  • Very interesting. I’ve never had anything paranormal happen to me but I like to believe in it and it’s always fun hearing accounts like these. I imagine it is a bit stressful having nightmares haha.

    I would write them somewhere more public (like a blog) or with witnesses. If something that could never ever be a coincidence and becomes public knowledge happens (like a major disaster), people will doubt you wrote about it before hand. I’m sure proving yourself isn’t something you really care about, but every event that becomes accepted helps others come forward and removes some of the stigma imo.








  • Netanyahu’s move last month to dismiss [Ronen Bar, chief of Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence service] was suspended by the court pending an investigation

    Netanyahu’s bid to oust Bar came as Shin Bet was investigating financial ties between the prime minister’s office and Qatar, a key mediator in the Gaza war.

    The Shin Bet head also said he had refused to sign off on a security request aimed at relieving Netanyahu from testifying at an ongoing corruption trial in which he faces charges of bribery, fraud and breach of public trust.

    Shin Bet also happened to be carrying out an inquiry based on suspicion that the government had ignored warnings in advance of Hamas’s attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, when the armed Palestinian group killed more than 1,100 people and took about 250 captive.




  • Carmack then came to the defense of the demo. He went on to argue that “AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics. Yes, we will get to a world where you can get an interactive game (or novel, or movie) out of a prompt, but there will be far better exemplars of the medium still created by dedicated teams of passionate developers. The world will be vastly wealthier in terms of the content available at any given cost.”

    Carmack acknowledged that AI may lead to fewer jobs for game developers before suggesting “it could go the way of farming, where labor-saving technology allow a tiny fraction of the previous workforce to satisfy everyone.” He went to address anti-AI sentiment by stating that " ‘don’t use power tools because they take people’s jobs’ is not a winning strategy."

    Microsoft put up the demo, buy I haven’t tried it (not available on mobile). https://copilot.microsoft.com/wham?features=labs-wham-enabled . The article mentions it is a bit limited though.
