PopeBeanie:

I’m wondering it behavior like this is just not interesting to enough people any more? About 9 minutes:

It’s not that it’s not interesting, it’s just that every other fiasco from Trump and MAGA and the ineffectual opposition is also interesting. Everything is a distraction from everything else.

It’s like MAGA muse and Washington Town Drunk Steve Bannon* put it: “Flood the Zone with shit.”

* (Parenthetically, I thought it was a hilarious Freudian slip that Glenn Beck mistook Steve Bannon for Bruce Banner, alter ego of The Incredible Hulk.)

The real Nakba for the Arab people was Al-Quran, Al-Hadith, and Al-Sunnah and, of course, the enemies they made along the way.

Fellow Unbelievers,

And here’s the other story:

An AI CEO throwing warm bodies at problems, let alone war, should be an automatic disqualifier

Welp, my dreams of Man-And Machine Co-Existence just got shattered by two stories

RFK Jr.’s filthy paws SHOULDN’T be near hospital doorknobs without disinfectant and fire, let alone on robotic controls hovering over live patients!

More rotten Ecumunism:

Leo XIV grants the Order of Pius IX to the Iranian ambassador to the Holy See
https://infovaticana.com/en/2026/05/13/leo-xiv-grants-the-order-of-pius-ix-to-the-iranian-ambassador-to-the-holy-see/

Hey, Leo! There’s a third Golden Mean between being a Crusader and being a D’himmi suck-up! And you don’t have to love Orange Jesus in the White House to to hate the Islamic Republic!

Or, of course, maybe Leo wants to share notes on techniques of torture and persecution with the Mullahs.

You won’t want Ezekiel 4:9 Bread™ after reading the full chapter. The least of the problems with it is that the author of the verse didn’t believe in commas.

Sprouted Grain Bread/Ezekiel Bread/Food For Life
https://www.foodforlife.com/about_us/ezekiel-49

The bread actually has to be refrigerated to prevent molding which would probably give you Ergotism and make you see wheels in the sky.

But the real appetite-killer is how the bread was baked as told in the verse. It’s suppertime where I’m at, so I’ll let you read it on your own time as an epicac.🤮

If Food For Life™ lived by the full, literal passage of Ezekiel 4, life would not be for very long.

More rude virtue-signalling/publicly playing with food in the name of Jebus. Fortunately, most of the comments are antidotes for the viral contagion.

‘Think outside the bots’: How to stop AI from turning your brain to mush.

Against all my aversions to how AI works now, I decided to ask DuckAI some questions. I must say, it gave some thoughtful answers. Here I asked about how humans and AI could co-exist in ways that could benefit both:

Principles for beneficial human–AI coexistence
1. Complementary roles
Humans: set goals, exercise judgment, provide values, oversee downstream impacts.
AI: handle repetitive, data-heavy, or optimization tasks to increase productivity and reduce error.
2. Human-centered design
Build AI that supports human workflows, is interpretable, and offers clear ways for users to correct or override decisions.
3. Shared accountability
Define who is responsible for outcomes (developers, deployers, users). Ensure audit trails, human-in-the-loop checks for high-stakes decisions, and clear liability rules.
4. Safety and robustness
Require testing for edge cases, adversarial inputs, and failure modes; implement fallbacks and graceful degradation when AI is uncertain.
5. Fairness and inclusion
Use diverse training data, bias audits, and ongoing monitoring to reduce disparate impacts; involve affected communities in design and governance.
6. Transparency and explainability
Provide concise, actionable explanations for AI outputs and confidence estimates so humans can make informed decisions.
7. Privacy-respecting data practices
Minimize data collection, use anonymization/aggregation, and apply purpose-limited access controls.
8. Economic transition planning
Invest in workforce reskilling, social safety nets, and job-creation in human-centric roles (care, creativity, oversight, system maintenance).
9. Regulation and standards
Adopt proportionate rules, certification, and interoperable technical standards that encourage innovation while protecting safety, rights, and competition.
10. Ethical culture and governance
Organizations should embed ethics reviews, multidisciplinary oversight boards, and mechanisms for whistleblowing and public input.
Concrete actions (short roadmap)
Map tasks in a domain and reassign repetitive/unsafe tasks to AI while retaining human oversight for judgmental ones.
Deploy pilot systems with measurable KPIs, user feedback loops, and rollback plans.
Require explainability features and uncertainty scores in outputs.
Run regular bias, safety, and impact audits; publish summaries.
Fund training programs for workers to transition into oversight, design, and AI-augmented roles.
If you want, I can draft a one-page policy or an implementation checklist for a specific industry (healthcare, education, finance, or manufacturing).

