Memorial Day memories of those who serve but mostly sacrifice.

Religions, not spirituality, will be ai challenged.

An AI blessing by the Pope is questionable given the Church’s history of malfeasance…bribes, indulgences, wars, the Inquisition. If anything, irrationality is not a bedmate for a logical AI. Is the Singularity the Second Coming…the ‘rough beast slouching to Bethlehem to be born?”

Don't forget their accomodation of the Nazis.

Yes, Catholics killing other Catholics condoned and approved of by the Pope.

I'm visiting Poland in a few weeks. Aim to visit my first concentration camp: Auschwitz. My father's parent fled the pogroms in Ukraine and arrived in the USA in 1904.

Good time of the year to go. Safe travels, Ben.

I wish, someone would care about the poor and hungry. AI would certainly find a better life for them, but all the focus is on optimizing companies that mostly will be replaced within 5 years by superintelligence.

An omission no one should forget.

The things you do are great for the world. There’s an idea that might help a billion people. It’s roughly 25 words can I share a word document with you Dr.

And still we hear they naysayers telling us it’s all a scam and the bubble will pop any day now. At the same time angry devs rail against AI slop pontificating about the superiority of their artisanal code; you know the same high quality code responsible for the thousands of zero day vulnerabilities Mythos is finding.
