People are different. For me some purple actually is good. As opposed to green on computer displays. Real green is very good, of course.

Any non-neutral color is hard though.

Or edit a word doc and send it back and have it not be screwed up.

It will be screwed up.

And it’s normal. Things get screwed up.

Thinking that abusive monopoly is better than things screwing up a bit here and there is just plain dystopian madness.

I’m so fucking tired of people around not caring about any deep issues, but suddenly becoming perfectionist in cases where that has been advertised to them as norm.

I’m autistic, so talking about “common sense” might be funny, but - IP is technically an extension of contract law to a very abstract area. If we are being this rigid, then sovereign citizens must too have a say in politics. If we are being this rigid, then I want all Turks gone (or sworn fealty to me, LOL) from Khodorchur, Dayq province of Western Armenia. If we are being this rigid, then all governments in the world are illegal.

You get the idea.

And if we are, then why won’t we be even more rigid and ask how can one own a number? Which is ultimately any intellectual property. Piece of information is not a blockable resource.

And if we are not, then I don’t see any public value in an institution that harms people.

And there’s none, this is purely a device of power. When you realize this, and look at other such devices of power, you also realize that your society (as one that, well, imposed such IP laws on most of the world as a condition for economic interaction) is not free.

Shut down themselves even better.

I know those terms. I wanted to edit it, but was too lazy. You still did understand what I meant, right?

We don’t call a shell script “AI” after all, and we do call those models that, while for your definition there shouldn’t be any difference.

The real Skype was fine.

This Skype, I think, is just an ugly version of Teams.

Someone in here has once linked me a scientific article about how today’s “AI” are basically one level below what they need to be anything like an AI. A bit like the difference between exponent and Ackermann function, but I really forgot what that was all about.

Is WoW still that popular though?..

No. You are damn fucking well illustrating what I said, though.

This doesn’t make any sense.

Ahem, well, there are obvious things - that 2x2 modulo 3 is 1, that some vaccines might be bad, that’s why farma industry regulations exist, that pi is also unknown p multiplied by unknown i or some number encoded as ‘pi’ string.

These all matter for language models, do they not?

And you want an Ai that doesn’t offend these folks / is taught based on their output. What use could that be of?

It is already taught on their output among other things.

But I personally don’t think this leads anywhere.

Somebody someplace decided it’s a genial idea to extrapolate text, because humans communicate their thoughts via text, so it’s something that can be used for machines.

Humans don’t just communicate.

Thx, also the whole idea, I think, is presented better in Tao Te Ching.

You haven’t made any preposterous claims about my supposedly existing theories on climate change.

You don’t learn, do you?

My theories?

I mean, this is an example. A liberal trying to start an argument with saying things that are false, but in his opinion will lead to something good.

It would be the same with liberal talking points and in general any human talking point.

Humans try to change the reality the way they want it, thus things they say are always incorrect. When they want to increase something, they make it appear less than IRL, usually. Also appearances are not universal.

Humans also simplify things acceptably for one subject, but not for another.

Humans also don’t know what “correct information” is.

A lot of philosophy connected to language starts mattering, when your main approach to “AI” is text extrapolation.

Alternative facts, alternative liftoff, alternative attack, alternative growth, alternative survival

(It’s just a joke in Russia about state media using the word “negative” instead of alternative is similar cases to describe things falling apart)

They’ll likely want specialists from the one that does. Hence the culture.

I like Taiwan (I admire China as a civilization, and the democratic part of it especially), but chip production should be decentralized.

Bleeding edge is good and all, but there are plenty of applications where you don’t need anything near bleeding edge. While centralized production means centralization around one specific chain of countries involved in that production. A major center somewhere else would most likely have a different chain. A few major centers - even more. That would create redundancy and improve competitiveness.
