Have you ever played "silent Tennis?"
...what's 'silent tennis'?
Oh, it's the same as ordinary tennis, but without the raquet....
(Geddit? Raquet? Racket...? Oh, never mind...I'll get my coat... 😁)

"Three guys stranded on a desert island find a magic lantern containing a genie, who grants them each one wish. The first guy wishes he was off the island and back home. The second guy wishes the same. The third guy says: “I’m lonely. I wish my friends were back here.”

YHE UNTOLD STORY
The snake got framed.
Adam, being reckless, forgot the warnings and ate the fruit of knowledge 9hereafted called the apple) first.
He then talked Eve into taking a bite.
The snake saw what happened and hurries to tell the boss.
But, before he could report what he saw, the Boss had already seen Adam and Eve acting strange and discovered the half eaten apple.
Realizing they were in trouble, Eve blushed and was speechless. Adam immediately blamed the snake, claiming that the hapless snake had talked Eve into biting the apple
first and that Eve had convinced Adam to bite into the apple.
The Boss was already having a bad day and, as his business operated under "Right to Work" provisions, just threw all three out.
On the way out, Adam accidentally fell against a boulder which then rolled an caught the unicorns by surprise taking them out.

Re: Buddhist View of Justice
RobinH I think you make a very good point. Most people’s sense of outrage is more developed than their actual sense of justice, and that outrage spills over into anger and violent retribution. It is well known that people individually can be kind, sensitive, good-hearted, but as a mob can be much more volatile.
I think it’s very interesting with all the information coming to light from the Epstein files, that there has been a lot of outrage but very little actual consequence. It seems that in the structure of society today it is a lot more difficult for action to manifest than in the past. Reputational damage is about as far as it seems to go — I don’t think Deepak Chopra will be selling as many books.

Re: The AI tsunami
Perfect example of the utter lack of common sense involved with LLMs. They don't actually know anything.
