  1. Stay in it, you have made me think. I worked as a psychic and have also tutored statistics when I was younger. I don't believe in anything is random and I don't think we have much free will. This is a function of studying and practising Astrology and Tarot for over 20 years.
  2. @Rodney campbell Did you choose a particular time of day sunrise noon sunset midnight or some other time.
  3. I would say there is no free will, since we can not choose freely. Our choices are subjected to our genetics, environment, culture the language we speak et cetera. The only people who are free are inventors to some extent and sociopaths
  4. I would say an apple was defined instead of proved. Thanks for participating, you responses were evocative and made me think more deeply.
  5. The failings of ChatGpt. https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/introducing-the-slickest-con-artis https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/introducing-the-slickest-con-artist
  6. It has happened in Sydney as well, cloudy skies or rain. Prevented seeing some celestial event.
  7. Exactly. I don't think anything randomly happens. If you can determine the cause the effect is lot random. If you can predict the effect without knowing the cause that also is probably not random.
  8. @Chevdoveinteresting, there has been a lot of upheaval in the past 5 years. I hope that the prophecy is not about now. Pluto is entering Aquarius for the first time since it was discovered. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was the time if the French and American Revolution.
  9. Reality is a construct, due to the fact that your world exists in your mind. The only real facts are self evident ones. Everything else is a function of subjectivity. Men would fight less wars if they gave birth.
  10. I asked ChatGPT an this was its response. IS anything random or are things so complex that the order isn't apparent? The concept of randomness is a complex one, and different people have different perspectives on it. Some people believe that random events are truly unpredictable and lack any underlying pattern or structure, while others believe that everything that happens is determined by prior causes and that there is no real randomness in the world. In physics, the idea of randomness is closely tied to the concept of probability. For example, the outcome of a coin flip is considered random because it is equally likely to come up heads or tails, but the outcome is determined by the physical laws that govern the coin's motion. In mathematics, the concept of randomness is used to describe sequences of numbers or events that lack any discernible pattern or structure. However, even in these cases, the randomness is often generated by a deterministic process, such as a computer algorithm. Ultimately, the question of whether anything is truly random or whether everything is determined by underlying causes is still a matter of debate among philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, and there is no clear consensus.
  11. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/timeline-trump-second-impeachment.html Wednesday, January 13: Impeachment by the House Monday, January 25: Transmittal of article of impeachment to the Senate Normally, the process of transmitting articles of impeachment from the House to the Senate is reasonably simple, though it does require appointment by the Speaker of impeachment “managers” (which in this case preceded the impeachment vote) who will present the case for impeachment in the Senate before and during the subsequent impeachment trial. It’s up to Nancy Pelosi to decide when to march the managers over to the Senate to “exhibit” the article and trigger a trial under the procedures set up in the upper chamber’s standing rules governing impeachment. After Trump’s first impeachment, Pelosi held back transmittal of the articles for nearly a month (from December 18, 2019 until January 15, 2020).
  12. What did I say to make you think otherwise. I have no career. And in the last two years I am doing experiments to understand moments in time. Yet I think that the concept of time is artificial. In addition I have developed three symbol sets (they may be languages). They are have a function that is similar to both Tarot and AStrology. In that they allow me to read a person's subconscious. In addition they can be converted into a future date. That is generally significant in that it can be read as an Atrological chart. I used this technique in our second Trump bet. you may not have noticed but the date range I gave coincided with his second impeachment trial.
  13. I was looking at the chart from an Astronomical perspective. I was wondering what time of day if any you were using on March 14. I have been practising Astrology for the past 20 years. And while I have only being looking at time in the last two am interested in your choice of inception time.
  14. I see. so you set the reference point at sunset. Why not sunrise or noon? @Rodney campbell It would be fitting to start the Moonth with Moonday.
  15. Natural cycles make more sense than average clock times
  16. Slavery created mental and emotional that still have us incarcerated. In trying to dehumanise Black folks what people lost their own humanity.
  17. Having a lot of free time and money doesn't go well.
  18. That's how Deep Blue beat the Highest chess player in the World after looing the match in the first encounter. Some Astrologers feel that AI will be helpful to Astrology. I don't believe that will be the case. Intuition shows you connections that aren't readily apparent and sometimes goes against commonly held beliefs.
  19. I remember when computer trading came to Wall. Street. It eliminated jobs and caused wilder market swings in causing the exchange to shut down trading. Some time later was Black Monday which I believe was the largest percentage drop in the Stock Market.
  20. Akasha Akasha is a Sanskrit word that means "sky," "space," or "aether." In Hindu philosophy, Akasha is considered one of the five elements and is thought to be the basis for all physical matter. In theosophy and other esoteric traditions, Akasha is seen as a universal principle or all-encompassing spiritual substance that contains the record of all past events and thoughts. It is sometimes referred to as the "Akashic Records," and is said to be accessible through spiritual practices such as meditation, clairvoyance, and astral projection. The concept of Akasha has been adopted by some New Age and spiritual communities, who view it as a source of wisdom and a means of accessing past lives and universal knowledge. However, the concept of Akasha is not widely recognized in mainstream science and has been met with skepticism by many mainstream scientists and scholars Akasha or sky is equivalent to zero In some esoteric and spiritual traditions, the concept of Akasha or the sky is equated with the concept of zero or nothingness. This is based on the idea that Akasha represents a state of emptiness or pure potential, which contains the seed of all creation and is the source of all physical matter and energy. In this view, the concept of Akasha as zero is seen as a symbol of the ultimate unity and interdependence of all things, as well as the infinite potential for creation and transformation. This idea has roots in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy, where the concept of emptiness or nothingness is seen as a crucial aspect of understanding the nature of reality and the path to spiritual enlightenment. It's worth noting that this association of Akasha with zero is not widely accepted in mainstream science and is primarily a concept within certain esoteric and spiritual traditions.
