Knowledge and feelings of others. Sometimes coming out with everything all at once is a bit overwhelming for others, as their everything would be for us; and sometimes saying everything in our natural way triggers hurt feelings in others (often due to subtle misunderstandings and expectations), as their way might to us.

I agree with the general principle of being open and honest, and then not having to hide yourself.

Also: my keyboard keeps correcting words to ‘kissing’ today. Is Google trying to tell me something?

Och! Ye kennae use thir flag withut chenging thae langgage to theis.

We did. Famously we lost and you got to go your own way and stop paying us taxes.

Ah, one more way in which post-colonial America and Mao’s China are similar.

In the Black Panther they talk about the “heart-shaped 'erb,” and it sounds so strange to me, I always think it should then be “'art-shaped 'erb!”

I thought in Aus and other international areas the Z was considered correct spelling, even though most of the rest follows British convention?

Simple answer: I find I carry on believing in God in much the same way I believe in Science. A mixture of experience, logical coherence, testimony, teaching from people I trust, and connection with other things I know/believe, that makes - to my mind - God’s reality overwhelmingly more likely than not.

Thank you for the more detailed run down. I would set it against two other things, though. One, that for someone who is suicidal or similar, and can’t face or doesn’t know how to find a person to talk to, those beginning interactions of generic therapy advice might (I imagine; I’m not speaking from experience here) do better than nothing.

From that, secondly, more general about AI. Where I’ve tried it it’s good with things people have already written lots about. E.g. a programming feature where people have already asked the question a hundred different ways on stack overflow. Not so good with new things - it’ll make up what its training data lacks. The human condition is as old as humans. Sure, there’s some new and refined approaches, and values and worldviews change over the generations, but old good advice is still good advice. I can imagine in certain ways therapy is an area where AI would be unexpectedly good…

…Notwithstanding your point, which I think is quite right. And as the conversation goes on the risk gets higher and higher. I, too, worry about how people might get hurt.

Nice. That shows a bit clearer how geography, not just distance, affects latency.
