a sign of utter desperation on the human’s part.
Yes it seems to be the same underlying issue that leads some people to throw money at only fans streamers and such like. A complete starvation of personal contact that leads people to willingly live in a fantasy world.

It was also a true AI wasn’t it? It ran locally and was never turned off, so conversations with it were private and it continued to “exist” and develop by itself.

Must’ve been a hell of a shower if adding a whole nother layer of weirdness in the form of time-travellers somehow made anything seem more logical!

Alright, stick your head in the ground if it makes you feel special. You’re clearly too deeply invested in this to listen to reason. It obviously doesn’t matter what you or anyone else believes anyway.

Hinduism is pretty incompatible with the Jesus narrative
Of course it is lol
If there were a real god that cared about what rituals you perform in this life, then you would expect multiple religions to appear independently all over the world with the exact same rituals. But that has never happened once. Every single religion is totally different from all other religions that are properly independent of it.
Never has divine inspiration revealed the same “truth” in different parts of the world independently. Almost as if it’s all just common or garden mental illness.

Don’t you think the Jesus story would be a terrible way for an omnipotent being to send an important message that’s vital for everyone to hear? Just creating a normal human and plonking them in some desert backwater - who looks and sounds just like any other human. The only difference is he hears voices in his head, and can pull off some pretty mediocre magic tricks.
Seems way more likely that Jesus was just another mentally ill person and anyone who thought they saw him after he was dead was simply mistaken.
If all it takes is an appealing story to convince you that something with literally no evidence is true and you should devote your life to it, there are many other stories like that, check out the Baghavad Gita for instance. Some really wonderful characters and truly fantastic events - not to mention absolutely mind-blowing magic, all of it completely true (apparently).
- Comment on Startup formed by former Intel engineers and backed by AMD legendary chip designer wants to become the Arm of RISC-V 1 month ago:
I think they mean that ARM became dominant by widely licencing its RISC architecture to pretty much anyone. This startup wants to make RISC V designs and licence them to various chip manufacturers - so they won’t be in the business of making chips themselves, just the design.
But as long as they are RISC V chips, then they would run the same software as any other RISC V chips.
- Comment on Startup formed by former Intel engineers and backed by AMD legendary chip designer wants to become the Arm of RISC-V 1 month ago:
Would that be a risk? Isn’t the whole point of RISC V that its ISA is open and free to use? That’s not the case for ARM or Intel’s x86 architecture.

God the UK is desperate if getting a shitty company like this on the books is something to be celebrated.
- Comment on TFW you think you got away with it for 137 years but then the cops come knockin 2 months ago:
yes we can make an assumption that that is indeed what they think, but that’s not actually what they said with the sentence “This wouldn’t hold up in modern court let alone Victorian age court”. So perhaps they accidentally used incorrect phrasing, but even so, the logic doesn’t follow - if something doesn’t hold up in modern-day court, that tells us nothing about whether or not it would hold up in Victorian times, when standards of evidence were indeed lower.
- Comment on Axel Rudakubana: 'Evil' Southport killer jailed for minimum 52 years 2 months ago:
I want to add my tuppence worth as well. Even if one day we have a justice system that can be 100.000% certain of guilt AND 100% certain that there is no chance of rehabilitation, I think we should still not have the death penalty, because I don’t think spending the energy and time killing individuals in cold blood is a healthy way for a society to behave. This Rudakubana guy may be some kind of monster, but that doesn’t mean that acting monstrously towards him is somehow acceptable.
- Comment on Of Mice and Men taken off Wales' GCSE syllabus because of racial slurs - Wales Online 3 months ago:
I’d say these books are important for anyone studying American literature - and probably essential for anyone studying American literature of the 20th Century.
They’re not so important for Welsh pupils and don’t need to be included in a general English literature syllabus for 15-year-olds in the UK. The reasoning for choosing not to include these sorts of works in the list of required and optional texts for this specific qualification are pretty convincing IMO and I completely support it.
No books are being banned from schools or anything like that. The article headline is I suspect just trying to get clicks from the anti-woke crowd.
- Comment on Of Mice and Men taken off Wales' GCSE syllabus because of racial slurs - Wales Online 3 months ago:
The book hasn’t been banned, it’s just not been selected as a required or optional text in a new English qualification for Welsh schools. Steinbeck is a wonderful author and story-teller, and his stories provide a useful insight into America’s difficult recent past in regards to racial segregation (as well as other issues such as oppression of the poor). America is an important country, and it’s useful to understand why it remains such a damaged society with deep racial divides even today, but it’s not Wales is it.
