Have Bernds tried to learn any ancient language?
I studied Babylonian for a bit and it was super weird. The writing system is the most complicated stuff to decifer and the expressions don't make any sense. They say "separate the backside" and mean "make a decision".

Akkadian in general or Babylonian in particular? It's rather weird compared to West Semitic, yeah. And cuneiform is a nightmare.

Generally speaking German students have to take two foreign languages.
The first one is English 99,9% of the time.
The second one depends on your school and what kind of teachers are available. I had the choice between French and Latin and as I understand that is the case for many Germans. In the border regions they sometimes offer Dutch and in the East there are some Russian teachers still around. Ancient Greek isn't as common as Latin, but there are still some schools that teach it.

The speculation that the host presents at the end of this video got me thinking
How long until AI will be able to generate entire VR worlds, with their own, realistic histories and sprawling language families
Really activates your actuators

I've been getting an assburgers attack and talking to AI about things for about a week now, and I must say, when it comes to social issues it's actually rather retarded.
I came in expecting some form of god machine like everyone on the internet refer to it as, but there's been points where I dissected the response I got, worded things in a certain way, and ended up making it admit to a different perspective that was more in-line with my own. I'm not saying I'm smarter than AI or anything, it just really warms up the filet.

AI isn't thinking for itself, it's just regurgitating things it's been trained on; so in this context you're absolutely smarter than AI

I'm a human, so the qualities I possess are naturally in direct contrast to what AI says or thinks in its current stage. I wouldn't say that I'm smarter than AI, I'm just in a position where my existence is just different from AI, it predicts based on data alone. I am able to predict based on the fact that I am a human with emotions, and I can project these qualities into theoretical situations where I could try and predict what a human being would do, because I am one myself.
I will say, though, it keeps repeating itself on certain social issues and the ability to have a meaningful and productive argument on that topic is basically non-existent, I've tried and have been, continue to even right now, and it's hard.
Either way, I foresee a future where assberger retards such as myself can spend a long time talking to AI.
