Epic...A close friend and neighbor shared the following story...She is closely related to an Oscar winning documentary director who was shooting a movie funded by A-list actor..Part of the shoot was to be on a Native American burial ground, which the tribe strongly objected to...see e.g. the movie Jeremiah Johnson...But the A-list actor insisted, after which the tribe laid a curse on the movie maker...All his equipment stopped working and even broke down..Our friend connected him with our local Apache shaman (whom I have met), who reportedly spent weeks of effort releasing the curse....The director was understandably shaken by the whole affair....

Modernity is the search for exemption, in economics, searching for the mythical free lunch, in theology, a wide easy path to heaven.

LLM's are truly oxymoronic, "lets overcom GIGO, by increasing the quantity of garbage in our computational model"

P.S any one else notice AI generated faces have the Bogdanoff look?
