  • I ask a question, they give me the wrong answer. I tell them they gave me the wrong answer. They apologize, and then repeat the same mistake in the next answer. Or they give me a different wrong answer. I eventually give up and solve it with a web search.

    I don’t know if my questions are about really obscure stuff or what, but it’s really annoying. Like, I know that they’re only predicting tokens, but how hard is it to program them to go “Okay, we’ve already established that this pattern of tokens is wrong, so I’m not going to include it in the next answer”.



  • True enough, but even still I don’t see that “gnostic atheism” is obviously the opposite of “agnostic atheism”.

    They aren’t, but that wasn’t the claim. Here’s what you said:

    Gnostic and agnostic are not opposites!

    The article you linked explains how they’re opposites. Gnostic and agnostic are opposites, just like theism and atheism are opposites.



  • Oh, I see. “Gnostic” has more than one meaning. It can mean “A believer in Gnosticism”, but it can also mean “Of, relating to, or possessing intellectual or spiritual knowledge.” I’m using the American Heritage Dictionary, but you can find similar definitions in other dictionaries.

    In this case, I’m sure that most people can figure out that a gnostic atheist isn’t an atheist who believes in Gnosticism.





  • I was at a funeral where the preacher was doing that! “If she were here now, she would tell you to make sure that you get your life right with Jesus.” Um, no, she fucking wouldn’t! Her fiance was sitting in front of me, and I thought I could see smoke coming out of his ears.

    It was her family’s funeral, though, and apparently they were Christians.

    They found Russian agents working through social media to widen rifts in the US electorate, specifically on the vaccine debate. They had agents playing both sides: pro-vax and anti-vax.

    Who knows how many entities are doing this right now? On which topics? On which social networks?

    So, yes, fake atheists being assholes, but also fake Christians being assholes. You are always being manipulated. There is never a time you are not being manipulated.
