Yeah certainly the woman should be sterilized. Presumably the loss of three children is punishment enough. Still she killed three children I did not follow the story, so I have no idea how it was done. What it grisly—l line a gun shot to the head? There had to be consequences beyond just guilty, right? @aka Contrarian what do you think should be done? It is crystal clear the woman is/was mentally ill. IIf she killed my three kids I’d take her out myself. Was there any fathers involved? What do they want? I’m not a fan of capital punishment in any case. But I appreciate it would be more efficient than keeping the likes of Charley Mason alive and he is mentally Iill too, so what’s really the difference between him and this baby killer?

I believe I know what you meant. Looking over history, one of the greatest technologies was the printing press. Sure, printed material has been used to spread propaganda and lies, but it also made literacy virtually universal and I'd argue has been a net positive for society. I don't AI being a net positive for humanity is off the table. Sure, like atom bombs, AI is poses a potential existential threat. Perhaps I have more faith in AI than I do humanity 🙂

@Pioneer1 when you are walking around your neighborhood and you see rats scurrying about do you take time to look at them and say hey that little guy needs help let me see what I can do but do you just step over with a man go about your business? Why would a a species sufficiently superior superior to us care enough about what we’re doing to get involved?

… but you can get apple pie @Delano and that’s even better.

Social media already took care of that for many of us... Despite it all I have faith that humanity will figure it out, but I'm an eternal optimist...

Forget being on par with MLK. Is your position that we, as a people, are leaderless today?

Hopefully in the next few years AI will assume super-duper human intelligence, take pity on us and replace all human labor and give us an age-reversal-intelligence-enhancing serum enabling us to live in harmony, explore other dimensions in space and time.

Hi @Aquarius Press/Willow Book thanks for sharing your upcoming novel with us. I don't see it in distribution yet. What are you plans for this or will you sell direct to consumer?

How are you judging "leadership?" If it is the number of streets, blvds, and avenues in you name, then MLK is untouchable. But today, 2026, nearly 60 since MLK's murder, who comes closest to MLK? Prior to MLK we can clearly say Marcus Garvey. But today pick a leader or two. If you do you will have no choice but to land on Sharpton. You may not like that answer. We may feel he was thrust upon us by "da man," or is "pimping civil rights in order to shakedown white supremacy" as you say, but in 2026 America, Reverend Al Sharpton is the Black America's leader.

Who comes closest then? You have to pick some Black leader? Rev. Al's National Action Network (NAN), based in Harlem has more than 47 Chapters nationwide. He hosts a national TV show called Politics Nation and a nationally syndicated radio program "Keepin' It Real with Rev Al Sharpton." He advised sitting presidents. MLK could not have imagined such a large platform. I really curious to hear which Black leader anyone would out ahead of Sharpton in 2026.

I don’t it’s just good design, thought the design itself may have been AI generated. From my perspective, the technology that we have been given has increased so dramatically in such a short period of time it is impossible to imagine this all comes from the handiwork of Homo sapiens. I know the software I have is unbelievable and it is effectively free. I know when something so powerful or useful is free that old rule, we are the product applies and that the many hours I've spend using AI will be used to train the models so that they will learn how to better manipulate us and take our data and ideas. The software I have is extremely powerful. I can’t imagine what the they are working within the labs with the frontier models--who some say are sentient. So @aka Contrarian ANYTHING is possible with AI who knows what it’s capable of now. I’m sure every user's experience is very different and that is by design. We can’t collectively come up with a coherent description of it's capabilities because everyone sees AI differently. Connie, it makes me sad to think that your time here may be short. I will definitely miss you. That is assuming I don’t check out before you do ;-) I’m glad we got to meet in person albeit briefly. I wish you could meet Del in person—Mel too. Or catch a bears game with @ProfD If I could, I would even host the Obama style beer summit with you and Pioneer😊

Let data center lose power for five seconds, and you will quickly learn where our priorities are.

Your position has changed overtime. We had long debates over there being a genetic basis for race. Are you distancing yourself from that position now? You also asserted a variety of characteristics to people of different so-called races. I remember quite clearly trying to explain to you that this was the very thing that Whyte racist did to show that Black people were genetically inferior. lol! Ok, ok. Interesting story though. Africa is a big and diverse place which people are you talking about? Is this contemporary information or ancient history?

Thank you for admitting that we can continue to have a conversation :-) Honestly, every article that I’ve read that you cited did not support your argument. Now that’s not saying that I’ve read every article that you’ve ever posted. I’m just reiterating your words calling in a Coke bottle doesn’t change the meaning it just helps you see how ridiculous what you’re saying sounds.

Yes, thery make the form interesting. But, like you, they actually make the forum POSSIBLE.
