Yes PopeBeanie, it is brilliant. It is more of a paradigm shift (Kuhn) than a  evolution in medical science. All future developments will be at the micro and atomic level. Better living through Science!

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.

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.

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

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

Enco,

That is what they say in NH.

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.

Enco 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?

But 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?

Beanman was a doper. A fixed smile and ready giggle with reality he did giggle. But you’re Beanie and despise unreal and meanie.

Forgive me. just woke.
