> The group has said that it does not question the Quran or Prophet Muhammad's teaching but debates the opinions of religious scholars and modern-day clerics.

> Last month, rights group Human Rights Watch called on Bahraini authorities to "Immediately drop all charges against the men and halt inflammatory public comments condemning the society on religious grounds."

Reply to What if language IS the only model needed for intelligence? by wowimsupergay

Our own brains have a repeating neural architecture -- not a lot of architectural variances.

Tuning how links are created between neurons seems to be where much of the "magic" happens.

The latest ANNs like GPT4 seem to have the tuning pretty close to amazing. And it will get better.

Is language necessary? No, I do not think it is. However, structure in what we learn is -- and language is one way to structure our learning material in an impactful way.

Does an ANN have to copy our brain architecture exactly to develop a more powerful intellect? I think the proof is already here that it does not have to copy us to beat us.

Reply to comment by psychrolute in ELI5: If benzodiazepines are CNS depressants, why is it so hard to die from a overdose of them alone? by psychrolute

I doubt snorting would make it stronger. Benzos have a high bioavailability when swallowed. They dont dissolve in water so unlikely to be absorbed through blood mucus membranes. However it would have ended up in your stomach eventually. I lost 2 days my phone, geekvape 200 and crashed my 30 mph ebike. Without even knowing. Woke up 3 days later with black eye cut head etc. Dont even know how I got up 4 flights of stairs. I dont remember a thing about it. I hadn't been out is what I thought Eventually enough people who saw me said how fucked up and confused I Was. Expensive day and lucky I didn't kill myself accidentally again. My TV was also broken and my flat looked like it had been ransacked This isn't the first time but the last from know on its only Legit Diazepam like Kern prodes
