Irish people - including people of Irish - or even part Irish - extraction - should pray this every day. It only takes a few minutes.
As the baroque realisation of a choral reef of bizarre categories it actually sounds mildly interesting, and may even amount to a very, very slight aesthetic justification for the woke era.
The Japanese need to understand. The rest of the world is not like the Christian Americans who protected and helped them rebuild after WW2. The other nations of the world want to loot them. To take everything they have.
Evangelicals are partly to blame for the collapse of Middle Eastern Christianity. They are the biggest supporter of wars which destroy Christians. But it goes way deeper than that. They view Christians like Assyrians in Iraq as a pawn to expand their footprint as "authentic" Christians. They can be so brazen that they even set up local organizations & try to convert *Apostolic Christians* to *their* brand of American Christianity. Imagine destroying an Apostolic, Aramaic speaking Christian community which is 2000 years old. Then setting up an NGO to convert them to Megachurch Protestantism through bribery & handouts. Isn't that insane?
The fact that it cannot commit seppuku but conceivably could write things that might pass for the jisei of a samurai written before seppuku is why generative AI is a great existential problem.
So long as generative AI can produce music each melody no longer bears the presumption of being a glory to the human mind that wrote it. Remember that before AI we walked in a world we took for granted was ivied with the laurels of human minds in their great and small glory.
Someone used Suno AI to generate a Japanese metal band called Neon Oni. Fake member bios, AI-generated music videos, "Based in Tokyo" on Spotify. 80,000+ monthly listeners. Fans had it in their Spotify Wrapped top 5. Merch was selling. Then, community sleuths exposed it. Traced the creator's account to Europe. Spotted AI-generated hands in the music videos. The creator's response? Recruit 7 real musicians from actual Tokyo bands to perform the AI-generated songs live. They've now played several live shows and have more on the books. From an interview with the band's creator: "In an age where AI is taking everyone's jobs, this has actually created jobs. It's done the complete opposite." The AI --> real band transformation is a wild one.
It’s an unsavory topic that was best avoided but it’s not me doing this. Well over 50% of the content promoted under guise of red pill by Elon & co is indistinguishable from black supremacy propaganda including all content from accounts like @RadioGenoa and @GarbageHuman24

Things can be startlingly simple at times. It may be that the best thing the Irish can do for our physical health and power is actually to eat shamrocks (p. 351; 355-7). x.com/turbarius/stat…
