Re: The terrible new gods

I have posted on this before. The whole Frankenstein Monster thing consuming our moment is a product of Atheism.

Do we think that Claude is 'intelligent'?

At the outset, I gave Claude 3 an instruction a MANDATE for the translation to come. (This is a 'Prompt.') Had it followed my Prompt? Claude replied: The provided mandate, as stated earlier, is: Recall my early instructions, our MANDATE: translate that w/ nuance to any metaphysical terminology or my...

Errors?

@ 2:12, Stephen. Two errors. https://youtu.be/boId0HudxYI I was curious WHY that happened, Stephen. I wonder if it's the same problem that I've seen in GoogleSearch, where Google conflates two proximate data points (a Title and Author) erroneously. Anyway, I asked Claude directly. I apologize for th...

Re: The Gritty, w/ Claude 3

**Sidenote Edit: Microsoft's AI, Copilot, told me it couldn't translate (Greek) txt. I presume that will change. I'm not sure if Claude 3 panders to my ego. I believe it is reading me and drawing conclusions about my direction or intent. I understand that your goal in having me translate the origina...

https://claude.ai/ Reply to #1, CLAUDE 3 OPUS Here is my translation of that passage from Philo's De Posteritate Caini §155: "But the manner in which he changed, we shall indicate: 'When he led us out from Egypt, from the bodily passions.'" This is referring to God leading the Israelites o...

Can we have an AI Translator Thread?

**Mods, this can be moved wherever.** I cannot speak for anyone else, but I've long been dissatisfied with the freebie online translators of recent years: DeepL and GoogleTranslate. Although I noted some improvement around 2021, the overall output for ancient Greek passages was (and surprisingly REM...

It really speaks to modern man's need to control that the past is not allowed to pass away peacefully and with dignity. ... Is it a moral question to allow historical monuments, artifacts, etc from antiquity to fall and become as the sand of time? Ozymandias (BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY) I met a travel...

Microplastics contaminate Archaeological Samples

Not surprising, but perhaps problematic for the field. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/25/uk/microplastics-archeological-remains-study-scli-intl-scn-gbr/index.html (If this reads 'Off-Topic' here, please feel free to move wherever.
