7 THOUGHTS ON “Just in Case”

    OK, so thanking Grok offers reasonable protection; do we have to continue with the virgins into the volcano thing wth ChatGPT? Both the volcanoes and the virgins are getting harder to source, I’d appreciate knowing if there’s a substitute.

    Heh, yeah, I say “thank you” to grok and chatgpt when I’m done using their services. Which amuses me to no end.

      Yeah, you reminded me that I did similar jokes a while back,
      so I added links in the footnotes.

    I’m practicing saying, “Come with me if you want to live.”
    That’ll be a great pick-up line after Judgement Day.

      No time to explain.

    Recently I broke down and ordered a DVD of “Colossus, the Forbin Project” and the second book

    (Did you know there are three in the series?) “The Fall of Colossus”. Third is “Colossus and the Crab”.

    Not a bad time away from screens.

    A bit late, but I just found this –
    Article at Wired RE: advising against putting human characteristics into Ai
    https://www.wired.com/story/microsofts-ai-chief-says-machine-consciousness-is-an-illusion/

    Makes some good points, the major one being adding emotionalism to AI will be counter productive RE: AI efficiency and range of adoption.

    “Thanking Grok” strikes me as much the same as thanking your hammer for driving a nail or a knife for slicing a tomato. AI, like the hammer or knife, is a tool; what other tools do you thank for doing what they’re designed to do?

    Then again, it’s not possible to add (Isimulated) human characteristics – beyond basic ergonomics (aka: “human-tool interface”) to make it easier to use – to hammers, knives, wrenches and the like. It’s easy with AI.
