— Hits & Runs: Tucker on Twitter; UFO Nonsense; Andreessen on AI Future; And Much More…

Two crazy fantastic new posts up for your review. You know, I keep getting input from people of the form, not interested in AI.

Yes, you are.

You just don’t know it, yet. And mark those words. It is my duty to publish what is true and correct in my honest and transparent assessment, and to always discount and dismiss concerns, complaints, or preferences that run counter to that mission. Politely, of course, since you’ve no obligation to listen.

I would be derelict, pathetic, and pretty much like every whore-fuck out there if I ran polls, noted the high percentage of Waaaa AI and so stopped presenting what I consider to be of paramount importance to the future I am astutely predicting. See the testimonials about my spidey senses in that regard, if you think that’s hype.

In conciliation, I am certainly on the active daily prowl to present the information in the best, most engaging way I can. It’s my feelz that I’m improving on that score. One big step in that regard is the 2nd of these two posts.

1. The Universe Is Not Malevolent — Neither Is AI — Nor Is It Benevolent Per Se…But AI Has The Capacity. You might be surprised to hear that both the political left and the political right operate and agree wholeheartedly on the exact same fundamental premise: the malevolent universe. It’s what gives rise to things like the notion of original sin, altruistic self-sacrifice (to spirits or landscapes), and most annoying of all, never-ending, back-to-back crises everyone should be fearful of and clamoring for salvation from, by your elected officials, priests, gurus, and all those demanding alms from you. A pox.
2. Will Artificial Intelligence Condemn Your Religion, or Save It? — There’s only one possible future. This was the result of a good-natured assessment by a member and I took it as a challenge to do something a little different, demonstrating how I use AI to be super-effective in getting a substantial writing project done fast, with plenty of research. All the research has been made available in a free download, and it’s pretty remarkable. All of that, 12 pages of it, in 40 minutes.

1. Well, he did it. Tucker Carlson showed ’em and showed ’em good. He sets an example. He could have spent capital throwing a royal fit, claiming every right to do so, and who could honestly argue with that? But he didn’t. If you’re old enough, you probably heard the admonition to “be the bigger man” a time or two, and I think Tucker set a graceful example in that. The show is called Tucker Carlson | on Twitter. This is quite a coup for both Tucker and Elon, two substantially important forces in our little universe. I’m violating my rule against embedding rather than just shooting the link. Over 100 Million views currently.

2. Now to back peddle a bit on the above. One brief segment is about a UFO story. First, what’s the essential question to ask anyone who claims to have seen one? Cool. What’s its identity? I don’t buy any of it, neither does Jordan Schachtel, so I dropped a comment: You’ve nailed it. As I’ve always said. Show me a high-res aerial video of one of these things that’s not grainy and blurry. JUST ONE! Two probs for me, 1) The SOL. For this to be true, it necessarily means that extraterrestrials (which do likely exist in their own solar systems scattered throughout all galaxies) have cracked the speed of light limitation. A tall order, to say the least. 2) a) Why? and b) Why us, of all potential places to visit, assuming #1 is reconciled? If things like financial principals and economics exist for ETs in their own peculiar ways, which generally stated is allocation of resources/values/time…what have they possibly to gain by coming here and if #1 is resolved, they are [literally] light years ahead of us. For me, this is all laughable and the province of non-critical thinkers.

3. For whom does the name Marc Andreessen ring a bell? He’s a VC now, but back in the day 30 years ago, he was quite the Internet pioneer. Developed the first workable web browser for humans, Mosaic, which then sort of morphed into Netscape, and it was the browser of choice for a LONG time…essentially until Firefox came along. He’s worth $1.7 Big Ones with a B. Anyway, he penned a fantastic thread with the purpose of calming down all the nattering nabobs of negativity with respect to AI. Covers everything, very well organized. Essential. Check it out. (The section on “AI Alignment” [censorship], AI Risk #2: Will AI Ruin Our Society? is arguably the most important, and I’m gratified to read he’s on the correct side of that.)

4. But this gives me great pause and I hope Elon knows what the fuck he’s doing because I don’t think the Chinese operate from anything close to [what were] Western values. They’re kind of an enigma in Asia…unlike all the rest…in my observation. I’m not counting the Taiwanese or colonists (HK, Macau) in that, who seem quite different from the mainlanders, to me. And referencing #3, above, China is actually the big AI risk, according to Andreessen. I hope Marc and Elon are talking. Incidentally, I wish the term “communists,” would be dropped in reference to China. They’re totalitarians. The individual is meaningless to those ants, bees, and Borg Collective.

5. Those familiar with Anthony Colpo probably know that he, like many others, is now blogging from Substack. One of his more recent posts might raise some eyebrows when he asks if the unvaxxed ought to risk having sex with the vaxxed. Merely asking the question is enough to give pause, I would think, because it raises disquieting issues. Apparently there are at least enough anecdotes out there to warrant some measure of concern. There’s the issue of “shedding,” and what’s being shed would be the spike protein the vaxxed have been turned into being production factories for, apparently.

