Technology doesn't work that way - SamuelA's Pit Thread

Nope.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around what he thinks ISIS/terrorists have to do with Google & MIT. :confused:

For a split second there I read “incel” as “imbecile”, which goes to show that our immediate first impressions of words tend to be appropriate to the context.

I was thinking this was more like it.

Well, he was certainly active in this thread. (That’s the one where he claims that women didn’t like being slaves because it meant their offspring had less of a chance of survival, although most of his posts in that thread were just as creepy.)

Dude’s disgusting.

He never ceases to amaze, even when I think I’ve seen it all.

Aside from the creepiness, I note these priceless lines:

Unfortunately I can’t give you a crash course in modern AI techniques in the space of this forum post …

Well, of course not. Here’s the translation: “Time and space prevent me from giving you a comprehensive dissertation on modern AI techniques of which I have a full understanding in my capacity as Sammy, Boy Genius™, and this is unfortunately your loss and you’re going to have to continue to trudge through life without benefit of my exalted enlightenment.”

A learning AI is just a description for a dataflow and some instructions that will cause the machine to pick the best action out of those it considered against some goal.

Sammy also has a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of machine learning. Notice the routine appearance of the word “just” here, which in common parlance is an expression of simplicity – which indeed everything is to Sammy’s giant throbbing brain – so the entire discipline of machine learning has been reduced by Sammy to a mere 26 words following “just”. That’s pretty much all there is to it: a description for a dataflow and some instructions.

We do, however, have to keep in mind, as noted earlier, that “just” is also a unit of measure and implies the recruitment of 3.762 x 10[sup]9[/sup] self-replicating nanobots to support Sammy’s initiative, every single one of the intelligent nanobots just bursting with dataflows and some instructions, so you bet they’re learning like billy-o!

I noted today that he’s not logged on since yesterday, and his last post was in his thread. . . the “Last Time Addendum” post, which was a full twenty-five minutes after his ‘Absolute final post. I really, really mean it!

I note, that a quick look indicates his last activity: Yesterday 12:47 AM (MDT). Why do I bring this up? Because I know he’s lurking and reviewing this thread. But we’ll know when he logs in to look and post. The longer he doesn’t log in, the better off we all are.

Thank you for this citation. I am humbled! :smiley: Sometimes it’s important to give the lay reader a definitive number to correlate to an abstract measurement. That’s just good ol’ science.

. . . and that includes readers who get laid too. ::rimshot::

Does it still count if you bang hookers? Seems like it should, because otherwise the only true incels are broke-ass MFers.

That’s a good question. I would think the strict defininition of “incel” (from what I remember as “involuntary celibate”) would mean that if he did* copulate/fornicate, then it was voluntary (although expensive), and he no longer qualifies to self-nominate. He would have voluntarily forked over that $500, so, he loses his claim to that status.

If he didn’t actually find a hooker, then he’s a flat out liar, but at least he can claim “incel” as an occupation on his tax returns.

*Note: I want to cast aspersions on anything he says of his sexual “condition.” Come to think of it too, I have doubts about his military service. Something just doesn’t add up. . .

Tripler
Either way, whether he’s lying about being an incel, or lying about getting hookers . . . he’s a liar.

Wouldn’t that mean anyone who could possibly scrape up a few hundred bucks, even if once a year or whatever, cannot claim to be an incel if they are spending that money on something other than basic needs at the bottom of the Maslow pyramid?

Being an incel is not inextricably linked to actual sexual activity. There is a subgroup of incels who have girlfriends and engage in regular sexual activity. But not with “Stacys” or whatever they call them. They don’t think it ‘counts’ unless they are with supermodels or some other stupid shit.

It’s not about the sex (well, not entirely anyway). It’s about the extreme inferiority complex they have, which causes them to sometimes act or speak out in bizarre and unhealthy ways.

Exactly to my point below…

You need a way to incorporate some minorities into that picture. :smiley:

Tripler
He still hasn’t logged on–Hi Sammy!!

Maybe he’s flounced, and in between banging whores is spending his time on LessWrong like he’s repeatedly promised to do since at least January of last year. I must say that announcing that everyone on this board is an idiot, including the moderators, is an unusual way to make oneself welcome, but that’s our Sammy!

To wit:

Fools be foolish. That’s our Sammy.

I think the whole sex with hookers braggadacio sounds phony, like a sort of incel Walter Mitty. Doesn’t it sound to you like he’s trying
way too hard? He’s already said he’s too unattractive to attract women–classic incel. I’m thinking young, bitter, racist, misogynist, physically unattractive, and works in a just-above-entry position in IT. In other words, incel.

I’ll make a wage: SamuelA’s last activity was on 06-24-2019 12:47 AM (MDT). I’ll bet that he’ll avoid us, specifically this thread, and will return to the SDMB ten days from his last activity +/- 12 hours.

I’m willing to wager a good cup of coffee from your local coffee house (that’s not a Starbucks) that he’ll pop into some other thread to offer “advice.”

Tripler
Any takers?

No. Mostly because we don’t have coffee houses. :frowning:

I have to wonder if the Super Genius is getting an HIV test, since the post with HIV rates in Kiev may have thrown him for a loop.

Reassuring to hear - don’t want Dopers having a hard go of it.:slight_smile:
