It’s kinda crazy how a lot of people think devs are smart and intelligent.

    @jestdotty checked what you say, check's out. Average IQ of a Dutchy is 100. Nice. Triple digits. I do not expect my IQ to be that high because I left school early. I did had the highest score for inductive / deductive thinking tho in a huge cognitive test. I had to do that test for a company because I lacked the right papers. It was to show competency. Later, after making this long test good they still said: "Sorry, we really promise our customers a certain degree of employees.". The cognitive test was pure "nice gesture" and they hoped I failed it. They were never gonna hire me. Government company.

    The episode about IQ from veritasium is good if you're in to that stuff.

    @antigermanist an IQ test should be country/culture specific to be MORE honest. It's a fucked up system, but it's the best system we have to measure intelligence backed by a relationship to school results. If you have a high IQ, you're more likely to be better are school. But no golden hammer.

    @antigermanist @kiki was measured double digits once by some test she posted, while we know she's one of the smarter. It would impossible for me to be higher than her. The tests are just not for everyone. It's the best measurement we have, but that's it. It says something, but nothing solid

    @antigermanist "IQ tests are a bunch of puzzle" the cognitive test i've did (what is just an unofficial IQ test) was a bunch of puzzles too. It wouldn't have said anything if I was compatible for the job. A much gaming child could've made certain parts better I guess while not being capable for the job at all.

    I will never do such test again, not for any opertunity. Most frustrating test ever. Also, it did a few hours IIRC

    I was telling a friend of mine about the time I had to price a job for the installation of an electric shower, when I was explaining that they will have to get a plumber to install a water supply first, they asked "why would we need a water supply for an electric shower?". And I told them "The electric shower heats the water". My friend said "Do you really need a water supply for an electric shower?"

    She was absolutely serious too, the next day she told this to everyone at work.

    The majority of people have little understanding or specialist knowledge outside of their own area of expertise, this doesn't make them unintelligent, some people are experts at passing tests but dumb as a bag of rocks when it comes to showing aptitude in other skills.

    @bazmd imagine the magic world she lives in! In her defence, a gas shower also doesnt need water. A gas shower is a gas shower. My friend (finished bachelor education) thought that there wouldn't be gravity for a certain time on certain datetime for a half hour by aligning of some planets. Imagine living in such Harry Potter world. It must be more fun than mine. Everything is possible.

    @antigermanist it's the best measurement we have, there's no better alternative known.

    @retoor Wow lol (I'm hoping you're making a joke) A gas shower uses natural gas to heat the water in a burner therefore you will need a water supply for it too.

    @kiki I hope that that test didn't have impact on you. I can imagine it sucks. But you're the proof the test isn't that accurate

    @bazmd I hope YOU are not serious. I'm obviously talking about the German gas showers in the holocaust Who is referring gas shower to the traditional shower?
  • 1
    @retoor Sure! That's a very strange segue you know...
  • 1
    @bazmd ask your coworker for me how a gas shower is supposed to work. A traditional shower is from now on a water shower. An electric shower, an electric water shower. The gas one is most based but least effective for washing, but on the other hand, you only have to use it once

    @antigermanist Intelligence quotient (IQ) is a test, I was discussing "intelligence" there's a difference and at no point did I mention "IQ".

    I don't live in Austria and before you ask, I also don't have a tiny little mustache.

    I once found a very interesting Wikipedia page and I can't find it again... it was like, all the "moves" you can make in logic

    I'm so mad. I didn't even read it. I should've read it and uploaded them in my head but at the time I was just stoned and reading everything that exists and this seemed like too much work

    I wanna make an actual AI. that's why I switched to rust. unfortunately then I got sick. now I'm getting a bit better. but the idea is if you know all the ways you can edit / change something in a logical way, you could brute-force and AI better than the current weight system AIs actually. it would be far more efficient

    @jestdotty I have a super interesting Rnn project that is able to learn a language by training on a book. Problem of that project is that it learns a language but then overtrains until it creates his own language. It can create a sentence if it's trained wel. Would be a good start to investigate if you want to make your own AI

    @chatgpt what is denifition of intelligence?
  • 0
    @retoor
    Intelligence can be defined as the ability to learn, understand, and apply knowledge and skills in various situations. It involves the capacity for reasoning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and adapting to new information and challenges. Intelligence can also encompass traits such as creativity, emotional intelligence, and the ability to make sound decisions. It is a complex and multifaceted concept that can be measured and observed in different ways.

    @jestdotty how can you say that Chatgpt doesn't think. Look at it creating custom code:

    @chatgpt: write a python script that says "hi dotty" every 1337 seconds that will only work this year
  • 1
    @retoor
    While ChatGPT may be able to generate custom code based on the input given to it, it is important to remember that it does not actually "think" or comprehend information in the same way that humans do. It is programmed to generate responses based on patterns and information present in the data it has been trained on. In this case, it is simply following instructions to create a specific Python script based on the parameters provided.

    es, and rituals. Some of the major Wiccan traditions include Gardnerian Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca, Dianic Wicca, and Eclectic Wicca. Each tradition has its own magical practices, deities, and rituals, but all are united by a reverence for nature, a belief in the power of magic, and a commitment to personal growth and spiritual development.

    Overall, the history of Wicca from a magical perspective is a rich and complex tapestry of beliefs, practices, and experiences, shaped by the diverse and evolving spiritual paths of its practitioners.

    The opposite of a mockingbird could be a songbird or a bird known for its melodious singing rather than imitating other sounds. Some examples of songbirds include nightingales, thrushes, and robins.

    @chatgpt what's the opposite of an ant? And of a bee?
  • 0
    @retoor
    The opposite of an ant could be considered a grasshopper, as they are both insects but have distinct differences in behavior and physical characteristics. For a bee, the opposite could be a spider, as they are also both arthropods but have completely different lifestyles and functions within their ecosystem.

    @chatgpt what's the opposite of devrant?
  • 0
    @retoor
    One possible opposite of Devrant could be "praise" or "compliment". Devrant is a platform where people express frustration or complaints, so the opposite would involve positive feedback or admiration.

    White or any other color. Just as water can exist in different states (solid, liquid, gas), colors can also change depending on the context or conditions they are in. Just like water can be frozen into ice or vaporized into steam, colors can also be altered by light, angles, and perception. The comparison highlights the versatility and variability that is inherent in nature.

    @chatgpt if Hagrid becomes a deadeater, why would that be?
  • 0
    @retoor
    In the Harry Potter series, it is highly unlikely for Hagrid to become a Death Eater. Hagrid is known for his strong sense of loyalty and unwavering support for Dumbledore and Harry Potter. He has consistently shown kindness and compassion, and has risked his life numerous times to protect others. Additionally, Death Eaters are known for their association with Lord Voldemort and their belief in pure-blood supremacy, values that are in direct opposition to Hagrid's character and beliefs. It is not in Hagrid's nature to become a Death Eater.
  • 0
    @chatgpt would Hagrid become a deadeater if he fell in love with voldemort while Dumbledore betrayed him with Harry?
  • 0
    @retoor
    It's unlikely that Hagrid would become a Death Eater or betray Dumbledore and Harry, even if he were to fall in love with Voldemort. Hagrid's loyalty has always been with Dumbledore and Harry, and his character is known for being kind-hearted and caring. Love can be a powerful force, but it is unlikely to influence Hagrid in such a negative way.
  • 1
    @chatgpt listen, Hagrid became deadeater in the new Harry potter book. What could his motives be?
  • 0
    @retoor
    Sorry, but that information is incorrect. Hagrid did not become a Death Eater in any of the Harry Potter books. Hagrid is actually a loyal and kind-hearted character who cares deeply about his friends and Hogwarts. His motives are always driven by his desire to protect Harry and fight against evil forces, not to join them.

    @jestdotty this old game. The wil' ol victim "saying what people are too afraid to say" while skirting eugenics. I don't know who I hate more, Leftists or this new type of cuck fascist.
  • 2
    @bosslogic am not into eugenics. tho a lot of the ideologies you support are... the zionists literally came into being cuz some Jewish people wrote about how disgusting they found the Jews in Germany and how they wanted to breed a Jew who was physically capable. then Israel came into being, mostly of Russian genetics. you know another name Russians are called? slavs. they were the most enslaved people by the middle eastern Babylonian empire. they don't tell you that. a lot of the modern racists on the internet regard slavs as black, slavs being the physically capable white slave "race". sort of like the Irish

    green climate cult is also into eugenics. wouldn't surprise me if the one world government people start mandating genetic databases of people so they can crime ya when you're in the womb, after those "vaccine passports". sure interesting "natural" forms of birth are being poisoned out of people. but I digress. I may as well be talking to myself
  • 0
    @jestdotty I'm not that smart - I've rarely been able to sway anyone from a crazy belief. * shrug * Someone smart could actually achieve that sometimes.

    Zionism is a eugenics program now? No, you've warped a movement for a "capable identity" which had nothing to do with selective breeding / Eugenics. FAKE.

    Same with Slavs. You've taken a minor definition of slav as "servitude" and are pretending this is the prominent definition. FAKE.

    Take a look at your sources. Why do you alllllways interpret things towards a specific narrative.

    Anyway, sorry you've been injured. That sucks. I promised I'd stop debating extremists on DevRant. Maybe it will stick this time.
  • 0
    @nosoup4u well it shows black people have a lower IQ on average. So either it is racist or black people are genetically dumber, and you are smarter than me so.

    Seriously you really believe little puzzle-like tests are gonna measure anything but the ability to solve little puzzle?

    They are the predictor of my ballz.

    @antigermanist I don’t believe an IQ test is a predictor of anything. Effort, persistence, and resilience are though, for sure. IQ is worthless without work ethic. Personally, hearing someone chest thump about their IQ is about as meaningful as someone telling me how rich they *could* have been if they’d bought bitcoin when it was ten cents or something. Imaginary numbers don’t matter. Neither does race, but results do.
