“Christ” as in the son of God as we read about in the Bible, “Christ” clearly did not exist. If there was an individual who served as the historic basis, that is something else entirely. It’s like saying Christopher Robin or Carrol’s Alice was a real person. Or the characters from Dante’s Inferno. They are fictional reflections of people that exist not to tell us about the history of that potentially real person but for literary reasons.

It’s considered more sophisticated and refined.
Especially since it’s not even criminal.
That only makes sense if both you and the CIA genuinely want the same thing. That’s bonkers to even put into type. If the CIA genuinely wants to do something good, then you saying, “find someone else to help you,” does not stand in the way of that good being done. There is zero risk from an altruistic point of view, the perceived risk here is that you don’t get money. That’s so short-sighted.
And anyway, they don’t want the same thing as you. Reducing harm is not their mandate. You are taking something you care about, and you are giving it to the CIA for their unstated ends. Congratulations, you no longer have something you care about.
People somehow don’t realize how MrBeast got his start. He performed superhuman feats of boredom and endurance to get his channel certified. I seem to recall he counted to a million in another stream. I was really confused when the popular media started talking about someone I knew as a sideshow freak in a similar genre to LA Beast. The guy isn’t dealing with the normal human configuration of brain goo. His relationship with human suffering is fucking WEIRD. It’s like he’s lost the ability to comprehend what it is, and he just walks around faking it. It kinda scares me that he is so powerful now. Both in the immediate, “he’s going to fuck shit up,” sense, and also as a microcosm.

It’s shocking there hasn’t been a major amateur drone attack in the USA yet.

“Child-free” just means what it says on the box. However, you might be interested in exploring the anti-natalism movement.
Abolish animal abuse
I’m not going to be upset about that.
In 2026? I don’t know what the situation was back then, but if the CIA came to you in 2026 with a bunch of funding for a project that was actually important and meaningful to you, you would take that money??
Sadly untrue. False bravado on the part of evil’s victims.
What data are you using to come to this scarcely creditable claim? IM texts and street signs would be rather moving the goalpost, I think.
I saw him read a book when he was a kid. The dictionary. For like 24 hours straight on a webcam.
We’re talking about net worth.
An inspectable dataset would allow users audit according to their own project’s values and obligations. That’s the only standard that matters. I don’t yet see the need to bring a discussion of universal ethics into this.
Datasets containing unlicensed, stolen, and even privileged information have been used for major commercial models. This is a concrete problem for some people, and open source datasets address directly address it.
You tangentially bring up a bunch of other stuff but don’t appear willing to defend a position on any of it. I don’t really understand your point. You can speculate about what Jesus’s objection might be, but if you’re not willing to bring forward your own objections, I’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish at this point.
IMHO, the problem with AI isn’t AI, it’s that we are permitting states and obscenely wealthy individuals to engage in an extremely wasteful winner-takes-all arms race. IMHO, there is nothing wrong with private individuals exploring LLMs and other new AI technologies, and self-hosted open source models are the only way we get to participate and potentially protect ourselves.
Most resources have a URI, Universal Resource Identifier. Related to a URL, except that it doesn’t necessarily tell you how to locate the resource it identifies, URIs have dozens of schemas (eg isbn: for books) that can identify virtually any kind of media. Ideally they would tell us the URI, all metadata, source/provenance/licensing information, and the hash of the resource. If they truly are training on anonymous unattributed blobs that they just mysteriously found in their dataset, well that would be interesting to learn.
It would allow users to audit the dataset for ethical concerns, to interrogate the set to understand what a model does and does not “know”, to identify weaknesses and biases, and to ensure that nothing has been inserted specifically to engineer prompt responses. Just examples off the top of my head.
Umm I meant replacing one of your school shootings or fertilizer bombs
