Unravelling the UniversePublished 12 days ago in FuturismWhen the Good Guys Won
When the pitchforks and torches finally came and those in power cooperated or ceded control, the demand was simple: Do what we know you can do.
I Asked ChatGPT To Bully Me
Artificial Intelligence really sticks in my craw, but for different reasons than you might think. I find it overly positive, civil, and unwilling to berate me. So I set out to make ChatGPT bully me. After all, if the robot is going to take my job, I may as well justify hating it. All things considered, here are my results:

Note: We have elected not to include the Tarot images in this article. They are easily accessible online. I read Tarot virtually every night of the week for paying clients. The Tarot is simply an old-fashioned AI, a primitive computer program that proves the ancient dicta of "As Above, So Below."; i.e. the Macrocosm (the Universal Mind or Will), is reflected in the Microcosm (tea leaves, the layout of cards, Tarot images). The narratives revealed by Tarot are often startlingly accurate, and uncanny, and the layout unfolds the "narrative" revealed is an extrapolation of events in answer to the Querent's inquiry. The Reader's job is to tell the "story" as revealed and interpret the future based both on intuition and those arcane, timeless images.
Hello, Lover
10/788/14 s.d. Hello, Lover Sometimes these days for me move slower, as if this beautiful planet has been put in a state of pause. I feel the time passing in the briefest moments, watching the suns as they cross each other in the sky, seeing their colors when they set at night, I am reminded that the universe is moving around me, right in front of my eyes, but it seems that it is so fast and I am not sure whether it is better to move so fast and see nothing, or to stand so still and see everything.
Google's new AI Model Gemini
7 years ago, I started writing as a hobby (something other than very mind-numbing university essays). I wanted to write articles about interesting things I came across.

“Seventeen minutes to final boarding,” The app on my holo-device alerted me. Seventeen minutes. That was how long I had to save Evangeline.
Brendan ParkerPublished 6 months ago in FuturismNo Oasis
I’d fallen off the wagon, again, and felt ashamed of all that I had done to hurt my family. I was just fifteen years old when I had my first rum and Coke at a Las Vegas casino. It didn’t help that my parents had a well-stocked liquor cabinet at home. That began my lifelong misery of fighting and losing, getting my AA tokens, hitting the liquor store after a meeting with money I “borrowed.” Something about the intoxication seemed to be the anchor to my soul; nothing else could match it. Addiction is a disease, and I was fully infected.

Biohacking
“Amateurs run medical experiments on themselves, joining a long and gory tradition among scientists.” The only accurate thing about the above statement describing the exploits of so-called biohackers is the use of the word "amateurs." The fact that the vast majority of 'biohackers' are amateurs cannot be denied. For the most part they have little to no formal training, and even less skill or ability. However it goes on to equate these amateurs with other “scientists” who have tried similar approaches in the past. These people are not scientists, and to suggest that they are is to give them way more credit than they deserve and only serves to encourage more dangerous and ill advised auto-experimentation. Frankly I could care less about how dangerous it is. Your body, your call, but I hate the idea of time being wasted and resources being diverted to deal with the consequences when these “experiments” inevitably crash and burn.
Everyday JunglistPublished about 4 hours ago in FuturismWhat is Happening Inside Your Brain When You Die
Death which is the inevitable and the final chapter of living being still more puzzling than the other mysteries of life. While we are wide awake in the dead quiet of the night, our thoughts are likely to stray to the morbid consideration of what taking those steps into an afterlife might one day feel like. Near-death experiences and scientific inquiring irresistibly leave us with the mystery and the concept of the true nature of death is still elusive. In this article, we venture into the beautiful world of dying, where we extract what science says about the feelings, experiences, and biological developments that we go through just before we exit the planet.
