I am not worried by A.I. in the workforce. Too many companies are in a hurry to integrate AI into their core systems and very few I deal with have any idea how a basic network operates, let alone an A.I. system. Many of my clients work in the Architectural and Engineering sector and are required to submit online tenders for government projects. I…[Read more]

‘World-first’ vaccine designed by artificial intelligence.

That’s so cool! I visualized a way to explain fairly simply how AI can do this, treating DNA/RNA just like another language.

1) Via sheer computation, an LLM learns and documents patterns in a language, and can then predict which new patterns can be des…[Read more]

Superman is in the building.

Reg, how long before your superpowers will be executed by AI without need for a human?

Correction and benevolence appreciated.

I lost sleep again, getting wind of even more horrible destruction in their cards by Thanksgiving or so.

Yay!! Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!

I got called into work last weekend to solve an emergency in a hospital IT system. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so I managed to get systems up and running again, 2 hours before the first scheduled operation.

PopeBeanie,

What i’d be interested to know is how various individuals from various ideologies v those sans ideology change their viewpoints once they learn the evidence demonstrates a belief associated with an ideology is BS.

Wouldn’t this be a great period in USA to run tests on the most anti-science politicians?

Anti-science polititians who take their own positions seriously are too unsteady as a supply of lab rats.

(This is clearly the case with vax-skipping, rattlesnake-fondling, raw milk-drinking, fecal and cocaine-snorting, sewage-swimming Bobby B…[Read more]

Secondarily how do beliefs that are divorced from ideologies get jettisoned by the aforementioned groups.

Pardon me, I meant to type “Rotem” but the rotten Autocorrect spelled “Rotten”. The Autocorrect must have The Sex Pistols and Johnny Rotten on the artificial brain. 🤪

Now is “AYA” said affirmatively or as a sign of cynicism? Everything about pesticides was corroborated. I wouldn’t be drinking caffeine pesticide right now if it weren’t…[Read more]

Enco,

AYA

That is what they say in NH.

The discovery of Levy, Fennec and Rotten is great. And it is even tastier without chemophobia and the Appeal to Nature Fallacy.

In the last Sunday School of recorded time i add tomatoes to the bill of fare.

Yeah so am i the only one who has noticed it aint easy to find a good tomato? It is unreal man. I picked up an heirloom recently and was presently surprised to discover it was good. Not excellent. But good.

Not to be outdone by anyone else, now he wrangled with a rattlesnake.

Some suspect this was set-up in advance but either way, this helps confirm my ideological prognosis of RFK Jr:

Thanks Enco,

Bout to be back in the woods and grateful for it.

Jake:

I hope you’re better now.

I have yet read the Pope’s full Encyclical on AI and I’ll have to brace myself for vertigo to try. Those things get wordy and Gish Gallop-y.
