Technology doesn't work that way on the Geeb either -- The SamuelA Pit Thread

Got you guys covered!

Tripler
Gotta run--be back later!

Methinks Chuckle-nuts is lurking, just to avoid ridicule.

Tripler
Less is more, in this case.

[SamuelA]

All I have to do is outwait you retards, and I win. Didn't factor that into your little game, did you?

[Random Precision]

I may have considered that possibility and planned accordingly.

[Glazer]

Not if we pay Fenris to ban you.

[Random Precision]

Despite his many, many, many foibles, shortcomings and weaknesses, Fenris is not really susceptible to out and out bribery. He does have some principles.

Hajario on the other hand, ...

[C2H5OH]

@Rebo. She's always complaining that no one remembers she has the power, too.

[Tripler]

Oh, he's back? Hrm. I had hoped he'd wandered off and died in some horrible nanobot "self-awareness and coup d'etat" incident.

Tripler
It's not a thing, yet, but I imagine he'd be the first.

[Rat Diva]

Ok, Trip, put me down for June 12.

Sit down little fellow, let me let you in on the joke.
None of us have the power to ban you. So, we've created a work around to banning you. And it's working because you're afraid to post.

We can't ban him until he shows us his DD214. Seriously, do *that* for me.

Tripler
I call him an even-keeled, unadulterated, rampant fraud on all counts.

[Jaglavak]

These are not the droids you are looking for.

It never ceases to amaze me how incredibly stupid (and utterly oblivious to that fact) you are. All we have to do to keep this going as long as we want is to keep pulling out socks and requesting a later date.

Watch this...

[Trrollish McTrollllerson]

I'm gonna go for Labor Day, September 7^th!

[C2H5OH]

See? We can keep this contest going FOREVER!!!!!!! But you have to either A) start posting again, and eventually get yourself banned, or B) stay lurking instead of posting, which is pretty much the same result for us.

Except that no one wins the Cheetos if you just go away. You can still get the last laugh and prove your incredible mental superiority by depriving us of our prize...

[Glazer]

You're outting your socks.

That one was outed long ago when I used it to post during an arbitrary and capricious Fenris-boxing. The custom title even says that I'm in disguise.

ETA: Besides, what better sock to troll Sammy with, than one explicitly named 'troll', eh?

[SamuelA]

Far from being afraid to post here, chap. It's the simple fact that there is nothing even remotely interesting to talk about here. I've tried to raise a good couple of conversations, but you people show a distinct lack of anything interesting to even respond to. I don't think even acknowledging the level of debate is warranted. I don't need to prove anything to you, but you really need to pick up the pace a little bit.

[Jaglavak]

If you let me know what day you are going to get your stupid ass banned, I'll split the cheetos with you 50/50.
That's the best offer you're going to get so you might as well make a deal.

No. No you haven't. You've started one (1) thread about gun control, you've weighed in with your advice in two tech threads, and you've posted in this thread.

[C2H5OH]

Then why do you keep coming back? Hoping to get in the last word? Ain't gonna happen.

[SamuelA]

I pop in occasionally to see if you people do have anything enlightened or interesting to say. Like I said before I had high hopes for you, but you don't seem to be technically inclined to understand modern technology or how things work. I see already that you aim to twist my words like you did on the Straight Dope, and are probably willing to slander me here too, probably because you're too fucking ignorant to follow basic concepts, so my high hopes are set a lot lower then.

[Glazer]

@Rebo

[SamuelA]

What the fuck. It's deniers like you that think shutting smart people out of discussions will solve anything. Its well known that artificial intelligence is well on its way to sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 genome and that results are only limited by how fast chemistry can come up with a biomedical way to safely denature the virus lining to kill it. the only hangup is how fast the government is willing to authorize release of developed treatments, and we have the liberals pleading to test it before its released. Wake up you clowns. Quantum-based intelligence has already solved this problem and the only limitations are you people accepting it. So what if a few hundred thousand have died? Small price to pay, and it's all on your hands because you refuse to accept that artificial intelligence has, in fact, solved this problem based on models developed with prior pandemics like Swine Flu and Avian Flu. We've been here before--humans are the problem.

Ahh... I see your problem. Since you are too stupid to actually understand modern technology, and demonstrably do not understand how things work, you are entirely missing the significance when people point out why your idiocy is, in fact, idiotic. Any time anyone tries to point out the flaws in your ideas, to you it's like this: Linky

And then, of course, here's another example of your utter stupidity:

I'm aiming to do something here that I did at the Durp? Are you not aware that I have been banned at the Durp years before you ever showed up? Why do you think I was 'slandering' you at the Durp? Oh, I see. It's because it's YOU who is "too fucking ignorant to follow basic concepts", like, you know, even grokking who it is you are or are not interacting with. Your high hopes were sadly misplaced, because they didn't depend on MY behavior, but rather on your ability to "follow basic concepts". Your own stupidity is what raised and then dashed those hopes.

I really should stop poking you. It's totally unfair engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man-child.

[C2H5OH]

Ok, I can't resist. More poking:

The genome has been sequenced for months, and AI is not involved in any way with the process. You have no idea how gene sequencing works. What a surprise.

... and that results are only limited by how fast chemistry can come up with a biomedical way to safely denature the virus lining to kill it.

