Artificial Intelligence 2 weeks, 1 day 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 2 weeks, 1 day 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?

I kinda wished that Lionel Ritchie and The Commodores had stayed and sang some reworded versions of their songs to riff Trump:
“I wanna be HIGH…like Elon!”
*ZZZZAAAAAPPP!*
“I wanna be free to know the things I do are FCC-approved!”
“I wanna be free! Just me…without tarrifs paying for slush funds and vanity!”“‘Cause I’m EASY!…[Read more]

Ackshuyally, you didn’t punctuate your input to Perplexity as a question, but as a statement, which might affect the reply.
And while Perplexity may do a good job explaining the view of time-flow in a block Universe as relational, Perplexity only expressed it as a conjecture, not as a falsifiable statement and doesn’t make an effort to…[Read more]

Artificial Intelligence 2 weeks, 2 days 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 weeks, 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!
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]

Artificial Intelligence 2 weeks, 3 days 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]

I did not read the whole article cuz i just started feeling better after a minor health issue.
