Teaching my AI to stutter and discover other annoying affectations so that nobody suspects it's AI

@theblessedsalt Soon as you see apostatizing nuns in the trailer you could write it off

They crossed the plot with the Bible? Dang, this is gonna be illiterate slop, isn’t it?

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.

@silentsam74 @eigenrobot You should contemplate on how fire and consuming are related

@eigenrobot This may have been debunked since but I'm pretty sure I read an interesting theory about how fire>cooking>more calories enabled the extra energy that really enabled the human brain power explosion

long term i'm guessing AI ends up easily bigger than the internet, probably bigger than writing, somewhat lower than language

Two individually marked bumble bees are shown in a tunnel used for affective contagion experiments. ⁠ ⁠ Bees that briefly interacted with conspecifics in a positive affective state in this tunnel later showed more optimistic responses to ambiguous flowers.⁠ ⁠ The discovery shows that even insects can share affective states, tracing the roots of affect and social cognition deep into evolution. ⁠ ⁠ Learn more in a 2025 issue of Science for #WorldBeeDay: scim.ag/3JaoOVN

Salvador Dali ‘The Joy of the Blessed’ - Divine Comedy, Paradiso Canto 24

The Orthodox Church performs an abomination every year in Jerusalem, at Pascha no less, desecrating the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with the fraudulent so-called 'holy fire'. Multiple clergy who themselves have administered this parlor trick are on video admitting the fraud, explaining that the reason not to end the practice is fear of the opinion of men, and of losing station within the Temple administration. Is this what the Lord taught us to do? The fraud is perpetrated with the consent, "verification", and collaboration of the Israeli police forces and Ministry of Foreign Affairs; who coordinate the transport of the entirely man-made fire via chartered plane to countries like Greece, Serbia, and Russia. In no uncertain terms has it been claimed throughout history that this fire is a 'miracle' descended from heaven, a "lying sign and wonder" indeed, though today after repeated exposures the claim is sometimes reduced to a soft implication. Thousands of faithful nevertheless travel yearly to be duped, merchandised by priests and the Israeli tourism board, made a mockery of with 'demonstrations' of efficacy and strained defenses. All who love the Truth must be wary of this charade, and the structures that enable its promulgation and belief, all the more as it occurs at what is considered the holiest site in Christianity.

Bryan Johnson will eventually, through rigorous exploration and testing, arrive at the correct experimental conclusion that Christ is the only path to defeating death

@giantgio He was being facetious

Reductio ad absurdum is a terrible form of argument. Imagine if all arguments were reductio ad absurdums

I do firmly believe that light pollution has a lot to do with our loss of wonder in the modern age.

What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

Tell me one Pokémon that solos this entire lineup. I’ll wait. ☕️

Just as Hiroshima and Nagasaki were grotesquely out of proportion to the evil of the Pearl Harbor attack, what was done to Gaza is grotesquely out of proportion to the evil of the October 7 attack. What begins as a just cause is often corrupted by war’s self-righteous bloodlust.

seems pretty undeniable atp that cheap drones are a technological advancement on the scale of gunpowder, in terms of power rebalancing

@UltraTerm 😢

be aware that Ai generated images can be printed onto photo negatives an entire false family history could be created with Ai and presented as physical photo albums with negatives included