6. … Which leads to the next item about some of the things in these shed spike proteins that supposedly evolved totally naturally they promise because no way they could be engineered are you crazy. Would you believe not 1; not 2; but 3 count ’em 3 things you’d totally expect to find in there for sure are you kidding. Would you believe some measure of rabies? Smidgen of HIV? How about just a pin prick’s worth of snake venom? Via Jeff Childers’ daily, “The SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein contains a neurotoxin-like region that has sequence similarities to the rabies virus and the HIV glycoproteins, as well as to snake neurotoxins, which interact with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes via this region.” Well, 98 times I warned about every last bullshit fraudulent thing about this whole global crime. Didn’t see these coming, though.

7. So naturally, this might become a thing. “The demand for unvaccinated blood is on the rise, a blood products and services provider said.” What’s next? Well, there’s this item claiming Pfizer documented that 72% of adverse events to their safe & effective bromide-thingy were sustained by women and of those, an important percentage are for various reproductive dysfunctions. Anything else? This was covered also by Childers at the same link, here’s Epoch Times. It’s further evidence, as reported some months ago, that repeated jabs increase IgG4 antibodies and that’s not good. Weakens immune systems and, incidentally, is the same reason other vaccines failed in trails for doing the same thing. But of course, those were not safe and effective, and these just are. They promissed.

8. Given all that’s happened in terms of Covid, this makes perfect sense, then. North Korea Wins Leading Role at World Health Organization. I see stuff like this, and perhaps this is a you-had-to-be-there moment, but it reminds me of a friend of mine who, years ago, wrote an entire essay in an online political forum about how neighborhood street cleaning is the essence of perfection: in terms of a government program and a government employee job. Every appointed day of the week, everyone has to hassle-hustle to park their cars elsewhere. Then the sweeper contraption comes through…tail swinging in, out…this way and that…brushes rotating, not quite making full contact; vacuum roaring, water spraying; and after it’s passed, you marvel at what an amazing job it has done spreading all the dirt that had come to rest in the gutter, now all over the place in nice, circular patterns… Perfect.

9. I kinda sorta made the Pattaya newspaper. Marijuana plantation in Pattaya condo goes up in smoke. Actually, it was the unit 2 floors above me. I was sitting at my desk as I am now and noticed a vapor mist wafting down outside. I figure someone above was hosing off their balcony patio. Then power went out. Then I see people standing on the various exterior corridors watching something going on above me. The news article is a total riot. Obviously written by a Thai staff writer taking drama classes and showing off their English writing skills. It was a few plants, no damage to any other units, the power outage was precautionary, and restored in 30 minutes. Get a load of this Pulitzer material: “Pattaya’s firefighters swiftly responded to the distress call, mobilizing the Pattaya City Fire Department, dispatching five fire trucks to combat the raging inferno. The eight-story condominium became the battleground for a fierce struggle between the brave firefighters and the menacing flames. Despite the daunting challenge, the fire brigade worked together to suppress the fire, eventually gaining control and preventing further devastation.”

10. Ever eaten a pomelo? I find them difficult to describe. Think of an orange or grapefruit, but when you peel pomelos, the white stuff just wants to get far away. They peel clean. They taste nothing like oranges or grapefruits, yet are delicious. Not super sweet, not sour. Peel them, and they’ll keep fresh in the fridge for days, rivaling jackfruit on that score—which keep damn near forever and stay snappy and fresh. Anyway, they’re coming to a place near you if you’re in the USA. They’re amongst my favs. The red or pink are the best.

11. “Europe is Lost and now want Africa to be Lost.” By the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni. Quite a message he gives to his people about avoiding the decay and depravity of America and Western Europe in exchange for bucks, becoming “prostitutes.” Listen to it and marvel over what a situation this represents. All you in the Western world caving every day on every value you claimed to hold…accepting things your grandparents would have thought unthinkable. The West (America, Canada, Western Europe, Oz, and NZ, mostly) is gonna find out the hard way. The entire rest of the world is disgusted with all of you and want nothing to do with a single gram measure of your woke degenerate bullshit. You believe you are leading the way. Perhaps you are. Have you looked behind, to see if anyone’s following?

12. I didn’t even know Fred was still writing, on everything. Yep. Same Fred, same blog design since forever. Twilight of the European Peoples. “A wag once described Washington as a federal conclave surrounded on all sides by reality. In this there is much truth. It is a city isolated from what it doesn’t want to know, wallowing in its supposed indispensability and unaware of how much of the world wants, and intends, to dispense with it.”

13. This is where I get to break the rules, the last item. More than 1 paragraph. Drop an image, embed a video, maybe. Let’s have a music video, which is hard to do and has kinda gone out of vogue since people began to realize that tastes in such things vary so widely, there’s very little return on investment.

Let’s try anyway. There’s this track put out 13 years ago, 2011. Band called 3-11 Porter, “Surround me with your love.” It’s weird. “It is a blend of various musical styles, primarily falling under the genres of electronic music, downtempo, and trip-hop.” I vaguely remember it, then it got popular again here in Thailand and I heard a beat remix of the thing and had to find it.

Puts me in a mood of wanting to head out to a late-night dance joint at 3 am, sit in a dark space wearing sunglasses; stoic, expressionless, and move to the music almost imperceptibly, sipping on a Red Bull & soda. Many layers to this one, added in at 30-second to 1-minute intervals. If you get through the first minute, you’re stickin’ with it.
