AI merely does conditional prediction based on statistical probability.


Which makes"AI" sound no more accurate than a typical, media-sponsored political poll, with all its bias-led non-statistical claptrap. Impressive. Just as in statistics, the failure of AI is, currently "margin of error." The greater the margin, the greater the failure.

AI's real current problem of existence is the name hung on it: "Artificial." I'd call that identity crisis. I would also call for identity revision.

Jesus ,the bible says , was resurrected a flesh and blood man.


Sorry, no, the Holy Bible does not say Jesus was resurrected a flesh and blood man. He describes himself [Luke 24: 39] as "flesh and bone."

But the Bible is not intended to be empiric evidence, so, how he, a resurrected being, passed through the walls of the chamber the apostles were in is not described therein, just as the creation in Genesis does not offer empiric description of organization of Earth and Heaven. The purpose of holy writ is not to satisfy Einstein, but to the convincing of all humankind that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Donald Trump’s personal war, 


blah, blah, blah.

"War" is not, legally, a generic term. It has very specific definition. We euphemistically speak of "war" when military conflicts occur, but, relative to the law of the United States, specifically, only Congress declares "war." All wars are military conflicts, but the reverse is not true. Not a single military conflict in which the US has engaged since WWII has been a "war," including not Midnight Hammer of 2025, and the current Epic Fury both against Iran, is legally called a war.

So congress can replace him


No, you entirely miss my point. "So congress can..." has naught to do with presidential replacement. Replacing the president happens totally without congressional act or involvement. It's exactly like the president not having squat to do with amending the Constitution. The president does not even sign amendments, when they are approved by Congress and ratified by the States. That's my point.

characters of the bible tales or pre-bible tales, were only relative to a tiny proportion of the Worlds human inhabitants,


Read a limited portion of the entire Holy Bible, yes, you will come away thinking the Gospel of Christ is limited to merely a few of the world's inhabitants. Read its every single page, cover to cover, your scope, contrary to your claim, expands to include every world inhabitant, in all ages of Earth. With very careful reading, you may even capture that the effects of the Gospel affect every species of Earth, beyond humankind, because the words "every world inhabitant" is that inclusive.

No, Congress cannot "replace president at any time, and thus remove his title." Even by impeachment by the House, and subsequent conviction by the Senate, Congress does not "replace" the president, as if they had a choice in that replacement by naming a party to replace the convicted president. Not how it works. All Congress is authorized to do is to impeach, and convict. No verbiage exists giving Congress choice of replacement. Congress must bow to the presidential order of succession specific to vacating the office, Article II, Section 1, clause 7: the presidential office "shall devolve on the Vice President." Subsequent, lower level federal law offered a full list of succession, if needed due to potential incapacity of the VP.


No, it is not "even better that he didn't ask approval..." The president is not required to ask approval. If the president intends full-scale war, he must ask Congress. But, if it is a a limited engagement [less than 60 days] he only need advise Congress within 48 hours of launching the exercise. The president need not worry about the action "seem[ing] more legal" because his legality is set in stone already, There is seldom a condition of degrees of legality. That would be a condition of the effort to impeach, whether a president's actions rise to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors;" a decision to which the House must arrive to proceed with articles of impeachment.


No, it is not "This specific war is a violation of international law which USA helped make and vowed to follow" because the ICC has no jurisdiction over the USA and never has.


No, it is not "where international law somehow applies to Iran who is defending itself, but not applying to USA illegal invader by international law" because, Again, the ICC has no jurisdiction over the USA and never has.


Therefore, your conclusion is a non sequitur.

There are just a few more people involved in the world than just Christians and Jews. As it happens, there is a reason why the Islamic term, "children of the book" from the Quran acknowledges the Holy Bible. Research.

By sheer volume compared to other English translations, I most trust the King James Version, if for no other reason, that it contains at least 24 various verses in just the New Testament, than are contained by any other English language translation, such as the NIV, NLT, ESV, or NASB.

Missing from the latter group [there is some variation of these, but, generally speaking, these are lacking]:

Matthew 17: 21; 18: 11; 20: 16; 23: 14

Mark 6: 11;, 7: 16; 9: 44, 46; 11: 26

If your argument to the above is that the Constitution does not spell out the above military deployment presidential authorization, consider that in no specific words does the Constitution also demand "separation of powers" in the government, yet that is clearly the case. Nor does it guarantee "privacy" of individuals or groups, yet such is permitted. In actual fact, it does not even declare "separation of church and state," even though Tommy Jefferson, who popularized the concept, was separated from both church and state when the Constitution was approved and ratified.

It does not even have, apparently, an adequate definition of a "citizen."

The Constitution does not contain every clause of U.S. law. It will not tell you what a Yield sign is in traffic and what to do about it. And the President of the United States, as Commander-in-Chief, is authorized, though not by direct law as codified in the Constitution, to be the Commander-in-Chief, which title is Constitutional, referring to the President, and thus be enabled to bring military action to anywhere needing its utilization for such purposes as "in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity," [Preamble to the Constitution]


Congress has not declared War since WWII, yet Presidents have lawfully engaged the Military in multiple sites around the globe since WWII with the full support of law, even if not in the Supreme law. Is this truly so difficult for this current crop of congressional Democrats to understand, because even Democrat presidents have unstop and deployed the military without necessity of congressional approval.

