  Top AI inventor Geoffrey Hinton reluctantly concluded that AI will probably humanity fairly soon

  by slimboyfat in

  geoffrey hinton, major inventor of artificial intelligence: .

  “if you take the existential risk seriously, as i now do—i used to think it was way off, but now i think it’s serious, and fairly close—it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further, but i think it’s completely naïve to think that would happen.

  there’s no way to make that happen.

  Hey Slim:

  You're probably correct. It may be by the years 2030's sometime that AI maybe the dominant side.

  The way you see exponentially growth in electronics and technology and stuff.

  By mid-century,,,it is rumored that one could not differentiate between human and artificial intelligence.

  Does the Governing Body already know that Jehovah (the name) came from Babylon the Great?

  by Chevelle in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'll start by stating the obvious... according to the watchtower, the catholic church is a huge part of babylon the great which is led by satan and his demons.

  raymundus martini, a catholic monk (who "represents" babylon the great to some extent), woke up one day in the 13th century and decided to alter yhwh so it can be easily pronounced.

  hence the spanish-ish version of yhwh was created... jehova... (sounds something like this in spanish: heh-o-va).

  Thanks for that link.

  I didn't know such a thing existed. For the world to see the Borgs blunders, lies and cover-ups.

  Thanks a bunch!!!!

  My old congregation is being shuttered

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.

  it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.

  the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

  ...as more and more JWs and PIMIs become disillusioned and pissed from being uprooted and moved around or shuttered.

  Because there is none.

  No evidence that Christ became invisibly present in 1914.

  1290 jw congregations have been deleted since 4th dec 2022. i have a full map so you can explore active/deleted congs, and also orphaned halls https://analytics.jws-library.one/viewmap.html.

  many of the deletions in the usa appear to be foreign language groups.

  It can be particularly devastating to "wake - up"",, so to speak.

  Here's where the "sunk cost"" fallacy kicks-in. Especially after not having children,,forgoing marriages/relationships,,,education or loss of friends or family from a deadly blood policy.

  That's when waking-up can be dangerous.

  People have to want to ""wake"" on their own. After sacrificing life/education for a "false prophet"
