When someone online claims that LLMs aren’t AI, my immediate response is to ask them to prove they are a real and intelligent life form. It turns out proving you are real is pretty damned hard when it boils down to it. LLMs may be narrow AI, but humans are pretty narrow in our thinking as well.

I started a project back in January. It’s not ready for the public yet, but I’m planning for a early September release. Initially I don’t think it will be capable of much, but I’m going to be training it on various datasets in hopes that it is able to pick up on the basics fairly quickly. Over the next few years I’m aiming to train it on verbal communication and limited problem solving, as well as working on refining motor skills for interaction with its environment. After that, I’ll be handing it off regularly to professionals who have a lot more experience than me when it comes to training. Of course, I’ll still have my own input, but I’ll be relying a lot on the expertise of others for training data. It’s going to be a slow process, but my long term goal is a world wide release sometime in 2043, or maybe 2044, with some limited exposure before then. Of course, the training process never ends and new data is always becoming available, so I expect that to continue well beyond 2044.

Start off with the Children of Time series, there’s no reason not to. Well written, great story with memorable characters, and a fantastic hard sci-fi twist on what intelligent life really is, and how we think of ourselves and others.

Oh, for sure. I hate spiders, and I was loathe to read it, but damned if I didn’t enjoy all of them.

Adrian Tchaikovsky warned us of this.

Wooooooo. Goddamn. Give that man a standing ovation.

The only Nazi paraphernalia I collect is scalps.

That’s like collecting Nazi paraphernalia

Yeah. What I want is a bunch of fair weather fuckwads that will turn coat as soon as it suits their “needs.” I don’t want another Fetterman. That red hat is a scarlet letter. Let them fucking rot. Cowards all.

There’s that 30% again …

It’s only libel if it’s not true, Donny.

“Do you want the mustache on or off?”

“Off.”

“Too bad.”

Get him and John Stewart back together. Throw in some John Oliver, too.

And a vain condition.

Trump is a pedophile. We’ve known this for a decade plus. Let’s go ahead and move on. Nothing is going to come of it. Releasing the client list or not won’t change anything. This is all a distraction from the world crumbling around our ears.

At this point, I’d rather have Zaphod.

I miss Trillian.

WhY Don’T TeH DEmS ReLEAse ThE LiST?

800?

Eight. Fucking. Hundred?

Ban me. I don’t give a fuck. If someone abused anywhere near 800 children then they just need to die. We are infinitely better off without.

People write with poor grammar, repeat words and phrases, and spout lies they believe are true all the time. AI isn’t doing anything humans aren’t, we just decided it was not supposed to for some reason. “We taught that dog to shit, how dare he do it in our own back yard.”

Goddamn that rules text is a jumble. Maybe it’s time to take a step back WotC and just have a Trample expansion…
