint rotation.
