Less than zero, and vomited text

The phrase "less than zero" entered the sync stream with my post "The Jolly Switzer" (April 29). Searching my blog for the name Bret (as in Bret Harte, author of "The Jolly Switzer") had led me to Bret Easton Ellis and his novel Less Than Zero. Just the day before, Vox Day had published a post also titled "Less Than Zero" (April 28). Then a couple of days later, as recorded in "Sub-zero, red and blue specs, Ides of March, Diego" (May 1), I had occasion to look up the 2002 movie Ice Age and found a posted dominated by the tagline "Sub-zero heroes."

Last night I read Laeth's latest installment of aphorisms, ".diminished discords (xvi)" (May 31). I highly recommend it as even more than usually insightful, but for the purposes of this post, what I'm interested in is this:

is there a good reason to be against machine vomited text but for machine vomited images or sounds? doesn't make sense to me.

The reference is to the productions of Fake Intelligence software, but what is relevant here is the precise wording I have bolded.

Today I finished reading Remarkably Bright Creatures. On p. 277, one of the human characters says that he "gives fewer than zero shits about" someone. On the same page, just three paragraphs later, we find this description of an overly long message:

The whole screen is filled with word vomit when he changes his mind and backspaces the characters. It's too much for a text message.


Note added: This idea of vomited text reminded me of a passage from Spenser's Faerie Queene. I was going to quote it, but my conscience objected. If you're going to read Spenser, you have to read it all, starting at the beginning. Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. The slow, rhythmic, and, yes, boring stanzas create the necessary twilight atmosphere in which weird and wonderful things can happen. Even his most vivid and astonishing lines lose their color in isolation and simply must be experienced in their natural habitat. Quoting a stanza or two of Spenser is like playing a three-second clip of the "best part" of a symphony. So if you want to know what I'm referring to, start at the beginning, and read until you get to it. It's in the first canto.

William,
Part 1 of 2
Yet again another sync between you and I.
How so you ask?
 Because interestingly you should post about Ai.

Back story:
Just last night  May31 (the night of the blue moon )
I watched the 1973 movie West World which
randomly appeared on my youtube feed.

 Recall I just commented about the blue moon's
significance a few days ago .
copy and paste:
"Look up!
On Sunday, May 31, a rare blue moon
 will illuminate the predawn sky.
A blue moon, defined as the second full moon
 in a single calendar month, has not occurred in the month
of May since 2007.

Not only is the impending blue moon
 a rare calendar event; it also has prophetic connotations
 related to  Pentecost and the Rapture.
For instance:
• Sunday’s blue moon lands on*** Sivan 15, the date
 reckoned Pentecost in the Book of Jubilee."
~~~~~~~~
I asterisked Sivan15 because of 15/51 being in the recent
syn scream and my comment on your:
 Rumi, Wanderjahre, Area 51, 666 phone numbers, post.
Please read that comment if you get a chance.

So on Sivan15 a 1973 movie ( I graduated high school in'73)
coincidently appeared in my youtube stream.

I think most all of us boomers saw the movie West World
 back in the day. That movie sparked a lot of conversation about
the future and the what ifs.
Looking back now I believe that West World was indeed
 predictive programming at its best.

Note that in the movie within the amusement park
called Delos, are three separate and different
 'fantasy' location. West World, Medieval World
and Roman World.
Interestingly Delos sounds very similar to Helos.

IRL Delos Greece is on the 40 and according
to wiki :s one of the most important mythological
, historical, and archaeological sites in Greece.  The EL's
followed/follow the 40.
4 is the Dalet, the door.

William
Part 2 
 
 As I'm sure you know Hollywood is saturated
 with those 11's who know the Sacred Science
knowledge. They are masters and manipulators
of it and they weave it into their productions.
  Bel Air ( Baal's Air ) is on the 33. Michael
Jackson was sacrificed in Bel Air.
Bohemian Grove, the home of the Owls is on the 33.

Regarding Ai and this post :
I personally don't believe that Artificial Intelligence is new.
I believe that all knowledge ( the good , the bad and the ugly)
can be and is 'regurgitated up' from Thoth's mind i.e. the ether.

I believe that the Magic Square is the Key to that knowledge
which is the foundation of this duality dimension and
in this duality dimension everything is numbers.

The EL's and 8's were alchemists, occultists, mathematicians ,
 navigators and aviators, astrologers and astronomers,
masters of and the manipulation of the Sacred Science Knowledge.

So your reference to Ai being fake intelligence is making my point
regarding the illusion that has been spun into this
world wide web.

In the video of the trailer of West World link below,
 note at the very end of the video( abt. marker 3:00-3:02 )
note the title West World and underneath
is the illustration of a white sun. Recall my
recent comment about the WHITES and the Magic
Square of the Sun, the numbers 111 and 666
being the numbers of the Sun.
Note that the white sun emits ELEVEN rays.
In the movie's poster, the sun is red.

Also note in the trailer the font of the word West World ,
there is a rope that connects the W's.The Double U.
The double U are twins.
Copy and paste:
"The Hebrew equivalent of our "w" is the letter "vav" or "waw".
The numerical value of vav is 6.
 
So the English "www" transliterated into Hebrew
 is "vav vav vav", which numerically is 666."
~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my personal life I've had connections with
2Williams. You and my grandfather, William Floyd.

W, turned upside down is M. 13th in the alphabet
and when reduced 4.  I've also had several
M's in my life. My mother's name was Mary and of
course Marshall.

I'm now adding the number 6 to numbers that connect
to me. As I shared in my 2008 Suzy dream, the gatekeeper
in the dream told me that my number was 6.
My numbers now are 4, 5, 6 ,11 and 1.

The syn fairies never disappoint, at least
not for me.
