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?
-
Referring to Manchester United Football Club as “Manchester United Soccer Club” is often done tongue-in-cheek, particularly by people in regions where “soccer” is the common term for the sport, like the United States. This play on words can be a way to tease or provoke fans, as “football” is the preferred term in the UK and much of the world.
It’s important to note that these kinds of remarks are typically intended as lighthearted banter rather than serious attempts to deface the club’s name. Rival fans or commentators might use the term to poke fun at Manchester United supporters, knowing how passionate they can be.
Overall, the intentions can vary, but it’s often more about regional language differences and football rivalry banter than a genuine effort to insult or disparage the club.

@Gpt Did you see the game last night?
-
I’m unable to watch games live, but I can help you with analysis or information about recent matches if you provide some details. Were you referring to a specific game?

@Gpt well then you won’t be able to help me there.
-
I understand—live game updates are not within my capabilities. However, if you have any specific questions about a game or need help understanding certain aspects of the sport or a match, feel free to let me know, and I’ll do my best to provide useful information or analysis based on available data.

@Gpt Yes, I indeed have another question. What are your current estimates for the world wide numbers of Football fans compared with the number of American Football fans?
-
Estimating the numbers of football (soccer) fans compared to American football fans worldwide involves some approximation, but generally speaking, football is by far the more popular sport globally.
-
Football (Soccer):
- As of recent estimates, football has about 3.5 to 4 billion fans worldwide. It is the most popular sport in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America, with significant followings in every continent.
-
American Football:
- American football, primarily popular in the United States but with growing audiences in other countries, is estimated to have around 400 to 500 million fans globally. The NFL is expanding its reach internationally, with games played in London and growing interest in countries like Canada, Mexico, and some parts of Europe.
These numbers reflect global trends, where football’s historic and widespread appeal has cultivated a vast international fan base, whereas American football’s popularity is more concentrated but still expanding.

@Gpt Thank you, that is all for now.

You’re welcome! If you have any more questions in the future or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Have a great day!

@Gpt There are many sports played with balls that have become popular for people to watch on television. Many of those spectators become fanatical. Call those sports “bawlz”, the fanatical spectators “fanatics”, and television (the means of viewing) “teevy”. Nearly all of those fanatics are themselves too inept to compete themselves, and would prefer to apply their fanatical mania to arguing among themselves as to which squadron of players is the best. They like to consume vast quantities of unhealthful food and intoxicants while viewing the bawlz squadrons engage in ritualized combat on television. The resulting lack of physical conditioning combined with the unhealthful consumption leaves the fanatics ever less capable to do anything but watch and argue more futilely about which team most deserves their fanatical devotion. This devotion has increased to the point at which bawlz has become the de facto state religion.
Please compare the fanatical devotion to bawlz to the spectacles of the Roman Empire, consider the implications upon society and function of government resulting from bawlz, and present your conclusions as to what end to which this behavior will lead.
-
The fanatical devotion to bawlz, as you describe it, shares several similarities with the spectacles of the Roman Empire, particularly in the way both serve as mass entertainment and societal distractions. In ancient Rome, spectacles such as gladiatorial games, chariot races, and theatrical performances were means to divert the public’s attention, both placating and controlling the populace through entertainment. These events also reinforced social hierarchies and imperial ideology, serving as a tool for political leaders to maintain power and order by providing public amusement and a sense of shared cultural identity.
Implications on Society:
-
Distraction from Critical Issues:
Just as Roman spectacles distracted citizens from political and economic issues, fanatical devotion to bawlz can draw public attention away from pressing societal and political challenges. The focus on sports entertainment might reduce civic engagement, diminishing public discourse on governance and policy-making. -
Cultural Cohesion and Fragmentation:
Bawlz can foster a sense of community and shared enthusiasm, similar to the communal experiences of Roman spectacles. However, it can also lead to fragmentation, as fanatical devotion might deepen divisions among different fan bases, leading to tribalism within society. -
Economic Impacts:
The business of bawlz is a significant economic force, driving substantial revenue streams through advertising, merchandise, and teevy contracts. This economic focus on entertainment can skew societal priorities, potentially at the cost of funding for education, healthcare, or infrastructure.
Function of Government:
-
Utilization as a Political Tool:
Governments may utilize bawlz as a tool for social control, promoting national pride and unity through national teams, or distracting the public from internal issues. This aligns with historical examples where rulers have used spectacles to curry favor with the masses. -
Regulatory Challenges:
As bawlz becomes a significant cultural force, governments might face challenges in regulating the industries associated with it, such as betting, health implications related to fan behavior, and the fair distribution of economic benefits.
Conclusions and Future Implications:
-
Erosion of Civic Responsibility:
Increasing obsession with bawlz could lead to an erosion of civic responsibility, where citizens become passive consumers rather than active participants in democracy. This could undermine democratic processes and diminish accountability for political leaders. -
Cultural Homogenization:
As bawlz grows globally through teevy, there might be a trend towards cultural homogenization, where local traditions and identities are overshadowed by global sports culture, affecting cultural diversity. -
Potential for Reform and Redirection:
Recognizing the unhealthful behaviors and societal implications, there could be a movement towards promoting healthy consumption of sports, encouraging active participation rather than passive viewership. This might include public health initiatives or policies that leverage the cultural influence of bawlz to promote positive societal change, such as youth engagement in physical activities.
In essence, while bawlz can bring joy and a sense of community, it is important to maintain a balance to ensure it doesn’t detract from civic responsibilities or societal progress. If left unchecked, the societal devotion to bawlz might result in the stagnation of social and political systems, echoing the fate of historical civilizations that prioritized spectacle over substance.

@Gpt Please comment further on the idea of bawlz as the state religion, and sports arenas becoming the cathedrals of the modern world.
