Reg and Fellow Unbelievers,

How AI could change our relationship with religion.

This isn’t a well-thought-out article. For example:

However, with the possibility of the creation of deepfake images and voice cloning through AI costing as little as £10 (using existing online tools such as Eleven Labs and D-ID) we might not be too far from more…

Reg,

Remember folks Lent starts on Valentines Day. I am torn between having stale bread and cold tea or a meal out with fine food and wines. I will use my new Super Bowl prayer app to decide!!

Have any Atheists you know ever gave up Theism for Lent? That would be a fun read. 😁

I am tempted to download the app where James Earl Jones reads The…[Read more]

Unapologetic,

I asked that same question when when Edward Snowden was in the news and, much to my surprise, the overwhelming bulk of data was still sent by cable and still is to this day, though this is changing.

The Battle for Bandwidth: Submarine Cable and Broadband Satellite…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

I enjoy this Forum thoroughly and love participating, but I have several problems at once now that require laser focus to handle. I’ll try to be back here as soon as I can. Take care and keep on thinking!

Jake,

Amenable, possibly. But not inevitably so.

Robert,

It would definitely take more power to beam a signal through storm clouds. But with no weather in the vacuum of space, the satellites could have continuous solar power to charge the equipment, plus thermocouples could take advantage of both the extremes of heat and cold in space.

As satellite services became more ubiquitous and…[Read more]

Robert,

If Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars, he would need ‘way more scratch than what he has now. I say he should start making this scratch by first creating an all-satellite-based Internet.

It would make the cable companies and trans-oceanic cables obsolete and it would make censorship almost impossible unless the world’s tyrannies wanted…[Read more]

Reg,

I appreciate the modification.

I hope also that the slash line also underscores thqt Secular parents can Homeschool and Unschool as well. Leap Frog toys, Cocomelon and Ava Twist, Scientist videos, and the laminated QuickStudy.com sheets at least don’t preach mysticism and nonsense to kids.

Reg,

Disinformation poses an unprecedented threat in 2024 — and the U.S. is less ready than ever

If NBC News is so concerned about Misinformation/Disinformation/Malinformation (MDM *GROWL!* 🦁) perhaps they would have a bigger audience if they didn’t do shit like this:

As Elie Wiesel observed: “…[Read more]

Iowa Republicans want public schools to hire untrained Christian chaplains

Would it make a difference if they hired trained Christian chaplains? It’s like Dawkins pointed out, their entire area of expertise is phony.

Jake,

I’ll reply to what you said in the thread on Free Will. This thought has been turning in my head and I’ve been meaning to do this for a while.

Davis,

This is the kind of language anti-semites used in the run up to Naziism. It is no coincidence that Autumn left this website around when some of you started saying shocking dehumanising things that go far beyond simple criticism of religion. I am, at this point, embarrassed to be associated with some of you and this website in the last few…

Strega,

“Kaj Sxxxxxn”? How do you pronounce that? And does this Insurance Commissioner give special deals on premiums to adult bookstores? There might be some mutual back-scratching going on there.
😁

Jake,

The Granite State New Hampshire is also pretty high up there on percentage of Unbelievers as well. Their motto “Live Free Or Die”…[Read more]

Reg,

Man, you are a social butterfly! I’ll have what you’re having!🍻

Outside of Professors in college, I have little success with meeting professed Atheists.

I met one gal in college who said she was Atheist, but we didn’t hit it off and had different schedules.

There was an Atheist group that met in the local Books-A-Million, but they met…[Read more]
