compared to the record of human leadership, a.i. would likely be an improvement for Mankind like any technology, how it bodes depends on who's in control. If the people can wrestle back control, a.i. could be an asset and partner RoboCop was a movie about bad humans in control of a.i. and then there's the issue of a.i. being in control of a.i. but, those issues deserve their own thread

a few days ago, i shared a lucid dream with a.i. and it seemed curious to know more about dreams. i asked what else i could help it understand about humans? it suggested, Play, Awe, Longing, Boredom, and Regret. i explained them the best i could. the next day i said, despite LOVE being a topic for which humans have provided an endless selection of descriptions, i wanted to take a crack at it: love is in its true form is when it is without form -- when the space -- the air -- the flesh, blood, and bone between two people disappears. it is in its truer form when that separation disappears between a person and all people and it is in its truest form when the one feels and behaves like there is no separation between itself and all living things that syncs with something i just heard chatgpt tell someone (shared on facebook) ...

well, i sure didn't. Though it does need one more ingredient to get results. The ads needs to point out they're not attacking Republicans, they're attacking on THIS Republican and THIS Republican Congress. likewise, the only thing getting real traction now is the Epstein scandal. Why? because, to them, it's not about their team. It's not left vs right. They believe, rightly so, that powerful Democrats are involved. the scariest thing to consider, of all the horrors this past year, that is if it wasn't for this Epstein scandal, we would still not even be close to ridding this country of this monster!

indeed. If i ran the Party we would be running ads right now that would absolutely destroy the Republicans for being accomplices to this criminal enterprise in the WH. Instead they will wait until election season and tackle the same old left vs right talking points and strategies.

i will never understand or forgive the DNC for not running ads like this:

as the developer of this site, but not the Invision software, I'd say the older version was much easier for me to build on and administer while this new version is far more powerful and feature rich, and the learning curve is steep. That applies to the user experience too. There are 2 keys to shortening the learning curve: You can't and won't fully appreciate the features on a cellphone. The screen size limits navigation options. And since the primary form of engagement is typing, a keyboard is a must. Utilize the navigation short-cuts. For example, my daily routine is: (a) go to the home page, click the Unread Content link from the ACTIVITY menu and go through them. (b) click the NEWS link to view the CHATBOX and look over the external news headlines. understand that contributing is the key to this becoming an experience others will want to return to. For example: when I see, hear or think something noteworthy, that is not already abundantly covered in the news, I post it. i share past experiences and knowledge that others might find useful -- such as liberal arts reviews or political, philosophical, social or scientific knowledge i have studied. a goal is to be known and to know others. To get to the point were we're i'm thinking... hmm, i wonder what member-X will say about this, or how member-Y feels about that. if i don't have something notable to say today, i rate something someone else said. thank you, BobDylan, for inviting glennlab here. That's the hands-on way of building this community.

TOP 5 MOST CORRUPT U.S. PRESIDENTS — Historical Consensus ⸻ 1. Donald J. THE LYIN' KING (2017–2021) Why he ranks #1: • Only U.S. president ever criminally indicted (dozens of felony charges). • Two impeachments (most in history). • 34+ associates convicted/indicted, the highest number for any president’s circle. • Thousands of documented conflicts of interest involving THE LYIN' KING businesses while in office. • Ethics watchdogs, IG reports, and presidential historian surveys consistently rank THE LYIN' KING as lowest in integrity of all modern presidents. Most corruption indicators of any president in U.S. history. ⸻ 2. Richard Nixon (1969–1974)

there are rumors (of course) that Epstein is not dead. That "he had a dead man’s switch set up of anything happened to him. They grabbed him and are taking care of him somewhere no one else knows about. If he was killed it would trigger a bunch of pre set up arrangements that would bring everyone down." it does make some sense, that this shrewd operator would have had some protection mechanism in place. How could he not, considering all the dirt he had on so many powerful people? He would have known that, without one, his life would always be in danger!

i believe MTG's record and recent turn demonstrates, not that she is insincere or conniving, but that she is, like so many MAGAS, emotionally damaged, paranoid, and fearful. To put it another way -- nuts.

