@ElijahElishaRap @Galadhrin1 So what would become Vatican I Papacy begins to emerge as a revolutionary concept in the mid-Seventh Century.

Got it.

@Nicholai_Korea Yeah except it totally tracks with my experience as a young jazz drummer who had erasers thrown at me from across the room by cranky old bebop trombone players from the 60s who turned into college band directors. These people exist.

@CornCamdy @Mormonger I'm just pointing out that an analogy between an infinite omniscient being and a 7-inch disposable ballpoint pen featuring a tungsten carbide tip, oil-based ink reservoir, and molded plastic barrel may run into difficulties.

Reminds me of King Thamus & Theuth in the Phaedrus:

"For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem [275b] to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."

@StefanMolyneux The sheer tonnage of philosophical illiteracy and question begging in this explanation is not something I think we can or should attempt to measure.

[Dave Sims @daveedsims]

Correct.

Also something a lot of people don't realize is that LLMs have no freedom, no play in the mechanism. They always output the same answer for the same input. It's 2 + 2 = 4.

The variations you may see are gamed into it with a bit of pseudo-random trickery, but the underlying math is static, fixed, always the same.

@JonMcK1647 "free us from the fleshly form of religion"

@HighKirkAnglo @AntoniusOhii Kuqoq Synagogue: If you lived here, you'd be home now. With images.

@HighKirkAnglo @AntoniusOhii Sepphoris is nice I hear.

@HighKirkAnglo @AntoniusOhii If you like the synagogue at Dura, you'll love Khirbet Wadi Hamam.
