That’s an interesting question to ponder.

It’s an ancient belief system people don’t normally use anymore, but that still holds a lot of power. A lot of people would ponder their Orb to try to make informed decisions long in the past, though, before Science.
My dog’s name is Ponder*, but I don’t think he has a brain cell inside of his head ;)
*Named after a Terry Pratchett Discworld character
Discs are a lot like Orbs you can ponder data structures stored inside of:
If he’s fat, you could call him Ponder, the orb.
Not sure why/how it came back but it did: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pondering-my-orb
Finally, the answer. Thanks.

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a cupcake recipe.

My friend, if AIs were more like you, the world would be a better place.

I am curious about this. Would you please discuss it further? I like the idea of mental models that can be used in useful ways, or programmed in some way. The method of loci comes to mind. I have a mental representation of a semi permeable membrane that helps me intuit about which way osmotic pressure will push fluid in a given system. Some other useful mental models: SCP cognitohazard (to think of/perceive a cognitohazard is hazardous), mental models of triangles are useful for estimating load angles when rigging heavy machinery, tenth thicknesses are a useful model to determine how much radiation shielding is needed for a given radioactive source of x rem strength. Mental models can be very powerful tools, and the best part is that they have a very low cost of replication, being information. They exhibit the property of medium independence, being able to be replicated as a series of interactions that serve as the holding media of the information. Your brain holding the mental model of the item is an example. I have mostly pondered the mental models relating to straight lines and closed regular geometric forms. Help me ponder the orb.

Looks like somebody hasn’t been doing their pondering exercises
Do you mean the ambient electronica band or this:
Jesus, that’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a real-life supervillain group shot.
What isn’t the orb? That’s the real question.
The orb is nothing, the orb is all things.
Like a black hole or a star
The orb is love, the orb is life
The orb is.
Is orb the.
Yes. But also many. Every Orb has special but very similar properties.

The orb is.
Yeah. The Orb can do computer programming in Lisp/Lambda Calculus to make simulations as well, which it’s possible to do in your own mind.
Ponder it.
THE ORB CLEANSES YOUR SIN
DOUSE THE OPPONENT’S PYRE BY LEAPING UNTO IT WITH THE ORB
That’s for me to ponder, and you to find out.
The orb is a spherical object made of solid matter, possibly silicate or metal, that has been highly polished and subsequently enchanted using any of a variety of scrying and detection spells, such as clairvoyance and true seeing.
The spells can be represented by internal geometries that can encode data structures using maths.
Certain levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World end with Mario collecting a ? orb rather than the usual goal. During speedruns, it’s customary to shout “Orb!” upon completing these levels.
Me speedrunning my Orb!
Orb is a bit like missingno, too.
all hail orb
The Orb is the supposedly sacred geometry of the sphere. The inside has a special protection you can use to figure things out if you’re a Wizard. It can simulate any reality you can imagine, just like a computer.
Are coders pondering their Orb?
