that would be something that tries to emulate human brain's structure in its architecture like a long and short term "memory network" a "thinking network" a "temporal network" etc all working in synchrony and self updating

In reference to:
I am reminded that one of the meanings of 'Drop Dead' is shocking. As in "I nearly dropped dead when I heard...", "I nearly dropped dead when I saw...", "I nearly dropped dead when I realized...", "I nearly dropped dead when I found out...", ...
This is a little bit out there but regarding "Hold fast to your network and do not allow yourselves to be stampeded or externally driven.",
Is this site / forum prepared for a stampede of itself?
What would happen if one thousand or one hundred thousand or ten million new users came to this site?

I could do a mock up in Photoshop. I’m fairly certain that I could fit that verse (1:10-12) onto one side of a standard business card with the logo behind it (at say 70% opacity with some vignette around the type to make it pop). However to fit the entire passage from “tongues” to “greatest” would take about 5 sides (unless you do some serious micro print, which kinda defeat the purpose). So if you wanted a business card size, it would have to probably be a trifold sort of thing, which makes printing it rather tricky (setup for both sides and all that). Just thinking out loud.That's a nice idea. I want to do the whole of 1-13. Should play around with it. Want to make a nice little sort of quick reference type deal so I can read and reread. Probably wallet size is too small but

Maybe paperback size, double-sided would work? Also thinking out loudI could do a mock up in Photoshop.

Great Idea. There is a bit of lateral thinking. Nice.

Okay, so I can’t seem to find my copy of Paul’s Necessary Sin 
. If someone could DM me Ashworth’s translation of Corinthians 13 (or post it here), I’ll lay it out and see how it fits, and if it looks good, I’ll upload the file here for anyone who wants to print one out (assuming of course everyone’s cool with me using the FOTCM artwork). I haven’t fooled around in Photoshop in a few years (it used to be my bread and butter), so it’ll be fun to see if I can still find my way around.

What about LLM AI that can be taken offline to store data and information?

it doesn't store data in human readable form though it does get trained on "the whole internet" if that's what you meant, neither it stores information by definition but anyway
the idea with local LLM is that it's offline and private for personal use etc, i wonder how could that feed a "soul imprint" or "feeding tube" compared to openai's gpt that millions of ppl use every day and whose processing power needed is a ~million times more than a single LLM user

So here’s a prototype. I can make the type larger if we do two sides, but that will make printing a bit more tricky. Anyhow, lemme know what you think.
The bookmark, and a close up showing the trying detail. Hope you like it

Looks great
Thank you for sharing the session. It was moving to hear from Pierre, and it's great to know he is doing very well on the other side!
That's an interesting detail. I had some "harsh" dreams after last summer, but just recently also had a few dreams where "bad guys" tried to harm or capture me, so maybe there is "something in the air"!
(In fact last night I had a dream, where I was visiting a friend's home. In one of the rooms, I noticed a small gecko-type lizard hiding in a pile of laundry on the floor. It started to make jumps at me, and I tried to dodge it, but it finally managed bite my forehead. The s.o.b. was stuck there, and it took some effort and help to get rid of it.
There might be a simple interpretation to the dream though. My sleep mask had loosened and the most "twisted" part was pressing at the exact spot where the lizard was stuck. And it probably didn't help that I had a post by @iamthatis fresh in my mind, the one which had a page from a Dr. Strange comic, where all kinds of "attachments" were glued to people!)
The movie is based on a book by the same name, written by Richard Matheson. He was a prolific author, mainly writing sci-fi, horror and fantasy, but later highlighted how "What Dreams May Come" was the most important book he had written.
I highly recommend it to anyone interested: it's a very readable telling of a man who dies due to an accident, and then slowly gets accustomed to the afterlife and its aspects. He tries to communicate to his wife, that he is "still here", but not believing in life after death, she blocks her mind from all the clues, and in her grief, eventually commits suicide. She is stuck with her materialistic mindset even in the beyond, not willing to see the obvious...
Matheson wrote a nice prologue to the book, explaining that in his opinion introductions aren't generally necessary, but why this particular work required one:
Matheson appears to be sincerely convinced of the existence of afterlife. As he delved into the literature and research, he might have come to the inevitable conclusion, and of course he could have had some personal (or known someone who had) experience in the subject (NDE, OBE, etc.) as well.

Looks good.
Maybe lighten the FOTCM logo so as not to obscure the text, and/or make the text bolder or more prominent?
