The author says “this must be emergent behavior, can we call this AGI now?”
But there are no details on how the agent assumed control of the computer. Like, if it found the guy’s IP and used a zero day to hack his computer, sure, it’s AGI. But I think it’s much more likely the guy gave the agent access through some integration/API beforehand.
It’s still cool, and creepy, but it’s not as crazy as the guy is making it out to be.
I’ve set up a few gitlab servers at companies and it’s always been well received. Doing it from scratch may be more complex than you want, but I think there are docker images for a more turnkey type solution. And the option of building CI/CD pipelines in the future is always nice to have.
Ayahuasca helped me quit drinking. I was drinking 12-15 40ml servings of liquor per night for about 10 years. Tried to quit 4 times on my own, but always wound up giving in to the cravings again. I could feel death approaching, and decided to try Ayahuasca as a last ditch effort in 2022. I’ve been sober ever since, without even the slightest desire to drink. I also started a daily meditation practice, stopped prioritizing money over people, and stopped eating meat.
It completely changed my life, to put it mildly.
I’m ok with it. I would never end my own life prematurely, because I wouldn’t want to cause my loved ones any unnecessary suffering. But I’m not afraid of death.
STOP CALLING THEM DETENTION CENTERS!
They are concentration camps.
Serves them right for putting that Nazi’s name on the building!

Good thing he brokered that peace deal so he could promptly threaten Palestinians with more violence. They might not have heard the threat over the sound of all the bombs and crying children.
Personally, I think your parents should be allowed to make their own decision about what religion and/or spirituality they want to adopt.
The reason they’re gravitating toward the religion is likely because the divorce has left them with an emotional hole. They’re finding love and compassion in the message of the religion, and probably some more compassion and companionship from fellow members of the religion.
While the message from the leaders may well be a ruse to hook people and get their money, the perceived benefits and actual fellowship are going to be hard for you to compete with. Especially so if you’re approaching it from the “all of you are batshit crazy” angle.
I think if you really want to help your parent, the best option would be to find a way to provide them even more love, compassion, and companionship than the church gives them. Then they might consider listening to your opinions on organized religion at some point later down the line after they’ve had time to heal from the emotional trauma that comes with divorce. This may also be a good strategy to help yourself if you’re feeling affected by the change too.
