Some history, as this stuff is interesting to me. The two referenced saints predated formal canonization. They were approved in the 16th century. The Roman Catholic Church removed these two saints in the 20th century. There is some confusio

Does the last video demo give a totalitarian AI apocalypse feeling to anyone else? "Omni" -> everwhere/all "The final chapter will end with a choice. The choice between holding on to the past, or letting go. What will

It is hard to tell if this is a joke based on the username. There are people with this perspective though I assume. Thus I will respond to it. It's worth noting OP's proposed technology is impossibly far from existing in practice.

In my Catholic circle, there are broad views on different policies. There are both political affiliations and lack of affiliation. For example, the official Catholic position is pro-life and pro-migration/pro-immigrant/mercy towar

Two of the top AI companies flouted ethics with regard to training data. In OpenAI's case, the whistleblower probably got whacked for exposing it. Can anyone make a compelling argument that any of these AI companies have the public&#x2

As a solo-founder I have experienced this on a massive scale over nearly 15 years. It's really strange how happy people are with unethical behavior, yet on my end it just doesn't feel right to cut off peoples systems. After multip

As exciting as the last couple years have been in the AI space, I totally agree. There was an advertisement on Twitter a few years ago for Google Home. It was a video where a parent was putting their child to bed, and they said, "Ok Go

I strongly relate to this post. Having grown mailsac.com to above average side project revenue, the admin overhead isn't crazy, but it's exceptionally repetitive and boring. So much time is spent on fraud and normal "running
