I'm an atheist, but I think most people here know that

this sounds like a philosophy major nitpicking over terms

Well, I identify as an agnostic.

there's no way to know to the best of my knowledge if "god" exists or not

I'm not sure why people assume we can know anything about "spiritual" matters when there's still epistemic claims we don't know about the materialistic world we see.

how do you know that you understand the materialistic world as well as you think you do

We function under empiricism/rationalism so of course we can't "know" because we acquire knowledge through our senses and reason.

I'm not buying it

Because of inductive reasoning... lol

when I see us vs an ant there may be something that makes us look like an ant intellectually

We can infer things through a process if elimination and by assessing likelihood

I think people overestimate what humans are capable of

and if a real "AI" is ever made that will be made abundantly clear

Probably so we are ignorant apes (literally).

You dont know for sure that I don't make six figures a year and work for the CIA

it's possible that you do

They'll probably find your Discord and are spying on you right now.

more likely that you do actually do that me meeting you in this setting

implying discord isnt already doing so

than meeting you randomly on the street

but its still very very unlikely

cause it doesnt seem like there's anything crazy on this server

During the Obama administration it was discovered that they were spying on our phone calls and text messages.

your calls and texts are stored

we already know this

I remember this actor had an FBI guy helping him for a role

Yeah, it's all unconstitutional.

and he got on his PC and pulled up calls the actor made 5 years ago

and played them back to him

it's all being recorded and saved

when AI or whatever is advanced enough

they will have it sift through everything

It's 👏 against 👏 the 👏 law 👏

and then there will be lists

and they will round us all up

and gulag style execute us

These people dont give a shit about the constitution

"It's a living document"

"it was written nearly 300 years ago"

they dont give a shit about anything but themselves and their own

Ehhh
