The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

Computer Science. That's how. You're a sophisticated meatware data-collection mechanism that has evolved advanced management of the data it gathers.

Self-Awareness is what allows animals with no fur, horns, armour, scales, antlers, etc., to protect us, to survive in a world that is trying to kill them. Your self-awareness, allows you to exist and alter nature around you.

At the moment I can work with A.I.s that are about as smart and self-aware as a cockroach. It's just a PHYSICAL restriction. More processing power would allow me to do more, but I don't have enough time in my life to do what I want with AI, but I can say that self-aware machines are a certainty. It's just a matter of time.

BIOLOGICAL intelligence may just be a fleeting phase of intelligence in the universe.

Computer Science is the answer to those questions, Cara Small Atherton.

...because it's the answer to EVERYTHING.
