I agree with you and u/hfxB0oyA both.

Two people were caught selling the scrap metal and arrested. The man is in jail as of today (Apr-17-2024.)

Google abandoned their original motto years ago.

This person "worked on a YouTube Shorts recommendation algorithm for Google."

Oh, you thought it was down for the count? The thing rises back up with movement unlike any human.

We definitely need a Savior.

AI now beats humans at basic tasks - new benchmarks are needed
In-the-clouds 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 3 days ago

AI has become.... "so advanced that they now very nearly match or exceed human performance in tasks including reading comprehension, image classification and competition-level mathematics...." and let us not fail to mention its ability to disseminate propaganda and to control the minds of human beings with lies and deception.

I suggest the new benchmark be: the capacity to love. Pure, undefiled, unselfish love.... I think the soul of a human being will always be able to outdo AI in that benchmark.

I have not found one yet that is truly unbiased. Bing is probably giving me the best results. I also use perplexity and you.com with sometimes good results. At least they do not ask for my email or phone number, but they are biased. If you know of anything better, I would like to hear it.

Elon Musk one of the "100 most influential AFRICANS!" ~ This man, funded by the US government, responsible in part for rocket launches over the United States, was not even born in the US, but in Africa.... later he moved to Canada, and after that came to the US.

I was surprised to learn he was not born in America, considering how much government work he does. I just assumed he was an American since birth. Now you bring up his race, claiming he is white and better, but I have more respect for the Africans who remain in the nation where they were born, trying to make their home a better place without draining the wallets of the US taxpayers.

You say it is fine, but he does not have to run for president in order to receive more US government funding than the typical American-born citizen will ever receive in their lifetime. Likewise, the leader of Ukraine does not need to be president of the United States in order to receive billions of American money. The United States is being looted and sold out to other nations. Soon, America will fall and be no more.... conquered by its enemies. The individuals that repent and turn to Jesus shall be saved.

Elon Musk uses benign violation theory....
In-the-clouds[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 3 days ago

For propaganda to be effective, it may need to introduce a benign violation: presenting an idea or behavior that challenges social norms but also makes it seem acceptable or harmless.

In contrast, this kind of speech would not work:

We are going to take your hard-earned tax dollars and build our own space program that you will have no part in.

My garden update from today: I see a bell pepper! Two pepper plants survived the winter!

I appreciate you sharing those notes. Now I see it is possible for pepper plants to live even longer than two seasons! The pepper plants seem to be like short-lived tropical trees.

I had a weird dream

The observation about funerals is something I have also noticed the few times I have been to a funeral. It is not right to assume that a dead person is in heaven or "went home to be the Lord", especially if we know the man died in his sins. God does not force people to go to heaven against their will. Where a man's heart is, there will his treasure be also. If people do not love God and his ways, why would they want to be in his kingdom? So, yes, I agree with that Twitter post.

Ironically, this conversation started because of your dream, and I woke up this morning with my own dream. I saw Twitter's public face: Elon Musk. I saw a hand applying lipstick to his lips. Two other hands were covering what that hand was doing. There were a total of three hands. What does this mean? He was wearing lipstick.... two other hands were trying to cover his mouth.... but I could still see the third hand applying the lipstick. I searched online for: Elon Musk lipstick .... and found this news: Twitter to charge money for new people to post anything! And the news was posted to "lipstickalley.com", a forum I had never heard of before. And you suggested I look at a Twitter post!

Are you having good results with Gab? I asked if I should take the COVID "vaccine" and according to the instructions posted above, Gab did not recommend it. I was allowed to ask 3 questions before it insisted I provide my email address.

But how good are these instructions? It was stated repeatedly that the instructions should never be printed, and yet there it is.

We survived COVID and many of us required no "professional" medical care. Next, we have disease X, but you might do better surviving it if you stayed away from the medical system.

eventually I decide to pack up and head home. Except I can't find my car.

This is how the world works. It entices you with shopping, games, and distractions. We may use up our entire life being distracted, not realizing why we were actually here.

When you decide to go home, how are you going to get there without your car? At the moment of death, your spirit leaves your body. How are you going to get "home" without it? You may try to return to your physical shell, but then it is too late. When the physical life is over, you find yourself in another world.

marveling how all of this was here this whole time but I never knew

The spirit realm is real and we all came from there and return. How did you not know? What will you do now? How will you return to your Father's house? You feel separated from "home" because you are. But there is hope, if you turn to Jesus. He is the bridge that leads from the physical life, across the abyss, into the kingdom of spirits, where his Father's house has many mansions. For those who turn to him now, he prepares a place for us, so that where he lives, we may live also.

Today, you still have your car. It's not too late to drive home. You are still in your physical shell. Today is the day of salvation. You can make the drive and return home if you make the right choice and refuse to let the world distract you. Yes, beautiful women can make a man dumb and distracted through lust.

Taking a break.

choosing what I want to think about

It is liberating to search for what we want to learn about instead of letting a corporation distract us with what they want us to think about.

Search and you shall find.

Ask and you shall receive.

Knock, and the door shall be opened to you.

If you write the post, I hope I see it.

"Satan Summoning His Legions" ~ As human beings on earth wake up, they begin to realize they were born into a heavenly battle. The battle is over the souls of men. The devil has great wrath because he knows his time is short. Revelation 12:12

Not long at all. God gives us his pure word from above, but it is easily corrupted by man. Since man will never have his free will taken away, he can and often does pervert the truth to justify his own evil plans. It was the religious leaders who demanded that the King of glory be crucified.

Many will think they are actually doing God a service by killing his people.

u/Musky encouraged me to try to keep the pepper plants alive during the winter. He and his parents keep pepper plants alive in Texas for more than one growing season. Isn't that right, Musky?

Is that the same plant that you had a year ago?

Only Lucifer faced consequences for his attempts.

We all face consequences for each decision we make, whether good or bad.
