PopeBeanie:

The DuckDuckGo privacy-friendly browser and search engine also has DuckAI, which I’ve found is very good at answering questions I’ve had about AI and provides links to at least a couple of external primary sources.

Searching with DuckDuckGo also frequently turns up DuckAI answers at the top of the page. All free to the end user,…[Read more]

Not to be outdone by anyone else, now he wrangled with a rattlesnake.

Some suspect this was set-up in advance but either way, this helps confirm my ideological prognosis of RFK Jr:

He is not a Eugenicist as some have pronounced. A Eugenicist who held his own genes as…[Read more]

Bobby Brainworm looks like he would be quite at home shipwrecked on Malta with the Apostle Paul or in certain churches of Appalachia:

He also hasn’t heard that even non-poisonous snakes can give Tetanus with their bites. Take care of yourself folks. The cavalry is…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

Fear not. My question was not a “Gotcha”. If you served, I salute your service in whatever capacity.

Members of the Armed Forces deserve our respect, regardless of the ridiculousness of foreign policies set by Congress and the Presidency.

Thanks Enco,

Bout to be back in the woods and grateful for it.

Jake:

I hope you’re better now.

I have yet read the Pope’s full Encyclical on AI and I’ll have to brace myself for vertigo to try. Those things get wordy and Gish Gallop-y.

Enco,

I did not read the whole article cuz i just started feeling better after a minor health issue.

But it reminds me of the unholy alliance between Islamists and lefties.

Jake:

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.

I am still trolling for fighter jet video companions. I’ve learned A LOT ever since air power would potentially be an issue during the Ukraine invasion. Air Force veteran here who did not even know the difference between any fighter jets, just radar jammers.

Oh, had you served?

Maybe that’s what Sleepy Don is dreaming about. /smh

I don’t take the closed eyes as a problem as seriously as many do. The poor guy stays up until the wee hours on social media for us.

Nothing distracting meant here. It all revolves around Trump in some way or another, since it is his world. /Sarcasm

And they say we hold nothing sacred:

At least we won’t have to worry about this coming out of Japan, unless they want to make another monster movie franchise.🕷️🐖😁:

Fellow Unbelievers:

If all you read is the headline below, and you were an anti-nuke Luddite, you might think that radiation created these “Super Pigs.”.

As you get into the story, though, you find this could happen anywhere that livestock and wildlife meet and are sufficiently alike genetically to produce fertile offspring. This could have…[Read more]

OK, fine. I can flood the zone with off-topic, distracting shit too. USA F-22 Raptor, the most capable fighter jet (with SEAD) in the world at the moment, up against two different kinds of fighter jets, basically guns-only. These dog fights will be unusual because the F-22 is also the stealthiest fighter in the world, so it would be winning the…[Read more]

Enco,

Fellow Unbelievers:

Some good news: Members of MAGA who supported war with the Mullahs are starting to share the rational critique that Trump has botched it and hasn’t achieved any of his professed goals:

Karen Hao seen from inside the beast the danger of making AI a god, as well as the great possibilities if AI is focused in the purposes for it’s use.

That woman’s not “locally real”, including her semi-bull frog voice. I was waiting for her to jump out of her lock box in the demolished building, grab her top hat and cane, and start singing “Hello, My Baby”, “The Michigan Rag”, “Come Back To Erin”, and “Figaro.”

I don’t know what happens when you try to catch the universe lying but i know what happens when you try to catch an ideologue.

Seriously though i gotta listen to that one again.
