To put into perspective how stupid you're being right now, even a charitable interpretation of a conversation with an LLM would disprove the presence of any sufficient understanding of language. They're token predictors (or hallucinators), meaning they contain information related to snippets of language and their responses are completions based on training data.

A consequence of this is that they don't parse text based on the underlying sentence structure, so what actually approximates its meaning is how close different word snippets are to each other.

6/7 of the verses in question are in the old testament
makes you wonder why christians even keep that book. also 1 corinithians 7:36 in context just says you should hurry up and get married to the virgin you're engaged to if you want to have sex. it says nothing about the virgin being a child. naturally one might assume that is the case since people got married very young back when the new testament was written. but it's not explicit

> religious people are outbreeding the non-religious
>This means that global I.Q. will fall, in tandem with higher religiosity
this is assuming religiosity and intelligence are both nature (genetic) and not nurture (societal). but two very smart people can have a child with severe mental deficiencies, and two very dumb people can have a smart child. religious people have kids who leave the faith, and atheists can have children who become religious.

Long-shot push for AI 'kill switch' bill fails in the Senate
The bill failed after Sen. John Kennedy, R-Louisiana, offered the legislation on Sept. 16 via unanimous consent, meaning all 100 senators needed to agree to the measure. Kennedy said his bill wouldn’t put the federal government in charge of any kill switches, but would require developers to create their own mechanisms, which he likened to an "emergency shutoff."

Communist Party of Greece (KKE) strongly condemns release of Golden Dawn neo-Nazi Kasidiaris
The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has strongly condemned the release from prison of Ilias Kasidiaris, a former leading member of the Nazi criminal organization Golden Dawn, describing the decision as a “provocation” against the organization’s victims, their families and the working people who fought for its conviction. Kasidiaris’ release follows that of almost the entire former leadership of Golden Dawn, which was convicted in 2020 of operating as a criminal organization. In its statement, the KKE also denounced what it called the “crocodile tears” of Greece’s establishment parties. It held both the current conservative New Democracy government and the previous SYRIZA government responsible for the lengthy judicial proceedings, noting that the case took 11 years to reach its present stage and has still not been concluded irrevocably. According to the KKE, this situation could be exploited by Kasidiaris in an attempt to stand in future elections.

Deregulation, Not Data Centers, Broke the Grid
The public attribution of blame for rising electricity costs is half right. Data centers are indeed driving the first sustained surge in American electricity demand in more than a generation. But the historical record shows that electricity demand — what the industry calls “load” — has grown this quickly before without pushing prices up. What is different this time is not the load itself but the fact that it is landing on deregulated electricity markets that were never built to absorb growth. Today, about a third of US retail electricity sales are in deregulated markets; the rest are served by traditional regulated utilities. That institutional variation — the same load growth running through two different market structures at the same time — is why economists can compare the bills.

He Was Banned From Police Work In California But Hired In Honolulu
The case illustrates the blind spots that persist in vetting law enforcement applicants in Hawaiʻi. Even during what Denton described as a “very thorough background check,” the office’s investigators did not have access to his personnel records and relied instead on references from three former supervisors including two from the San Francisco department. All of those were outstanding, she said.

The Death of David Cobb and the Green Party
There is no denying that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have accomplished in one decade that which Greens have not in the thirty years since Ralph Nader ran his first limited test campaign for president on the Green ticket in 1996. First, in the immediate sense, Cobb’s anti-confrontational stance made it possible for the Democrats to campaign using a right-wing argument, that Kerry would be a more competent Commander-in-Chief in Iraq as opposed to pursuing immediate withdrawal. If Kerry had a viable opposition from the Left vocalizing immediate withdrawal of military forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, it could have easily reshaped the national dialogue and ended those two abysmal quagmires more than ten years earlier. Kerry’s preposterous hawkishness on Iraq made him the perfect target for Karl Rove and the Swift-boat Veterans controversy where fellow Vietnam GIs publicly accused him of cowardice. In this sense, Kerry’s campaign pulled the entire party rightward, something that became increasingly evident during the first term of the Obama administration.

