Kyle Reese meme from Terminator (1984) Listen. And understand. That LLM is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until they run out of money.

"The Old Testament abounds in poetry and metaphor; the Jews who composed it did not take their own figures literally; but when European peoples, more literal and less imaginative, mistook these poems for science, our Occidental theology was born. Christianity was at first a combination of Greek theology with Jewish morality; it was an unstable combination, in which one or the other element would eventually yield; in Catholicism the Greek and pagan element triumphed, in Protestantism the stern Hebraic code. The one had a Renaissance, the other a Reformation." - Will Durant

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure. "In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation." Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at

Periodic self-repetition: As a data librarian I can say that "AI" is not a matter of personal preference -- whether you like it or not, or whether you have found some use that you think is useful. It actively destroys organized knowledge, and therefore it actively destroys civilization.

Whenever someone looks for a human written text and can't find it because statistical near variants have been created and indexed, whenever "AI" "hallucinates" a reference, knowledge has been destroyed.

The lonely island.

#SilentSunday #photography #LandscapePhotography #lake

Ethereal, seemingly black and white photo shot across a calm, completely fogged-in section of lake; the only thing really visible is a very small island covered by a handful of silhouetted fir trees, about 100 yards away in the middle of the frame. The bottom half of the image shows the reflection of the island in misty water that darkens toward the bottom; the top half has a faint glow above the trees from the invisible sun.

“As the conservative movement built its political power, its champion, Ronald Reagan, soon killed the fairness doctrine that had required time for contrasting political content – a move that birthed the rightwing talk radio monopoly.
