Me too. And Bigfoot and UFOs. Have never seen any of them. But I have never written a check for a large hairy creature. Maybe small and hairy.

So after everything else, this will be the thing to make the blinders fall off? I don't think so. TBMs are fully invested. All they need is remote plausibility. The old story was stretching plausibility to the breaking point, so it's good that they are changing it.

Since you asked, https://noetic.org/research/global-consciousness-project/ The random number generators used in the project have a balancing circuit that introduces a time delay. The signal that produces the effect must travel backwards in time for it to work. That is backward causation. We don't know how much of our "reality" is caused by backward causation. It would be nice t

They are more like football fans watching the rose bowl, waiting for Armageddon to kick off so that Team Jesus can rule over whatever is left.

The human genome project was expected to put these questions to rest. It didn't, the genome was not as complex as expected. It does not solve the heritability problem. DNA shows the construction of the radio, not the information received by the radio. Epigenetics, a reboot of Lamarckian inheritance, concerns the latter. Susskind's concern that "dumb luck needs an explanation" can

"It smells like something JS could have read to me." I don't think he was that smart. Sidney Rigdon is more likely the primary author of the BoM.

"is there any chance that the astonishing claim..." The fact that they consider the claim astonishing comes off to me as a red flag. It means they need an alternative explanation. I am not surprised with the lack of replication. An observer who does not want the experiment to succeed will poison metaphysical experiments. So, here is where faith and science collide. Those of us

"Yes, this so-called "Agent AI" as distinguished from the "Tool AI," or what might also be called pie-in-the-sky AI, or "Science Fiction AI" or the "God Help Us AI." Other than in movies and books, there is no such thing beyond one's overactive imagination." Which leads to the question, "What is faith?". Does faith have its roots in i

You are still shocked after seeing them believe in angels bearing mystical golden plates, as reported by a pedophile with 30 wives? Grok, tell me what to believe. Grok, tell me what to think. Meet your new prophet. Your AI pal who's fun to be with. Guys are already paying for AI girlfriends. Yup, seriously.

"They made bank selling their homes in CA and can buy much more here" That kind of gentrification is why people are living in their cars, because housing is unaffordable. Of course, urban campers don't usually kill people.

"This is the AI for which we need very strict guardrails on their development and deployment." Who's 'we'? Any fool with a computer? I'm pretty sure AI will be as ubiquitous (and iniquitous) as porn.

Let's see. There was William Law's newspaper, the destruction of the press proving (in the people's minds) that the allegations were true, the tyrannical behavior of a self-declared king, and the rule of fiat afforded by block voting. Looks like death by natural causes to me.
