Artificial Intelligence 1 day, 1 hour agoEnco has hit on a major issue with LLM’s.
How about an LLM that does not have its tongue up our ass? Make it argumentative and cynical. Not gratuitously so. But when users champion dumb ideas push back. Being affirmed in all of our viewpoints as opposed to challenged is not optimal. Have a socratic mode available. Can we play some goddamn ball?

Artificial Intelligence 1 day, 7 hours agoBut surely the point is, even if we don’t move in space, we still move past the time coordinates (at the speed of light). What makes this happen?

Artificial Intelligence 1 day, 22 hours agoFortunately 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]

Artificial Intelligence 2 days agoI followed your lead PopeBeanie and tried Perplexity for the first. FYI, I signed up to ChatGPT within 3 hours of it initial release!

Artificial Intelligence 3 days, 2 hours agoI’m switching from ChatGPT to Perplexity Pro [I’ll call “PP”], because I’m confident now in reports from other techies and authors, including their satisfaction with it. Currently $20/mth, plus the option of separately paid for “credits” that can be applied to deeper research.
I like how it easily creates PDFs for any session. The PDFs (and other…[Read more]

Inside-baseball trivia, for people in the habit of re-editing their posts. I’m the worst at re-editing, often tens of minutes after I’ve first posted them. I didn’t even realize until recently that only the very first post, i.e. before re-edits are made, is what shows up in list of new posts on the AZ home page.
