@SethAbramson I used to think it was statistically likely that intelligent life exists *and* has traversed the stars. However, the last few years I've come to think that any species that could advance enough to develop interstellar travel will also develop AGI and create their own Singularity.
@techmudder@hashjenni You're going to let the President, Vice-President, Speaker of the House and other cabinet members attend an event at a hotel where the guests at that hotel haven't been checked? The Secret Service is *always* supposed to assess potential threats at venues well before such events.
It is simply unacceptable for this man to continue leading — and being a national face of — the Democratic Party. Morally, but also politically. If we want to maximize our chances of defeating MAGA, we need (good) Dem senators to step up and call for new leadership.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
Matthew 15:7–9
@newstart_2024 Plenty of people already think "God" is a conscious being with thoughts and feelings even though they have only one-sided conversations with "Him". People think objects hate them. People anthropomorphize pets and various animals. Of course they're going to treat AI as conscious.
What are the chances American Evangelical Christians realize that Trump is not one of them, has never been one of them, and doesn't give a fuck about them as long as they vote for him?
Probably low considering how fucking gullible they all are and the shite they already believe.
Hey @GOP. We believe that @RepSwalwell likely abused the women who have accused him and provided evidence in support of their allegations. So fuck that guy, we don't want him representing any of us. See how easy that is when you're not in a cult, you gutless pedophile protectors?
@Tsoukalos@DavidGTerrell1 When I go, I hope there are lots of people like you reminding anyone saying I'm "with God" or "in Heaven" or "up with the Angels" or whatever, that I would laugh at such ridiculous ideas. I admire you for not letting Nick's perspective get hijacked. He has returned to the cosmos.
