@WilliamThibeau I'm pretty sure the machines will run out of memory often and crash , making them smarter than humans briefly until they reach a critical error

A cult within Silicon Valley is most aggravated the Pope won’t accede to their vision of computers ever possessing a soul. In their outrage, this cult conducts a fundamental category error by insisting machines will soon be smarter than humans, so we better adjust now. It is this exact insistence on correlating human identity with intellect and capacity that @Pontifex rightly condemns.

@tech__unicorn Quite possible it was achieved briefly and then ran out of memory and the compute and energy cost meant it had to be shut down after a few days due to budget constraints .

the elites don't want you to know this but we've already achieved AGI - the labs know - the government knows the reason you're still getting "impressive but not quite there" announcements is because nobody has figured out what happens to markets, jobs, and governments the day the world actually believes it so we're in a managed disclosure buying time Anthropic please!

back in 2003 the video game #commandandconquer #Generals featured the paladin tank with a laser that intercepted missiles and drones. Most USA faction vehicles were upgradeable with #drones for recon or combat. I meditate on how similar this game is to combat in 2026 #war

@Jontom2017 @ninjashoes Where in the sumerian or babylonian account says that the seed of the woman shall crush the serpent?

@ninjashoes so you know that the old testament is just plagiarised sumerian and babylonian creation myths and new testament is just standard rehash of the solar messiah story

I am a guy who got into ancient aliens, realized it was bullshit, started studying real Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian mythology and ended up coming full circle to the real truth…and that truth is Christianity. No not “Judaism” or Islam, I am talking about the real truth!

@DispoH3R0 @ninjashoes What if the children weren't human and would grow up to destroy the remnants of humanity?

Christ would never drown the earth to make a point. Idgaf what the Bible says or doesn’t say. If the man was Love Incarnate, infinitely powerful, and infinitely creative— you don’t drown innocent children. The stories presented in the Bible are a Jewish psyop. I can’t tell you wtf really happened. But I know whatever Christ is, he is truly the living God when you feed the poor and cloth the naked. Heal the sick. Drive out demons. Not vague bullshit. So whatever your denomination; whatever you believe. Stop debating the truth- go fucking do the work to bring about the Kingdom.

If "alien" technology were disclosed next week by the US government would you believe them wholeheartedly or see it as a distraction since elections are coming later this year #aliens #scifi #disclosure #ET

@CptAncapistan needs a remaster (not a remake)

This is the greatest piece of Star Wars media ever produced. I will not be taking counter-arguments at this time.

@blaisew_c I know from the Total War series that Japanese Buddhist warrior monks fought wars between different monasteries and were very violent.

Westerners romanticize Buddhism because it was popularized here in a stripped-down form by D. T. Suzuki as a kind of therapeutic practice rather than a religion. We think it's just meditating and believing in "karma". But it is a religion. It just has the benefit of unfamiliarity

With first-person footage from modern battles, it’s hard not to think you’re watching a video game. Counter-Strike: Myanmar Offensive 😂

Someone in America needs to start a men's only gym chain. As a Catholic man that needs to lift and do cardio for physical and mental health, it's a war to keep custody of my eyes every single time. Women do not wear appropriate clothing. It's gross.

You don't need advice from editors on rejected manuscripts.  My short story “Ender's Game” was rejected by Ben Bova at Analog back when that was the top market for a sci-fi story. Ben gave me feedback. He thought the title should be “Professional Soldier” and he said to “cut it in half.” But I knew he was wrong on both points and submitted it to Jim Baen at Galaxy. He sat on it for a year, and responded to my query with a rejection. There was some kind of explanation, but I don't remember what it was. I concluded at the time that Baen's comments showed that he had barely glanced at the story. So … I got feedback both times, but it was not helpful. I looked at Ben's rejection again. What was it about the story that made him think it should, let alone COULD, be cut in half? Apparently it FELT long. What made it feel long? Now, post-Harry Potter, I would call it the quidditch problem. I had too many battles in which the details became tedious. So I cut two battles entirely, merely reporting the outcomes, and shortened another. In retyping the whole manuscript (pre-word-processor, that was the only way to get a clean manuscript), I added new point-of-view material to the point that I had cut only one page in length. So much for “in half.” But I already knew that my manuscripts did not need cutting — if it wasn't needed, it wouldn't be there in the first place. Even the battles were still there, but instead of showing them, I merely told what happened (so much for the usually asinine advice “show don't tell”), which kept the pace going. Those changes made, I sent it to Ben again. I did not remind him of what he had advised me to do. I merely told him I liked my title, and said, “I have addressed your other concerns,” which was true. I figured he wouldn't remember what his exact words had been. My answer was a check. That revised story was the basis for my winning the Campbell Award for best new writer. Did Ben's feedback help? Yes — but his specific advice was not right, and I knew it. On my next two submissions, Ben hated my endings, and I revised as suggested. The fourth submission he rejected outright, and the fifth, and I thought, Am I a one-story writer? I went back to Ender's Game and tried to analyze why it worked. Then, deliberately imitating myself, I wrote “Mikal's Songbird.” Ben bought it, and it received favorable mentions. I was afraid then that I had consigned myself to writing stories about children in jeopardy. But in fact I was writing character stories rather than idea stories. And THAT was how I built a career, not by self-imitation, and not by following editorial suggestions. I did get wise counsel from David Hartwell on my novel Wyrms, but that was on a book that was already under contract, and it was story feedback, not style. I got wise counsel from Beth Meacham, too, on various books over the years — but again, only on books that were under contract. I also received appallingly stupid advice from the editor of my novel Saints, which temporarily destroyed the book's marketability; after that, I was allowed to go back to my original structure and save the book — now it's one of my best. Editors don't know more than you about your story. They especially don't know why they decide to accept or reject stories. YOU have to know what your story needs to be, and take only advice that you believe in. Your best counselor on a story nobody bought is TIME. Let some time pass and then reread the story. Don't even think about why it Didn't Work. Instead, think about what DOES work, and then write it again, a complete rewrite, keeping nothing from the previous draft. Find the right protagonist and begin at the beginning — the point where the protagonist first gets involved with the events of the story. Be inventive — the failed first draft no longer exists, so you're not bound by any of your earlier decisions. THAT is how you resurrect a good idea you did not succeed with on your first try.

On a scale from 1-10, how would you rate Rogue One?

I have been advised that the incident which occurred earlier today at the San Fernando City Corporation Municipal Police station on Kings Wharf was not an external attack on the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) or the National State security services. It was an internal betrayal perpetrated against the Trinidad and Tobago Municipal Police Service (TTMPS) attached to the San Fernando City Corporation. It should be noted that The TTPS is a distinct entity from the TTMPS. TTPS officers were not involved in the incident. The Ministry of Homeland Security and the TTPS will provide full support to TTMPS, San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris and the San Fernando City Corporation to investigate and bring this matter to closure and recover the stolen items. Secondly, I have also been advised that the corpses discovered at the Cumuto Cemetery were actually unclaimed bodies that were being improperly disposed off and NOT victims of Homicide. This matter will also be resolved in the coming days. There is NO need for any curfew. Law enforcement continues to make progress to subdue our over two decades old crime crisis. Law abiding citizens are encouraged to go about their lawful business as usual. I thank Commissioner of Police (CoP) Guevarro and his TTPS officers for responding swiftly to the incidents at the San Fernando City Corporation Municipal Police Station and the Cumuto Cemetery.

When I was a kid I'd read sci fi adventures where they'd use 200-year-old weapons handed down from the ancients alongside cutting edge hypertech superweapons and, like a fool, I'd complain it was unrealistic.
