Re: World Views
Is AI vulnerable to Internet Incest (II, pronounced 'Ai Ai') ?!
AI intelligence is the result of synthesizing billions of words generated by humans.
Now, with the help of humans, AI-generated text is accumulating on the internet!
And this text is not necessarily true intelligence! Therefore, further AI-collection
of internet text might become contaminated in a way akin to human incest.
Ai Yi Yi, Lucy!

"Testosterone levels ‘plummeting’ in young men due to porn consumption" (and social isolation)
Interesting expression, this "porn consumption"
In what way is porn consumed?
Would a New Porn Diet be a good thing or bad?
Would a Porn Farm be the way to change behavior?
Would a Porn-free Diet be porn-vegan or no-cost porn?
Re: https://www.everydayhealth.com/news/way ... tosterone/
"6 Ways You’re Ruining Your Testosterone"
This article doesn't mention porn but "sedentary lifestyle" seems the association.
However, porn consumption is not just a mental experience (so I've been told).
Maybe "internet porn" is just all the news 'n views about porn (or whatever).
AI might now help identify healthier porn (doesn't deplete testosterone,
but probably includes a DVD for an exercise bike workout).
However, "exercise bike" can be "porn" to a couch potato.
Now I'm inspired to check for ice cream sales (diet porn).

"Aliens have been on Earth for a long time and are still here"
The greater mystery is how/why space aliens and some humans created such conspiracy
that existence of the aliens "for a long time" has remained more secret than fact
Curiously, search for intelligence in the universe (SETI) continues
despite their claimed existence on the planet "for a long time". Some say
AI and modern technology can now simulate believable alien arrival.

"Is Twitter founder Jack Dorsey to blame for out-of-control tipflation?"
Obviously, tipping has been redefined in recent years to encompass a broader association
of service provided for customers. With this broader association, society is being prepared,
IMO, to accept that the who/what providing service - even indirectly - inherently deserves a tip.
The who/what could soon be robotic! - even vending machine (provides product and service).
Somehow, "tip" now has the aroma of woke Cost-Relative-Addon-Price.

"Did Google Create Sentient AI?" (3 hr interview)
Re: https://grammarist.com/usage/sentience-vs-sapience/
"Sentience means the ability to feel things, the ability to perceive things.
Any living thing that has some degree of consciousness is sentient, including insects,
lizards, dogs, dolphins and human beings. The word sentience is derived from
the Latin word sentientem, which means feeling."
"Sapience means the ability to think, the capacity for intelligence ..."
"Living things" is a good clue about AI sentience (which cannot exist):
Living things are not dependent on computers/networks and electricity for their existence.
Unlike AI, living things do not "reincarnate" once dead (AI returns to life with electricity).
Interestingly, despite AI not being sentient, a symbiotic relationship is beginning
(who now would give up their smartphone?). Humans have long given personality
to their favorite objects (e.g., from child's blankee to adult's car and boat).
If it looks like intelligence, speaks like intelligence,
and is all-knowing intelligence, it's Artificial Intelligence!
... since humans sometimes quack like a duck."

Such emotionalism on both sides of this conflict! However, a "Pride collection" in stores is very recent merchandising
How did parents and their young children shop in preceding decades? Apparently, many gender identities have long existed.
Best guess: Recent Pride protests and discussion have changed societal expectations.
Re: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke
"Woke - aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues"
Different definitions, some positive - some negative. Apparently,
negative definitions relate to what occurs with "active attentiveness".
For example, "Pride" is positive, Pride's association with "drag" is not
... according to those critical of blatant sexual innuendo.

"When you get to the gates of heaven, down a dark alley under the 10 Freeway and past a bacon-wrapped hot dog cart,
there is no judgment. There is just a man who wants to see your ID and look in your purse."
1st guess: That man is not Saint Peter.
2nd guess: This is not vegetarian heaven.
3rd guess: Purse does not indicate gender.

"Employees of the City of Dallas, Texas, must use people's preferred pronouns
or risk termination, according to recently publicized documents."
Proposed solution: When use of preferred pronoun can be mandated, that pronoun is a legal pronoun
and should be registered with a government agency before it can be mandated (for example, addendum
to a birth certificate). The preferred pronoun controversy should end when such law is passed ...
or such law fails to pass.

"The Q in LGBTQ stands for queer in most settings, but it can also mean questioning."
A step forward in terminology, this 'questioning' instead of 'queer', but questioning what
How/why biological anatomy still works when the mind prefers different anatomy?
Why biological anatomy, complementary to different anatomy, prefers not the complement?
Maybe the real problem is that society mandates labels!
... or people don't know what they are without a label!
