or they can take those datacenters and shove them straight up their...

And my account has been banned.

No, it wonâ(TM)t. It has been a waste of time for decades.

Scientists invent more and more dimensions , hallucinating harder than a 2022 LLM.

In the end it did nothing.

Seriously? They just discovered that smoking causes lung cancer? Did they tell an AI that or something?

Why is this even an article?

Teachers can't teach real first principle thinking, only rote learning and memorization. 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, etc. Our education system was built in the 1950's to produce factory workers. It was already obsolete, now it's really showing how useless it is.

Teachers as they are today obsolete. Let them say whatever they want it is sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I am really not certain what we do with people who are incapable of first principles thinking. They are going to be a huge burden on society.

I'm about 10000 words into the encyclical, and there is a LOT more in it than "it's about AI". The first section was on war and nuclear proliferation, and a call for dialog. Then we get to the importance of vocation and the dignity of work. I haven't even gotten to AI yet.

Airbus has a flight laws system. That flight laws system which would have told the pilot they were in a stall failed because of ice accumulation during a thunderstorm.

The pilot didn't know they were in the stall because the otherwise highly redundant system which should have warned him didn't work. Given what he could see, the aircraft was losing altitude, so he firewalled the throttles and pointed the nose up. If you don't know your wings aren't generating lift anymore, this isn't an unreasonable reaction.

The captain re-entered the cockpit seconds before they hit the water and figured it out, but it was too late.

Mythos was hype. There are exploit finding/code analysis AI's out there that are not.

I'm just waiting for someone to release one to Hugging Face with the training corpus, weights, model structure, everything fully open source so I can watch the world burn.

In America... we just use a gun. No more bear. Also, you get a free rug. It's what we call a win-win.

Generally though, don't shoot black bears, they're almost never a problem, and they're kind of cool. Just back away if they're aggressive, you're near their cubs. If the bear is Chinese, please capture it humanely, and return Xi Jinping to the Beijing Zoo. I think there is a reward.

If the bear is brown, or worse white, move the selector from BANG to BANG BANG BANG and mag dump it. Brown bears are incredibly aggressive. Polar bears are endangered, but if you see one it's because it's hunting you. It is not going to stop hunting you. Ever. Fly home? Polar bear. Flee to the tropics? Polar bear. Launch on Starship to Elon's secret moon base? Polar bear. They have a certain set of skills, they will find you, and they will kill you.

from my cold dead hands.

I want 12+ hours of smoke on that brisket, and I don't care if it's regular or unleaded.

After all, we're all going to die at some point, but life without brisket... isn't worth living.

The calendar transition is necessary to understand to put Galileo's bullshit into a proper historical context.

A fake version of history surrounding "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" is the basis for the anime "Orb".

Catholic priests, monks, or nuns also invented or discovered genetics, the primordial atom (Which was written off as an effort to invent creation/intelligent design as "the Big Bang"), the pendulum clock, the electric motor, the electric battery, and for some reason the bulletproof vest, among dozens of other inventions that make life possible.

Ok fine, while the Church was at it, we cured Malaria saving millions of lives, we bred a bee that is resistant to colony collapse disorder (CCD), we invented champagne (the real Dom Perignon was a monk), the calendar, the clock, the steam powered automobile (which was the first automobile, a vehicle that could move under it's own power), the internal combustion engine, broadcast radio that could carry human voice (Marconi's could only do morse code), and the megaphone which ideally should be used to shout at stupid people who claim Galileo invented heliocentrism.

Galileo didn't discover heliocentrism.

1517 Martin Luther publishes the Ninety-Five Theses. The Protestant Reformation begins decades before Galileo’s conflict and reshapes the religious and political environment of Europe.

1543 Nicolaus Copernicus, a canon lawyer and church administrator, publishes De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres).
This work introduces the mathematical heliocentric model. The term “Copernican system” comes from this publication.
Copernicus dies the same year.

1570s Church scholars recognize that the Julian calendar has drifted relative to the equinox. Because Easter depends on the lunar cycle relative to the equinox, the error creates theological and practical problems.

1578–1580 Pope Gregory XIII commissions astronomical work to correct the calendar and builds the Vatican observatory tower, often called the Gregorian Tower or Tower of the Winds, to support observations. The tower still exists today.

1582 The Gregorian calendar is promulgated after roughly a decade of astronomical and mathematical work led largely by Jesuit scholars such as Christopher Clavius.
This reform demonstrates that the Catholic Church was actively funding and conducting astronomical research decades before Galileo.

1609–1610 Galileo uses the telescope for astronomical observation and publishes Sidereus Nuncius.
He observes the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, discoveries that undermine the traditional Ptolemaic geocentric system but do not uniquely prove heliocentrism over competing models such as Tycho Brahe’s system.

1616 The Roman Inquisition rules that heliocentrism may not be taught as physical truth.
Copernicus’s book is not banned outright but is suspended until minor corrections are made.
Galileo is instructed not to defend heliocentrism as fact.

1623 Cardinal Maffeo Barberini, who had previously been sympathetic to Galileo, becomes Pope Urban VIII. Galileo initially believes he has papal support.

1632 Galileo publishes Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems).
The book is written as a Socratic dialogue comparing geocentrism and heliocentrism and clearly favors the Copernican position.
The work cites Copernicus directly and does not claim to invent heliocentrism.
                Arguments associated with the Pope appear in the mouth of the character Simplicio, which is perceived in Rome as insulting. (calling the pope "simple" or stupid)
                Galileo claims proof based on his theory of tides, which is incorrect.
                He rejects Kepler’s already published elliptical orbits and insists on circular orbits.

At this time, heliocentrism was still debated scientifically. Many astronomers preferred the Tychonic system because stellar parallax had not yet been observed.

1633 Galileo is tried by the Roman Inquisition and found “vehemently suspected of heresy.”
He is required to recant and is sentenced to house arrest for the remainder of his life.

Isn't exposing young influenceable minds to violent militarism like this "Army" inappropriate? :)

Wait until you find out what the coca in coca cola was.

Just think 100 years ago there were kids running to the local soda fountain to get their hit of Colombian Nose Powder and no one cared. This is why most soda fountains were in drug stores. They were dispensing cocaine.

85 years ago your grandparents (or now great grandparents) were running around Europe killing NAZIs and blasted out of their minds on Pervitin... YES IT IS CRYSTAL METHAMPHETAMINE! How did you guess?

Got a cold? Great! I have just the decongestant for you! It's orally administered heroin! Made by Eli Lilly Co. They even had coupons during cold and flu season to get your heroin at a discount!

Why is Conservatism bad? Or Communism? Or Fascism? Or whatever MAGA is this week?

I don't want to hear about any company's latest enlightened hypocrisy on politics. If you make shoes, STFU and make shoes. If you make coffee, STFU and make coffee. If you make guns, STFU and make guns. If you are stupid enough to mistake your corporation for your customer's moral compass you shouldn't be running a corporation, and you are probably losing money for your shareholders.

As for Starbucks, the problem is they aren't liberal. They support all the things! until they have to actually pay their employees a competitive wage, or actually be socially responsible. Running advertisements on waste reduction, fair trade, and global warming to tell you how important they think it is is WAAAAY cheaper than actually doing it. If a company is telling you they are doing ANYTHING other than maximizing profits for their shareholders (which is what they are supposed to be doing), check your wallet because they're probably trying to rob you.
