That's a Rational Conclusion

Smith was a man of facts, data, a scientist, a computer jock, and a confirmed atheist. He became obsessed with the desire to prove the truth. He mortgaged his house, cashed in all his retirement accounts, and put a down payment on the most advanced most powerful AI computer in the world.

He plugged it into every data bank in the world, accessed every library in the US and Europe, and had it scan every book not yet digitized since scribes started printing books.

Finally after 10 years of focused, single minded effort, he sat down at the keyboard, took a deep breath, and typed, "Is there a God?"

The monitor dimmed for a moment and then up on the screen came the words, "There is now."

Wow, talk about old-school parenting style.

I suppose OK as long as you start out with lots of kids, but. . .

Hopefully after the first one goes up in flames, the rest of them wise up fast. Whichever kid(s) don't, throw that one in next.

Age doesn't make you forgetful. Having way too many stupid things to remember makes you forgetful.

Getting into a relationship might seem like a good idea but so was getting on the Titanic and look what happened there.

Remember, when you are dead you do not know that you are dead.
It is only painful for others. The same applies when you are stupid.

He who laughs last didn't get the joke.

That's kind of spooky... since then Google has built an ever-expanding complex in our remote mountain village that looks almost like that. Nobody really knows what goes on inside, but there are big plumes of "steam" coming out of it.

Cooling towers from a server rack farm. I bet near a cheap source of electricity, they're paying a tiny fraction per kWh compared to other local businesses.

Maybe even generating their own.

Plus huge subsidies in the form of tax breaks. . .

They've basically replaced an aluminum smelter that used to be a direct-service customer (no transmission loss) for the local hydroelectric dam. But they've had to double and quadruple the substation since then.

The local joke is, "That's what happens when you delete a gmail."

Wow, the internet doesn't have any good pictures. I'll have to snap one next time I drive over the top of the hill. This was "phase one." It's about ten times that much now.
