If only that were all..

In Trump's 'mind' blowing up stuff is a sign of manliness, strength and power. Plus, all the other despots test weapons so why not him?

I don’t live in an area where it is easy to go shopping for items to wear, other than clothes to wear on a farm or hunting, at least not within 50 miles, especially if you are an unusual size, which I definitely am re: shoes. Well, regular clothes, too. Further than that if I have a prayer of...

Like I wrote earlier: I’ve perhaps read too much sci fi and speculative fiction to see anything but devastation. That you can and do is a testament to your optimism and perhaps foresight. Perhaps in different hands, I could see AI as being a tool to improve our lives. But it’s not and I...

Bombs level playing fields. Everybody loses, even those too stupid to know it. So who is to be compensated? The people who aggregate the data? Analyze it? Who ARE the data ( or their efforts are the data)? People in the ‘in groups’ have been stealing from and exploiting those in the out groups...

I’m almost certain AI is color blind, as was my comment. People are people are people. Those who control AI ( for now) care only for green —or gold, perhaps God knows people have stolen not just lives but accomplishments and inventions and art and music and science and mathematics from all...

But tech people have never thought to teach AI that stealing someone else’s intellectual property is not merely attributing the stolen work to the appropriate party/parties but to actually obtaining permission prior to using it. Because such things never occur to those who have no interest in...

Sometimes, the improbable answers are the right ones. Even in medicine.

I'm not a fan. And that's not a surprise. The development of AI has depended a great deal upon the intellectual theft of human creators: artists, writers, even actors. I find that absolutely morally reprehensive and indefensible. Because, after 40+ years of being told that liberal arts are...

Beauty queens are often not exactly beautiful, especially if you take away the makeup, push up bras, correcting and hair extensions. Especially if you look inside at the actual person, who often were pushed and prodded into the whole beauty queen thing, have come to be extremely insecure and...

To be fair, yes: News organizations can and do report statements with the intent to further their own goals ( or that of reporters), and sometimes, do so in a deception. It’s actually happened to me: I was once ‘quoted’ in the local newspaper in a way that was deceptive—deliberately so, and...

It’s not like Loren would think such advice pertained to him. He’s above needing to read carefully, stop scolding people for making points that are either counter to what he is certain is true because it’s his opinion, or ever read or post links to substantiate his pov. If it differs from his...

Or: You could actually add clarity by explaining. I realize that you think you are very clear but you are not necessarily clear about what you mean--especially in relation to what ld asked you to explain or substantiate.

Oh fuck all the way off Loren. You have no memory of posts I’ve written. You can live in your own delusions but I’m not joining you.

The really ironic thing is that I’m extremely anti-Hamas. As far as I can tell, both sides are indefensibly in the wrong.

Why would Loren support any of his positions with anything like…facts.

My small town had 2000, estimated.

My town had one. Unfortunately we had made plans to be out of town during this weekend. We have regular protests near our home and I usually go to those. I do feel bad that I am missing this. He’ll, I marched for science in DC during the first administration

I think that Hana’s is vile. That is unrelated to Islam or Muslims. Just as some, usually white ‘Christians ‘ are Nazis and/or white supremacists, most white people are not Nazis or white supremacists. Nor are most Christian’s Nazis or white supremacists. In fact, most Christians would say...
