Reg, how long before your superpowers will be executed by AI without need for a human?

Enco,

I don’t think they are hiding it as AI.

They are trying to follow Arthur C. Clarke’s dictum that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”…But they only have the grandiosity of magic without yet any of the omnific benevolence or competence.

A person has dignity, legal protection, bodily safety, freedom of conscience, and freedom of expression. A belief has no skin to bruise, no liberty to imprison, no mouth to silence, and no claim to immunity from scrutiny.

You have rights; your beliefs do not.

All that, ‘cept The Trump Phone doesn’t exist:

Here is what the future of MAHA could mean for healthcare, although we have also experienced it too many times in the past. Fast forward to 49:45 and watch to 54:20:

Mystery Science Theater 3000 never got real deep into riffing on religion, but when they did, they really hit home! Joel and the Bots could…[Read more]

Religion is the worst cancer ever visited on humanity.

And in terms of the dodger blue bleeding for the nakba i doubt ten percent of the lefties have any knowledge of the ethnic cleansing of Jews in the middle east and…[Read more]

I did not know. Figures though. Screw up a wet dream…

Yet another distraction from a poorly-executed war, an economy in the crapper, the Epstein Files, and a Hantavirus outbreak that could be worse than COVID-19. The pictures aren’t even as good as past ones:

Any SETI programs on other worlds is surely up for a ton of let-down…[Read more]

A very quick-witted reply.

Here is AI response to “Do chimps have culture?”

Yes, chimpanzees exhibit culture, defined as behaviors that are socially transmitted rather than genetically inherited or caused solely by ecological factors. Different chimpanzee communities across Africa possess unique traditions—such as specific tool usage, grooming techniques, and c…[Read more]

”We Homo Sapiens just surround our wars with ideology and religion” is quite a profound statement.

This fits in with the behaviours of some of the far flung tribal groups I’ve lived with. For them, religion is a comfort, not a cause. They still have aggression, but the dividers between ‘them’ and ‘us’ are more commonly tribal root orientat…[Read more]

World of Woo: Facilitated communication.

Funny, influencers try to do that with the non-autistic.

I may be your token believer, but you have to admit, Star Trek, Tony Stark, and a lot of other “science myths” are fun aspects of telling some powerful  – very human – stories! I know, I know – the worldview of many of these fictional universes generally support you all as “unbelievers” but human…[Read more]

Just because today is Zombie Jesus’ Re-Birthday doesn’t mean you have to emulate him.🧟‍♀️😁

Above all, please don’t emulate all the Leftie “Liberation Theology” concern trolls who like to say how un-Christian Trump is. We get enough Theocratic politics from the Right and Trump is a delusional destructive asshole with or without…[Read more]

There was both an animated version and a LARP version (the one with Patrick Warburton) of The Tick. Could both of those be the ones you like repeating? Both are hilariously great!

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was Light Years ahead of their time and our present zeitgeist on the use of empathy as a weapon.

(it’s always good to be invited back, even if I need to grow up a bit more)

Well written and cogent the article about Islamic terror apologists. Just a couple of thoughts. Those two billion are mostly victims but not as perceived by the lefties. Just more idiots swept up by the rivers of belief and imposed morality. I think and hope a clash of…[Read more]

Joel Hodgson of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 had great fun parodying The Amazing Criswell here:

There was another skit on Microwave Faith Popcorn that I’ll try to find.

Professor Jiang is just the latest iteration of what The Amazing Criswell was in his time:

Remember, “the future is where you and I will spend the rest of our lives, whether we want to or not.” And “The events of the future will affect you in the future.” 😁

So it seems like it’s really the sympathizers and skeptics that are fucking us all over. I’m remembering that quote that the only thing needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

Lol is another mindless utterance. What sort of laugh is silent?

Here is another time study video.

I would put my money on no reality. Not the standard model. Not the block. Not parallel. Not string. Not multiverse. Not steady state. Not oscillating.

Reality of course doesn’t care where you put your money, especially the quadrants of timespace labeled “Federal Reserve 1913”, “Savings & Loan 1987”, “Housing Market 2007” or “Congress and…[Read more]

Here is how Revolutionary Change describes itself:

Revolutionary Change is necessary when the political and electoral systems have failed to address the needs of society. Revolutionary Change is what needs to happen when people realize that they have been manipulated and lied to by their governments and their “leadership.”…

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

Yes, and we’ve wrecked every single one.  We can’t compare one species with another to say one is better than the other.  Like you say, each is optimised for their environment.
