  i was intrigued by a forecast made by damo academy, the in-house technology and science research arm of china's, huge e-commerce business,, alibaba.. they seem to be predicting the following technology trends for 2019 and that artificial intelligence would continue to be the ho area of progress.. so what do any techies hanging out here think?

  safe predictions?

  wild guesses?

  1. Plausible.

  2. Couple of things: Is the "so-called Turing Test" actually a test of a "machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equals that of a human"? Also, note "in certain areas"

  3. Not familiar with this.
  

  4. No.
  

  5. "accelerating the arrival of AI and the quantum-computing era" -- how specifically?
  

  6. Ok, but 5g has its limitations
  

  7. Yes.
  

  8. "fixed-route public transport and unmanned delivery around commercial buildings and campuses" Plausible.
  

  9. Plausible.
  

  10. Plausible.
  

  Yes AI is "hot" and there's a lot of cool stuff out there; but TBH, the math/algorithms underpinning it all hasn't advanced much since the 80s (the implementation/hardware has, though)

  Was disfellowshipping really sanctioned by God? Please share your honest views according to your Bible views

  what were the writers of the bible telling christians when they wrote : “stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man.” (1 corinthians 5:11) regarding everyone who “does not remain in the teaching of the christ,” we read: “do not receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him.

  for the one who says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.” (2 john 9-11.

  Even if the person has taken some stand based on a conscience matter. They are treated the same as an adulterer or pedophile. - BOBCAT

  If they were treated the same as a pedophile, they would get off scot free!

  Do elders still ask inactive members to write a letter to disassociating yourself from the Congregation?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do today's elders ever meet with inactive members and pressure them to write a letter disassociating themselves from the congregation stating that, ''you no longer wish to a jehovah witness"?.

  i was baptized at the young age of 16. after turning 18, i stopped attending meetings, field service, and all jehovah's witness activities.

  i wanted to be with my high school friends, go to rock concerts, have a girlfriend, and live like a normal teen.

  just want to introduce myself and let you know that this site is working and is a big help to lots of jws with doubts.

  i've been lurking for about a year, the first couple of times i was frightened and literally shaking visiting an apostate site but it's the only place i can come to for sanity.

  the religion has become a nut house.

  holidays.

  Arbor day?

  a priest, don Juan Abern Samtrés, which, according to the chronicles, "convinced of the importance of trees for health, hygiene, decoration, nature, environment and customs, decides to plant trees and give a festive air. The festival began on Carnival Tuesday with the ringing of two bells of the church, and the Middle and the Big. After the Mass, and even coated with church ornaments, don Juan, accompanied by clergies, teachers and a large number of neighbours, planted the first tree, a poplar, in the place known as Valley of the Ejido.

  Fuck. Not even that.

  I take CBD oil for sleep -- love my CBD!

  I know others -- including elders -- who use it as well. No one has a problem with it.
