Method: Ran an unpublished 100k word novel written entirely by a human into Pangram, one of the most common AI checkers. I inserted 2 pages written by AI into it to see if it would find them. I had the checker run through each of the different chapters one by one.

Result: The book was listed as 86% human written, with 14% AI. The 2 parts that were actually AI (written by Claude) were not flagged. The incorrectly flagged portions mostly consisted of sections of professional business language related to characters talking about their work.

It seems what it's looking for are specific buzzwords and sentence structures commonly used in business and professional writing. These are normal constructions, and certainly common in AI, but also common in any professional setting. Basically, if you write with professional language, you'll be flagged as AI.

Has anyone noticed a lot of puns, and wordplay in their studies? Out of curiosity I translated the coptic from Gospel of Thomas into Koine Greek and back into Hebrew to see if anything stood out. I got wordplay, lots and lots of wordplay that actually made sense.

  Crypic logions from Thomas with Hebrew context:

L22:  “Jesus saw little ones being suckled. He says to his disciples: These little ones being suckled are like those entering the kingdom. They say to him: Then shall we, being children, enter the kingdom? Jesus says to them: When you make the two one, and when you make the inside as the outside and the outside as the inside and the above as the below, and when you make the male and the female into one, so that the male is not male nor the female female; when you make eyes in place of an eye and a hand in place of a hand and a foot in place of a foot and an image in place of an image — then you will enter the kingdom.”

In Greek: Odd mysticism. In Hebrew: Contains the Lex Talionis (Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, etc) Matthew 5:38 (Turn the other cheek. "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'") is the equivalent where he references the formula, then overrides it. Jesus is making dual body parts become one here to show unity. The parallel is not in Greek because Thomas's version drops the legal framing.

 

L42: “Jesus says: Become passing-by ones.” Usually translated as: “Become Passers-by.”

 This almost reads as a pun in the retroversion: Aramaic/Hebrew עבר ('br) covers pass by, cross over, and be transient in one root. The participle עוֹבֵר ('over) means "one passing" and also, in Hebrew, a fetus. עִבְרִי ('ivri, Hebrew) is derived from the same root "one who crossed over". Semitic: "Become crossers-over." Whether it means "become passers-by," or "become transient," or "come into being as you pass away" is undecidable.

 

L66: “Jesus says: Show me the stone which the builders rejected. That one is the cornerstone.”

This is a pun. From the Hebrew: "Show me the stone/son the builders/sons rejected. That one is the head of the corner/turning(turning point)." It pops up many times in the bible. Ps 118:22 is already a Hebrew pun — אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים ('eben ma'asu ha-bonim), stone/builders, both from בנה. The chain אֶבֶן ('eben, stone) / בֵּן (ben, son) / בָּנָה (banah, build) is one root-family, Isa 54:13, "read not banayikh (your sons) but bonayikh (your builders)."

L105: “Jesus says: Whoever knows the father and the mother will be called son of a whore.”

My personal favorite pun, and directly related to the pun above. Many of you probably know in Hebrew there’s “know,” and “Know(in the biblical sense).” The author of Thomas is making a dirty joke. (He who knows his parent is himself unknown) AKA, he’s a bastard.

However, this is a double meaning. Surface interpretation: A layman hearing that a person "knows [carnally] his father and mother" perceives intercourse yielding a ben zonah (a son born of a whore/illegitimacy). A deeper read can be: whoever knows the true Father and Mother will be called illegitimate, implied: "as I am." It connects to a documented first-century slur against Jesus. This is a standard form of rabbinical teaching. See Song of Solomon, a song to the layman is scripture to the wise. Connecting it via Judges 11:1 (ben ishah zonah who becomes the rosh) provides a structural bridge to Logion 66. This may be a scriptural hint that there's wordplay involved as well.

There's dozens of other interesting things, but I wanted to keep this short. more than 30 Logion have major differences in Hebrew that clarify the meaning from cryptic to plain.

The general thought is the universe is effectively infinite. Even if the current universe dies, whatever framework created it continues to exist and will continue to produce infinite universes forever.

If you are reading this, you are a consciousness. You cannot comprehend unconsciousness because you must be conscious to comprehend, even while sleeping.

You will never know you died because your consciousness cannot comprehend its own non-existence. Yet you will likely still experience thoughts after death because random chance may give a temporary seat to your mind. Infinite monkies with typewriters producing Shakespeare and all that.

Yet in an infinite universe there will be an infinite number of dice rolls. Each new universe is a dice roll. If it is possible for a thing to happen, it will happen an infinite number of times because the dice never stops rolling.

Even if it takes a trillion trillion universes of time for your consciousness to experience a single thought, you will not comprehend that timescale and you will still experience consciousness until you are reimbodied. Time not experienced is essentially meaningless.

The scale of infinite cannot be comprehended by a finite mind, so it is illogical to think the afterlife cannot be, because a finite being cannot comprehend infinite existence.

Argue about God all you want, but there is almost certainly infinite consciousness because you are experiencing it already.​

A recent update this morning caused my printer to simply stop working because it was low on light cyan ink. I am trying to print a black and white document and it does not need cyan at all, but it refuses to work like it did before the update. This is costing me time and business. I will never, ever, ever buy another Epson product and every time I see them mentioned I will make sure people know how terrible and unethical this company is.

Every kid should be given a small short lived critter to take care of, like a mouse, frog, or hamster. This should be a function in schools, to give kids their pet, teach them how to raise it, and provide a way for it to go home with the child.

No exceptions except in very rare special cases, and even then they should have something mortal depending on them at school instead.

When it dies it should not be replaced. It's only purpose is to live for a while, absorb the children's love, and die to teach children about death at a young age.

Why? People are way too sensitive about death. It's almost a dirty word in some places. They're so terrified of the reminder we are mortal that they're making their own traumas worse by avoiding the topic. Nobody knows how to cope with hardship anymore, so they just get depressed and anxious.

Dead pets can help with that.

They're overpopulated and they've killed so many girls that their male/female sex ratios are wildly off. There are now millions of young men who are underemployed, poor, and completely unable to find a wife... their choice is to live a life of near-slavery and misery or leave. But the reason they are like this is because of the terrible policies of their homelands. They are a pot waiting to boil over, so they should stay home and overthrow their own systems.

In other words, by letting them leave their lands of origin all we are doing is perpetuating their terrible systems and letting them export it to the rest of the world. Let's just cut off their emmigration, don't let them go anywhere else, and let them fight and just get it over with before it becomes a bigger problem than it already is.

Wall them off, let them figure it out. Stop making it the rest of the world's problem.

If our universe exists inside the singularity of a black hole, the slow evaporation of our parent black hole via Hawking radiation might be viewed as entropy from the perspective of an internal observer. The slow loss of mass of the black hole driving expansion of the universe.

If an object like a supermassive star in the parent universe were to collide with our black hole, would we see it as a reversal of entropy, or would it not even be noticeable?
