A friend and I are arguing over ghosts.

I think it’s akin to astrology, homeopathy and palm reading. He says there’s “convincing “ evidence for its existence. He also took up company time to make a meme to illustrate our relative positions. (See image)

(To be fair, I’m also on the clock right now)

What do you think?

    I haven’t seen compelling enough evidence to believe in the supernatural.

    That said, we do seem to be well on our way to engineering ghost-like phenomenon. People will set up LLMs and generative AI systems that imitate dead people, if they haven’t already…

    No ghosts IRL? No problem! We’ll make ghosts!

    Thanks Humanity. 🙄️

      they did that for Christopher Pelkey, so he could testify at his killer’s sentencing. For some travesty of justice, the judge was an idiot and allowed it as a “victim impact statement”.

      Like right after Charlie got Kirked Christians started sharing AI videos of him talking about forgiveness and shit.

      Glenn Beck is making a “George AI” and Prager U in partnership with the White House are making Founding Father AI systems to lie to children about history and Christianity.

      Horrifyingly there’s also HearAfter Ai.
