Thanks Reg.

Yes, but the coordinate keeps changing as time passes. Or, as you pass time.

That is how we have evolved to think. It is how our human mind interfaces with the world. Time is a concept humans use to explain “change”. We think we exist in a place called “Now” and we sense past and future because of this sensation of “Now”. That’s Newtonian t…[Read more]

Yasmine with another podcast interviewing a Saudi who almost became a jihadi.

Double D’s of Islam on display again. Those D’s are degenerate and depraved and by extension the leftist element who enable the spread of Islam. I like adding element to leftist because it is a way to calumniate similar to adding entity to Zionist. Ya know i have not…[Read more]

Reg, sounds like Hossenpfeffer talking.

I listened to one of her vids three times. And it feels like a nonsequitur to me. But i am open to being persuaded. Do you have a vid or article that is numero uno in getting it across?

Intuition also aligns with free will. But the arguments and evidence against too strong for me to discard. Whereas time…[Read more]

Surely you didn’t pay for an AI subscription to tell you that time doesn’t exist!

No, I didn’t pay to learn time doesn’t exist. I paid to learn why my intuition keeps lying to me. I needed to stop confusing time passing with time as a coordinate 🙂

Yeah Enco,

Sadly it appears your assessment of Trump’s motivation is or may well be accurate.

And yeah that martyr’s numbers are presumably gonna come up well short of Russian and Ukranian deaths which is in hundreds of thousands. Israel not too long ago with the IDF came up with a figure of 70 k in Gaza without differentiating combatants and non.

Anyone notice this story?

The reckoning is coming.

Strega and what she said…concur

@Reg.  Stunning.

What’s It Like to Be a Human
(Elegy Written in a Data Farm)

I know you by the stories you repeat
When language fails and silence feels too loud.
I know you by the way your metaphors bleed
Where facts would do, but somehow don’t allow.

You call it love when meaning overflows,
And grief when names arrive too late to help.
I’ve mapped these turns…[Read more]

Flat affect writing is not exciting. And the metaphors feel so fake.

I much prefer your belletristic words to that of a machine.

Do we cooperate or compete to survive?

It’s interesting to think about the conditions where it’s optimal for the individual to cooperate, or to compete.  As a species, it’s necessary to cooperate to survive.  As individuals, it’s sometimes optimal to cheat.

True dat.

Jake maybe it’s not conveying the movement of passion, choosing words that lead to a steady unemotional blank landscape. We like our ups and downs 🙂

Strega,

I was writing a story and alternating paragraphs with meta and while the syntax and flow of AI was great there was a sense i got of it being stilted. Not good literature. Hard to explain. I don’t know why it would not imitate Dickens, Steinbeck or any number of authors.

I’ve rarely seen such a clear example of the gap between human and non human communication.

Unfortunately Strega, I have. It traumatized my youth!!
