"Auto-GPT: The new powerful AI tool that gives you a sneak peek into the future!"

:idea: AI that takes control and has memory will soon create need for massive data storage
(plus advanced computers, networks, etc.)! This level of AI that connects to the internet,
the digital space wherein AI learns what it knows, suddenly can "contaminate" that space
with its own "intelligence". A type of contamination akin to intelligence incest :?:

Re: https://apnews.com/article/drag-law-unc ... ssee-lgbtq (not a link)
"judge rejects (U.S.) Tennessee’s anti-drag law as too broad, too vague"

"Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson ... said he was disappointed with the ruling
... a victory for those who support exposing children to sexual entertainment"

:idea: Apparently, law was poorly written (relative to the constitution),
but Johnson argues that "drag" is adult sexual entertainment,
therefore inappropriate for young children. ;)

Re: https://endtimeheadlines.org/2023/06/36 ... h-baggage/

"36 year-old woman marries virtual husband who is powered by artificial intelligence –
and says he ‘doesn’t judge or come with baggage’ "

:bana: The good thing about AI (computers, programs, networks, etc.)
is that he could have baggage if she desired more marriage contrast.
Two mini bags might be sufficiently symbolic. :roll:

"Dr Ray Kurzweil: 2022-2023 Updates"

"chaos and unpredictability can also be simulated in computers. Large language models do that
because you can’t always predict how it’s going to answer. A lot of these models you can actually
ask the same question multiple times and get different answers, so it depends on the mood
of the large language model at that time."

each slice could be a communion wafer for the Climate God
(daily communion proves commitment to climate goals). 8)

:idea: New insight about memory ...

Despite using a computer password daily for weeks,
there occurs a time when the password is forgotten
and must be refreshed in my human memory. :roll:

This suggests that repetition memory is different
than linked memory (association with other memory);
repetition alone permits the memory to fade. :o

Perhaps visual refreshment of password (the text)
helps support repetition memory. Also, passwords
are not usually displayed as they're typed. ;)

"(U.S. state) Washington judge orders female-only spa with compulsory nudity

:idea: Since people shave their heads for emotional support of shaved-head patients,
straight women could wear a faux penis (etc.) to support trans spa members. 8)
But it will still be controversial for the real penis show erection! :roll:

However, "compulsory nudity" suggests this spa provides
a more visual experience with less focus on exercise. ;)

the bacteria could have been on this man's skin

"Eric Andre says he lost 40 lbs for his show but would NOT do it again
because 'starving' made him grumpy" :roll:

:idea: Good advice for fat farm expectations! However, nutritionists say
that starvation is not characteristic of healthier (slower) weight loss.
And his "NOT do it again" predicts later weight gain because
a tolerable eating habit was not created during the loss. :(

(search for: "WEF Bans Natural Conception") (a proposal)

"According to the WEF, humanity will be better equipped to deal with the challenges of the future
if unborn children undergo gene editing to ensure they are free of diseases and disabilities,
including psychological traits which the elite disapprove of." :o

:idea: This would be a reasonable constraint on conception ...
but only when gene editing is perfected and accepted by the majority of humans :!:

Best guess: Gene editing will remain "experimental" for several decades. :roll:

Re: https://www.foxnews.com/world/chatgpt-d ... fear-death
"ChatGPT delivers sermon to packed German church"

"The chatbot's sermon reportedly focused on leaving the past behind, paying attention to the present,
not being afraid of death and maintaining faith in Jesus Christ ... Four different AI avatars took turns
leading the service and reportedly drew laughter at times for their monotonous, deadpan delivery.
There was no heart and no soul" :o

:idea: While better avatars should be available soon, the subtlety is that AI is presenting
what it learned from the internet - not direct inspiration as would be delivered by a human preacher.
AI prompts effectively guide AI on what to say about what it has learned. And what it has learned
derives from its synthesis of many different (even conflicting) contributions to the internet. :roll:

Apparently, human editing of what AI creates will probably be necessary for several decades!

All passengers get one seat and pay more for extra luggage. If costs are shared,
even the plus size travel cost should increase! :roll:

"Mark Cuban Claims Going Woke Is ‘Good Business’ In Aftermath Of Bud Light Disaster"

:idea: While Cuban may be correct, the subtlety is that "sexual identity" is not the same
as "sexual activity". The LGBTQ problem started, IMO, when children became
associated with typical adult sexual activity (not good business). :roll:

"Americans Want to Protect Father's Day from Gender Ideology"

of substitute terms for "father-like parent" and "mother-like parent".

With "father" and "mother" increasingly taboo, new terms need be very creative!
"Fop" and "Mop" are easy abbreviations, but already have unrelated meanings
... but could apply to some couples. :roll:
