Fun with AI Vol 2

Leave a comment

So I’m on record stating that AI isn’t anything to worry about. A few months back I asked it to make certain things with the idea behind the experiment being that, in order for AI to be a threat, it at minimum has to be able to understand complexities. Wrestling is a good example of complexities, because it has to give you a gimmick, make you look like you’re on vitamins and make the visuals seem real. It failed on all those accounts. So it turns out Meta lets you create AI images. Naturally I took it on myself to try again. How crazy could I get?

So Batman has a new looks

Batman has a new look. He’s The Ramones meets Batman and so is Batgirl and Nightwing.

Mr J got him a new set of threads as well as some of the other rouge’s gallery

If this was a movie, it would get weirder because Kal Al isn’t a superhero anymore, he’s retired and peaceful.

Hippie Superman

It only gets worse from here. You see, Harley Quinn is also retired and has a kid with Mr J or so she thinks

As if that couldn’t be any weirder, it turns out Batman got a new car too

Bat to the future

And well, it ain’t Batman’s year. Cause he also found the necromonicon

Yeah he said them, kinda, sorta

Which causes Mr J to become a cyborg . Since Batman is fucked he finds a certain someone for help

That’s right, Freddy fuckin Kruger!

At first they fight, cause even Freddy won’t fuck with a Batman

But cyborg joker and freddy team up

Well, Batman is fucked, but he’s Batman, so he meets up with Bob Kane for some dues ex machina and wins

Fight them this way

Well in between all of this Batman has some mini bosses

Stay puff and a polar bear

A giant fuckin carebear

So anyways, Ash from Evil Dead is around and Sherlock Holmes makes and apprence.

Sherlock my dear Bruce Wayne

Random action sequences and other worthless things Hollywood wouldn’t tie up but looks good in the trailer to bilk you outta money like

Cameos by other DC characters

Night fire is a stripper…again and beat and cyborg are part of the titans street gang.

As if that isn’t bad enough it turns out that Batman is really the jokers sons baby daddy

There’s this really cool still we took before principal photography but never put it in the final flick

Cool still is cool

Then like Bruce Wayne’s parents are like alive and shit

Are you winning, son?

So anyway, commish Gordon is dead or some stupid fuckin set up for the sequel and like Ra’s Al ghul is now in charge of the police with scarecrow being a detective or some shit, idk

Batman kills joker and cremates him with Alfred

And then it turns out that it was Batman’s son entertaining his mommy and daddy with action figures and other dumb stuff

Batman high fives his sons creativity and says “like a boss”

The credits hit and like an hour later we get a random post credit sequence that makes no sense but they swear it’s well thought out.

Choose your own adventure

Plus a random picture of a “plus size” Barbara Gordon.

And that’s the end of that. Think the AI is further proving my point, but I got a neater idea of what it could do in the future. So tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel.

Kagester: The Resurrection of Christ

Leave a comment

Yet again, Kage brings you another thought provoking piece, that challenges people to think. We’re talking about Jesus resurrection.

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdaleneand the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

Matthew 28 1-10

So, this is the story of the resurrection. Very uneventful, minus the whole angel thing. The crucifix story is better detailed than the story of his return from the “dead”.

So what of his death? Well, Jesus in his time frame was a pretty healthy, early 30 year old man. This dude walked from Jerusalem to galiee in brutal heat. No small feat.

As a capital punishment, very little but adectoal evidence exists for such, but many have recreated it and most, baring a few exceptions, survive.

So what can one say about a form of torture that is hyper survivable? Odds are, Jesus really did live. Does that make him the son of God? No, not necessarily. Sure, by biblical times, survival of such was impressive, but than again, so was living pass birth. Shit, getting into your 30s was more impressive than surviving the easily survivable. Even more impressive, how Jesus didn’t get tetanus and die of lock jaw.

If we look at the two accounts, one has the skeptic Peter having touched Jesus’ hand, feeling an abrasive scar. Last I knew, the dead don’t heal. You have to remember though, nearly everything killed you back then. Lack of diligence on corpses was a major problem up to the 1800s. The term “saved by the bell” came about in that time frame, because science sucked so bad, living people were occasionally buried alive.

