If anyone can be accused of manipulation it might be the CIA but only if they refused to share any doubts they had about their own intelligence with the president.
They didn't. Cheney and Rumsfeld manipulated the CIA report to push poor dumb George into a costly and foolish war.
McCarthy pushing his own agenda? What was that, exactly?
Making specious accusations of anybody and everybody who dared to criticize him. However, he did so inefficiently as he lacked the twitter account of the current idiot-in-chief.
Among other things, a false assumption, same as your false assumption of global catastrophe
Like the false assumption that the earth orbits the sun, when it is obvious that the sun orbits the earth - just look up! Or, the assumption that you are not an idiot.
Note that Bariss did all this while on parole for a prior conviction for various computer crimes. He even hacked into private networks while in prison, even though he was supposed to not have any access to a computer.
To me, the acid test is: if critics praise something as great art, would they be just as impressed if they didn't know who made it?
There are many cases of celebrated works that, when revealed to be a hoax, caused the critics to suddenly reverse their opinions as to how "artistic" it is.
Similarly, there have been cases of well-known artists submitting their work using a made up name of someone unfamous. The result? Nobody pays any attention to it.
Neuroscientists are currenty trying to get a grip on the nervours system of c. elegans, a tiny worm with a grand total of 300 neurons.
They have a long way to go, as that even after mapping those 300 neurons six years ago, the scientists involved have gained only a very limited understanding of what those neurons actually do.
At this rate, understanding a mouse brain is decades away.
The first modern electric car was the EV1, made by GM, and they self-destructed the program because it got more interest than they were expecting
No, it was pulled because it ran on heavy lead-acid batteries, and could barely go up a hill. The ecar movement was impossible before LiOn batteries were available.

one has to wonder just how far off the mark McCarthy was
Since several Jews have done bad things, one has to wonder just how far off the mark the Nazis were. /s

Power production is an engineering task. Leave it to the engineers to solve.
Except the engineers never make the big decisions. Their penny-pinching bosses do.
WOOOOOSH!!
For example, remote Amazon tribes have no effect on the environment as a whole.
Yeah? How about those millions of carbord boxes full of Chinese junk that they ship around the world?

So you are agreeing with squiggleslash: the US is both a democracy and a republic.
I was thinking of them fighting a duel.
One of the most well-informed posts I have ever read by an AC.
No, the author of this ignorant puff-piece is hoping that the readers are stupid or ignorant or both.
Also; if it works: Good bye no-FTL information transfer.
Nonsense. The knowledge that the system detected an enemy aircraft still reaches the radar operators no faster than the speed of light.

The turing test can tell you whether an AI has equivalent capabilities to a human artist, but can it tell you whether the AI has conscious experience?
Of course not, so the distinction is of no importance.
You quote the Heritage Foundation?
Total bullshit.
Searle is a joke.
He identifies one part of a complex system as being "not intellignet" then assumes that this applies to the whole system.
That doesn't make the tiniest shred of sense.
They should start small, say a rat brain.

I didn't know anybody was making movie for big slow-moving marine mammals.
Get a load of the science denier
What science?

No, it was pulled because it ran on heavy lead-acid batteries, and could barely go up a hill.
The ecar movement was impossible before LiOn batteries were available.
In any case, it's a rare physics experiment that doesn't produce some new insight, even if it has nothing to do with the original aim.
Rtb61 isn't a profit-making business, idiot.
1 In 4 Statisticians Say They Were Asked To Commit Scientific Fraud
Actually, it was 25% +- 3% 4 times out 5.
