Assassinating is so easy a child could do it. It’s getting away with it that’s hard.

Yes, and we’re in denial about it.

No mysteries left to ponder, just unending obligatory supplication. What bliss!

Every time I hear someone talking up prompt engineering, I feel like I should say something. But I don’t.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I like that someone in a position of authority is talking about this.

Sounds like insecurity to me.

Maybe I’m slow or something, but I don’t get how eating meat is masculine.

The examined life with all its critical thinking and guarding against bias is hard. The dark side is easier.

Mostly I just remember the burns on my legs from the engine.

And then the motorcycle being broken and never getting fixed. I suspect my mom sabotaged it.

This is me and my dad. It isn’t, but it is.

The Undiscovered Country

I really wish you had asked a few years ago. Then perhaps I could have avoided this horrible mistake. But, oh well. 🤷‍♂️

And I don’t mean to denigrate data science. It is important and powerful. And real machine intelligence may one day emerge from it (or data science may one day point the way). But data science just isn’t AI.

This is because the AI of today is a shit sandwich that we’re being told is peanut butter and jelly.

For those who like to party: All the current “AI” technologies use statistics to approximate semantics. They can’t just be semantic, because we don’t know how meaning works or what gives rise to it. So the public is put off because they have an intuitive sense of the ruse.

As long as the mechanics of meaning remain a mystery, “AI” will be parlor tricks.

No one knows, but for sure the reason is something rotten. I’ve never ever heard a reasonable argument against it.

Simple really:

1. A talking snake with legs convinced Eve, who was made from a rib, to eat a fruit that made her realize she was naked.
2. ???
3. Jesus had to be born of a woman, obviously.

Make goo go brrrr

So I take it that you interpret “no stupid questions” to mean “don’t post stupid questions.” The way I interpret it is “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.”

The sidebar says “No such thing. Ask away!” So I think the idea is that people should feel free to ask any question assuming they really want an answer. However, joke or troll questions (and I don’t think this is either one), are allowed on Fridays.
