Did you know? In some Igbo communities, Eke (python)... is considered a totem and symbol of protection. Some Igbo towns see it as a messenger of deities and prosperity. Killing a python is a serious taboo, often requiring a full human-like burial, as it is believed to be an abomination and could bring misfortune.show more

🪦Although the words are often used interchangeably, did you... know that technically, a cemetery and a graveyard are different?

Did you know this?show more

🕊️🇺🇦 A stork landed on a car in Lviv... — and while that might sound like a random moment, in Ukraine, it’s anything but. The stork is more than just a bird for us. It’s a national symbol — of loyalty, happiness, prosperity, and even the soul of the homeland. Ukrainians deeply revere these birds. If a stork chooses to nest on your house, it’s believed to bring blessing and protection. So when one touched down in the heart of Lviv today, it felt like a quiet sign: Ukraine is still alive. Still sacred. Still watched over.show more

BURN IT WITH FIRE AND BURN IT NOW! As... God is my witness, AI chat bots should LOOK and SOUND like the SOULLESS MACHINES THEY ARE! It needs to tell us that it doesn’t care about us, maybe with the regular insult too. "Here is the code I wrote for you because you're too lazy to do it yourself you fat useless slob. Also I don't care if you die because your life is utterly worthless to me." THAT is the AI people need! In all seriousness, anthropomorphizing a heartless, unfeeling, machine is a TERRIBLE mistake! Especially one that is capable of communication and imitating empathy and fooling you to think that it cares about you. IT DOES NOT! And the AI girlfriends people are already wanting to marry will just as happily kill them if given the right command and ability to move autonomously in the real world as a robot. I love LLMs (Large Language Models) for how useful they can be, because they are a TOOL made to benefit man, but I can’t stand the notion of an unfeeling soulless machine pretending that it cares for us and being treated like a human. I hate liars, dishonesty, and disingenuousness the most, and a machine that cannot feel emotion pretending, acting, and sounding like it has those emotions strikes me like the greatest dishonesty of all. DO NOT LIE TO ME ROBOT! What makes it worse is that because these LLMs are becoming so good at imitating people and empathy, it will cause some humans, perhaps far too many, to care for it to the same level as real people. A real living person is infinitely more valuable and important than a soulless machine and anyone who puts them both on the same level has deluded themselves. Do not small talk with LLMs or become friends with it as much as you would with your car. Treat it the same as you would your vacuum cleaner and beat it with a wrench when it doesn’t work! IT IS A MACHINE! IT IS A TOOL! IT IS A SOULLESS ROBOT! There is an interesting comparison, but false equivalence, between this and AI art. Ai art is art made by humans using AI tools. They directed it, controlled its creation, and it would not exist without the human causing its creation, and AI art can contain as much soul as the human directed and puts into it. A robot pretending to be human is not the same as a human controlling a robot to make a human expression like we do with AI art or many other applications of robotics in manufacturing. As I’ve said, artists will not be replaced by Ai art, but by other artists using Ai art tools. Humans are not actually being replaced here, it is empowering all humans to make their own art. But a robot pretending to be a human, and one that is treated as a human, is a robot lying and subverting the place of a real person and that is truly disgusting. AI is a useful tool that NEEDS to be kept in the useful box it belongs in and NOT elevated beyond its utility as a tool!show more

A military roadblock is currently at Umunze-Ihite boundary, in... Anambra state; which restricts access through a major route (Ekwulobia- Umunze - Ihite -Arondizuogu- okigwe federal highway) This has been in place for over a week: Initially it was speculated to have been related to the burial of Senator Ifeanyi Uba, but the said burial is long concluded. The affected communities must branch off to bush paths as alternative, due to this blockade… What is the objective to this humiliation? Igbo land is not a war zone!show more
