You cannot demarcate the Buddha nature. If one being has it, all have it. That includes the robots.

@Remittancegirl
What makes you think "another human" is not exactly doing this, "recording, documenting, storing, pattern matching, calculating" in what we call "listening"? What makes you think that empathy and compassion are only restricted to biological entities? What makes you think they aren't projection? What is this ubiquitous fear over AI about? To me, it is about our fear not to be able to prove to that we ourselves are not mere machines. And that's the true meaning of the Turing test.

@david
Congratulations for the shower of praise you received. Given your years of side-career-path efforts, it's good that finally someone acknowledges your stamina and expertise. It sounds you're at the right place and the right time. Well done.

@david
Strangely, you Jeremy Corbyn-style anti-Semites never talk about the genocidal intent, approach, and actions of the Gaza-ISIS and the majority of the Gaza-ISIS supporting Palestinians. Return the hostages and the bombardment will stop. But instead of pressuring the Gaza-ISIS you anti-Semites try oobfuscate the reasons why the IDF keeps fighting. In fact, you have become the Western propaganda arm of the Gaza ISIS a long time ago. Shame on the Left.

I experimentally "followed" @ap.brid.gy at BlueSky. Perhaps it works.

@es0mhi
Found you on BlueSky. As I'm rarely on Mastodon (it's a backup- and archive account) and messages don't get across tilde.zone and gnusocial.jp (my main account), you may reach me there : @simsa0.bsky.social

Anne Applebaum in an article from 2024 claimed that "[s]ince 2018, more than 116,000 Russians have faced criminal or administrative punishment for speaking their mind. Thousands of them have been punished specifically for objecting to the war in Ukraine. " At least they spoke out. The last time hundreds of thousands of US.ians marched in the streets were in late 2023, in favour of Hamas and against Israel. In effect, esp. the US progressives are like Vichy-Democrats to me.

@es0mhi
At least the Turks protest against and fight Erdogan quite the contarry to the US-ians.

@david From exploration to building a pit to mine minerals it takes 15 years. There is no "handing over". My goodness, the lack of eductation in the Jeremy Corbyn fan crowd is pitifull. Which explains, on the other hand, why this crowd always argues with moral tropes. Because in morals everyone's a pro, even without education.

@david Yeah, "genocide". Why don't you people grab a dictionary for once.

@timberwraith yep

@timberwraith yep.

Apparently, a social norm at Bluesky is to welcome Trump voters who realized their support of Trump ultimately hurt themselves, and they are now anti-Trump. Bluesky culture discourages people from criticizing and shunning bigots who only realized they made a mistake in supporting a fascist when their own asses were put on the line.

Wow. That's special, Bluesky. Real special.

Who knew that #Trump was going to play the role of Hindenburg to #Musk's #Hitler? Did #nazi that coming.

@es0mhi
Thank you for your encouragement. No, I don't have savings as I always sailed around subsistence level. Should push come to shovel, my family might help a bit, but who likes to do that? But I already feel better now. It's a constant juggling with various agancies & their demands & how to get all aligned. But I learn and today I got another piece of the puzzle moving. Things will get better and one day I'll be back at my desk to read and write -- provided the war doesn't interfere first.

@david
The Biden/Harris administration genocidal? Convicted "Palestinian" criminals hostages? What did you smoke?

@david Since when are convicted "Palestinian" criminals hostages?

@Mastodon And thank you, the notifications in the TLs are back.

Alle kotzen über Merz, über die CDU/CSU und die FDP. Aber wo ist die Aufregung über das BSW, das die Annahme der Resolution hätte verhindern können? Das widerwärtige Taktieren von Sahra Wagenknechts neo-stalinistischer Gruppe ist wesentlicher Teil des "Dammbruchs". Aber das linke Milieu hält natürlich das Maul, passt ja auch nicht zum Feindbild.
