@StevenBartlett The Universe is Distinction learning to know itself - quantum measurement, information theory, and evolution all point to the same self-referential process.

“We now find ourselves in a world where we understand how almost everything works, but we know the meaning of nothing.”

That's not a religious argument. That's a scientific one.

And this isn’t coming from someone who abandoned logic to find faith…

Today’s guest is John Lennox, a mathematician who has spent 70 years interrogating faith with logic, science, philosophy, and evidence and somehow came out the other side more convinced.,

I sat down with John as I wanted a conversation not only around religion, but how AI is making every one of us ask religious-sized questions.

We discussed things like:

- Why artificial intelligence is still artificial
- The difference between simulating intelligence and possessing consciousness
- Human dignity in the age of AI and why it matters more, not less
- Loneliness and why it makes us vulnerable to fake connection
- The peace that most of us are actually searching for

I didn’t feel like I was being pushed towards an answer.

Instead I was being invited to think more honestly about the questions.

You do not have to share his faith to learn from the way he thinks.

For anyone asking what makes us human in a world of machines, this is a conversation I would really recommend.

You weren't by chance "mistakingly" and "misremembering" and changing his words to insight violence were you? Because "pure, cold rage" is the exact opposite of calling for violence - which your "white cold rage" does!

Words are powerful and in this context matter! To say it didn't change the context is actually showing you truly are both a muppet and a puppet.

All Lives Matter.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.

Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why.

During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.

They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.

This needs to stop.

In April, a website that has been sued, blocked, deplatformed, and chased across thirty-seven domains over fifteen years quietly launched its own AI.

Sci-Hub is the largest unauthorized library of scientific papers in human history. Ninety-five million academic papers. Tens of millions of books. Built and maintained by a single Kazakhstani neuroscientist named Alexandra Elbakyan since 2011, funded by donations, hosted on whatever country's registrar will tolerate it that year, mirrored across torrents and IPFS and Telegram bots.

Elsevier sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. The American Chemical Society sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. India sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. Swedish registrar Njalla cut the .se domain in January. Sci-Hub stayed up at .al, .ru, .ee, .box, and a half-dozen .onion addresses the registrars cannot reach.

Now the library has built its own intelligence.

Sci-Bot launched in alpha in April. You ask it a research question. It answers, and it cites real papers from inside the corpus, with links that actually open the actual papers.

The bot does not hallucinate citations. It cannot, because it only draws from papers it actually holds. The same property that the venture-funded labs have spent four years and forty billion dollars trying to engineer back into their products is a free side effect of training the model on a library that contains the books.

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Meta have all been sued in the past eighteen months for training their models on the same shadow libraries that Sci-Hub assembled. Meanwhile the corpus those scripts were pointed at, the corpus those models were trained on, the corpus the entire generative AI industry is built on, sat right there the whole time, free, with a search box on top.

The pirates beat them to it.

Sci-Bot was built on a corpus that was already free, by a team that asked no permission, charging no one, with the explicit position that the right to read scientific research is older than the cartel that decided to charge for it.

The same arithmetic the medieval guilds used to keep the printing trade in approved hands. The same arithmetic Pope Paul IV used in 1559 to publish the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The same arithmetic the Stationers' Company used in seventeenth-century London.

Knowledge has always had a fence around it. The fence has always been guarded by men who did not write the books.

The library answers. We never asked permission. We never had to.

🇪🇺 The EU Plans to Crack Down on VPNs:

"The new EU age ID verification system will not be 'bypassed' via VPN access."

They couldn’t stop illegal migration, but suddenly becomes North Korea when it comes to controlling what Europeans read online...
