I may have spoken about it indirectly, but I don't think I've gone into detail. Most of my political "opinions" are formed by my experience; I rarely discuss anything from a hypothetical situation.

At last count, a little over 3 million votes separate them, and that's not by many votes since he'd been running for office since about 2014. Seriously, in the grand scheme of things, she beat his ass if you compare the time they spent campaigning. He got over 32 percent of the votes of registered voters, which isn't much since 36% of registered voters stayed home. Therefore, it appears you've found this man charismatic - More than 60 % of us did not. So, democracy is the loser here.

Okay, so 74 million and counting of us "just went with Harris," but Donald's supporters were deliberate voters? Chile, please. Maybe you forgot that we also voted for the same ticket in the primaries because, wait for it, we believe in democracy!!! We voted to help those who needed the most help in this country, but now it seems those people are beyond help. Gee Whiz Pioneer. You sound like the MAGAts that spew this same rhetorical nonsense on social media sites. The funny thing about a lot of Democrats is they will be alright no matter how bad it gets here. If it gets too bad, we'll leave. Most of us have passports and global entry. So we have the know-how, and we can do it.

When has the democratic party ever played the RIGHT game? Do you know about Birch Bay? I just learned about him yesterday. Here is his story. How the Electoral College Was Nearly Abolished in 1970 | HISTORY When the Democrats forced President Joe Biden to resign, I vowed to vote independent for the rest of my time here. They always do stupid things like that, which is why I worked with the Republican party from 2006-2008. Then President Obama came, and I gave them one more shot. In doing so, I lost my first and only political office, but I thought the Democratic party was taking a turn for the better. Welp, here we are in 2024, 16 years later, and VP Harris was right: "I'm not going back." because the Democrats are now throwing her under the bus!

Is this about the difference between out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and consciousness? If so, my daughter and I had a similar conversation. OBEs allow you to travel while still identifying with your current incarnation. On the other hand, intuitive experiences can occur through consciousness via meditation, dreams, or even the use of hallucinogens. Or perhaps I misread it, and it’s none of the above.

Wishlist: AALBC Microblogging website

Dang that’s like being in purgatory! -
72,925,374 votes (48.1%) As of November 13, 2024, that is the number of votes cast for Madame Vice President Harris. That number of votes is more than Obama got in 2012, More than Trump won in 2016, and More than Hillary, who won the popular vote in 2016. Harris got less than Biden during the pandemic when absentee ballots were still allowed and counted in most swing states. VP Harris got that many votes in 107 days of campaigning, even with folks voting for third-party candidates, too! Nearly 73 million people understand Harris’s platform. White women, white men, and Latino men polled for voting for Donald in the swing states. None of Donald’s policies protect them, so maybe they believe he protects their “christian” values. Perhaps they think he will bring them a better economy. Only in America can a highly qualified, exemplary professional woman do nearly the impossible and still lose the job to a less-than-mediocre, unqualified white man who is also a felon. Oh, by the way, I read Donald is giving out reparations - TO WHITE PEOPLE!!! In his July video, Trump said:

I'm thankful for what I have and wish for more. Twitter has over a half-billion microbloggers active monthly users after an estimated loss of 900,000 when the South African bought it. Threads by Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has reported 275 M monthly users as of November 3, 2024. After the 2024 Presidential election, many black people are using the platform to make plans for the next revolution. How the hell do you plan a revolution on a white-owned public platform that pays allegiance to white supremacists? Anyway, I wish AALBC was the premier microblogging site - Black people 44 Million strong in America; we still don't control or own a major communications platform. We must do better. @Troy Thank you for following your vision to create and maintain a place for us to call our digital home.

Twin, Why? What does smoking have to do with OBE? I'm receiving your friend's observations as if they are limited.

Dr. Cornel West POTUS Ballot Access 2024
Mel Hopkins replied to ProfD's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
Cornel West is on the ballot here in Georgia, but he is ineligible, so a vote for him would be wasted either way. If West was serious about working for the government, why hasn't he entered any other legislative race? Why does he, like Jill Stein, pop up every four years like it's ground hog day? When I tried contributing to Madame VP Harris's first campaign, she had already suspended it. I was thrilled that Biden selected her as his running mate—she is beyond the most accomplished candidate we've had besides Hillary. And if VP Harris were a man, there would be no question or contest. This is one more reason why I despise this patriarchal society the Europeans created. Early voting starts here on the 15th, and I'm already planning my white ensemble for the inauguration. I've been with HER since then Senator Harris wanted to bring back nationwide after-school programs for our children during her first presidential campaign in 2020. #VoteBlue #VoteHarrisWalz -
Artificial Intelligence Continues to Amaze (and Scare) Me
Mel Hopkins replied to Troy's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
Yes! While it appears nuanced, it is like AI speaking in AAVE (ebonics) or Jamaican Patois. These are all tasks. Most human intellect resides in performing tasks —the first level being mimicking and repetition in learning. These are the tasks AI is performing. Therefore, in addition to my first definition, I will add human intellect development tasks. Generative AI uses predictive text to respond. Once you upload a file, Gen AI provides a summary. If you request that it create a podcast, AI uses the information to generate a conversation. I know this because I go back and forth with Chat GPT. Sometimes, Chat GPT generates my request in two formats so that I can compare. With Audio Gen AI, this task becomes two versions of the same information—but the two outputs have a conversation—predicting how AI -1 will answer based on the last text output of AI -2. So, how do you define the aforementioned level of performance if you believe it's BEYOND task-oriented? Now, when AI is at the apex of performing intellectual tasks and has become cognitive, it responds to requests with an original concept not found in uploaded documents or on the Internet -then whoa. When AI is "thinking, assessing, and being aware" without input, I will find a little plot of land on uncharted territory. -
Thank you! You were the first person I thought about when I heard the news this morning. That's why I popped back in to see if you reached out to @Pioneer1

But telling even a human what you want to accomplish is task-oriented. Here's my definition of the word 1. a usually assigned piece of work often to be finished within a certain time. When I say task, I mean things like writing code, formatting, preparing marketing plans, and even AI-assisted problem-solving as a result of prompting, which is task-oriented. Generative AI isn't at the level of performing at the conceptual framework level since it can't perform abstract thinking or have specific knowledge. Based on the certificate course (Generative AI for everyone| Coursera) I've taken, AI researchers say it may soon take over projects, but not yet. Right now, Gen AI can assist us in many things, but it is still operating at the level of the user, AKA "prompter." The brighter the user, the smarter Gen AI, simply because the user (human) has domain-specific knowledge and knows what to "ask." I'm right with you, though. ChatGPT is my thought partner. Things that I thought were possible are doable, but I didn't have a clear path in the past. With Chat GPT, the outline to results is clear!
