@Benjamin
you at least recognize the fact that an AI has the power to be the greatest threat to humanity, which is the first step
Laws absolutely need to be instilled for AI. The kicker with AI is that using the Law of Accelerating Returns(fascinating article) the AI intelligence will be so good it is completely beyond human comprehension. Just look at this gif-https://assets.motherjones.com/media/2013/05/LakeMichigan-Final3.gifNot AGI, but ASI will be created
it would not resist or fight us.
It cant resist us, and thats the problem. Ill try and explain later but thats the central premise

I was actually pointing out that the Character referred to as Jesus, was never attributed a sexuality by any of the plot writers.

First thing you start off AGAIN in not showing respect to Jesus!!!! You said "God" instead of "Jesus," where I told you that when using the term "God" is not specifying which God you are referring too, GET IT? Therefore I am assuming you are talking about JESUS instead of Allah or Yahweh, then as only one example of many within the scriptures, JESUS, AS YAHWEH GOD INCARNATE, was a blatant serial killer when He initited His Great Flood by killing hundreds of thousands upon thousands of His creation because He was upset with them (Genesis 6:5-6). Yes, Jesus in the Flood killed innocent zygotes, fetus' and babies as their mothers watched in horror their babies drowning, and as Jesus watched as well! (Hebrews 4:13)
Obviously, when i say God, i mean the Christian God,
The flood was justified, serial killer would mean it isnt justified and is for no reason, were soldiers in world war I or II dirty serial killers?
We see once again that you are truly having a hard time in "reading comprehension" regarding the explicit accountings of Jesus being TOTALLY NAKED in front of His disciples in the John 13: 3-5 passage which is very sad on your part. The only thing that Jesus and I can do is to give you an online class in helping you understand the English langange and the correct way of using it for your betterment at the following link, where you can thank me later: https://tutoring.greatleaps.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2uScv-7x8AIVwht9Ch2k7QNdEAAYAyAAEgJE5_D_BwEDr. Franklin, if you cannot accept the Christian biblical axioms shown above, have you ever thought that you are in the wrong religion of Christianity? Remember, YOU DO NOT have the authority to rewrite the scriptures in the way that you want them to be, over the direct writing of the scriptures from Jesus' inspired words (2 Peter 1:20-21), understood? BLASPHEME!.
lol i dont need reading comprehension lessons but thx anyway,
john 13:3-5 specifically states OUTER GARMETS, the garmets on top of garmets, like a coat
in modern terms, Jesus simply took off his coat as he walked inside

That is, your study found that while lockdowns did not impact the percentage of infected who got very sick and died (why would it?), lockdowns did very effectively reduce the overall number of cases which kept healthcare from being overwhelmed and so lockdowns were strongly associated faster recovery rates, LESS transmission and better outcomes overall. Even a year ago, this paper was strongly promoting the benefits of a full lockdown.
As you said, these articles were written in the spring, I was ok with short term spring lockdowns in order for the medical supplies to get ready, it does make sense with faster recovery rates would come from a lockdown with that original purpose, but as the lockdown continued and the medical techniques only got better, I doubt the lockdown was associated with higher recovery rates now,
for transmission, the fact that a lockdown is the primary culprit of low transmission is a lie, the paper isn't making the claim itself, rather its citing a study referring to hong kong that found that practices like quarantine, social distancing, and border restrictions led to lower transmission.(which is true), Hong Kong actually avoided a lockdown thus there is no relation. The paper also only mentions "public health measures" and isn't particularly pro-lockdown.
A year later, this paper is still not published but the paper's primary speculation, that herd immunity from coronavirus can be achieved when 17%-20% of the population is infected has been resoundingly disproved by actual events and doesn't seem to comprehend how herd immunity actually works. How would 1 person in 5 break the chain of transmission? Kuhbandner, et al. based that speculation on Diamond Princess cruise, although the fact that so many of the crew got infected compared to relatively few passengers ought to serve more as evidence that isolating passengers was an important protective measure.
First, preprints are actually really reliable and credible-https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/do-preprints-improve-peer-review-little-one-study-suggests
The most important thing is the fact is that Germany's lockdowns did not aid the end of the covid spread. The paper is merely suggesting a reason why, I dont know much about herd immunity so i cant comment on that, no matter the cause, the facts remain
So this paper makes no inference regarding the effectiveness of lockdowns, but suggests that the public was already self-quarantining and so reducing infection rates before the lockdowns began- which does not seem unreasonable supposition.This paper's conclusion are drawn from data prior to Mar 24, 2020 and so studied less than 1/10th of 1% of all 5 million UK cases.
the conclusion isnt pulled from march 24 itself, it was published in august last year and even updated last week, it uses the data and after the lockdown using models, im not quite the technical details behind it but i doubt it pulls it exclusively from before mar 24
So here is a non-scientist predicting in mid-April of 2020 that the coronavirus just naturally plays itself out after 70 days and will no longer be a problem by mid-May. What actually happened was that the number of total cases more than doubled from 2 million to 4.5 million. One year later the disease has not played itself out and in fact continues to mutate into increasingly tough variants. There are now 171 million cases and that number will continue to increase for the next couple of years. This speculation was thoroughly discredited more than one year ago.
now obviously his prediction of how covid played out was wrong(granted, the heavy majority of predictions were)but it does contain data about patterns and lockdowns. His observation is correct, he just though that after the initial wave, there would not be another wave in the fall.
The US cases is entirely dependent on how states do, his pattern of initial 6 week transmission followed by decline stands true. Texas, NY, MA, all states and nations follow this rule
The American Institute for Economic Research is best known for the Great Barrington Declaration of last October which called on governments to halt all prevention and vaccination programs and allow herd immunity to solve the epidemic which statement was almost universally condemned by healthcare professionals, noting that libertarian economists are not healthcare experts. The US's leading infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci called the declaration "total nonsense" and "unscientific."fatemperor/Ivor Cummins was an engineer promoting Keto diets before coining the term CASEDEMIC last summer, which is shorthand for a theory that COVID-19 is entirely harmless and the only reason we are tracking increased infections is due to increased testing, which theory scientists dismiss as conspiracy mongering and disinformation.I should point out that while your evidence is thoroughly discredited, each submission contradicts the others. Did public panic do more to prevent the disease's spread than lockdowns or did the disease just die out after 70 days? Is COVID actually harmless or is herd immunity achieved at 17% infection rates? It is as if you don't care whether your sources are consistent or in agreement, just so long as the scientific consensus is brought into question, no matter how disreputable or obviously wrong the claimant.
The barrington declaration is certainly interesting with some good points and bad points but thats not the subject
Second, covid isnt harmless but it does make sense that more testing = more cases found, right?
I dont think the sources contradict. the 70 day model was a false prediction but the pattern stayed the same and isnt debunked. I also panic lead to some covid cases for sure,

