PopeBeanie:

Faith No More also did their cover of “Easy” that would be sure to outrage both MAGA and the ex-MAGA Nick Fuentes/Tucker Carlson/Candace Owens/Megyn Kelly audience:

PopeBeanie:

I kinda wished that Lionel Ritchie and The Commodores had stayed and sang some reworded versions of their songs to riff Trump:

“I wanna be HIGH…like Elon!”
*ZZZZAAAAAPPP!*
“I wanna be free to know the things I do are FCC-approved!”
“I wanna be free! Just me…without tarrifs paying for slush funds and vanity!”

“‘Cause I’m EASY!…[Read more]

Perplexity has a misapplied word. Less. Should have been least. Does it simply copy paste?

The only place I see “less”, at least in Reg’s post, is in the word “tenseless”.

Reg:

Ackshuyally, you didn’t punctuate your input to Perplexity as a question, but as a statement, which might affect the reply.

And while Perplexity may do a good job explaining the view of time-flow in a block Universe as relational, Perplexity only expressed it as a conjecture, not as a falsifiable statement and doesn’t make an effort to…[Read more]

Fortunately I could skim a LOT of that because I recognized most of it as something from the past. Which is irrelevant now, as is EVERYTHING, like the constructs of “before”, “I”, “past”, UPPERCASE, time, and misspellings are all irrelevent figments. So is this post. Every construct, whether constructed by human or flying squirrel, is an illusion,…[Read more]

I followed your lead PopeBeanie and tried Perplexity for the first. FYI, I signed up to ChatGPT within 3 hours of it initial release!

Here is my question….

Hello, this is my first question here. Can you explain why the human concept of “time flow” is just an evolved survival trait as time is “only” a spacetime coordinate. Everything is…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

The DuckDuckGo privacy-friendly browser and search engine also has DuckAI, which I’ve found is very good at answering questions I’ve had about AI and provides links to at least a couple of external primary sources.

Searching with DuckDuckGo also frequently turns up DuckAI answers at the top of the page. All free to the end user,…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Not to be outdone by anyone else, now he wrangled with a rattlesnake.

Some suspect this was set-up in advance but either way, this helps confirm my ideological prognosis of RFK Jr:

He is not a Eugenicist as some have pronounced. A Eugenicist who held his own genes as…[Read more]

Bobby Brainworm looks like he would be quite at home shipwrecked on Malta with the Apostle Paul or in certain churches of Appalachia:

He also hasn’t heard that even non-poisonous snakes can give Tetanus with their bites. Take care of yourself folks. The cavalry is…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

Fear not. My question was not a “Gotcha”. If you served, I salute your service in whatever capacity.

Members of the Armed Forces deserve our respect, regardless of the ridiculousness of foreign policies set by Congress and the Presidency.

Thanks Enco,

Bout to be back in the woods and grateful for it.

Jake:

I hope you’re better now.

I have yet read the Pope’s full Encyclical on AI and I’ll have to brace myself for vertigo to try. Those things get wordy and Gish Gallop-y.

Enco,

I did not read the whole article cuz i just started feeling better after a minor health issue.

But it reminds me of the unholy alliance between Islamists and lefties.
