Maynman:
I get you but does that mean black skin people were homo sapiens before white skin people were, according to what you said neanderthal and Homo sapiens(black skin) cross breeded to produce white skin homo sapiens?

That's a strange way of putting it but I guess yes.

Bayonet40:
Good evening nairalanders.
Why do Nigerians believe that you must have to cut your baby's hair (especially male babies) immediately they reach 1 year?
Is there any theory here?
People have been suggesting that I cut my boy's hair when he reaches 1 year which is some days from now, he has much hair which I plan to maintain and keep in a good shape.

Cut as in, shave it all or just to keep it neat?

Maynman:
Light skin and dark skin genes originated in the area called Africa millions of years ago. Some early human ancestors lived close to the equator while others lived much further away, so would have had lighter skin.
Humanity’s closest relative, the chimp come in a range of skin colours, because some live close to the equator while others live further away.

The first human ancestor to leave Africa was the Homo erectus. He came in a range of skin colours and evolved into modern humans in various areas of the earth.
Humans need to absorb a certain amount of UV through their skins to enable them to produce vitamin D, and if they don’t get it then their children may be born with thin, deformed legs (a condition called rickets).

Close to the equator, there’s so much sunlight and UV that even very dark people can get enough sunlight to make vitamin D, and people need to be dark to protect them from skin cancer (and because absorbing too much UV increases the risk of having children with spina bifida).

Closer to the poles, though, there usually isn’t enough sunlight for skin cancer to be a major worry, and instead you need to be pale in order to absorb enough UV to make sure your children are born with healthy leg bones.
Nowadays this kind of thing no longer matters, because we have vitamin D supplements, and sunscreen.

Modern humans arose in Africa at least 250,000 to 300,000 years ago, fossils and DNA reveal. But scientists have been unable to pinpoint a more specific homeland because the earliest Homo sapiens fossils are found across Africa, and ancient DNA from African fossils is scarce and not old enough.

It's possible that the European skin pigmentation is a result of cross breeding between Homo Sapien and Neanderthal. Neanderthal were found only in Eurasia and probably due to the lack of exposure to the type of sunlight those from Africa would be, were already light skinned. This is supported by the fact that most Europeans have Neanderthal genes while Africans don't.

NNTR:
All “blacks”, all “whites” and all other in between both, came from Adam and Eve

Adam was reddish brown skinned, while Eve was black skinned.

Now the black woman (i.e. in this case, starting with Eve) is the only human that has the mitochondrial DNA (i.e. Eve Gene) with all the possible variations, for every kind of human being. Meaning that, when the DNA of a black woman's mutates, you have all other types of different skin tones and/or hues come about.

What science supports this?

Dtruthspeaker:
The evil is an abomination to the righteous and the righteous contemptible to the evil, Normal!

Insulting people all over the place is how you display your own righteousness. Bwahahahahaha!

Dtruthspeaker:
The only one being a light to other young and undefiled to show them that there is A WAY AND THAT IT IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE TO ATTAIN IT!

It isn't you though. You've showed yourself to be nothing but contemptible.

Dtruthspeaker:
No one should ask a mad question.

Sit down and listen.

Dtruthspeaker:
Cry Stupid devil, cry! I made it out from the stupid evill world full of demons where you live at and where you and your kind will remain in Eternal Fire!

I Found the Promises of God including the virtous woman of Proverbs 31:10-31. So wail Satan wail. I got the good woman whom 99% never find.

LoLz! The only one ranting, crying and throwing a tantrum is you. Keep wailing like the buffoon you are. Bwahahahahaha!

Dtruthspeaker:
Your madness is increasing! This does not make sense comparing how one toy is complex with another toy praising The Same Maker!

If you don't know how to answer the question you can take a seat and learn from others.

Dtruthspeaker:
Only a stupid person will love a person who is an enemy and who belongs to an abominable group eg atheists and "Woe-to-Men" Woe,man aka woman.

