The Black Community, The Church — And The Truth – By Yvonne Sam

The truth has always been a loner and also the uninvited guest in any dialogue. However, even in the face of all accompanying negativity and alienation, the need for its appearance exists.

Some representatives of the Black community have always displayed a cultural antagonism towards intelligence. Simply put, the crux of the problem, existing in the Black community among the more dysfunctional of us, is not a lack of intelligence, but our attitude towards knowledge.

Robotics: Artificial Intelligence: it will kill us | Jay Tuck | TEDxHamburgSalon

Comments:

  • AI aside, what are these stupid military robots for? It’s not like we are fighting aliens or anything. Are we really so determined to make weapons so powerful and unstoppable just to kill or control other human beings? The fact that we seem so driven to murder each other seems to be the real issue.
  • The next great war will be the ultra wealthy cleansing the earth of working class peasants with the help of machines they have built for that sole purpose …. lol
  • We have humans that think like AI. We call them sociopaths.
