Stop Promoting a New Civil War

You would bankrupt the nation, devastate business interests, interrupt international trade, starve tens of millions and leave millions on the verge of death, proving what? — Let me start with a simple question: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? CIVIL WAR? Okay. I’m good. I just needed to get that off my chest. Why is anyone advocating for civil war? There are so many reasons civil war is not right for the United States, but one of the most terrifying are the one hundred…

A Self-Limiting Achievement

Midjourney Follies | #39 of 100 — How does it help us to create machine intelligence, to promote its continual development while training that intelligence on the detritus of the human experience; to educate it on the tools of a stagnant past while retarding the ignition of the intellectual human efforts in our schools by using the…

Edward Blum’s New Crusade

Is nothing more than a modern form of economic terrorism — Edward Blum would have you believe there is nothing wrong with his recent crusade against affirmative action. He believes you cannot fight centuries of discrimination with more discrimination. On the strength of that statement alone, I might be willing to be onboard with the IDEAL being presented. But the reality…

Where the Sun Touches the Earth

A goddess seeks release from an eldritch prison relying upon a humble housecat as her savior. — A Tale of Cats versus Evil A haughty woman festooned in heavy brass jewelry, the tacky kind, loud, clanging and discordant, stands looking at a rhyming dragon who is gazing into a mystic pool with her. The dragon is an unextraordinary member of his species. His scales are dull, coated…

Only Workers Who Should Be Replaced by ChatGPT: CEOs

“Replacing workers with ChatGPT or other generative AI, is the equivalent of hiring a Magic 8 ball and wondering why your company died.” — “Chatbots cannot think like humans: They do not actually understand what they say. They can mimic human speech because the artificial intelligence that powers them has ingested a gargantuan amount of text, mostly scraped from the internet.” — Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/ai-chatbot-learning/

The Three Gates is Not Enough

Like “thoughts and prayers” rating the quality of the conversation instead of the need for action fails in every meaningful way. — “Prayer is an excuse to do nothing. Prayer is a symptom of mental illness and that’s all it will ever be.” — Random Post Circulating the Internet With all things, context matters — this post was likely made in response to the recent killing of six people, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie…

Facebook Moderation Doesn’t Exist

The Algorithm restricts my rights to free speech whenever I mention the Republican Party. — This particular quote is attributed to Candace Owens, presumably at PragerU. I refuse to go there and give them the clicks to make them think I care about how well they disguise their racism as modern talking points. This Evening I was restricted AGAIN on Facebook. My response to the above post, which resulted in sixty days of…

‘Infectious Optimism’ in the Days Ahead

Just before all hell breaks loose. — Before I begin my work day and pretend nothing outside my door matters to my psychological well-being, I am reminded of the current bizarre behavior across my planet, which I would not be aware of except for the use of the internet: South American nations have thrown up their hands…
