A few weeks ago, Google researchers announced that they had peered inside the mind of an artificial intelligence program.
What they discovered was a demonic hellscape. You’ve seen the pictures.
These are hallucinations produced by a cluster of simulated neurons trained to identify objects in a picture. The researchers wanted to better understand how the neural network operates, so they asked it to use its imagination. To daydream a little.
At first, they gave the computer abstract images to interpret — like a field of clouds. It was a Rorschach test. The artificial neurons saw what they wanted to see, which in this case were mutant animals dredged from the depths of damnation.

“WARNING - Not to be taken internally!” - Slings and Arrows
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
I have had a single dream about hell. What I saw was also difficult to explain, but I could if I wanted. The weird thing about this dream was that I found the gate to hell via passage through an episcopalian church. Quite prophetic really. (this was a long time ago)
Gee ... why ruin a good cup of coffee?
Artificial intelligence, for all it’s horror and danger, is not foolish enough to post such a recipe.
Fredric Brown, “Answer”
Dwan Ev ceremoniously soldered the final connection with gold. The eyes of a dozen television cameras watched him and the subether bore throughout the universe a dozen pictures of what he was doing.
He straightened and nodded to Dwar Reyn, then moved to a position beside the switch that would complete the contact when he threw it. The switch that would connect, all at once, all of the monster computing machines of all the populated planets in the universe — ninety-six billion planets — into the supercircuit that would connect them all into one supercalculator, one cybernetics machine that would combine all the knowledge of all the galaxies.
Dwar Reyn spoke briefly to the watching and listening trillions. Then after a moment’s silence he said, “Now, Dwar Ev.”
Dwar Ev threw the switch. There was a mighty hum, the surge of power from ninety-six billion planets. Lights flashed and quieted along the miles-long panel.
Dwar Ev stepped back and drew a deep breath. “The honor of asking the first question is yours, Dwar Reyn.”
“Thank you,” said Dwar Reyn. “It shall be a question which no single cybernetics machine has been able to answer.”
He turned to face the machine. “Is there a God?”
The mighty voice answered without hesitation, without the clicking of a single relay.
“Yes, now there is a God.”
Sudden fear flashed on the face of Dwar Ev. He leaped to grab the switch.
A bolt of lightning from the cloudless sky struck him down and fused the switch shut.
Ah, Judge Doughty. Rising above all else.
Hell will try to get people thinking that religion is the same as faith.
So to get to hell you could go through any denomination, any congregation... by embracing the wrong attitude.
If you agreed with my first post on this matter, why didn’t you simply agree or give it a pass?
Follow the thread and realize what you look like finally agreeing with me.
This doesn’t occur to you?
for reclamation of keypad acceleration for contact for (would be an honor) to meet specifics ... please enter input (email) and will comply
Oh judge and god Doughty! Insisting on the reverent Silence!
“You’ve seen the pictures”
No, I hadn’t.
I’d rather not have seen them either
Google works for Satan, btw
This is what they programmed it to do.
Explains a lot about how the Democrat mind works. We are so screwed.
I’m evil, not foolish.
Guaranteed someone will try it.
The horror unleashed will be magnificent.
Oh judge and god Doughty! Insisting on the reverent Silence!
My comment. Your response.
Can you explain how you came away with the idea I told you to remain silent?
Why must you insist on digging the hole deeper with each post?
I am not digging anything... you are towering higher and higher! And the sight is MOST amusing to me!
I had a dream about hell. I fell asleep in the carpool and dreamt the devil was surfing lava around these huge boulders. Woke up and found the radio blaring some AC/DC.
True story.
“Give it a pass”
Oh, but your tower has given you such vertigo you cannot even see what you have said when you were not quite so high.
I had a hunch way back when. They started out in the early 2000's with the slogan, "Don't be evil."
Over time, that slogan changed to "Well, what is evil, anyways?"
Then they purchased a military robot company, and their slogan became "We build killer robots."
However, Microsoft, Google, DARPA and IBM are all working on sensors and methods to read the human mind. They are having some minor success.
When combined with self-aware AI, it will be impossible to defeat, should the need arise:)
At least with Matrix, Terminator and 2001 man had the opportunity to deceive the machines.
