You underestimate gizoogle.net. It's not prewritten, it can gizoogle any page. No AI involved, btw.

Until observed, they will exist in a superposition of Elon and Eloff.

Other way round, surely?

About 20 years ago, I was walking through a city centre with a friend, on the way to catch a train. A couple of Mormons tried to stop us, asking, "Have you ever thought about the purpose of life?"

Barely breaking stride, I shouted out, "Hot sweaty man sex!"

I don't consider that to be the purpose of life^1^, but remembering the look on their faces helps keep me grounded whenever I'm inclined to consider questions that cannot be answered.

That said, my resolution to the conflict between free will and determinism is to assume assume that 'truth' operates on a principle of equivalence. That's to say, if two models generate the equivalent outcomes, they are equivalently 'true'. The universe we observe could have deterministic rules that give rise to the same observable outcomes as one in which we have absolute free will, in which case the two models are equivalent. It would make no sense to endow one with a greater truth than the other.

That's a slightly difference definition of 'truth' than is commonly accepted, but it works for me.

^1^: It's just a nice bonus.

A man like ~~Ringo~~ Elon got a great empty hole right through the middle of him. He can never kill enough or steal enough or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

This is so insulting... to anyone with a knob. I don't want a JD Vance in my pants, neither literally nor metaphorically.

Because the intelligence sharing network would instantly gain the nickname 'Speccy'.

He didn't have the same experience. He was born with +20 charisma and wisdom, and intrinsic spellcasting. It's no more a real experience than Elon playing Diablo.

Obligatory 'yo momma'.

1984: Freedom is the freedom to say 2 + 2 = 4.

2024: Freedom is the freedom to say, "Notice me senpai!" to an orange haemorrhoid.

 

One of the UK's most under-rated songwriters, in my opinion. RIP, enjoy the Death Trip
