The #rebirth of the #renaissance - or the renaissance of #modern #man in the light of #artificial/#artistic #intelligence
The essay focuses on the #image of man, #art, #science and #thinking of that #time and attempts to build a #bridge to the #new #age. Based on the #assumption that we are currently also in a kind of “Renaissance”, the aim is to establish links to the era of that #time.

No matter what the #TechBros throw at the humanities, #GAI (or even #AGI if it ever becomes a reality) will never unseat the primacy of the human potential for creativity. Whatever else #artificial… (choose your own terms) is set to accomplish, it will be stale, utilitarian (hopefully) and desultory if not irretrievably delusional (see second point).
1. We are who we think we are.
2. The reality we experience is in our minds.
3. We are creators of our own world.
Building a DIY Tornado Tower.
A tornado can be an awe-inspiring sight, but it can also flip your car, trash your house and otherwise injure you with flying debris. If you’d like to look at swirling air currents in a safer context, you might appreciate this tornado tower build from [Gary Boyd].

[Gary]’s build was inspired by museum demonstrations and the tornado machine designs of [Harald Edens].
<https://www.weatherscapes.com/techniques.php?cat=miscellaneous&page=tornado_machine>
His build generates a vortex that spans 1 meter tall in a semi-open cylindrical chamber. A fan in the top of the device sucks in air from the chamber, and exhausts it through a vertical column of holes in the wall of the cylinder.
This creates a vortex in the air, though it’s not something you can see on its own. To visualize the flow, the cylindrical chamber is also fitted with an ultrasonic mist generator in the base. The vortex in the chamber is able to pick up this mist, and it can be seen swirling upwards as it is sucked towards the fan at the top.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/404/644/854/155/329/original/b9e846ed417021ee.jpeg "[ImageSource: Gary Boyd]

Counsel for Mike #Lindell caught red-handed using #generative #artificial #intelligence to draft #court response that contained misquotes, misrepresentations, and completely fake citations.

Wouldn't limit that on the #artificial construction of #Israel and I'd say there is NO innocent #zionist, much like innocent #nazis do NOT exist.
Pls @N432rk2ar keep in mind that #antizionist Jews (like Gabor Maté) are and have been welcome in #Palestine.
