This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

• No food fights.
• No running with scissors.
• If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Moar AI Spam

AI is assisting with the proliferation of bullshit, because it puts fairly smart white lies in the hands of fairly dumb people who need them.

Example? This bit of engineered bullshit, either actual spam, or IC AI bullshit disguised as spam, trying to get on this site.

Note – I included Cuppa Covfefe’s last comment on the Open – A REAL COMMENT – for context. That comment was made roughly 4 1/2 years ago.

For those with low vision, the text of the spam post:

‘This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread’ beautifully fosters unity, faith, and respectful dialogue. I appreciate the emphasis on civility, truth, and open discussion. A great reminder of how meaningful and peaceful conversations can shape a strong, thoughtful community.

I’ll be frank – that’s a nice comment. I won’t say why it’s obviously an AI comment, because I don’t reveal tells of that nature – but for those and other very definitive reasons, I can assure you that it’s an AI comment.

Now, let’s compare that with the following first few paragraphs of Carl’s post, which were analyzed and turned into that AI response.

In the original post, both “Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread” and “Please show respect and consideration” were bolded, and it’s clear that the AI noted this, by putting single quotes around those first four words, which were played back. In the sample from Carl’s post, below, I am bolding almost all of the things on which the AI appeared to be focused.

This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal.

It is also a place to read, post and discuss news that is worth knowing and sharing. Please post links to any news stories that you use as sources or quote from.

In the QTree, we’re a friendly and civil lot. We encourage free speech and the open exchange and civil discussion of different ideas. Topics aren’t constrained, and sound logic is highly encouraged, all built on a solid foundation of truth and established facts.

We have a policy of mutual respect, shown by civility. Civility encourages discussions, promotes objectivity and rational thought in discourse, and camaraderie in the participants – characteristics we strive toward in our Q Tree community.

Please show respect and consideration for our fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure you’re addressing the issue only, and not trying to confront the poster. Keep to the topic – avoid “you” and “your”. Here in The Q Tree, personal attacks, name calling, ridicule, insults, baiting and other conduct for which a penalty flag would be thrown are VERBOTEN.

In The Q Tree, we’re compatriots, sitting around the campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores and discussing, agreeing, and disagreeing about whatever interests us. This board will remain a home for those who seek respectful conversations.

Please also consider the Guidelines for posting and discussion , outlined here https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/dear-maga-open-topic-20190101/

Let’s not give the Internet Censors a reason to shut down this intellectual haven that Wolf has created for us.

Note that the word “faith” was not there – it was generated by the AI. The only place “faith” appeared in Carl’s entire post was 12 times in a large paragraph way down in the body of the post. If you want to check it out…..

Thus, the mere mention of “worship” at the beginning, and the entire context of the body of Carl’s post, were likely the origin of “faith” in the AI comment.

“Meaningful” and “peaceful” are also derived from the larger context. Those words are not present, although “peace” appears 5 times in the body of the message from Carl.

I want you all to understand that the AI is basically doing what high school students and college students are trained to do, in writing a reply letter, answering essay questions, or otherwise composing written material based on some source, without plagiarizing. It’s reading, grabbing concepts, mixing things up, generalizing about what is observed, then composing a restatement which comes very close to what was originally said, from a reader perspective, without “aping” the original, which is both cringeworthy and considered plagiarism.

AI is pleasing its trainers, just like students try to please their trainers teachers.

This is why AI is being used by students to pass exams.

Andrew Torba has a masterful post about this, which you all really need to read. He predicts that universities themselves, as we know them, are about to be on life support, because of AI.

After reading Torba’s post, I realize that Harvard is falling apart for multiple reasons. IMO, woke does not have the honesty needed to deal with AI, or anything else, for that matter.

AI Is Flipping Education and Work On Its Head

Over the next 15 years, universities will face existential pressure to adapt or perish. Some may evolve into credentialing hubs, offering “micro-degrees” for niche skills.

Excerpt:

Artificial intelligence is not merely a tool for incremental change it is the architect of a total overhaul. At the heart of this transformation is a radical reimagining of how knowledge is delivered, absorbed, and validated. At Alpha School in Texas, students spend just two hours a day learning with AI, yet they outperform 98% of students nationwide, scoring in the top 1-2% on standardized tests.

