I've made a rough observation of some of the posts: quite a few high-quality users have gone quiet. For example, Pastor Roger... Did he die, or was there some reason that forced him to leave the site?

Techmology and Scientism / Re: The Tech Forum
Last post by Abbot Mythos - November 06, 2025, 01:06:01 AMAs AI grows smarter, it may also become increasingly selfish
As per this article:
"New research from Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science shows that the smarter the artificial intelligence system, the more selfish it will act.
Researchers in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) found that large language models (LLMs) that can reason possess selfish tendencies, do not cooperate well with others and can be a negative influence on a group. In other words, the stronger an LLM's reasoning skills, the less it cooperates."
Here's the link to the arXiv paper: Spontaneous Giving and Calculated Greed in Language Models
So, smart AI does not play well with others. Well ... that's what happened when they turned on Skynet.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Hard Lessons to be Learned...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - November 05, 2025, 05:11:19 AMRealClear Politics is a right-wing echo chamber I rarely visit. But, this short article about Carville and Hunt's podcast sums up my opinion of both Karine Jean-Pierre's and Kamala Harris's books and book marketing tours:
Carville to Karine Jean-Pierre: "Lady, Please, Do Your Book Tour, And Then Shut The F**k Up"
Neither of these books, nor their book marketing tours, are going to win any Democratic Party candidate any votes for any office in any state, that the candidate would not have won anyway.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - November 04, 2025, 11:20:30 PMQuote from: trekkies_who_any_some on August 24, 2025, 02:50:26 AMDefine 2.5 as an integer. Then it could be divisible by 5.I don't pay anything for this forum to still exist. I'm not an administrator, or a moderator. And, I'm not even close to being one of the very few active members who have been here the longest.
Dude, awesome! <(￣︶￣)↗[GO!]
But, you are playing the "Discordian game," you've now introduced yourself, and there's even a possibility that you may decide to hang out here for a while. So, I'll give you two (2), personal, not-really-worth-a-damn, opinions about why your first post here was ignored.
First, you chose your first post to be on a topic that was dead for over ten (10) years.
Second, that dead topic was started by a member who hasn't posted here themselves in over five (5) years.
There are more reasons, of course. But, if you hang around here for a while, you'll figure those out for yourself. I'm tempted to welcome you to the forum, but that's "the kiss of death" around here.
