I’ve been expecting American politics and authoritarinist success to keep getting worse, and they have. I don’t get why others here don’t seem to be as worried or bothered by it. So I hope it’s because I’m wrong. In any case, I ran into a more optimistic view that includes a more optimistic prediction, and it reminds me that we’ve survived similar…[Read more]

That Abby video critiquing her performance on Rogan is hilarious. She is such an incredibly transparent liar. Funniest part is around 4.15 in which Abby has to look down to conjure vagina.

Abby Martin is not new to being a liar.

Enco,

So easy to pig-pile on Jews. And it is such a scum move. Bottom of the bilge scum. Abby is one of many. When if ever a primetime debate featuring the foremost social media scum & lefty/Islamist academia scum against the Pro leave us the fuck alone? Prime time tv. The Jew hatred is so thick you could cut it with a keffiyeh. The tiniest…[Read more]

Yo, save some puke for her. And everyone of her cohorts.

There is so much AI slop online selling Woo to the vulnerable and gullible at the moment. But when I hear sports people or footballers promoting it, I want someone nearby to vomit all over them.

Taco Bell – Lettuce spray their new investigation turns up something more solid.

My usually retort to “being born a Catholic” is “No, I was born an atheist, without no beliefs in any gods, just like you were too”….

and….

“Please explain to me why children need to pray? Better they to go to a church where they can learn to fly”.

I was recently told by a student warrior that I cannot be a Zionist because I was an “Irish Catholic by birth” and “obviously I could never be Jewish”.

But I am a Zionist, I replied, and gave no more information. This bothered him greatly. His friend asked how was it possible for me to be a Zionist.

I replied “By using my right to…[Read more]

Reg meets his waterloo as Jake ascends to the stars

Two Irishman fighting over a copy of Dubliners walks into a bar. There a university student wearing a kaafiya and babbling about settler colonial apartheid something or other and how he wants to occupy a buxom and alluring university student and that it is justifiable resistance to take her by…[Read more]

**INTERNATIONAL BAR, DUBLIN — NIGHT**

A crowded bar. REG is standing beside two women, CLAIRE and AOIFE. The conversation has reached the dangerous point where someone has asked what he is interested in.

**CLAIRE**

So what do you do when you’re not working?

I think about why England survived Napoleon economically while Holland did…[Read more]

Reg made me think of this scene.

Yes, but you can install a local LLM on you home pc and ‘train it’ to be something like a “Feynman  Teacher”. The teaching system needs a policy that treats the student’s demonstrated understanding rather than the completion of the immediate problem, as the objective.

EG “Discuss the impact of the rapid economic development of the country af…[Read more]

Bet ya there’d be a market for socratic & sarcastic LLM’s.

Yes, I think so. It think that is a very good question. An AI trained only on pre-1905 knowledge might be less capable than one trained today, because modern AI can challenge classical assumptions partly because its training already contains Einstein’s challenge. When present-day AI suggests questioning absolute simultaneity, it is not i…[Read more]

I guess we could call on Feynman again with his cure for ‘metacognitive laziness’ and get students to learn the Feynman Technique first?

Explain the idea in plain language.
Notice where the explanation becomes vague.
Return to the source and repair the gap.
Explain it again without hiding behind jargon.

AI could be built into that process rather…[Read more]

Einstein’s originality did not emerge from knowing nothing that had gone before. He ‘stood on the shoulders of giants’ like Maxwell and Lorentz and others. Much of his work was reorganizing existing ideas around problems they had not fully resolved. For years Einstein clung to the prevailing cliché that the universe must be static. He later called…[Read more]

There is this interesting paper on the subject of how AI can make people lazy:

Of course, Einstein would have used AI. Using it does not mean outsourcing critical thought.

I think there is no way Einstein could have come up with his theories if he used AI to do his thinking.  AI summarises things well; but that means it only comes up with clichés.  It doesn’t do any original thinking, beyond su…[Read more]