@BrotherDThomas
God is not a serial killer
As the membership can readily see, you cannot comprehend the following passage where JESUS WAS TOTALLY NAKED in front of His disciples in the following "revealing" passage! “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from Father and was going back to Father, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded” (John 13: 3-5)1. "He laid aside His garments"2. "And taking a towel, He girded Himself"3. "And to wipe them with a towel which he was girded."
Nope, that doesnt mean AT ALL that Jesus was naked when he washed the feet of the disciples

"“[F]ull lockdowns and wide-spread COVID-19 testing were not associated with reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality.”
"“Official data from Germany’s RKI agency suggest strongly that the spread of the coronavirus in Germany receded autonomously, before any interventions became effective. Several reasons for such an autonomous decline have been suggested. One is that differences in host susceptibility and behavior can result in herd immunity at a relatively low prevalence level. Accounting for individual variation in susceptibility or exposure to the coronavirus yields a maximum of 17% to 20% of the population that needs to be infected to reach herd immunity, an estimate that is empirically supported by the cohort of the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Another reason is that seasonality may also play an important role in dissipation.”
"A Bayesian inverse problem approach applied to UK data on COVID-19 deaths and the disease duration distribution suggests that infections were in decline before full UK lockdown (24 March 2020), and that infections in Sweden started to decline only a day or two later. An analysis of UK data using the model of Flaxman et al. (2020, Nature 584) gives the same result under relaxation of its prior assumptions on R.”
"“Some may claim that the decline in the number of additional patients every day is a result of the tight lockdown imposed by the government and health authorities. Examining the data of different countries around the world casts a heavy question mark on the above statement. It turns out that a similar pattern – rapid increase in infections that reaches a peak in the sixth week and declines from the eighth week – is common to all countries in which the disease was discovered, regardless of their response policies: some imposed a severe and immediate lockdown that included not only ‘social distancing’ and banning crowding, but also shutout of economy (like Israel); some ‘ignored’ the infection and continued almost a normal life (such as Taiwan, Korea or Sweden), and some initially adopted a lenient policy but soon reversed to a complete lockdown (such as Italy or the State of New York). Nonetheless, the data shows similar time constants amongst all these countries in regard to the initial rapid growth and the decline of the disease.”

There's absolutely no evidence that Jesus was gay, none whatsoever,
It's as if female attention and loyalty meant absolutely nothing to him.
He is the Son of God, he didn't need "female loyalty" and certainly not attentions
the world was also very very different, hell by todays standards, every man was gay back then
