During Jaynes’ times Homer's authorship of the Iliad and the Odyssey was taken as true, but contemporary scholarship understands they were composed independently, as part of long oral traditions. Jaynes’s argument on consciousness is then flawed, because minstrels performed- not wrote the myths.
I wonder what it's like in the part of the multiverse where Jodorowsky's Dune was made? I bet it's nice. archive.org/details/jodo...
#trump ‘s oil grab in #Venezuela is probably worthless, and seems more like a PR stunt than a good deal. The very heavy oil deposits in Orinoco Belt are worthless. Here’s a @deutschewelle.dw.com video on why. youtu.be/s1WhiTummEo?...

If #AI cant 1. design a miniature personal 3D printed tokamak to power my life, 2. unify the Standard Model, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics, 3. eliminate world hunger and homelessness and end poverty and war, then I don’t think AI is worth it. That’s my bar for AI to be useful to humanity

the only way to fight open weight models is with open weight models. i call on @openai.com and @anthropic.com to open Sol and Fable. it’s the only way to win. techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/o...
The Left isn't threatening anybody, it's the fascists that sided with a rapist and friend of a pedophile, it's the fascists that murder American citizens in the street, that are the real threat. Shame on every last one of you. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
@futurism.com Is everybody a moron now? Son is an honorific, like saying Mr., that is, Masayoshi Son is Mr. Masayoshi. Son is not his last name. Are your writers stupid or are your editors stupid? futurism.com/future-socie...
