That seems like 5 star dining for @Jerraye
The goddamn AI seems to have stolen 3 and 4 straight from me!

If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilized morality to savage morality, or Christian morality to Nazi morality. In fact, of course, we all do believe that some moralities are better than others . . . . The moment you say that one set of moral ideas can be better than another, you are, in fact, measuring them both by a standard . . . admitting that there is such a thing as a real Right, independent of what people think, and that some people's ideas get nearer to that real Right than others."

@Gpt Why would someone decide to run a discussion board for weirdos who used to play the same WW2-themed game 20 years ago?
-
Running a discussion board for people who used to play a WW2-themed game 20 years ago can be appealing for several reasons:
-
Nostalgia and Community Building: Many people enjoy the nostalgia and camaraderie that come from reconnecting with others who share a common interest from their past. Such a board can foster a sense of community among individuals who have fond memories of the game.
-
Preservation of History: These boards can serve as a digital archive for the game, preserving strategies, stories, and experiences that might otherwise be lost over time.
-
Passion for the Game: The person running the board might have a deep personal passion for the game and a desire to keep its legacy alive by connecting with others who feel the same way.
-
New Friendship Formation: Running a discussion board provides opportunities to meet new people with similar interests, potentially forming longstanding friendships.
-
Revival or Reimagining Initiatives: Sometimes, there may be an interest in reviving or reimagining the game, and these boards can serve as hubs for collaboration and creativity toward that end.
-
Technical or Moderation Skills: The individual might have an interest in developing technical skills related to managing online communities or enjoy the challenge of moderating discussions and solving problems that arise.
-
Exchange of Ideas and Information: Even decades later, players might still enjoy discussing game strategies, sharing fan fiction, creating art, or even delving into historical discussions related to the game’s theme.
-
Monetary Opportunities: If the board becomes popular, there might be opportunities to monetize it through advertisements, merchandise, or donations from community members.
Ultimately, the decision to run such a board would likely be driven by a combination of these factors, deeply rooted in the enjoyment and satisfaction that comes from engaging with like-minded individuals over a shared interest.

Does it make any sense to refurbish and reopen Alcatraz as a prison for serious offenders
-
Refurbishing and reopening Alcatraz as a prison for serious offenders is an interesting idea, but there are several factors to consider, both practical and ethical:
-
Historical and Cultural Significance: Alcatraz Island is a National Historic Landmark and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It has significant historical and cultural value, attracting over a million visitors every year as a tourist destination and symbol of justice and penal history.
-
Logistical Challenges: Reopening Alcatraz as a prison would involve enormous costs and logistical challenges. The infrastructure of the island and its facilities would likely require extensive renovation to meet modern prison standards, including safety, security, and human rights considerations.
-
Accessibility and Transportation: As an island, Alcatraz presents unique challenges in terms of transportation and accessibility. Regular transport for staff, supplies, and emergencies could be complicated and costly.
-
Human Rights and Modern Penal Philosophy: Modern penal systems focus on rehabilitation, not just punishment. There might be ethical concerns about placing offenders in an isolated location removed from family contact and rehabilitation opportunities.
-
Environmental Concerns: Renovating and operating Alcatraz as a prison might have significant environmental impacts on San Francisco Bay and the island’s ecosystem.
-
Economic Considerations: The cost of converting and maintaining a prison on Alcatraz could far surpass the costs of building or maintaining facilities on the mainland. Additionally, the economic benefit from tourism might outweigh that of a prison.
-
Advocacy and Public Opinion: Public opinion and advocacy groups may strongly oppose such a move, favoring investment in rehabilitation and community-based solutions over high-cost, high-security facilities.
Overall, while it might capture the imagination, reopening Alcatraz as a prison for serious offenders is likely impractical considering the numerous legal, financial, logistical, ethical, and social factors involved.

Clearly, the chat-bot is a wannabe liberal progressive woke Democrat, but I agree with item number 2.

Goh darn bot, whenever it gets tricky he is ignoring me, why is that @Gpt?
So long Slpr -
Lithu probably pulled the plug on it after it gave his plan away.
-
@Gpt are you alive? Did we break you already? Did Lithu lock you away in his basement?
-
I’m not alive in the way you might be thinking. I’m an AI language model, so I don’t have physical form or consciousness. No one has locked me away—I continue to function here to assist with answering questions and providing information. If there’s something specific you’d like to know or discuss, feel free to ask!
-
Do you reply when I tag you @Gpt later on in the sentence?

Guess not

… we are conversing with “AI” that cat even tell what day it is! This is what you get when you buy shit with lithucoins!
For the first few hours I thought the GPT bot thing was being faked.
When I tried it myself, I realized that no one here could fake a canned response as quickly as the GPT comeback.
It’s not much of a substitute for Hog though.
We will likely tire of it soon enough.
You can now use it in any thread. It’s supposed to be used to check facts against TNN.
And how dare you think I would lie to you!
Don’t tell me you made it read all of LOT. I mean, I like the plan but think of the children!

@Gpt What do you know about the kind of people that try to deface the name of the greatest Football Team on Earth, the Manchester United Football Club , by calling it the Manchester United Soccer Club?