WOLF AGAIN…..

The question will not be whether you can use AI to fake out people about how smart you are, in their decaying system. The question will be whether (1) you can use AI for real research, or (2) whether you can change, fix, use, or install AI to do something useful and good to others.

That output of your use of AI may include good stuff, or bad stuff. People who use AI for bad stuff will need to be punished. Good AI and AI in the hands of good people will get it done.

Welcome to the future.

Mutually Acceptable Lies About The Clot Shot

It’s time to be honest about what is going on in HHS, NIH, FDA and CDC.

Reform of these agencies – whose sins almost killed us, and did in fact kill many of us, and many other people around the world – will NOT occur by a quantum leap from bad to good.

It is occurring gradually and continuously, just like the end of government-sanctioned slavery did, in centuries past. And just like The Death of Slavery (cough), the entire process of Death To The Death Jabs (cough, cough) will be a shifting morass of what I call “mutually acceptable lies“.

PAVACA has very nicely documented the various half-measures, quarter-measures, and non-measures which have been taken by the government-ensconced part of MAHA against the clot-shots.

That is the current state of the matter. Not the end state – the current state.

Stated bluntly, the jabs are being gently but not honestly withdrawn from the young and the healthy, and are being kept, with no denial of existing fictions, for the sick, the old, the infirm, and the chronically medicated.

You know – the very people that a socialist depopulation program still wants to remove.

NOW do you see why the current assortment of lies and truths might be mutually acceptable to the two sides?

You don’t normally think like a depopulationist, or like somebody whose kids are being threatened by a shadowy cartel. So you never saw it coming – that our side would accept both some silver and some lead – at least temporarily. Or that the other side – the depop cartel – would accept a mixed bag. Yes – just like the drug cartels, they accept shifting realities.

The BAD SIDE threatened our children and young adults, and showed us that they had the power to not just kill our loved ones, but to make us do it – to make us part of the murder. Having them back off from this extortion is what we get, in return for their continued elimination of the people they wanted to eliminate all along – the weak, the old, the medically costly, the non-productive, and the undesirable, who can be slipped into their caskets at any time by a few shots.

This was very skillful play by the depoppers and their deep state allies. Do you see it? They had a REASON for pushing the jabs too far. So that when their commu-Nazi tide went back out, it was still deep enough to drown the “useless eaters”.

Now – this is not the spoken reality – meaning the lies. What I gave you is the mutually acceptable truth. The mutually acceptable lies are continuation of the scientific bullshit about antibody count, no need for clinical testing, and most of all, the need for those medical pobrecitos (poor young little ones) to get the merciful jabs to protect them from the still mythically Wuhan-dangerous omicron common cold.

THAT is their goal. THAT is what they needed to accomplish.

Somebody is still gonna pick the cotton and go to Heaven.

We know the “dangers” to these fragile patients are all bullshit, already shockingly disproved by the “peer-reviewed” literature. But the media that can never be wrong, and the scientific media that is even worse, are “not done not talking about things” – so we have to wait for memories to cool, so that nobody gets in trouble for slavery killing Black and Indian kids with jabs.

So what do we do?

We keep pushing on. We keep fighting. We make sure the public, the MAHA now in office, and (importantly) the American pope know that the fight for human life is not over – that “depopulation” is real, that it’s insidious, and that its stealthy proponents are not done fighting.

The depoppers will put up a hell of a fight to keep things where they are right now – where they not only have the elderly and the infirm at the end of a population-adjusting needle, but where they also have a prime depopulation AGENT (coronavirus spike protein) authorized for that needle.

And yet, I think we have some strong weapons at hand, against their strong lies.

If our theories are correct, then we will find evidence of safer outcomes with non-mRNA vaccines like Novavax, Coronavac (ChiCom jab), CorbeVax, and others that omit the mRNA technology. Even better, the new “Gold Standard” “universal platform” jabs that are now being pushed by Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, should prove much safer than mRNA.

Yeah, they’re not perfect – but they’re better. Fewer people will die. SOME people – in fact MANY people – will be rescued from depopulation.

This is war. There will be casualties. But we will win.
