Somehow more satanic than satan? If one’s goal is to rebel against Yahweh then forsaking one’s soul given to them by Yahweh would be fitting.

I’m pretty sure one of the hallmarks of mental wellbeing is acceptance and being at peace with whatever has been or will come to pass (that’s not to say being passive or an inactive blob). Also as a monk she’s not a wealthy person. I have doubts material things, fortune, or fame would tickle their fancy like the types you’re speaking of but I don’t know them personally so we’re both making an uneducated bet.

Now for myself personally, I would use the word magical more seriously to explain the transformation in me before and after I had acceptance and even gratitude towards my personal hardships. That said I appreciate your scrutiny, may it be there for all stories and not just self help as grifters will grift with anything they can such as religion, politics, culture, any stories that anyone is paying any attention to.

Depends on one’s definition of magical I would imagine. For instance yesterday someone told me their meal was awesome, but was it awesome by definition? I have doubts.

Thanks, I have many videos like that to share. You may enjoy Vimeo if you’ve never explored it.

Anyone here used alpine? Seems like it’s supposed to be for routers or maybe old hardware?

Maybe now I can get to know the real Lucy Liu

I remember one is more of a political / atheist group and the other is more so what it says on the tin but I always mix them up. Thanks for the clarification. I’m sure that’s a constant happening.

Oh goodness, what’s that reference? Futurama?

Thanks for the link, now this shit would make a good movie. I miss when SF was high on hippie vibes and psychedelics, not glue fumes and adderall.

I wouldn’t consider death cults necessarily satanic although it depends on one’s portrayal of Satan. I have more of a Zoroastrian or maybe David Icke space reptilian view of the Satan character aka the goal is to increase needless and avoidable suffering for all minds anywhere in existence as it’s like a fuel source or food. Then in contrast God or goodness is all things which decrease needless and avoidable suffering and bring minds into states of wellbeing. I think the desire to just end everything like the antenatalists and other such death or doom cults is more Shiva like or maybe Surtr.

I do tend to fall back on basic Buddhist / Taoist philosophy though in that anything done in desire necessitates its opposite. Yin begets Yang type deal. Like the Shiva or Surtr type character wants to destroy but just ends up creating a new beginning, yin becomes yang.

I want a Lucy Liu bot.

I think we’re in the awkward teen years of AI. From like 2015 to 2022 was like the baby years where everyone was amazed at that cool new toy. Then like 2022 to 2030 are the angsty teen years where it kinda works, kinda doesn’t, seems kinda pissed off at its parents. Then 2030 to 2050 will be the big AI adult years where it actually delivers and we start seeing society fundamentally change, personal robotics, automated society and the whole nine. Then 2050+ it may grow into something much more than we imagined for better or worse.

Personally I think they way over promised. AI development has been bonkers fast but it’s just not there yet. With a lack of regulation and halfway AI most people are pretty disgruntled. The fact that people are even making posts like this is insane. Like shit didn’t really start popping off until 2017, it’s been 9 years and we want strong AI already when in like 2015 most people thought we wouldn’t even be at this level of AI until like 2100.

Now I’m imagining a split in the satanic church, that is an AI satanic church and a non-AI satanic church. AI Satan sounds pretty hellish if you ask me…

I wonder if society will fracture into two groups, kinda like the Amish and the rest of us. There will now be people content with this level of technology and those who go on forward for better and worse. I can totally see it, entire towns where AI is banned.

I Imagine there will be yet another separation if there’s a choice to upload your consciousness a bit like the show pantheon.

Word to the wise, get a good lawyer when doing things.

Its good to see America’s actual leadership take charge /s

Impossible outright? No. Not possible currently? Most definitely.

Cool, not like there’s a mass extinction happening currently and possibly a full biosphere collapse. This is the second time an organism has caused a mass extinction but the first time it self proclaimed it was intelligent.

I would say the new social network addiction but yes, another dopamine trap.

Same game, new field. Social networks and smartphones were the more recent dopamine traps.

Yeah using the GPS band for comms is a thing. Or if you’re an adversary you can transmit comms on the same band but more powerful to block GPS signals which is exactly what one nation in particular has been doing.