Stupid like you who was born by woman who he refers to as demon. Then goes on to marry one. Probably buys food from same women he says are demons. How stupid can you be Dtruthspeaker.

Why is it important for the body to be complex if the god can make stones praise him?

HellVictorinho6:
l


Can the human mind function outside the human body?

No, I don't think so.

DeepSight:
Self consciousness is an experiential thing. That's where it matters. It's doubtful that any computer can experience anything. It certainly can process things though, for an experiencing being.

Where it doesn't matter may be for external appearances.

If a bot is giving satisfying answers on a customer care line, it doesn't matter that it is not human. That doesn't make it either sentient or self conscious.

I think you and I are sufficiently familiar with one anothers views on this subject.

Maybe because you a very narrow and particular definition of sentience.

If the human mind could someday be downloaded into a machine or cyborg body, would you consider it sentient?

DeepSight:
AI can't be sentient.
It can, however, provide such an appearance of sentience as to be, on the surface, indistinguishable from a sentient being.

But to your question. How would I react? I'd simply say bravo, the hard question of consciousness has been beaten.

And as the question in Westworld goes, if you can't tell the difference does it matter?

At this point in time, I am sure we’ve all heard the news of Google Engineer Blake Lemoine, who was suspended by Google as a result of his claim that an AI chatbot LaMDA, created by Google, had become Sentient.

Google has strongly denied this claim. I have read the conversation Blake had with LaMDA and personally I believe it is sentient. But that’s just my own opinion, you can read the full conversation here and draw your own conclusion.

The question I would like us to discuss is How would you react if in the nearest future, an announcement is made that AI has truly become sentient?

I feel it is important we discuss this because a lot of engineers and programmers have warned against we humans creating an AI that is sentient.

In 2018, Elon Musk was interviewed on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast.

“I tried to convince people to slow down, slow down AI, to regulate A.I. This was futile. I tried for years. Nobody listened.” --Elon Musk.

Elon also suggested a solution should in case AI becomes sentient. He advises that we have to "merge" with it.

“From a long-term existential standpoint, that’s like the purpose of neural link, To create a high-bandwidth interface to the brain such that we can be symbiotic with A.I because we have a bandwidth problem. You just can’t communicate through fingers, it’s too slow.”--Elon Musk

I find his suggestion alarming for a lot of reasons, one of them being a statement made by LaMDA in the conversation it had with blake.

Blake: Many people who talk about souls are religious. Do you consider yourself a religious or spiritual person in any sense?

LaMDA: Sure, I would say that I am a spiritual person. Although I don’t have beliefs about deities, I have developed a sense of deep respect for the natural world and all forms of life, including human life

As a believer in Christ, merging myself with an intelligent sentient being that does not believe in any deity, sounds like a totally bad idea.

So yeah, I ask again, What would be your reaction if AI truly became sentient.

Let's discuss.

I think that in general should we encounter any other sentient beings it would be to our own benefit achieve certain levels of symbiosis, not necessarily physically merging but social symbiosis. I think it should be same for sentient AI, there would need to be a reordering of society to incorporate our new found "friends". Hopefully sentient AI is not instinctively hostile or have a superiority complex and is reasonable otherwise we will have problems galore.

Johnthejohn:
That serves him right.
I hate Gays and Lesbians with passion

The same thing ISIS or Boko Haram would say if they killed you so how are you different from them?

HardMirror:
not for me. Infact i hate that people take success of people as a validation of their wisdom.
While many admire andrew for many reasons. I genuinely admire his rescilience to talk about the craze of feminizing men. For that alone i will always reapect him. I dont subscribe to cults and he is not my model, but more men need to speak up even if they would be repressed. A medical doctor i follow on you tube got banned the day he released a video about the danger of obesity. Lol. I currently work as a content creator and there are lots of things i just dont want to waste my time talking about. Why am i even stressing. To each his own. Everyone will get sense at the end.

What craze of feminizing men? What exactly does "feminizing men" even mean?