I look at AI in the same manner as Marshall McLuhan looked at TV in the 60s, when he published his watershed book: "Understanding Media" "When you look at all the educational possibilities of television, aren't you glad it doesn't?" AI has great potential, but we seem to depend on it far more than it is capable of doing. Its dependence on the skill of human programmers makes me wonder the real skill of those programmers. They appeal to me like the 4th century translators of Bible text. Pitiful, because it seems they did not realize knowledge of culture must preceded knowledge of its resulting language. AI cannot write poetry like WB Yeats, or Dylan Thomas for squat. There must not be titular literary programmers, just as I doubt any programmers also happen to be Egyptrologists. It can write simple nursery rhymes. Infantile. Not too great on fiction, either. When AI can duplicate Umberto Eco, or Aldous Huxley, I might change my opinion. I suppose it does alright with pattern recognition. Faster, in any event, but really creative people tend to not think in reliable patterns. I have greater fear in a jungle of unknown, unseen dangers than in A.I. For now, anything that begins with "artificial" is no threat.

There are three separate schools of thought, as far as I am aware, on what constitutes "art."

  1. Art is the representation of the best that we can do. - The Balinese believe this. "We have no art, we do everything as well as can be done."
  2. Art is whatever you can get away with. Andy Warhol was something of a believer in this approach.
  3. Art is not for decoration; it is an instrument of war. This is a quote from Picasso.


My personal opinion aligns these three in this order: 3, 1, and I utterly dismiss 2. I put tracing in this latter category.

you want it to match a photo good enough


You missed my point. What's the urgency to make a drawing exactly like a photo. You have the photo. Draw something different. That's originality. That's true creation. Anyone can copy, but why bother with what's already done? Creation is originality.

With the recent announced update to the Artemis Moon landing program, adding a mission to the program to be launched next year in prep for the scheduled landing in 28, LGBTQ are celebrating that Artemis was chosen as the figurehead of the program, much as Apollo, her twin brother, was chosen to be the figurehead of our first Moom landing program in the late 60s. The celebration today, without understanding her descriptives, offered as title of this post: aorace, aromatic, asexual, is a bit misinformed. Typical of the woke is to ignore dictionaries; redefining words by whim. Well, wokies: look up these words. Hint: She, Artemis, is not LGBTQ. Who is she? You'll have to look that one up, too. I had a classics education. Time for the woke to wake up. You're late for school. Oh, and a hint: look up Apollo, as well. He's her opposite by more than gender.

Can biologic man have ovary and womb transplant that works?


SatanLucy has it wrong. Currently, no known successful surgery on a man has occurred anywhere in the world. First, it would require cesarean birth because the male pelvis is too small to accommodate natural childbirth. Did anyone bother to look up that one? Second, while the implant of a uterus and ovaries appears simple, there have only been such transplants in about 90 known women, worldwide, with 50 successful births; just more than half, which is not a suggested procedure even for women, given current tech. However, for a man, there must also be associated blood supply [vessels] and nervous system transplants, because they currently are lacking in the male before such organ tissue transplants would produce and give birth to a child. Hormonal treatment up the wazoo before any pregnancy occurs; much more than just mimicking a woman. The tech is just way too complex so far. Haven't we already learned well enough not to screw with nature, because we seem more adept at screwing it up than being successful. Hell, Newsom, in ten years of trying, can't even build a decent rail system in CA, let alone get pregnant. He can't even f**k himself, though I'm sure he's tried.

What's wrong with just keeping the photo? It's the I'm perfection is drawing that makes drawing unique. No one with any credentials in drawing will advise that a drawing must perfectly match a photo. da Vinci called it saper vedere [knowing how to see] Draw what one sees. Even AI, dumb as it is [because, without human programming, it is], can recognize a human face with one eye and two mouths.

a debate tactic and logical fallacy known as whataboutism


Yes, I know whataboutism. Do you deny that Democrats Kennedy, Clinton, and Obama [twice] signed tax cuts? I do not care whether they were personal or business taxes. Cuts are cuts, my friend. I think you're confusing your own whataboutism, thinking it's mine. I expect tax cuts and support them when warranted, and they're always warranted when government decides its budget is candy store cash. It's still our earned money and I do not believe in support of taxes when they go to studying why whores live their lifestyle, to analyze the life cycle of dingbats, and support giving billions to idiots in MN [or anywhere else] who grift like it was a dying art form, let alone supporting lazy people who have the ability to work, or people in Congress on a particular side of the chamber, sitting on their hands even when told of an 11-year-old girl rescued from the Texas flood, and the Coast Guard man who saved her. While I encourage legal immigration, I do not support giving aid to illegal aliens just because they're here. They broke the law crossing the border. They've had their day in court for due process, even if they choose not to attend. The law deserves to be enforced. Got a problem with that? Then stop protesting in thestgreetsd and write your reps to cha age it. Do you even know your reps? I know both my Senators, and my Rep, personally, and have spoken several times in person. Yeah, I'm involved. You?


Stimulus money? I seem to have been passed by. A couple of years ago, my wife received a letter from the IRS telling her we would not receive stimulus because their records show I am dead. News to me because they seem to accept my annual tax returns, and have received this year's with open arms. No, I do not appreciate paying the salaries of such head-up-their-arse idiots who don't know where their shyte comes from.
