We can't even give humans human rights. AI will have to get in line.

Wrong in the sense that they have been doing everything they accuse the US of doing for decades.

That you can make such grossly hypocritical statements publicly means you aren't serious about anything.

A “certain major country” is keen on unilateralism and protectionism and has caused “serious impact” on international rules and order, Xi also said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

That's rich coming from China. They have never supported or even participated in the rules based order. From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc...

Liches decay usually to skeletal levels.

But it's a good point.

I asked Cohere (Canadian LLM/AI) what fits best:

The mythical creature that best matches the description of Jesus, who dies and returns to life while retaining his intelligence and physical form, is often associated with the concept of a "Resurrected Divine Being" rather than a specific mythical creature from folklore. However, if we look for parallels in mythology, the closest analogy might be:

The Phoenix

The Phoenix is a mythical bird that cyclically regenerates or is reborn. It dies in a burst of flames and then rises again, renewed and youthful, from its ashes. This symbolizes rebirth, immortality, and the triumph over death. While the Phoenix is not a direct theological match, its theme of death and resurrection aligns with the core aspect of Jesus' story.

Other Considerations

  1. Osiris (Egyptian Mythology): Osiris, the god of the afterlife, was murdered by Set, dismembered, and later resurrected by Isis. He becomes the lord of the underworld and a symbol of rebirth and eternal life. This parallels the idea of dying and rising again, though Osiris remains in a divine, otherworldly state.

  2. Attis (Phrygian Mythology): Attis was a vegetation god who dies and is reborn annually, symbolizing the cycle of life and death. His resurrection is tied to the renewal of nature.

  3. Dionysus (Greek Mythology): Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility, was dismembered and then reborn, symbolizing rebirth and transformation. His resurrection is often tied to themes of renewal and divine power.

Conclusion

While none of these mythical creatures perfectly align with the theological specifics of Jesus (who is considered divine in Christianity and whose resurrection is central to Christian doctrine), the Phoenix is the closest in terms of the symbolic theme of death and rebirth. Jesus, however, transcends these mythical parallels as a figure of religious faith, not just a mythological archetype. His resurrection is presented as a unique, divine event rather than a cyclical or mythical phenomenon.

So the solution to AI encroachment is to self-sabotage all communication? A little too scorched earth for me. Reminds of a bad variation of Inception.

Canned goods and ammunition are still part of GDP. Maybe they are just saying the economy will shift from a consumer economy to a prepper economy.

India will pursue its own self interest as it always has. It has no interest in interdependency on the US and the irony of the US stabbing everyone in the face, while then begging for help shows how irrational they are. They are at best an unreliable trade partner.

No one can partner with stupidity and chaos.

They will accept direct foreign investment and will gladly climb the manufacturing capabilities ladder as the Chinese have done so successfully. But they will trust the US as much as the trust China. I.e. not at all.