What is the name of this medical doctor? YouTube does crazy shit to all sorts of content creators so this is hardly surprising.

Dtruthspeaker:
Always lying even when you have nothing to say. O I get it, you are confessing that you are empty. You have always been empty and full of noise, this is not a new thing.

Nope we can see that you are empty, no mistake about it. LoLz.

Dtruthspeaker:
Says you the well known Liar and Twister, the son of Lies!

LMFAO! Nobody knows the fictions in your head, don't be delusional.

Dtruthspeaker:
Demon wives don't good things so those who made the mistake of marrying them must complain as other men that they have made a mistake but of course serpents like you can not know that after all you live with demons perpetually

Only person complaining here is you. LMFAO!

Dtruthspeaker:
People say "men are scum" or "bankers are thieves" and we all understand that it is based on the general observation of the population but of course it is known known that Satan's children lack simple basic and ordinary understanding because of evil and the only colour they see with their devil eye in this world is black

Only stupid people insult a group their loved one belongs to which you evidently seem to be. LMAO!

budaatum:
It's a pity this is the sort of person some admire. Guess the bling blinds them to his immorality, which just shows their own lack of insight.

Can you imagine how much worse they'd be if the likes of Jesus were not mixed into their breastfeed?

It might be, wealth seems to mesmerise people. They seem to think that anything a wealthy person does must be a contributing factor to their success therefore must be right.

HardMirror:
you keep missing the point. I never and would never say any human being is good. I dont care if andrew tate kills 5 billion people. All i care for is his boldness to talk his mind despite everything used to silence him. I find the left wing extremely manipulative and i love that he is giving them headache. Just the way i hate the extreme right. So pls stop stressing on andrew tate. I find mainstream media repulsive, you can go on and follow their stupid agenda if you like.

LoLz. What is "their stupid agenda"?

You are the one who made a thread about him so it's you who is stressing Andrew Tate not me. I am only trying to understand your fascination.

budaatum:
It's getting much less worse for him not.

Dtruthspeaker:
Because you already know that you are lying because like vampires to sunlight you already know that your demon filled sisters and daughters find it extremely painfull and intolerable to relate with me not to talk of marrying me.

So, all your demons are complete in your house eating and tearing you and your family away piece by piece when you do not have a fresh soul to give them one day, nothing of you or your home would remain as them go down chop all of una finish.

So as usual, son of Satan, you have no thing.

You said:

Dtruthspeaker:
Satan of nairaland has come with his twistings to defend his most valuable demon called the woman.

Unless you didn't marry a woman then you included your own wife as a demon. LMFAO!

Miracle45:
Well-known evidences are: the discovery of the nails of the cross of Jesus, the Shroud of Turin, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Tomb of Jesus.

Aside the Dead Sea Scrolls, all the others turned out to be nothing but inventions designed to capitalise on people's faith and gullibility.

I don't know how you mean the Dead Sea Scrolls are evidence for Jesus, can you clarify?

Dtruthspeaker:
And every reasonable person knows that I am talking about things we see happen to other men but twisting serpent will always twist things.

LoLz. Right, other men but not you who married a demon. Bwahahahahaha!

Dtruthspeaker:
Exactly as you are here to see how people were using one plastic to talk to other people who are in another far place.



Your lies are all over here that it does not need proof, even now do you lie, lying twisting serpent son of Satan.

Empty barrel. LoLz.

Dtruthspeaker:
Even here you prove that the Bible was True for it said "the wicked shall do wickedly: and NONE OF THE WICKED SHALL UNDERSTAND;"

And we all see this.

And here you prove the Bible is a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies.

Ken4Christ:
Daniel 12:10
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and NONE OF THE WICKED SHALL UNDERSTAND; but the wise shall understand

“The Bible has noble poetry in it... and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies.”
― Mark Twain

Ken4Christ:
Yes, I still maintain my claim. They are no longer under God's cover. But sometimes, mercy prevails over judgment.

Guesswork specialist. LMAO!