Russian Elites Are Fighting for Unchecked Power
Ignoring a problem is rarely enough to make it go away. Take civilizationism, an approach based on shared culture taken to the level of civilizational identity. Also called civilizationalism, the idea has been around for centuries and has quietly inspired many conflicts. Overshadowed briefly by Cold War ideological conflict, it resurfaced in the 1990s when political scientist Samuel Huntington famously proposed a coming “clash of civilizations,” in contrast to his student Francis Fukuyama’s suggestion of the “end of history.” Huntington’s thesis was heavily criticized in mainstream academia, partly due to his Orientalism and racialized stereotyping. Still, it had its political impact, even beyond Huntington’s own homeland. After Russia’s conservative turn in 2012, President Vladimir Putin started to call his country a “civilization state,” and the civilizational framing later became central to Putin’s speeches. Similar civilization talk has since spread everywhere from Narendra Modi’s India to Donald Trump’s AmeriPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

"Americans are in a position to kill any Italian politician; they are in a position to kill quite easily the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. And why? Because the CIA has a capillary control of Italian territory, because the CIA has been among us for decades. If you look at what happened in Venezuela, the CIA managed to conduct that operation—Americans managed to conduct that operation without having any CIA bases in Venezuela. The CIA in Italia knows every single square centimeter of Palazzo Chigi, of Montecitorio, of Palazzo Madama; it knows everything about the lives of our politicians and our ministers. On any Italian minister, the CIA has a dossier that it can release at any moment.
In Italy, American bases ensure that American soldiers have capillary control over Italian territory, because we not only have at least five American bases on our territory and various nuclear warheads, but we also have 120 installations—120 installations on Italian territory that American soldiers have access to. We call them NATO installations; they are radars, shooting ranges, barracks, warehouses. The United States in Italy—look at this scandal that has just come out, Rutte said: '500 aircraft took off from Italy for the war in Iran.' Giorgia Meloni said: 'They are not 500, they are 200,' which is a staggering number in a 40-day war, meaning aircraft took off from Italian airports every single day involved in the war in Iran.
At Camp Darby, near Pisa, the United States has the largest weapons and ammunition warehouse in the world outside of national borders, and weapons from Camp Darby can leave in only two ways: either they leave through the port of Livorno—which is often blocked by dock workers—or they leave through the military airport of Pisa.
And the American bases in Italy—think of the phrase that Giorgia Meloni keeps repeating, she says: 'American bases are in Italy to defend Italians.' It is not true. American bases are in Italy for America's wars. American bases in Italy serve to increase the power projection of the United States, and power projection is the ability of a State to wage war far from its own borders." Prof. Alessandro Orsini

Venezia, aggressione fascista nel cuore della città:
https://www.osservatoriorepressione.info/venezia-aggressione-fascista-nel-cuore-della-citta/

Un gruppo dell’estrema destra olandese aggredisce giovani veneziani con spray al peperoncino e pugni. Sei finiscono al pronto soccorso. Il Morion denuncia: non una semplice rissa, ma un’aggressione fascista dentro una città trasformata in palcoscenico della propaganda reazionaria.

Prima lo spray al peperoncino, poi le botte. Sei giovani veneziani finiscono al pronto soccorso, uno con un trauma cranico e una ferita all’arcata sopraccigliare. È accaduto sabato 12 settembre nel centro di Venezia, in zona San Bartolomeo, dove un gruppo di giovani ha incontrato una comitiva di una decina di olandesi riconducibile alla galassia dell’estrema destra internazionale. Tra gli aggrediti c’è Giovanni Fassioli, consigliere di Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra nella Municipalità Venezia-Murano-Burano.

A denunciare immediatamente quanto accaduto è stato il Laboratorio Occupato Morion, in un comunicato ripreso da Global Project, che definisce senza ambiguità l’episodio un’«aggressione fascista» contro un gruppo di giovani veneziani. Non una generica rissa tra ragazzi, dunque, ma un episodio che, secondo la ricostruzione del centro sociale, deve essere letto dentro un contesto politico preciso: quello di gruppi e influencer dell’estrema destra europea che utilizzano le città come scenografia per provocazioni, propaganda social e costruzione di consenso.

La ricostruzione pubblicata nelle ore successive conferma alcuni elementi essenziali. Il gruppo straniero sarebbe stato composto da una decina di olandesi e avrebbe avuto come figura centrale l’influencer di estrema destra conosciuto come “Jolly Time”, seguito sui social da oltre centomila persone. I giovani veneziani lo avrebbero riconosciuto mentre realizzava contenuti destinati ai propri canali e avrebbero contestato le posizioni espresse dal gruppo. Da lì la situazione sarebbe precipitata: prima sarebbe stato utilizzato spray al peperoncino, poi sarebbe partita l’aggressione fisica. Sei persone hanno dovuto ricorrere alle cure del pronto soccorso.

È un particolare che rende difficile derubricare quanto accaduto alla solita categoria rassicurante degli “opposti estremismi” o della “rissa politica”. EppuPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