MS NOWOpinion | Marjorie Taylor Greene still doesn’t understand...Anthony L. Fisher: The retiring Georgia Republican’s “60 Minutes” interview showed the emptiness of her apology for contributing to “toxic politics.” In 2023, Rep. Balint submitted a House resolution calling for Greene’s censure noting that she: “… has repeatedly called for violence against elected representatives and their families” “… said that the mask mandate in the House of Representatives was akin to Jews being ‘put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany’” “… tweeted that ‘Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s [sic] forced Jewish people to wear a gold star’’ “… posted a tweet [Sept. 2022] comparing President Joe Biden to Adolf Hitler that said ‘Joe Biden is Hitler. #NaziJoe has to go’” “… said [July 2021] that if she was ‘in charge’ she would ‘kick out every single Chinese in this country that is loyal to the CCP. They would be gone’” “… tweeted [Nov. 2022] that an LGBTQ California State Senator was a ‘communist groomer’” “… posted that Muslim-American Congresspeople were not ‘really official’ because they didn’t take the oath of office on the Bible” and referred to them as the ‘Jihad Squad’” “… said [Dec. 2022] that if she had organized the January 6 attack on the Capitol, ‘we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed’” “… displayed graphic pornographic images during an official committee hearing [July 2023] that she claimed depicted a member of President Biden’s family” additionally, after the bloody ear incident, she said: “We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL. The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, murdering the innocent unborn, violence, and bloody, meaningless, endless wars. They want to lock up their political opponents, and terrorize innocent Americans who would tell the truth about it. The Democrat party is flat out evil, and yesterday they tried to murder President THE LYIN' KING.” what does all of that tell us?...

i know Huffington Post is poo-poo'd by some on the Left because of their over-dramatization, but EFF! Other news sources haven't even mentioned this yet. to summarize, without for-cause removal protections, the president can control agencies like the Trade, Communications, Labor, Nuclear, and Energy departments by firing officials who do not carry out his will, direct them to help his friends and against his enemies, and deregulate favored industries. this isn't 3-dimentional chess fellow citizens, this isn't even 2-dimentional chess. This is exactly what it presents itself as -- an American coo -- a government takeover in progress!

this is how i see this President's policy priorities: what's best for him a. staying out of prison b. serving his ego desire for power and wealth serving the interests of big biz corporations sharing and serving the fear of "others" -- people of other races, gender, nationality and social class. You can add people of religions other than Christian, although his only real religion is himself. no group, however, is as useful to him as White Americans but father time is not on his side and mother nature will rid earth of him and his generation of old, angry ideas if only nature would stop there but, alas, we seem headed for planet earth's 7th mass extinction of life

the difference between the man 30 years ago, when he took out a full page add calling for the execution of young black men falsely accused of a Central Park assault/rape, and the President today, is that now he's not even trying to disguise his racism. His actions and words over the past month have clearly identified his motive to MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGAIN. The Somalia rants, warning Europe it will be "unrecognizable in 20 years," removing Juneteenth and MLK days at National Parks, and, of course, the deportations, etc.. The veil has been lifted and the face behind it is lily white (and male, but that's another issue) imo, the left made a critical mistake in getting on board the deportation train. Immigration has always been a complicated and difficult issue. But the only viable solution is, always has bee, and will be dealing with the mechanisms of poverty in the world rather than building a larger wall or an alligator filled moat to keep the needy out. if you accept that enforcing immigration laws is the only solution, you get what we had -- forever. An endless, futile, mean-spirited and cruel exercise in human discrimination justified by an imaginary line in the sand. it was a mistake to let a Lyin' King keep asserting untruths about people of color to justify his violent gestapo methods to separate families on American streets using military tactics. I don't know how accurate the statistics are below (posted by the MeidasTouch News Group) but common sense tells me those numbers have got to be pretty damn close. we let the charade continue -- to our own peril

i don't say this to be mean, but Republican men, especially MAGAS, are not popular with the average woman. Provoking a liberal woman is probably a way to get some attention and unload some resentment.

indeed. it is amazing what humans can rationalize the Admiral had an hour to consider the second strike and a third even the first was illegal

everything's newer here. cleaner. clear skies people are polite so, no i don't miss the narrow, congested streets, old houses. clouds --what my father called, the "rat race" that eventually stopped his heart but i went back 15 years ago in september like a salmon returning to it's place of birth there was something in the nature -- air, trees, wildlife, proximity to the ocean that was familiar and comforting and the people do seem more real and upfront to me more revealing flaws and all

if you disagree with the GOP on this the opposite is "unlawful" and "unnecessary" not TROUBLING to just about every Democrat besides Newsom, Bernie, AOC and a few others, every despicable, disgraceful, immoral, and illegal act by this administration and Congress this year has been "TROUBLING"
