Beth Mole of Ars Technica got a second opinion of Bobby Brainworm’s views on masks, social distancing, and vaccines from both Google’s GeminiAI and ChatGPT. Both contradict him:

RFK Jr. thinks AI will free us from the “tyranny” of medical facts, expertise
AI is far from a perfect resource. But it seems to hallucinate les…[Read more]

PopeBeanie and Fellow Unbelievers:

Speaking of Bad Actors, Bobby Brainworm is now saying that AI is more reliable than the medical expertise of Doctors and that AIs can be trusted to give valid second medical opinions:

I say not until AI reaches Superintelligence and not until it absorbs all that is taught in…[Read more]

Yesterday, I encountered a man with an AI made T-Shirt that had a set of praying hands with the glow and radiance that you see in a lot of AI portrayals and the words around the hands said, and I quote:

“Only God Can Me Judge Me!”

Without intending an argument on theology, I simply pointed out to the man that the T-Shirt…[Read more]

I’d like to have met him too. Cosmos and The Demon-Haunted Worldwere both super works. But the AI did him no justice in that video by not translating and transcribing him accurately.

AI doesn’t do itself justice evidently, judging from AI actress Tilly Norwood’s interview with Piers Morgan, where she just randomly broke into Chinese…[Read more]

Trump and his ascension to power is so much more a condemnation of us/human nature than it is of him. So far beyond pathetic that no words can express his path to power and how he wields excalibur.

And remember there has never been an excalibur like it…

Pick your pathogen.

Pick your path.

Doomsday equation aint funny math.

How shit unfolds nobody knows. A grim and dire outcome however it flows. Reminds me of negligence law in torts and one of the elements is of course causation. Duty, breach, causation and damages if memory serves/today i learned…[Read more]

I’ve said a few times now, I believe the problem will be “bad actors”. It’s increasingly easy for bad actors to use AI to benefit themselves or promote an idealism, with potentially horrible consequences.

AI is already able to design human gene-editing processes, with abilities to edit any other species on the way, including pandemic-enhanced…[Read more]

Old news, but new episode. Republicans in power in Georgia helping Trump/DOJ interfere with their midterm election. Interference began innocently enough back before the 2016 election, when Trump claimed that elections are rigged. This was when he wasn’t expected to win, and then he won.

But he kept “rigged elections” as a theme, created several…[Read more]

An interesting article pitting one flavor of Doomers vs. another Flavor of Doomers:

How the bad science of AI doomerism is good for big business
There is no clear path showing that today’s AI systems will lead to superintelligence, much less a basis for calculating the probability of d…[Read more]

Enco,

If that fantasy of breaking bread/smoking a joint/having a beer with intellectual luminaries materialized i’d include Sagan. Cool guy. Popularizer of science. Endless curiosity and humility.