Jake, I guess you might say he not a no-goodnik, he just misunderstood…

I hope Fullermingjr comes back and sees the same thing about us. Or at least sees us as too nerdy, pedantic, and esoteric to be a conspiracy.

Jake:

Damn! I could smell and feel the THC and brisket all the way through the the InterToobz!

Larry David achieved a breakthrough there! He could have had a successful summit with Malcolm X and Meir Kahane in the Sixties!

✡️🤜🏼🤛🏿🏙️

I just wonder, though: Why didn’t Larry David green-screen his alter ego doppelgänger instead of talking to a mirror, which he clearly was doing? Did the weed affect his production skills?🤪😁

[TheEncogitationer]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Anybody been in touch with Fullermingjr?

He seemed like a friendly enough fellow and the conversation seemed like it wouldn’t take a real crazy turn.

I was still curious as to what academic position he had where his views on Evolution and Transgenderism would matter.

That story shows yet one of many examples of Trump’s deranged, schizzy, cognitively dissonant, mismatched means and ends. Time for go-to-bed and nightly Boost, Gramps.

There are, though, many real problems with involvement with the Kurds.

The main immediate problem is that if we sent arms to the Kurds and they ended up using the arms to attack Türkiyé, a member of NATO, an immediate shitstorm ensues.

Türkiye’s Erdogan could evoke NATO’s Article 5 which basically says that an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all. Then, all of Europe and the United States are drawn into Türkiye’s war with an insurgent Kurdistan, and U.S. Armed Forces get fired upon by their own weapons from former Kurdish allies. This is not to mention the possibility of war between NATO members.

And this war could also to extend to Kurdish areas of Syria, Iraq, and Iran, so we have a war overlapping with the existing war with Iran and internecine conflicts within every nation involved.

None of the NATO situation or Türkiye’s absurd membership is Trump’s fault, of course, but any move Trump makes just augments the shitstorm.

Jake:

I just found out a couple of days ago myself. It wasn’t covered in broadcast media that I heard, only in written media. MAGA media would have good reason to be embarrassed by Trump’s obvious failure and everyone else in the media is always averse to the very idea of good-guy-with-a-gun stories.

[TheEncogitationer]

Jake:

Trump last month claimed to sending arms to Iranians via the Kurds, but then claimed the Kurds kept the arms instead of distributing them. So, Trump once again botched his moves in this war,

Trump Reveals U.S. Sent Weapons to Iranian Protesters via Kurdish Groups
https://www.thedefensenews.com/news-details/Trump-Reveals-US-Sent-Weapons-to-Iranian-Protesters-via-Kurdish-Groups/

The Kurds are also not the allies many in the West think just because they happen to be against Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkyie. The Kurds are themselves mostly Islamic and the big Kurdish group PKK is classified as a terrorist organization by the U.S.

This war requires brighter minds than TACO Trump and Pop-gun Pete Kegs-Breath. The “discernment” that Christians speak of has to be for all subjects, not just emergencies.

Weaponry has to reach people motivated to destroy the Mullah Regime and the IRGC. Perhaps as things get worse in Iran, the remnant of the regular military could be encouraged to mutiny.

[TheEncogitationer]

Jake:

Who knows? Maybe one day sooner than later, this will be what politics will look like in Iran and the rest of the Middle East, where they won’t even be able to get the name of their scapegoat right.