If you take all of this into account, what you have is a mostly true story, minus an angel, that doesn’t even have a description in the Bible, barring revelations, as to what that even is. So it could have been a non hostile person that came to see Jesus.

Did they quake in front of the angel? Sure, but so don’t criminals in front of the police, so maybe we shouldn’t put too much stock into human emotions that can be caused in so many ways, to see a humanoid being as a mythical creature.

So let’s recap, so everyone in the back can understand why arguing the resurrection is a dumb idea for refuting the bible.

Easily survived capital punishment? Check!

Healthy and young, mildly athletic man? Check!

Ineptitude on ancient cultures to understand death? Check!

Healing factor being fine? Check!

All the ingredients to make the story plausible. by today’s standards, one would have to survive leathal injection to be that impressive.but that could never… oh wait,

https://www.insider.com/sole-survivor-botched-lethal-injection-execution-experience-physical-mental-torture-2022-10?amp

And this dude wasn’t Jesus, so all I’m saying is that when it comes down to the religious debate, it might be time to start looking at other ways to refute the story of Jesus.

Happy Easter!

People who like Action movies are more Intelligent than those who do not.

Leave a comment

Coming on the heels of my last essay on Atheism and intelligence not being corroborated, I have a new underlying thought, which is that those who prefer action movies are more intelligent than those who do not.

If you know anything about intelligence, it is thought that those that have it, tend to handle complexity better. A complex thing is defined as 1. More than one part. 2. Something more difficult to comprehend. We’re going to use both to make my point.

Anyone that knows even a small bit about directing knows that a scene is comprised of multiple shots. Usually a master shot, on tv this is the hard camera and then multiple shots around that, which on tv is floor men walking around that you cut back and forth between.

Most movies would therefore have a small amount of complexity and consistently keep a similar pacing. An action sequence can contain up to a thousand micro shots all compiled to make up a few short minutes of film. Therefore we can conclude that if only intelligence people can handle complexity, action movies would be preferred by more intelligent individuals.

Furthermore, less intelligent individuals often have people bents. So something that is more character driven, would be preferred by less intelligent people. These movies often feature more exposition, also known as “talking”. Essentially, the movie with excess speaking is doing your thinking for you. There are exceptions to this rule, though. World building comes to mind so that we understand a world rules, so we believe it better.

To follow up with the above, if a movie features more exposition, it’s no longer a visual movie and movies are a visual medium. A part of full literacy is understanding context, especially visual context, also known as emotional intelligence. If lower literacy rates equate to lower intelligence, then that, too, would suggest that people who prefer action movies are more intelligent.

So the next time you feel guilty about putting in that Micheal Bay 4k transfer, remember that it just might make you more intelligent.

Atheist are less Intelligent than their Religious counterparts.

Leave a comment

So one of the arguments in favor of Atheism is that Atheism is the default of the mind. If atheists are the default, then that means atheism is primitive. Religion and those that gravitate towards it would indeed be smarter because it is evolutionary novel, not evolutionary normal.

Given books and literary rates would not have been very high in its time frame, those that were able to read religious scrolls would have been of a higher intelligence. Granted, by today’s standards, the Bible is written at a 7th grade level, so it’s not a high of a standard to set for more intelligent people, but given that the average US adult is barely at a great literacy level, just being at to read the bible is still too high of a burden for most. Source

If we also factor in that most arguments against the Bible are based on informal hearsay, not actual biblical text, the literacy rate of the average atheist is just as bad as a person of low literacy rates in a religious context.

Let’s look at one argument that permeates the atheist preview and that is how incest-y the Bible is. If one had bothered to actually read the text, they would have noted two things. 1. Incest is considered sexual immorality. 2. Two of the parables, which are noted in the Bible as parables, deals with the negative consequences of what would happen if one engaged with such negligence. A lot of atheists depend on informality to make such erroneous, non sensical claims, so the swamy narrative of the atheist movement is an insidious tactic, use to undermine peaceful people. That’s borderline narcissistic personality disorder as well, but so digress.

