Defense Expert Dunc commented in an earlier post of mine, with a link to an article that we both find worthy of discussion. I think it’s worth treating as a separate posting, not Dunc’s words (if I have specific comments on Dunc’s thoughts I’ll make them elsewhere or on the OP)
I’m not in favor of assassinations; I’m especially not fond of sloppy wet work.
One of the things that sometimes frustrates me about AI is that they are constantly being tweaked and adjusted, so they don’t necessarily give the same answer every time. Of course, I’m getting a different run through however many billion nodes get involved in my question, but also, there are (as PZ seems to think is important) random numbers involved, and the generation/version of the various checkpoints that the AI is running.
It’s like asking me what I think about some point regarding Nietzsche before or after I’ve been reading Hume. My opinions on both of them change, mysteriously and below my awareness. But the answer I would give is different.
Imagine how odd it would look if all the heavenly bodies we see are more or less round-ish, and only Earth was flat?
Personally, I feel that brands should hire me – to destroy their brands. Why? It’s great branding!
I started this thought-stream in 2016. Since then, it’s interesting to watch how my interests have changed focus. I think my interests have changed in ways that reflect the changes in the internet, politics, and how society decides who and what is important, when.
I have actually checked with GPT and they say that the take-over will be non-violent.
None of this is to my pride or honor, for if it was, I’d be with a troupe in the commons outside the courthouse every day (in Clearfield, that’s where there’s a 10 commandments sculpture) putting my results to music, throwing confetti, and inviting all passers-by for hugs. No, that’s not enough – I’d be standing, with a mariachi band, in Times Square, with dominatrixes (of all genders) holding republican lawmakers on leashes offering copies of this paper with their mouths.
Krea’s chat mode adds an interesting new dimension to image creation. For example, you can tell it “create a portrait of ben franklin” then, when it doesn’t look Franklin enough, you provide an image and say “more like Franklin” then work on the setting. It’s interesting.
I didn’t really have an answer. My guess was “hi.”
