  • What's the % of US users that use non-Apple non-Android smartphones, like <0.1% still right? I basically just use phone, SMS, browser and youtube on mine so possible I'll switch over when its tried and tested enough. Some tech experience but not enough with phones, specifically to be confident.

  • Wasnt there a documentary on PBS in the 90s about fermat's last theorem where this was a plot point?

  • Harvard dropouts to launch ‘always on’ AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversation

  • Wasnt there someone who hacked their google glasses and was getting everyone's home addresses around him on facial recognition? I would think the risk would be fairly high to people who work with the public from these folks

    Ah, so not just from raw pork

  • Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations

  • Unsurprising to me this is happening in schools, they've got to be ready for the low wage retail jobs many will have after graduation. A lot of places have been upgrading their phones to Zoom-enabled devices, which have the ability to record and summarize all employee conversations held near them for management or HR. I've worked in a couple places recently where it got rolled out and there were hints they were using it that way.

    Anyone willing to call me paranoid, or supportive of the idea this tech is used this way or will be, please respond, retail isn't really full of many tech savvy people and I'm curious if I'm imagining the capability/use of this, or if others have had similar experiences.

  • To address the passage you mentioned, its Mark 14:64 that mentions blasphemy and that could be (I've heard it explained this way) from Jesus' appropriation of earlier Greek Bacchus/Aphrodite cult practices, with Jesus specifically taking over the role played by Aphrodite.

  • Mark 14:48 has Jesus asking the soldiers why they're attacking him with heavy weaponry as if he were a lēstēs, or human trafficker, the same word is used by Julius Caesar to describe the people who captured and ransomed him, so the general translation of lēstēs as robber or brigand is insufficient, they are human traffickers, often the pederastic type. Caesar also started the tradition of crucifying this particular type of criminal.

  • Unsarcastically, more and more scholars are recognizing that in the Greek original texts of the New Testament, the apostles seem to range in age from newly pubescent (John) up to maybe 18-19 in the case of Peter. To say nothing of the naked child Jesus was caught with in the garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:51-52) - the whole reason they crucified him under laws reserved for child traffickers.

    Important to remember that Jesus spoke Greek and lived in the context of Greco-Roman culture, with the widespread prevalence of pederasty, eunuchs, drug use etc. that came with it.

  • If this happens they should check ID at church too seeing as how children are much more likely to be abused or groomed by someone there.

  • What's the worst food you've ever eaten?

  • My friend must make them less sweet than is standard, it's kind of syrupy but not too bad, maybe a little citrussy and of course that herbal bitterness. I might be an outlier though I've been known to sip straight Mallort.

  • Makes sense with Marx too I guess but Hillman, who has a doctorate in classics and a masters (I think) in one of the biosciences has been pushing for more awareness of the countless references to recreational and sacramental drug use in antiquity for over a decade now. He's not for everybody but he's read ancient Greek for over 3 decades and finds some pretty surprising accounts of it in neglected medical and other texts he continues to translate.

  • DEMS PULL UPSET ON EPSTEIN FILES: Democrats dropped an 11th-hour motion at an unrelated hearing after noticing that most GOP members on the panel had publicly demanded the files be released.

  • It's performative? So it won't actually cause the "subpoena ALL the Jeffrey Epstein files" as the post says? My point is it's just a little hard to see what the vote actually does from the context given, although I don't doubt there will be political fallout from it.
