It's up

Here is a good video about the Super El Nino.

Jehovah does not wait until we feel remorse to offer his hand. He is proactive - ready to forgive. Are we putting in effort to be peace-makers or do we feel that coasting - not making the situation worse - is enough?

In the last years I wrote books about the New World. On my site you can see it. Schrijven – Aad van Hagen. There is a translation button below. Most of them only in Dutch. Accept the main book with the title The New World. That book is translated in English. My books are read by many brothers and sisters and I got a lot of positive reactions. In the introduction I explained that it is a product of meditation and fantasy. Only read it with that in mind. I am an elder and asked Bethel if they object. They see it as a personal case. When you are curious about my fantasy you should read it. It is a positive story with love and respect. Read first the introduction. That is important. When you select my name Aad van Hagen on Apple Books or Google Play you will find all my books.

I know am a bit late here but would you think it's ok to have your favourite player name at the back of your NFL shirt?or would it be a form of idolatry?

Brazil election: Bolsonaro and Lula head to runoff https://www.dw.com/en/brazil-election-bolsonaro-and-lula-head-to-runoff/a-79533857

I'm trying 142

saw recently posted on this site video that someone has done with song "are you ready" its a great song and uses A i very well

I respect your thoughts. However, you may want to do more research. I don't think the trade-off is the same. I'll keep researching too.

How I see this thing is simple, "What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen" It uses water, ok. But it works faster and better than everything else, it's cheaper Let's say a company make a product in less than one hour because of AI, it uses some water, ok, it's what is seen. But at the same time, what is not seen is that for the same product, it may have taken DAYS/WEEKS of labor to get the same products, that's even order of magnitude more natural ressources and money (people to feed and pay) to get the same product.

Made a small ai music video.. https://youtu.be/IBhu6TX0A3k?feature=shared

I always thought Hosea had a really tough assignment here, not many men would have done what he did. It was to demonstrate Jehovah’s mercy. He will show mercy where it is due. To do that he does something we cannot do, he reads our hearts. That shows we should not pass judgement on people. As Bro. Jackson memorably said “ It’s above our pay grade, leave it to Jehovah and Jesus “

Maybe this has been discussed here, but in case it hasn't there may be others like me who don't realize what our simple video and picture creations by AI could be costing the environment. As irony would have it, I had a chatgpt subscription. I made a ton of stuff with it. So much so that my usage was equivalent to the water needs of a whole household for 3 days! It's easy to think because we've had computers for so long, that this is just more of the same. It is, and it isn't. Generative AI data centers are often built in towns near watersheds that are crucial to the environment. They consume large quantities of water, we're in the millions of litres now, but as generative AI grows, that number will reach billions of litres. Just wanted to mention it in case you all weren't aware of this. I know I wasn't. Currently, three of the largest water hogs are Amazon, Microsoft and Google. Of course, they're promising to cut usage -- however, Microsoft has been promising this for 2 decades. Direct Consumption: Facilities use open-loop or evaporative cooling systems where water absorbs server heat and evaporates. A medium-sized facility uses about 110 million gallons annually, while large hyperscale AI sites can consume up to 5 million gallons per day in hot climates. Indirect Consumption: Up to 75% of a data center's total water footprint comes from off-site power plants that use water for cooling and steam generation. These come from local watersheds. I'm certainly no expert on this topic, but my personal usage was a lot of water that could be used for other things than creating pictures of myself with lipstick on...

I'm getting some feedback now I'm thinking about adding a feature for the "quiz on any verse". One of our brothers suggested that I add a know verse to the quiz. So if you choose 5 verses then at least one is on that list? So now I could use some suggestions for "known" verses. Eg. Psalms 22:6 etc. "

Yes, that’s true, Brother Mike. But the high school student movement has been co-opted politically, and the presidential elections in a few months promise to stir up a lot of trouble—in fact, that’s already happening. So the rioters aren’t necessarily high school students. Organized groups are taking advantage of the unrest to escalate the violence. As @Dagessaid, strikes are in the French DNA, but we have to admit that the violence is becoming increasingly striking and involving younger and younger people.

Another news Jews dance and pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Palestinians are told to move aside. https://wyborcza.pl/7,75399,33055064,zydzi-tancza-i-modla-sie-w-meczecie-al-aksa-palestynczycy-maja.html?utm_source=mail&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=wieczorny&NLID=c83f5a0e7480f73c40bb2409e771a1008e6fe799eeb32bd1cdb13d951cf65d48

85% of the protesters detained in France are minors under the age of 18. The young who set fire to the woman after she told them not to vandalize the bus stop was 15 and a half years old.

It’s 15.9.1 on both my devices, so at least for me that’s not it 😟
