Monkeys down the drain
Pointed by Denyse, this article by Arlie Coles is an excellent clarifier of AI. = = = = = START QUOTE: To find a math map between inputs and targets, neural networks need a lot of examples of input-target pairs. If you give people a puzzle like, “you want to turn two into four, and…

AI as seen by execs
The Ankler interviews an anonymous exec at Apple’s streaming service. He gives the industry’s view on AI and outsourcing, which we don’t hear much. We hear from AI boosters, and we hear from the writers and artists who are losing their property. The actual USERS have a hardass attitude, tempered by knowing what works. Hardass…

When a baron begs for regs
Sam Altman and other tech robber barons have been begging for more regulation of their AI product. When a robber baron begs for regulation, he’s instructing the government to LEGITIMIZE AND PREFER his company over others. If he begs expensively enough, his desires will be fulfilled. This was already obvious with Bitcoin Sammy, now it’s…

AI vs bitcoin
Just a rant. Curve fitting and simulation have been major tasks of paper math for thousands of years. Analog and digital computers were devoted to predictive simulations for 100 years. Using the curve to generate text is relatively new but it’s an inevitable extension of the earlier uses. Eliza was “creating” text in 1964, and…

Mabel would be proud
The 1920 phone operators didn’t win their fight against Strowger. One of the Hollywood unions, the Directors Guild, just won a fight against the new Strowger. Groundbreaking agreement confirming that AI is not a person and that generative AI cannot replace the duties performed by members. They also gained improvements in royalties and residuals, which…

Another stupid thought
Looking again at Janelle’s wonderful tic-tac-toe games with ChatGPT, where Chat confidently loses and “pompously” explains how each of its blatantly losing patterns is a definite unbeatable win. New thought: This duplicates a very old swindle in gambling. The scammer rigs the game in FAVOR of the mark, letting the mark win a meaningful amount…

More sanity from Lawyer Stevens
Lawyer Richard Stevens writes another splendidly clear article on AI and lawsuits. As I’ve noted before, it’s not mysterious. AI is a tool. When a tool is designed to cause damage or death, the MAKER of the tool is responsible. AI is designed to cause libel and damage and death. It’s advertised as a game-like…

Wonderful concept!
John Herrmann describes most of the tech tyranny as executive fantasies. = = = = = START QUOTE: Changing Facebook’s name to Meta was a bold attempt not just to rebrand a company but to set an industry agenda, and while it ultimately failed, it sort of worked, for a while. One question worth dwelling…

Easier solution
Elon is proposing ‘TruthGPT’, an AI trained to understand how the universe works. This would be ideal, but I don’t think you can get there with a language-predictive model. Understanding how the universe works is a muscle-sense problem, derived from long experience stored in genes and epigenes and cultures and cerebellums. The quick and dirty…

Dogs hate it
Generative AI is securitized IP. It’s identical to those Mortgage-Backed Securities that blew up in 2008. Suck up a million real houses and farms, mix the debt together into batter, bake it, slice the cake into a million pieces, each containing a hologram of the originals without any way of identifying the original property. Sell…

Same tactics
More clarity on the “anti” AI petition, which is obviously an attempt to snatch control of the process. From the belly of the WEF beast: Elon is the prime mover behind this petition. Interpretation: Elon founded OpenAI and now he wants to take it back. The petition will drive down the share price so he…

Wide open field
Great example of the more or less positive side of AI. One Redditor asked ChatGPT to write a poem about bitcoin. The result is excellent poetry. Full of meaning, solid rhyme and rhythm, reaching a persuasive climax. Reminds me of Longfellow. Humans abandoned poetry 100 years ago. Absolutely nobody is writing poetry now, so the…

Demons always change the rules
Bitcoin and AI are Tech Disruptors introduced by Deepstate at different times for different purposes, following the basic pattern of psychopathic obliterators. Bitcoin was purely social engineering, a meaningless bit of fake computer code that does absolutely nothing and serves absolutely no purpose. The social engineering did serve two purposes. (1) It sucked billions of…
