Ray Kurzweil and his "Age of Spiritual Machines", which I read in 1999, is much more to blame than the others like Goertzel that came after him but Kurzweil doesn't get a mention. Kurzweil is also a MIT grad closely associate

Thank you. I did follow one of those using the same search without the quotes and followed. And your second one now. I'm also cleaning up my X site to get rid of anything not AI so I can do a fair comparison.

I'm sympathetic to their arguments but that doesn't lesson my need to understand AI if I'm going to help them with their concerns. Ignoring it is not an effective strategy.

If true, bad news for Elon Musk and xAI because they have to start over. He's already indicated this in regards to Wikipedia. He wants to train on Grokepedia and not Wikipedia. Removing NSFW material gives him another reason.

I just tried to find AI starter packs on BlueSky and confirmed that BlueSky is openly hostile to AI. I understand the reasons, it's just not where I'm at. I'll try Threads and see what happens.

It's still the most interesting platform for AI

The training data was considered good by Musk to start with, so he could have spicy mode, but he changed his mind and now Grok is considered poisoned with porn. My question is, can that be fixed or does he have to start over again?

by labrador 11mo ago
On a related topic, I've been following with some amusement the outrage on Reddit/r/Grok because Grok will no longer make porn. Apparently Grok was trained on all the NSFW material on X and Twitter before it intentionally so

Wow. I clicked on your user name for some reason. You've been here 19 years and only have 34 karma and made only 16 comments! Anyway, I came here to say Clojure also targets JavaScript and could target more like ClojureCLR https:&#x2F

Does it scroll? Because I like to scroll around when thinking about my program. I always imagine Lips REPL ppl saying they keep the entire program in their head but that can't be right. That's doing things the hard way.

Good talk! I didn't believe that Go example was real at first. A bit strange. I always think of Alan Kay's message passing objects when listening to descriptions of Erlang and tonight I also thought about Kubernetes pods. The othe

Dot-com proved you can be right about the revolution and still lose everything on misallocated bets. Add in the risk that algorithmic breakthroughs make current infrastructure obsolete, and suddenly those $400B data centers look a lot like

Thanks. I'm sorry I jumped to the conclusion that you were making the doomer arguement. I see now your argument is much more subtle and raises some interesting points. If I understand it correctly, it's like what if one company ow

My read today is that the advantage of Rust over C/C++ is that the compiler enforces the rules, where in C/C++ you'd have to use a static source code analyzer to find omissions. Since Clojure uses Software Transactional Memor

The late great Joe Armstrong is missed! Good suggestion, I will take a look at Elixer/Erlang. It's the least I can do for the laughs Joe gave me in his videos.

That's a great suggestion I had forgotten about, which is strange since I'm a C# programmer. Part of me wants to really learn a Lisp to see what it is special about it that I keep hearing about. I tried Racket and Steel Bank Commo

One thing that jumped out at me is you don't need Rust's borrow checker to prevent thread race conditions because data in Clojure is immutable. That's a huge simplification over Rust. What I hear mostly about Rust is complain

It occurred to me this morning that I should learn Clojure instead of Rust for non-lowlevel code because Clojure solves the same problems Rust solves in a much simpler way. I'm a fan of Clojure author Rich Hickey's "Simple Ma

AGI is fantasy at this point and your assumption that AGI would give OpenAI unprecented powers is the Musk/Yudkowsky/Hinton argument that AI will dominate and enslave us. Drop those assumptions and my point stands that throughout
