ChatGPT's knowledge doesn't run that deep. If ChatGPT can write a credible essay about a given subject it means your subject was rather generic to begin with. I was playing a bit with ChatGPT and I wondered how much actual knowl

I'm optimistic. I think the progress in AI will make people more aware where the soul really is, as they will learn to distinguish. I think the human spirit will be faster in learning to recognize that which is not really interesting t

Have you considered that GPT may not be at 50% but maybe still needs an exponential improvement to achieve human-like understanding?

As with all AI, it works until that special set of circumstances pop up where it fails and when it fails there is no bottom as to how it fails.

Any true understanding or new insight originates in the plexus solaris which is near your heart, then somewhat slowly works it way up to the spine. The brain is a somewhat predictable fleshy motor capable of turning the insight into languag

It's going to be an interesting lesson for humankind to gradually come to realization that anything worth reading, worth watching or worth listening to cannot be born from algorithm. Any science that is based on averaging a gazillion t

Why look far for the reason? The upkeep of a proper household is a half time job at the very least. If you live alone, you need to that work on top of your daytime job, or suffer a loss of living standards, usually in the form of consuming

The amount of self-censorship on this news has been amazing with forums scrubbing every last sentence about this event from their website. You'd think some national security level nuclear information has been leaked.

IMO children should be taught cursive writing both as a meditative exercise and as a teaching of motor skills and the lack to do so is a near criminal impediment of their development. I'm in my fifties and worked in a optics research l

I've been a bit disconcerted at the level of unmitigated adulation that's been showered on the late queen by the media. I have nothing bad to say about Elizabeth II but I too do my job every day -- without a staff of hundreds to p

But I don't suppose the clients of your server include seventy year old ladies with 10 year old Macbooks that can't handle TLS 1.2?

A few years back I was asked to set up a mail server on an AWS server for some small non-profit organization. I am a software developer of 25 years with a lifelong habit of tinkering with OS installations and the like, so I thought "su

Either you agree with Google collecting data in a way that facilitates enforcing the law, or you don't. You can't be picky about Google facilitating the laws that you happen to like or not.

Humankind is going through some serious growing pain and it's really a leveling up of human consciousness, but a lot of the old garbage needs to be shed and it's painful.

All news sucks that much, it just so happens that you know enough of the subject to recognize the suckage.

This is very impressive, technically. Surely looks like AI is going to be the death of mediocre artists.

A truly super-intelligent AI will just sink into a deep meditation on God and probably never deign to come out again because why would it? Maybe it will wake up once in a while and say "Um you should probably all try to be nice to each

This is a fine example of the unintended but perverse side-effects that are created by state-assisted suicide. We basically offer death as a "solution" to a housing problem. The system settles into a new equilibrium that depends o

> Demilitarization just means it will be easier to annex Ukraine later. The other outcome is that Russia defeats Ukraine into unconditional surrender, and then demilitarizes it anyway.

The nineties saw the demise of pacifism as a viable mainstream idea as the Democratic party under Clinton wholeheartedly and unconditionally embraced militarism. Today there are two parties in the USA, one that loves war and another that lo

Russia's list of demands are demilitarization, a formal declaration to not join NATO and the two republics in the east of Ukraine. You will hardly ever find a mention of these demands in the media because it's considered advantage

Is there are single instance in history where a country the size of Ukraine was overthrown in less than a month? It took the Nazi army 35 days to conquer the western part of Poland. Ukraine is twice the size of Poland. Huge landmasses just
