Thought these might spark an interesting thread: 1.) If you could go back and erase an invention from history what would it be? 2.) If you could bring back any canceled TV series, which TV show would you choose to bring back? 3.) What would you do if you were suddenly given world-class hacking knowledge and ability?

Facebook is the new cigarettes. Good call
Except it doesn't kill you; it kills democracy.
Facebook is McDonalds.

"its all McDonalds ... McDonalds of the soullllllll"
lol
i would consider WSO to be social media
Not saying the OP doesn’t know this but I always think it’s ironic that people call for abolishing social media on social media.
100% with you there. Despite being 25, I deliberately don't keep an Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok. Just have a Facebook I use for the rare event and a Snapchat, which I also use fairly infrequently.
Even so, my social media minutes per day is probably close to 10min. Not terrible, but I'd love to get that down to 5min and as I enter my 30s (long way off), get that to 0min.
Burrowing deep underground like a true hedgehog. Nice.
2) LAW & ORDER
Original show too with Jack McCoy, Lenny Briscoe etc. Not that soft SUV stuff
I'll be an edgelord and say organized religion. Few things are responsible for more atrocities and unnecessary deaths throughout history.
I honestly can't think of one. I wish Dexter, Nip/Tuck, and Game of Thrones had better endings though. Each started with tremendous promise only to blow it (albeit at different times in their run.)
I agree with @TheIronLady" in part. I'd turn off social media until after the election. Party for the hilarity, but also to remove the main route for foreign interference and the spread of disinformation.
Civilization would never have existed without organized religion. I am an atheist btw.
You´re not edgy, you are plain wrong. It is Man who is a monster, religion is at worst a weak set of chains and at best it gives this monster wings, a higher purpose. And now, without God, there is nothing to stop nihilism from consuming you, Nietzsche knew that all too well.
1) The pill
2) The Critic
3) Find out if the Rothschilds really rule the world
1a. credit cards (wanted to say social media but guy took it); most people who use it don't have any idea how it works. 1b. the ability to advertise stuff. too many people see shiny shit and just want to buy it. 2. True life on MTV (the original docu-series they made it/ not want it is now where its sudo-true) 3. hack the US government, see what/if they are hiding anything
1) Artificial intelligence; eventually this will be humanity's downfall, particularly compared to social media which is just more efficient communication between humans
2) "Free to Choose" by Milton Friedman, @Milton Friedchickenman"; logic and reasonable discourse between opposing viewpoints that we sorely need in today's environment
3) Pull an Aaron Swartz and release all university knowledge to the public
I'm glad you mentioned me . But whats wrong with AI? I mean I work in that space.
It's either going to be the greatest invention in history that will unlock the universe for our consciousness, or be straight up the end of all mankind. Potentially both at the same time?
TBH, this is my problem with no. Technical people trying to judge a field. It's never going sentient. It's virtually impossible.
AI is just stacking bunch of complicated statistical systems together with clever control structure around it.
We agree but we aren't thinking on the same timescale. Never? Not in a thousand years? Not in 10,000 years? Not in 100,000 years? Million, billion? Assuming, and this is a gigantic assumption that humanity will make it this far, we live to that long as a species, technology will be so intimately integrated with our species that there will be no lines between what is human and what is computer.
I might in fact be dooming our species if I hypothetically block development of AI. As biological organisms as currently constructed, we can't really survive space or most environments outside of a narrow band. We will need to integrate our consciousness with machines to make it much further than our solar system.
I'm not an expert in any sense on AI or Tech, but in general I don't think the extrapolation over 100 - 10,000 (certainly millions or billions of year ahead) is a good way to demonstrate the possibility of anything. Because (and the foundation on which that extrapolation happens) in the crazy long run almost anything can happen, including everything you mentioned about sentient AI to dinosaurs coming back, to Pluto crashing into Houston as revenge against NASA. Not saying that those are equally likely, but I think we should judge problems/upcoming futures based on a reasonable/relevant scale (say 2 - 3 generations), because anytime someone mentions "you never know what can happen in 2000 years" it's the same as "you never know what can happen" which is in the same vein as "you can't prove it won't happen/doesn't exist" --- at which point I feel most productive conversation stops.
I am curious for the experts here though, I read some research/proof by Turing a few years back (I might be wrong) that "proved" that AI/machines in general cannot become sentient, at least not in their current/Turing-esque form, true? Is that the foundation for the argument that AI can't be sentient?
3.) Child PORRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
some of you guys have never partied with Epstein and it really shows.
Has nobody seen "The Critic" it's 2 seasons, it's John Lovitz, it's the bets show cancelled after 2 seasons.
2) Definitely bring back How To Make It In America on HBO. Cancelled after 2 seasons for some reason
100000000% Agree! I loved that show!
