No, you didn’t. “No” meant, “no, your presumptive train of thought was incorrect.” The rest of the text should’ve clued you in as to what was meant so long as you properly exclude what was assumed before the “no”.

If this is still difficult for you, there are many resources out there to improve reading comprehension.

'I’m sure you hear this kind of thing all the time" … “NO, …”

I swear, some people have failed so hard to raise their children that “no” remains a foreign concept in to adulthood… It’s so utterly insane. (no I don’t assume that over autism/etc usually but in this context?)

I mean, maybe a bad therapist…Which I will fully admit there are A LOT of bad therapists out there.

They don’t turn a blind eye. It’s just that the VPN’s that work through China’s firewall do so over ports that the entire internet uses, like 443 (https). They could filter everything, but it’d be a loooot more resource intensive to filter all internet traffic by destination/content instead of only doing that with extra ports that extra services like VPNs normally use.

… and as others have pointed out, there ARE valid reasons to allow some VPNs. Forcing them to jump through hoops to function is no skin off their back, while properly filtering all traffic would be disasterous for them beyond the expense.

Immitation and simulation are not the same thing as they’re being used in this discussion. You’re literally arguing semantics to try and win, which means you have no logical point on which to stand.

No, it’s not simulating the intelligence part. It’s a mimicry at best that idiots anthropomorphise and misunderstand as a simulation.

Nope they won’t! Not as far as being in actual shape. Sure, many activities don’t need great abs, but every time I slack off and then give them a normal workout, they complain a lot after, which indicates they’re tiring a lot compared to other muscles.

But it’s not simulated intelligence. It’s literally just word association on steroids. There are no thoughts it brings to the table, just words that mathematically fit following the prompts.
