Quote of the Day

As political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensating to increase. And the dictator (unless he needs cannon fodder and families with which to colonize empty or conquered territories) will do well to encourage that freedom. In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope and movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude which is their fate.

    1. That’s exactly what makes the whole AI drama so funny. This “artificial intelligence” is more like natural idiocy of the most left-wing of us. All it produces is either unreadable drivel or the standard woke garbage. Or a mix of the two. It’s kind of really pathetic that this is supposed to be the culmination of human ingenuity.

      1. I don’t find AI pathetic. I think it is extremely impressive in solving technical problems.

        I think there is a fundamental difference between silicon based chemistry and carbon based chemistry. Very likely a real AI will require understanding of DNA and how to program in carbon.
