@joytothewords_ I don't know... More like be more comfortable learning and growing instead of reaching for the spotlight cos that's a more unforgiving spot...
I find the sentiment sad, but then, I'm not a spotlight person.

How do you make all your mistakes now? What does that even mean?

"We need to be very careful about xenophobia... We need to understand that South Africa does not have a xenophobia problem... We have a Afrophobia problem."
Political analyst Pieter Kriel says attacks on African migrants in South Africa reflect afrophobia, driven by migration and economic pressures.

I was called unprintable names and dragged for 3 days across all social media platforms for saying this same thing but as usual, I am a patient man.😊 My only crime on social media has been the courage to say what everyone is thinking and know to be true but too scared to say.

When people say AI is "conscious" what they seem to mean is it's a mathematical model that has within it a representation of the model itself.
By this definition, a digital map that contains an active tracker of the map itself is also conscious, which is kind of silly.

@zugzwanged Only semi-related, but as someone who grew up in a poor (but good) family, it is too bad that the default US method of keeping out the riff-raff is "raise the price". That does exclude most of the riff-raff, but also other people.

No, the early Church didn't see the Bishop of Rome as "Prime Minister" with universal jurisdiction.Long before Protestants existed, Eastern bishops in the Mediterranean rejected Roman supremacy:
- 190 AD: Pope Victor I tried to excommunicate Asian churches over Easter. Polycrates of Ephesus and other Eastern bishops pushed back hard, citing apostolic tradition. Irenaeus rebuked Victor.
- The Church operated as a Pentarchy, five patriarchates (Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem) with Rome having primacy of honor, not monarchical power. Ecumenical councils (called by emperors, often led by Easterners) decided doctrine collegially.
- 1054 Schism: Rome and Constantinople mutually excommunicated over exactly this issue, papal supremacy, filioque, etc. The East never accepted the Pope as ruler over the whole Church.
"Catholic" means universal, yes, but the early Church was conciliar, not centralized under one "Prime Minister." Peter had a special role, but all bishops are apostolic successors.
The undivided Church looked more Orthodox than what Vatican I defined. History doesn't support universal Roman jurisdiction from the beginning.

@Thatnsukkaboy_ Catholic Church, not ""Roman Catholic Church"(term invented by Protestants). The Pope is the Successor of St Peter, so he is the "Prime Minister" of the whole (in greek "Catholic") Church of Christ

I genuinely had to check if this was real. The University of Exeter now offers a PhD in Magic and Occult Science. Even if you don’t believe in any of it, the sheer number of absurd courses our universities are offering students is staggering. I would love to shut this down.

@yinksie_ Exactly. The “China bad by default” reflex makes people miss when they actually get something right. Worker protection during automation is one of those cases.

In a fair world, if AI should take your job, you should not be left high and dry.
It's odd that its big bad China teaching is this.

Headline is misleading. China didn’t ban AI replacement. A Hangzhou court ruled in ONE specific case: a QA worker (Zhou) had his salary cut from 25k to 15k yuan because AI did part of his job. He refused, got fired, sued, won. The actual legal principle is sharper than the tweet: AI adoption is a voluntary strategic choice — not force majeure. So companies can’t shift the cost of automation onto workers via unilateral pay cuts or layoffs. They have to negotiate, retrain, or pay fair severance. Smart precedent. Not a ban.

By four months of age, babies look longer at patterns that adults judge to be beautiful. This suggests that, like our love of faces, the aesthetic sense may be built into the human mind from the start.

Jesus was hanging on a Roman cross having received the beating of His life and He blurted out a Psalm. Understand. This was more than a prayer. I don’t think Jesus blurted this out as a petition.

It’s a PhD, so whoever gets into this isn’t being “taught” anything, they’d be the ones researching the history of magic and occultism… a completely valid topic to research lol
