And finally, Satan gets a new look. Certainly no red-skinned Satans, something which has offended Native Americans for centuries. But get ready for black Satans, Asian Satans, Hispanic Satans, and even Middle Eastern Satans. It is all part of a program to scare children.

"Simulation Theory" by definition means that we live in a created universe and atheists really, really dislike this point.

Yes. Allegedly, Marc Alaimo was so in-character that he started getting into "actually Dukat did nothing wrong" arguments with the showrunners, and it caused Ira Steven Behr to have some sort of minor mental breakdown. Assassination of the character followed.

Plausible. And it's worse, because others will tell the human who disagrees with the computer model, "How can you dare disagree with superintelligence?"
A British psychologist wrote a paper in 1983 that predicted every single problem we’re having with AI in 2026. It's called “Ironies of Automation” More advanced and reliable an automated system gets, the more crucial the human operator becomes. When engineers build an autonomous system, they automate the predictable tasks. What do they leave for the human? Only the most complex, chaotic, and dangerous edge cases that the engineers themselves couldn't figure out how to code. We are rapidly turning developers, writers, and operators into "AI supervisors." But cognitive skills deteriorate when they aren't actively used. If an AI agent or Copilot does 99% of the work, the human loses their deep mental model of the codebase or the system. When the AI inevitably hallucinates or fails, it hands control back to the human. But the human is now totally out of practice, right at the exact moment they have to step in and solve a catastrophic edge case. The Monitoring Illusion We expect humans to just "supervise" AI output. But humans are biologically terrible at maintaining vigilance while waiting for rare errors. Worse, if an AI is deployed because it processes data faster and handles more variables than a human, it is physically impossible for the human to check the AI's logic in real time. You cannot supervise a black box that thinks faster than you. We aren't removing human error with AI. We are just delaying it to the absolute worst possible moment. As we shift heavily into vibe coding and agentic workflows, the warning from 1983 is urgent. If you just mindlessly supervise the AI and stop practicing the core skill yourself, you won't be able to step in when the machine breaks.

Food advertisement is actually one of the few cases where I believe AI should never be used. When I was in NYC, nearly 75% of food advertisements were AI Generated, which I found actually shut off my appetite and repelled me from the trucks. I found myself seeking out the trucks with real food photos, even decade-old washed out ones, because the alternative made me slightly ill. I thought, surely this will reflect in their earnings; the trucks will realize that these images are the visual form of ozempic, and they'll go back to real photos, or seek out more aesthetic AI-generated food imagery, which I believe can be done with the right prompt/model. Then I had the horrifying realization that 95% of people probably cannot discern between an awful ChatGPT food image and one that is more aesthetic - if it resembles "burrito" or "sandwich," that is all that is necessary to activate the hunger response, regardless of the geometric, unholy texture. If true, it will confirm the theory that the vast majority of people are barely sentient.

AI is exclusively getting adopted by both ends of the bell curve - only the high IQ and low IQ are finding ways to take advantage of it. See: The proliferation of AI Food images displayed all over third world food trucks.

Postronni twierdzą, że łączy je podwójne nazwisko. Prawda jest jednak pod spodem - w transkrypcji używa się, do rozdzielenia obu nazwisk minusa, który, dla zmyłki i szydery nazywa się MYŚLnikiem. Oczywiście - stoi to na bakier z logiką i rzeczywistością a prawdziwe zastosowanie minusa wynika z oznaczenia sumarycznego, skumulowanego z obu nazwisk IQ danej kobiety.

Damn, that's good enough for a RT
"Disturbed by lack of faith he force chokes and decapitates limbs." "Tempts and thunders from his throne." "Gets paid for crimes by/with princesses." "Man's best friend." "Agrammatical swamp-dweller." "Rural womper rat terror." Seems like a test of creative description?

Sin X nadie en Europa se habría enterado de lo sucedido en Polonia está noche. El jefe del gobierno Donald Tusk perpetró un intento de golpe de Estado aprovechando el viaje del jefe del estado Karol Nawrocky al extranjero. Asaltó el Tribunal Constitucional con la policía y pretendió destituir a presidente y vicepresidente del Constitucional con una juez leal sin competencias. Pero no contaba con el presidente que enterado ordenó al avion dar la vuelta cuando sobrevolaba España. Volvió a Varsovia, entró por la fuerza por delante de sus escoltas en el edficio del TC pese al cerco de policias de Tusk y convocó a todas las máximasx instituciones de Supremo y Constitucional para restablecer el orden Constitucional. Aunque la crisis continúa, parece claro que el gobierno de Tusk, el títere de Von der Leyen que jamás habría perpetrado este asalto sin permiso de Bruselas, tiene los días contados. Pero recuerden, los medios publicos y privados de toda Europa han sido cómplices del golpe de Estado silenciando toda la operación. Solo las redes sociales han alertado a polacos y europeos. Por eso quieren intervenirlas.
