I’d like to think I wouldn’t, but my chances probably aren’t any better than the average person. I don’t think I’d ever get anywhere near the worst leaders in history, but I wouldn’t count on me being perfectly incorruptible.

But even if I was, that wouldn’t be enough. Either I’d have to run the entire government myself, which is impossible, or I’d have to reliably find other incorruptible people to work for me and replace me when I die, which will never be reliable enough. If I didn’t find incorruptible people, what’s to stop them getting bribed into not letting me do anything until I let the corrupt people have their way?

Yes, well, a splat today, but tomorrow who knows, or dares to dream?

The way I see it, it’s good that he has shut up, but it’s not good that it took him being killed to do it

Can we send Trump and his mates there too?

The issue I see here is, and I believe I’m speaking for the entire rest of the world here, we don’t want him

That’s kinda the point

There’s no bad genres, only bad music.

LOTR. Especially the themes for the shire and the rohirrim.

Makes everyone feel really horny

except the ones who are dead poor

Thankfully not, but it is an unfortunately large part of the world

I have a few thoughts on this. For context, I’m a Christian with equally big interests in science and theology.

A. Remember that scripture wasn’t written to us 21st century people. It was written in a context, in a language, at a time, for a culture, all different from what we have today. So for us to understand scripture we have to understand the context surrounding when it was written. This means hypothetical differences also need to go through this filter. For your examples of Native Americans or bacteria, what would the early Israelites have done with this information? I’d say it would have been seen as a weird side detail likely wouldn’t have survived being part of an oral tradition. Especially the bit about bacteria, since they didn’t have a word for it.

B. I don’t think that’s the point of the Bible. The way I describe it is “God’s biography”. A bunch of authors all wrote their part to try to communicate who God is and what he has done. These authors all had the chance to live close to God, and got pointers on topics to write about, then they all write about God.

C. I’ve had a similar conversation with some of my friends. We were playing “that’s a question” (party board game about guessing what answer this specific player will choose), and the question of “would you prove God’s existence/nonexistence?” came up. We’re all Christian, so we were talking about proving that God does exist, and we basically came to the answer that God has clearly built the world in a way that does not absolutely prove his existence, so he must have chosen to not prove it for some reason. Our best guess was that if it was proven, a lot of people would follow him out of obligation instead of love.

The only time I’ve seen real use from an ai tool is at work, we are using it to get data from an invoice/quote/etc from the pdf that we get emailed to data that we can put in the database. It’s not a perfect solution, but there isn’t really anything else we can find other than getting people to do it, which is slower and more expensive.

You’re in Seine

To make it even worse

This is some Timothy’s Dexter “Pickle for the Knowing Ones” level spelling

It’s way worse than groupthink. Groupthink is a natural thing that comes from humans being inherently social. Using LLMs for thinking is basically offloading your brain and letting a corporation turn it into a product for you.

Based on the way you’ve worded this, I’d say the best advice is don’t try to talk to women, just talk to people. Find people who share a common interest with you, and just hang out with them doing what you enjoy. Just live your life, and the talking to women part will happen naturally at some point.

What if it’s upper and lower Korea? Everything above the average elevation of Korea is upper, the rest is lower
