Thespesius saw it in his #NDE and #Plutarch reported it (I-II cent. AD): in the afterlife, the souls of all the greedy and stingy will be tortured in lakes of boiling gold, gelid lead and rough iron. How does this all relate to #metallurgy and #alchemy?

The Truth's superb surprise

This paper finds poetry is a universal single shot jailbreak for LLMs. Systems built to stop prosaic attacks fail when the request is phrased in verse.

- Pope = "perpetual and visible principle of unity" (Lum. Gent. 23)
- Liturgically, Easter is 1 day (CCC 1168)
- Heilsgeschichte's continuity is broken: with no Pope the day can't end

Scientists are celebrating an adorable discovery: a 32,000-year-old sabertooth cub. It's remarkably well-preserved, offering scientists their first true look at what these ancient animals looked like—so what have we learned from this discovery? 🔗 https://t.co/lgiybSYyzL