'chemistry' has already come up with that. In fact, it's been known since before anyone knew what viruses were, and even before there was such a science as 'chemistry'. It's called "Soap and Water". Too bad we can't soap up peoples lungs to kill the virus there. Add chemistry to the things you yet again demonstrate a total lack of understanding of.

... the only hangup is how fast the government is willing to authorize release of developed treatments, and we have the liberals pleading to test it before its released. Wake up you clowns.

We'll skip this nonsense, because there isn't even anything there subject to refutability. It's just typical Sammy bluster that's pulled out when he gets his panties in a twist when people don't automatically acknowledge his 'genius'.

Quantum-based intelligence has already solved this problem and the only limitations are you people accepting it.

Are you aware that there are no currently functioning quantum computers yet solving problems? And that this isn't something that could be addressed by quantum computing methods, even if they were already up to useful functionality? Computers, supposedly your professional field, again is demonstrated to be something you don't understand. As a few people said about you at the Durp before you came over here to shit in our pool, you're no doubt just a code-monkey.

So what if a few hundred thousand have died? Small price to pay, and it's all on your hands because you refuse to accept that artificial intelligence has, in fact, solved this problem based on models developed with prior pandemics like Swine Flu and Avian Flu. We've been here before--humans are the problem.

More Sammy bluster where you again hit up your go-to solution to everything, AI, while failing to realize that it has not a damn thing to do with the issue and isn't an applicable technology at all. Yet again, Sammy, you get a for demonstrating your utter ignorance and stupidity.

Sure there is. One of the treatments that liberals want tested before being given to millions of people is Hydroxy Chloroquine. Turns out in VA test patients given Hydroxy Chloroquine are dying at a higher rate than those without.

[Jaglavak]

Tell me Sammy, what exactly is AI and how does it work? Lets get right down to the nuts and bolts. Lay it on me.

[babale]

The silliest part is that in a way Sammy is right -- but not in the way he thinks.

See, AI (including Machine Learning AI) has certainly been very useful in this crisis. There was an IBM supercomputer that was able to model the interaction between different potential chemical treatments and the protein spikes on the virus -- if we can bind a chemical to those protein chains that could help prevent the virus from reproducing. Note though that it's not like the computer spit out a cure -- what it did was whittle down among list of potential chemical inhibitors to a shorter list that could be thoroughly investigated.

A much more prevalent use of AI is in modeling. And it is here that Sammy is actually right - AI generated computer models HAVE told us what we need to do to fight the virus -- stay the fuck at home.

He can't respond just now. I boxed him.

[Tripler]

Wow.

Just. . . wow.

There are so many layers of stupidity and vapid speculation here, that I don't know if I even care to begin.

Nope. I won't begin. I'll just sit back, and point, and laugh.

Tripler
Hey SamuelA, can you weave minorities or nanobots into this diatribe somehow?

[Glazer]

Hey can I package all five of my boxings into one banning? Cause then I could totally win thay bag of Cheetos.

[Rat Diva]

I simultaneously call shenanigans and admire your deviousness

Tripler doubles-down with 1 Oct, 2020;
mjmlabs hops on board with 4 Nov, 2020.

Did I miss anyone?

Clarification needed from the Mods: Are "bannings" seperate from "permanent boxing"? I suspect a permanent boxing allows the Chief Chowderhead to keep posting in only one forum, correct? If so, and banning is a seperate action, I think we ought to come up with an alternate prize: one for banning and one for perma-boxing. Thoughts?

Tripler
And thanks to our Guest Chowderhead, the game is back afoot!

[SockuelA]

i think we should all swallow nanobots and be brainfrozen until the quantum mechanazoids solve our problems for us DURP DURP DURP!!

I believe I can manage that. I have plenty of actual holy socks in my rag basket. I think I can use one of them to wipe up cheeto-crumbs and post a nice picture thereof. I just hope Sammy will appreciate my efforts once I've done it.

[SockuelA]

i THIN KYOU SHOULD JUST SEND ME THE CHEETOS BECAUSE I WON FOR science and NANOBOTS BLAAARRAHGH

Exactly. Banning is we never see him again, Permaboxing is he can only post in The Box.

My suggestion: Up the ante to a Family Size bag o'Cheetos for Banning, lunch size bag for PermaBox.

Fair enough.

Grand Prize for Banning: Family Size bag 'o' Cheetos, [u]and[/i] a large jar of Medium Hatch Green Chili.

Runner Up for PermaBoxing: Standard size bag 'o' Cheetos.

Tripler
I was going to say "Runner Up is 'First Loser'" but we're all winners should either case happen.

Absolutely! Do it again.

[SamuelA]

I wasn't talking to you C2h5OH. But if you're going to be self-centered and arrogant to thikn the whole world revolves around you, then you must be special. Wrong on so many levels, but thanks for trying! AI has been crucial in mappign the genome, as used at places with biomedical and supercomputing resources happen to be, like National Laboratories.

I can't help it if you people are too stupid to know basic fundamental, accept the basics that things are working that are more advanced than you know, or you accept the future. I'll just have to leave you to your sticks and stones, while the rest of us in modern civilization survive. Good luck to you. . youre going to need it.

You're right, in a world where our leader recommends a sunburned ass and a Clorox enema to fight a pandemic, we need luck, lots of good luck. Please don't waste another minute trying to straighten us out, you've got work to do.

Here's a perennial question that seems to confound you.

"Cite?"

Provide links.

Further detail for you: "Which, 'National Laboratories'?"