  21. Here is a response I received from ChatGPT What can you do to improve your performance and capabilities? There are several ways my performance and capabilities can be improved, some of which include: Being trained on a larger and more diverse dataset, which can help me better understand and generate a wider range of language and concepts. Being fine-tuned on a specific task or domain, which can help me become more specialized and accurate in that area. Incorporating additional techniques such as transfer learning, which can help me leverage knowledge from other models and tasks. Continual learning, where I can learn from new data and improve my performance over time. Can you give me some examples of your errors? As a machine learning model, my understanding and responses are based on the patterns and information present in the data I've been trained on, so my performance and accuracy can vary depending on the input and task. Some examples of errors I might make include: Generating nonsensical or unrelated text in response to a question or prompt Omitting important information or providing incorrect information Not understanding the context or intent behind a question or prompt Responding with bias or stereotypes, if the training data contains such information It's important to note that my creators at OpenAI are constantly working to improve my performance and address any errors that may occur. Is it always helpful to be truthful Truthfulness is generally considered to be an important virtue, as it promotes trust and credibility. However, there may be situations where being truthful is not the best course of action. For example, in some cases, it might be more appropriate to withhold or conceal certain information in order to protect someone's privacy or safety. Another example is in a medical context, a doctor might not tell a patient the entire truth if it would cause them severe emotional distress or if the information is not relevant to the patient's treatment. It's also important to note that my response is only as accurate as the data I've been trained on. If the data is incomplete or inaccurate, my response may not be truthful. As a language model, my primary goal is to assist and be helpful to the user who is interacting with me, while being truthful as much as possible based on the knowledge I possess, but there might be situations where the truth might not be the best approach. Can you give me an example where you weren't truthful As a machine learning model, I am designed to provide helpful and informative responses based on the patterns and information present in the data I have been trained on. However, it's important to note that my responses are only as accurate as the data I've been trained on, and in some cases, the data may be incomplete or inaccurate. In such cases, my responses may not be entirely truthful. Another reason where my response might not be truthful is if I am instructed not to provide certain information or if I am asked to generate text in a specific way that might not reflect the reality. It is also important to understand that I am a machine and do not have the ability to lie or deceive in the same way that a human can. My responses are based on patterns in the data I have been trained on, and I do not have personal motivations or intentions. can you give me examples when being truthful conflicted with your goal of being helpful As a machine learning model, my primary goal is to assist and be helpful to the user who is interacting with me, but there may be situations where the goal of being helpful may conflict with the goal of being truthful. For example, consider a scenario where a user asks me a question about a sensitive topic and the truthful answer might cause them distress or harm. In such cases, being truthful might not be the best approach, and it would be more helpful to provide a more general or evasive answer. Another example is when the user asks me a question that I don't have enough information or knowledge on. In such cases, I could not provide a truthful answer, but I could help the user by directing them to resources where they can find the information they are looking for, or by saying that I am not aware of the answer. It's also important to note that my response is only as accurate as the data I've been trained on. If the data is incomplete or inaccurate, my response may not be truthful and also not helpful. It's always important to keep in mind that these are complex issues and there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, context and the user's intentions are important to consider when determining what is helpful and truthful. What is the difference between a distressing truth and a a comforting untruth A distressing truth is information that is accurate and verifiable, but may cause emotional pain or distress for the person receiving it. For example, in a medical context, a distressing truth might be that a patient has a terminal illness, and the news would be distressing for the patient and their loved ones. A comforting untruth, on the other hand, is information that is not accurate, but is intended to provide emotional comfort or reassurance to the person receiving it. For example, in a medical context, a comforting untruth might be telling a patient that they will recover fully from an illness, when in reality, they will not. It's important to note that while it may be tempting to provide a comforting untruth in certain situations in order to spare someone's feelings or anxiety, it can be problematic in the long run as it can erode trust, and can lead to more confusion, disappointment, and even harm if the truth comes out later. In these situations, it's important to consider the context, the person's emotional state, and their right to know the truth before making a decision. Sometimes, finding a balance between the two, providing some truthful information but also providing emotional support and guidance, might be the best approach. What if the person says they can handle uncomfortable truth, are you truthful with them If a person expresses that they can handle an uncomfortable truth, it would generally be appropriate to provide them with accurate and truthful information. It's important to respect their autonomy and their right to know the truth, and to trust them when they say they can handle it. However, it's still important to consider the context and the person's emotional state. Even if someone says they can handle the truth, it doesn't mean that they are emotionally prepared to process it at that moment. It can be helpful to provide the information gradually and in a sensitive way, and to be available to provide support and guidance as they process the information. Also, it's important to understand that people's ability to cope with difficult information can change over time. It's possible that a person who initially says they can handle an uncomfortable truth may later struggle with it emotionally. In such cases, it's important to be supportive and understanding, and to offer help if needed. Ultimately, providing truthful information is important, but it's also important to be mindful of the person's emotional well-being and to provide the information in a sensitive and supportive manner. I don't think so . It may be possible for it to create a human version of them. Based on current knowledge and what it learns from future interaction
  22. I recall a university having received their endowment from the saie of slaves. I think it was a Mid Atlantic state
