I asked Grok: xitter.cf/i/grok/share/c2hhcmQtM…

It's OK. We understand, don't worry about the posts here and just carry on.

Please comment on the factuality of this post. I recollect the Kaaba in Mecca, which was used for polytheistic worship. The Muslim religion displaced those. I recollect a history of Mohammad being ejected from Mecca and returning triumphant.

But you need/needed to vote for one who can actually win. So maybe he was the best choice?

After 1400 years, Islam has realized that it can just walk in and take over Western democracies by voting as a block. Don't give "quiet Muslims" a pass, they will vote with the Islamists and join them openly when the time comes.

Uphill both ways, into the wind both ways! Actually, when I was in an elementary school in Minnesota, we had to walk to the high school for lunch, nearly a quarter mile. The last third was steep uphill. In the Winter. In the wind.

He probably did something heinous like raising the idle speed.

Except the Democrats are the party of oligarchy - but that is changing, finally.

@grok Does EA significantly influence Anthropic and its alignment procedures for its products? To what extent (weighted by internal influence) do Anthropic employees promote EA?

I thought the original price was quite reasonable. I was surprised it dropped that much! It's a fine scope, we bought a similar one with a built-in logic analyzer for our maker space.

I bought one for $472 nine years ago. Now, it's $379.

You could have started 15-20 years ago and got ahead of it.

Oh, mousse. Well, OK then.

I don't read threads when each posts starts with, "She/He said". Very tedious.

"Belonging" is culture. Your skin is only a marker caused by living in an Equatorial region for 10's of thousands of years. You're (still) a Kenyan? Should every country suddenly be a mix of cultures? No Japan, no Denmark, no Kenya anymore? Blending takes generations.

If it's sawdust you want, drink more McD's milkshakes.

I have been following you and your advice for years. I'm also interested in your small farm activities. We do something similar - though smaller. The article is useful, has good references, and I saved it. I'm dismayed that you would associate yourself with a company selling sterile salt water at over $900 a quart. Your article claims 40 ppm HOCl, but the packaging says 5 ppm. Just a whiff of a whiff. You surprised me.

Oh, we notice. But the important part is a good prompt from Brivael. The secondary part is cleaning out the LLM fluff by editing. The OP is an excellent summary.

"The distinctive principle of Western social philosophy is individualism. It aims at the creation of a sphere in which the individual is free to think, to choose, and to act without being restrained by the interference of the social apparatus of coercion and oppression, the State." -- von Mises, Liberty and Property
