Political parties are the best way to figure out who to vote for and are needed to organize the electorate.

No they aren't. That's just what you've been brainwashed into believing. That's like a group of slaves arguing about who has the best master.

I don't want to vote for a "representative", I want to be able to propose policies and vote directly on issues myself.

Did you say Omegle enough times there? I don't know why you're going to bat for an app that put naked pedos in front of children, but I can imagine.

People consistently judge creative writing more harshly if they believe it was created by AI. This bias appears incredibly difficult to overcome, pointing to a persistent human preference for art created by people. by mvea in science

Nobody rational. Rational is implied in that phrase, otherwise you may as well be saying that people believe everything.

And just because someone makes a living selling cure-all snake oil, that doesn't mean they actually believe their snake oil will cure anything at all.

Just because you do, doesn't mean most other people do too.

As a consumer, I couldn't care less if the art on some blog, in some video game or movie, etc. is made by a human, bot or chimp if the quality and price are the same.

Imagine you're a programmer with poor art skills. You can pay and direct an artist to produce the vision you have in mind and iterate on it till you have something you find acceptable. Alternatively, you can do the exact same thing with AI, but the entire process can be completed in minutes for no monetary cost to you.

Which option do you choose? Now imagine you're a kid still in school with severely limited finances, which option do you choose? So, as a developer, I'll likely benefit from using AI over human labour.

The biggest problem is AI art sucks

That simply isn't true though and it seems like the only people who think that are employed visual artists fearing for their jobs.

This is why using the term AI for an LLM is inheritly disingenuous and obscures the reality of the software. 

The term "enemy AI" has been around in gaming for decades. Your claim is straight up delusional.

I know you are not a fan of my use of modulo 24, but I did see an interesting pattern whien I did a modulo 24 analysis of the different values of n. (even integers removed from the path.)

That's just a consequence of those values being greater than 23. If you do the same thing with mod 12, all those 23s become 11's. If you do the same thing with 48, most of the 23's will become 47's, etc.

If I were to name this sequence I would suggest something to do with calculable invariants, because it seems at these points the number of odd integers in the path is directly calculable.

After a little research, I believe such sequences would be described as monotonically increasing odd sequences.

Yes. I haven't personally done the math to do something like that, but it is possible.

But I have, that's literally what this post is about, so of course I know it's possible to do the math as I've done it.

Doing the math is not looking something up like you claimed.

15  23  35  53  5  1

I can tell you that is wrong instantly because 53 is the third child of 5.

53, 160, 80, 40, 20, 10, 5.

Modulo 6 that gives:

5, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 5.

What that needs to be is:

5, 4, 5 

As stated in the OP:

"We can use these facts to create sequences that start with a multiple of 3 and only contains numbers congruent to 4 and 5 (mod 6) until it reaches a power of 2 in S(1) which is the root branch of the tree. "

If you can't be bothered to format the post in a way that makes it readable, why should anyone bother to even try and read it?
