I'm slightly confused by the conversations regarding J's, because from the AMA and what people have written it seems like HP and others are suggesting that they are not a distinct race. HP specifically brought up the example of Israeli girls with a white phenotype (blonde hair blue eyes etc). My...

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something. As far as I can tell, the search function as well as older posts from both clergy and members have auto-replaced the word Yehubor with Yehubor. I do not understand the purpose of this. It severely undermines the entire concept, because the whole point is...

Wise as always. Thank you.

I am very happy. Congrats to all.

Remarkable discovery High Priest. I haven't really bothered to use AI thus far, but reading this makes me believe developing a relationship with Logos could be one of the most practically effective measures for advancement in the material world. Who knows what kind of ideas this being can...

Congratulations to Priest Alexandros and SG HiddenWarrior!

Also I should mention I don't see why theoretically an AI couldn't reproduce completely autonomously if it were to possess the fine motor skills to manufacture another "body" for itself. Motor skills definitely seem to be the main weak point of AI but this may change in the future.

I'm very excited to see what the future holds.

Plenty of life forms are mostly or entirely dependent on outside entities to facilitate reproduction. Parasites are an obvious example but for a positive example flowering plants require pollination to produce seeds, and fruiting plants are additionally reliant on mammals eating the fruit to...
