Artificial Intelligence 4 days, 2 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 4 days, 5 hours agoI followed your lead PopeBeanie and tried Perplexity for the first. FYI, I signed up to ChatGPT within 3 hours of it initial release!

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]

Artificial Intelligence 5 days, 6 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]

Fear not. My question was not a “Gotcha”. If you served, I salute your service in whatever capacity.
Members of the Armed Forces deserve our respect, regardless of the ridiculousness of foreign policies set by Congress and the Presidency.

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.

I did not read the whole article cuz i just started feeling better after a minor health issue.
But it reminds me of the unholy alliance between Islamists and lefties.

Enco,
I don’t think they are hiding it as AI.
They are trying to follow Arthur C. Clarke’s dictum that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”…But they only have the grandiosity of magic without yet any of the omnific benevolence or competence.

I am still trolling for fighter jet video companions. I’ve learned A LOT ever since air power would potentially be an issue during the Ukraine invasion. Air Force veteran here who did not even know the difference between any fighter jets, just radar jammers.
Oh, had you served?