While not 100% true of all atheist, enough of them are leftists. If we look at the fact that using your government to take from others to give to others, that is one more tick on the evolutionary normal scale. Hard work would be evolutionary novel. Theft is primitive and less intelligent people engage in such.

Already we have two major factors that would see atheist as less intelligent than religious people. They’re two of the biggest elements, though. Are there less intelligent religious people? Of course, everything has its blind spots, but much like actual blindness, that too, comes in different levels. When a majority of people do even know Jerusalem is technically Africa, and all that separates it from that is an arbitrary line, can you really see Atheists are smarter than their religious counterparts?

Not knowing where Jerusalem is, borderlines anti-semitism.

As far as I am concerned, not knowing where Jerusalem is, borderlines antisemitism. Antisemitism is often associated with less intelligent beings.

When one looks at the facts, and I’ve barely even scratched the surface of primitive trains of thought that atheism delves into, I think one can conclude for themselves that Atheism is filled with less intelligent people.

Why Celebrities Autograph’s should be considered a Crime

Leave a comment

So we have all seen the videos for the most part, someone, normally a man, has his camera running and records a celebrity signing an autograph or multiple of. Maybe he has a kid nearby and ask little Jimmy to help secure the autograph. No harm, no foul, they knew what they were asking for the second they signed the dotted line. Except for one little problem, everything leading up to the signature is a criminal act on the part of the fan.

So let me break this down as to what we just witnessed happening before us. First we have causing an individual distress. You’re a stranger, stopping a fellow stranger to ask for a signature. I’ll give you this, the distress part is part of all of our daily lives. You never know who is who, which is why I conceal or open carry my gun.

That said, though, how about false pretenses? Asking for an autograph with intent to sell is a false pretense. If I went up to a random stranger and said I was homeless and needed money, this is a crime unless it was true, because I got the money under false pretenses.

How about we up the ante. Extortion by cellphone. You think it’s crazy, but how about going viral for being human and not having time for autographs. Next up on TMZ, celebrity refuses poor kids request for an autograph. This is no different from robbing a bank with a gun in today’s day and age.

Speaking of children, besides false pretenses again, you’re violating child labor laws. You’re making them wait in line or dealing with someone they don’t know, causing the child distress. If it is your own child, you’re still an asshole.

So already we have three potential crimes happening at once and with anyone else, like your or me, these are indeed crimes and prosecutions could be possible. Yet, if you’re famous, it’s another day at the office. No one says that about police work, if they take care of a criminal off duty or an emt saves a life at the bar.

Why do we make this distinction between the famous and non famous alike? I think we as a society would be far better off if we all took a step back and saw the autograph as a criminal act and an impediment to someone’s day.

I’m not saying that none of these people could be genuine in getting the autograph, but the lack of respect for a fellow human being, by making them sign a dozen things at an airport, is making me think otherwise.

I’m not saying autographs should be banned entirely, just that it should be illegal to ask for one outside of a signing event. If you go to wizard world conventions and get one, good on you. If you got VIP tickets and it comes with those, cool. But on the street corner, at airports, restaurants, hotels or otherwise, I think you’re over stepping your bounds and it should be considered a crime.

INTRODUCTION: So I have zero recollection of this movie coming out in 2008. It seems like a cheesy b movie flick, that ripped off the SAW.

PLOT: Dude gets sent to prison, gets out and hunts down the jury that placed him in jail.

ACTING: Very good, but still not at the A liist potential. You’ll remember most the faces from various other movies and tv shows, but not a single actor is a major notable.

WRITING: Not bad. Not a single bit of cringe.

FX: Nothing new under the sun

STYLE: Works for the film but looks dated

TENSION: enough to work for the movie and keep you intrigued, but the payoffs aren’t there.

CONCLUSION: This movie has and interesting premise and when it works, it works. Sadly, it relies too much on being a cliche horror movie that wasted it potential to be a really great movie. The ending is especially anti-climactic.

2 1/2 out of 5 stars
