Sunday School 3 months, 1 week agoSimon…about the reply from the evangelical street hawker – He was confused as to why I treated what he said as a subjective claim rather than an objective truth. These people are very well versed in controlling the conversation. They can dodge the question or reply with a question and most people don’t realize this.
EG, if I say I don’t b…[Read more]

Someone said that the reason LLM validates @kingiyk‘s “proof” of God’s existence, is that the internet is full of information and discourse that agrees with it. Whereas, there’s not much on the true existence of Dracula. So, the LLM repeats what it sees.
There’s the whole article in last week’s Sunday School about how AI validates what people w…[Read more]

i saw that in JP but did not read it. My assumption was that the putative basis for denying Israelis was to keep them safe and i am thinking sure let the aggressors watch and ban the targets of aggression. But no it is the zionists who are the threat!
Yet another reason not to let AI as it exists now be in charge of anything.
A really bright intelligence would say to the Constable: “Sooo…Let’s see what the 5th and 14th Amendment case law says on cases like this…Oh,wait…You Brits don’t have a written Constitution or Bill of Rights. There’s your trouble…And as for cultural ethos, don’t…[Read more]
Jake, another thing a really bright AI would instruct the Constable is to either provide adequate security for all parties or use emergency powers and tell everybody: “No nice things for you “
