When you make one I'd address it.

>somehow only go "elsewhere"

It would. You brought up how you're not American as a defense to your ignorance of how our tax code works. That's fine and reasonable. But here you are still acting smug thinking you're actually throwing insults at me.

Yes. It is quite probably the highest honor in a while for you ever since the day you got your supposed masters degree in economics which didn't teach you any economics.

Still can't answer on points though.

As for winning, i won a fair while ago when somehow tried to claim that the government getting more taxes would somehow only go "elsewhere" since they're corporate taxes and then tried to call yourself an economist of some kind.

More deflection! Someone is desperate to salvage some prestige out of this.

>That was a jab. The fact that you continue to bring it up shows that you have to reply on whatever you can because you're punching up.

I'm sorry about hurting your feelings since your economics degree being a scam must be a sore point for you, but you need to acknowledge facts to move on. Or you could reply on points. But alas, you'd need to know some economics for that. A tragic catch 22, really. I can recommend some good sources on that, excluding your favourite investopedia.

Its also pretty funny that you started a convo with what you now claim is a snide jab but accused me of being smug and not engaging.

Seems like every time a cutting edge AI technology gets released to the public and becomes mainstream people just wanna show off about it. We got it with Stable Diffusion, and now ChatGPT, until the next big thing.

We get it, it's cool and all. But after more than a month of spamming the same things all the time it gets old real fast.

Mostly intuition combined with the speed of things. I initially looked at Kurzweil's estimates, which has human level AI in 2029, and have been watching progress towards that. When AlphaStar conquered StarCraft, it was about two or three years before I had guessed AI would be able to play a game where you had a lot of disparate information and had to combine it into controlling a lot of different units and situations.

So to me it's still about 2029 or even sooner for human level AI, and I think what I'd consider a Superintelligence would be about 5 years after that. It would work to improve itself but wouldn't be immediately designing new GPUs and things like that, that would take a few years before it had access to infrastructure and resources to get hardware and things made. But I think once a human level ai gets access to all of those things then it can improve itself fairly quickly.

"I'm not deflecting, I'm deflecting."

>And you don't understand jokes.

Better than not understanding economics.

>You're not willing to engage.

Yes, by not deflecting and responding with points.

>You are just here to act smug and smart.

By providing points... Maybe you should have taken a couple of logic classes alongside eco degree. Might actually have helped more than your eco degree which didn't even tell you what trickle down economics is apparently.
