Artificial Intelligence

Perplexity has a misapplied word. Less. Should have been least. Does it simply copy paste?

The free will and compatibilism was not very deep or convincing.

Fortunately I could skim a LOT of that because I recognized most of it as something from the past. Which is irrelevant now, as is EVERYTHING, like the constructs of “before”, “I”, “past”, UPPERCASE, time, and misspellings are all irrelevent figments. So is this post. Every construct, whether constructed by human or flying squirrel, is an illusion,…[Read more]

I followed your lead PopeBeanie and tried Perplexity for the first. FYI, I signed up to ChatGPT within 3 hours of it initial release!

Here is my question….

Hello, this is my first question here. Can you explain why the human concept of “time flow” is just an evolved survival trait as time is “only” a spacetime coordinate. Everything is…[Read more]

The DuckDuckGo privacy-friendly browser and search engine also has DuckAI, which I’ve found is very good at answering questions I’ve had about AI and provides links to at least a couple of external primary sources.

Searching with DuckDuckGo also frequently turns up DuckAI answers at the top of the page. All free to the end user,…[Read more]

Hegseth is pissed off that Anthropic has refused to hand over ChatGPT technology to the Pentagon. A bit over 1 minute:

What could possibly go wrong with trusting Pete with it, right?

[Moderator note: I changed the name of this topic from “ChatGPT 2022/2023” to “ChatGPT 2022 to ?”]

The link works. I have a full NYT sub so can share 10 stories per month. I was on the phone with a friend in Zaporizhzhia a few nights ago. We had drones and gunfire for almost all of the call.

Reg dropped a link to an awesomely informative NYT article about AI advancement in drones supplied to or made by Ukraine. I got so immersed in it I lost track of time. Microsoft’s CoPilot gave me a summary of quotes from it. See it below the link. CoPilot also estimated a reading time of 20 minutes, but it felt more like an hour-long…[Read more]

I keep hearing about where AI is weak, and that’s ok. It’s often true. But many in society typically prefer to just leave it at that, ignoring that AI is at least good at: Summarizing the words and conclusions of everything published on the internet. For better, and for worse, of course, but I love delving into topics that would take ten or a…[Read more]

Time will tell if AI can “be happy”. Right now, I would say that is only in the realm of biologics as the brain releases hormones. We are electro-chemical machines. Sure, it can be simulated in silicon and maybe even fool us.

I disagree. One can go from happiness to being distraught in a millisecond, without the state of things changing at all.

A state of being is not a “state of things.” It’s about how one IS. At one moment being happy and a millisecond later of being distraught. A state of being describes ones state at a parti…

Maybe you can call it a mood.

Sure, the main point being that a deterministic, rational, but emotionless human existence is probably subpar.

Yeah, and this is also why some say we need a god…watching, looking, keeping score.

We’re all monitored and evaluated the entire time, by ourselves and everybody who knows us. There’s a big eye watching us all the time, and it’s called the human race.

Yes, but the level of detail varies widely, and the wat…[Read more]
