Wow. Every time I hear a story like this, where AI acheives some amazing feat in a flash - whether it is in art, in rephrasing concepts in the UB, or in music, like with your friend and his samba - I am amazed.

Hi Jim, and thanks for this post. I agree with you. None of us operates in a vacuum; we always need others to accomplish things of value. I have always loved the following passages that help explain how certain people are drawn together: 7:1.6 Spirit-gravity pull and response thereto operate not onl...

Hello Jim...I agree that that is a good article, and shows a step forward in modern thought. The article came acrosss my notice, too, just a few days ago. I like it so much I recommended it for our front page. So, you might see it there in the coming weeks, with some UB citations, like this one: 65:...

Hi redryder... Here is a resource that describes the authors of The Urantia Book - there are more than 20 authors, so it's a fairly good representation of some of the spiritual beings we read about in the book.
