Just to close the loop on this conversation I spent about a year working with BISG which resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of BISAC codes for book about Black people: Checout the current {2026} list of "Black" BISAC codes: https://aalbc.com/african_american_bisacs

The indexing problem has been fixed. Well there are other issues but the main ones have been addressed :-) I don't know what you mean by an embedding box?

Yeah the title is not in the index that was generated in fact Tomi herself in not in the index. That is a problem that I need to look into sooner than later. Thanks for taking the time to point that out.

Happy Birthday Connie! You are blessed to have such a sharp mind, still willing to learn new things and explore new tech including AI. Many people 1/2 your age are less capable mentally--seriously.

Oh, on the contrary: Tomi Adeyemi is one of the top-selling authors on AALBC--indeed the nation. Now this begs the question: Why did you think she was not on the website?

I wasn't aware of the film -- thanks

Well, I'm a baby boomer but I can relate to much of what was said in the video. I only watched about 1/2 of it as there was nothing particular revelatory about it and it was getting redundant. Plus it struck me as AI. I apparently was not as moved by it as you were. Sure, shit is hard for a lot of older Black men, what else is new? It is not just Black men. I see a lot of white seniors greeting folks at walmat, driving ubers, working checkout at Costco, I doubt people do these jobs for just something to do. I know a few retirees who make more money in retirement than they did working -- usually some disability claim in involved...

Alcohol reduces inhibitions... man you act like you never drank to excess or been around someone who has. Making the leap to possession is absurd. One would have though experience would have taught you that. Dude! You do this all the time -- without exception you cite a source claiming to support an assertion of yours and it DOES THE EXACT OPPOSITE. I have pointed this out to you previously that is when I started calling you incorrigible. Did you even read the study? Seriously, tell the truth. I actually read it before I responded to you the first time. Read it. The paper CLEARLY states patients switch to a secondary language in which they have some proficiency... Again, you want to believe these people are possessed so you cite paper you have not read and share video of lay people taking shit. FLS is not possession! SMH, oh my goodness... Between you and Franster this week LOL! No, I do not believe in a spirit that could be trapped in a bottle coke bottle or gain it's freedom only after granting you three wishes. I do not reject the idea of spirits at all. I just don't believe they are responsible for FLS, the behavior of black out drunks, or any of the other conditions you have attributed simply because there are more reasonable explanations available. Occam's Razor, Brother.

We still talkin' 'bout Puffy here? Clearly you are unfamiliar with this story. This is not just based upon hoover statements. Hoover attempted to use this information against MLK. LOL! I'm completely satisfied never giving the entire Dollar store franchise, nationally, another penny. I got a nicer (obviously) bottle later that day from a more respectable establishment 😁

You're speaking with a forked tongue or don't know what anecdote means. The story you related is an anecdote. It is interesting fodder for a conversation, but irrelevant to understanding what is really going on. For that you need data and for the prison population we have pretty good data: Here is peer reviewed research from the Journal of the American Medical Association, which reports that from April 2020 through April 2021, the age- and sex-standardized COVID-19 mortality rate was about 2.5 to 3 times higher among people in prison. Here The European Medicines Agency (EMA) states plainly: A vaccine against an infectious disease is not considered a gene therapy, as it does not aim to restore, correct or modify human genes. Therefore, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are not considered gene therapies. Now you are free to reject all of these facts, but you must understand at that point we are no longer having a meaning or serious conversation. Because a using a clip, taken out of context, but a technically illiterate CEO speaking sloppy about gene therapy is insufficient to reject the science. Wouldn't you agree Frankster? BTW: Is the reason you have not visited Africa is because of the vaccines or is there another reason cost, obligations at home, afraid of being eaten by a cannibal (I'm assuming you are Black)?

@ProfD Since I don't allow people, who can't be bothered to create an account, post message. This is entirely due to the fact that the site would be completely overrun with spam. Spammer create account but I kill them before they can post. Anywho... You'll be pleased to know that someone reported your comment writing; "This post is clearly full of racism and calling for hate towards a specific color of people are absolutely insane. That post is contradicting themselves. Let’s keep spreading hate amongst color." 🙂

This year? Please share a link or tell us where you read this. I found this story, "A Black woman was found hanging from a tree in Mississippi," from just a few days ago. The same article referenced a white man found hanging from a tree, this just a few hours after a Black student was found hanging from a tree on DSU's campus. That is three within the past year in Just MS alone. None of these instances were attributed to foul play. The NAACP reports, based upon data from Tuskegee, that in the 86-year period from 1882 to 1968 that there were 581 documented (which means there were probably more) lynchings in MS--that is more that 1 every two weeks for nearly a century. Mississippi God Damn!

The military videos have already been shared here... Calling everything from schizophrenia to drunkenness is just a renaming of possession makes no sense -- where is your scientific objectivity?

Stefan Oelrich said the Mrna is an example of gene therapy and cell therapy. It can't be both because they are two completely different things -- this is just a fact These are facts too some of this stuff is taught in high school DNA is not equal to RNA Genes are part of DNA The Covid Vaccine 19 do not work with or alter DNA, not even the MRNA vaccine. Gene Therapy is used, but not with any Covid vaccines Stefan Oelrich is not a doctor or a scientist. Indeed there is not evident of any technical training in his background. The clip was too short to understand what point he was trying to make. But in this short clip he was speaking sloppily--perhaps from a lack of understanding. Unfortunately, anti-vaxxers are using this clip to cause death to others through the propagation of misinformation. Cognitive dissonance for stressful to most people, so they usually reject anything that conflicts with their world view, Do you know any medical professionals? Did they tell you anything about all the people who died from Covid or did they tell you about the grand conspiracy to misattribute COVID deaths? Sure, that is possible, but that is certainly not the case with the covid vaccine or any other others we normally take and that have been used to greatly extend human life by eradicating diseases like smallpox, polio, etc. No surprise you believe MMR Vaccine causes autism. I'll admit, I have no idea what, "..preservatives adjuvants stabilizers by products cell line DNA sequence module" even mean. Obfuscation is also a tactic of a weak argument. Do you even believe that Polio was even a problem? It killed and parlayed thousands of American in 1952 alone You can talk to people who are alive now, like me, who know people crippled by polio (@aka Contrarian would remember this period). LOL, Phuleese, I think you are projecting. I'm not taking this, in the least bit, personally. I'm learning a lot. Besides, you are conflating gene therapy with covid MRNA vaccines what do you know about "Scientific Objectivity?" Holy Cow! I'm at a loss... I have no idea how to respond, as I've never encountered, in real life, anything so crazy. Is this candid camera? Are you pulling my leg, yanking chain, or trying to wind me up? I know and have spoken with a few people who refused to take the vaccine a couple of them got covid multiple times and got really sick. God only knows how many others they infected who got sick or died. One person I know has long covid and wish they took the vaccine. Of those I know who died I don't know what their position was on taking the vaccine... Personally, I took the vaccine a few times, and I never got covid. But I've never had the flu either. I also know a couple of people who still wear masks in public. I think those who wore masks while walking alone outside or alone in driving in a car may have been taking things to the other extreme. 😊

@Tesa I know what you mean. My Google smart speakers now use AI and they are much more useful. But they will often ask follow-up questions or probe for more detail; they are just trolling for more training data by getting you to engage more.
