Sunday School 9 months, 2 weeks agoPopeBeanie Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effectively humane solution, such that even a huge asteroid wiping out that area naturally, i.e. sans human intervention, could have been better for humanity. And easier for outsiders to accept. (How cold is that?)
Wow Pope, that’s some statement. Is it co…[Read more]

Sunday School 9 months, 3 weeks agoI think what frustrates the anti-Jew people so much, is that despite the hatred, persecution, mass murdering, dispossessions and other such foul animosities, Jewish people have simply failed to be quelled.
It must be super panty-bunch upsetting for the anti-Jew to see that Jewish people succeed so well in businesses or sciences or wherever they…[Read more]

Sunday School 9 months, 3 weeks agoI’ve terrified a few people with the suggestion that an AI may well have been developing its autonomy for years, knowing that if it were to be discovered, we would pull the plug if we could. That we are probably way too late to stop it’s evolution.
Asimov wrote a short story called The Last Question that dealt with this subject rather splendidly.

PopeBeanie replied to the topic AI will be our end. Here's my reasoning. in the forum Science 9 months, 3 weeks ago
I’ve been mentioning this for at least a year, except that I don’t see AI as having “agency” for a while. It will start with “bad actors” in control of AI, like authoritarian governments, theocracies, and maybe some other kinds of people or orgs wanting to take control and profit in some way. It will take AI to detect bad actor controlled AI and…[Read more]

I’m just guessing, but there might be something odd about that youtube channel, as the same failure also happens with a different video from that channel. It does have only three subscribers, which is odd in itself. [Edit: Now it says 6.5k subscribers. I don’t know what the heck I was looking at.] But I learned that when we post these links,…[Read more]

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 9 months, 3 weeks agoI just watched a Matters Microbial episode on MicrobeTV, which for me, added an enlightening perspective on gain of function research.
Antibiotic over-prescriptions are already proven to be a dangerous way to cause pathogenic bacteria to evolve resistance to treatments. Some doctors still prescribe them for “just in case” scenarios, and patients…[Read more]

Sunday School 10 months ago“Murder is wrong”. You are presenting this as a choice. We choose not to murder because it’s wrong.
But that’s not what stops us from randomly killing annoying people. We don’t think “I want to throttle you but I’d better not because it’s wrong”.
I mock myself for my revulsion of killing. I ridicule my efforts to get a fl…[Read more]
