This is very well written, and I thoroughly agree. But will we be able to stop the giant grind stone?

^lmao, even if they do privatize them, it will be done with taxpayer's money, also for bailing out, etc

i didn't say they were databases, i asked if there are components to the whole system, which must(?) include databases... i mean there must be something structured that feeds into this neural network (for learning purposes), it's not gibberish (or is it?) so my question was (is), does it need a structured and organized data set to be able to learn to think of a relevant output, or you can feed it random strings and integers which are only chunks of real data, and from it, it is able to make sense of it by completing the logical gaps by itself? again, i'm asking about the learning process here. and another thing: once a version of chatgpt is 'taught' something, is this knowledge referenced at some point when the user writes a question in the prompt, or is it performing the entire computation from scratch when the user writes a question in the prompt? i'm sorry if i'm prying, or sounding thick for not getting it...you can ignore me if i annoy you. so the neural network by ways of structure and recursion is making 'the magic'? do you know what kind of operations (functions) are assigned to an individual node in that structure?

the future wars will be narrated by a vocal frying valley girl "the allied forces LiTeRallY outflanked enemy positions, and the enemy was like, "oMG, what's even happening?!", but it was too late." #maneuverwarfare #aiassistedbattlefields

they don't have money for the roof repairs, so the order was to do it gently

@hello spiral .....y- yeah... that's about right it's everything i can't digest in one place

what i was getting at (and trying to understand myself) was it doesn't actually 'possess' knowledge, more like it fetches from its 'learned' repositories, or indexed registers + the user query sent from the prompt. meaning the real 'knowledge' it has, or is being equipped with, is data mining knowledge that can parse strings (also text recognition module for reading text in images), and recognize contexts and how contexts relate to each other on different levels. i.e. literature - classic - shakespeare - king lear, versus literature -scientific - physics -quantum electrodynamics, etc... meaning that it should understand these levels and the general knowledge trees must be strictly organized somewhere inside chatgpt hq servers.... or is it capable of making 'sense' of unstructured, rudimentary, reduntant, scattered pieces of information? it would be very interesting to have an insight into a sort of pseudo-code analysis of chatgpt's 'thinking' procedures, and how it stores and caches data. like how the neural-network topology recurses through itself in a way, idk. that seems pretty impressive, however, if i understand correctly, these are run by separate, optimized versions of chatgpt that cannot relate to each other in terms of being one interconnected entity?

i skimmed through the yt links you provided, and my first impression is that he must be a very positive guy with a good sense for party vibezz, but music-wise it's like tik-tok music drop-the-bass-autotune cheesy piano emotions kind of guy, or maybe i'm just old and listen to drexciya too much idk

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't it understandable that GPT "eclipses a person in the amount of general knowledge", since it has direct access to all digitalized knowledge base of humanity and can dig and search through it with immense speed? i mean, it's like you'd ask me "please elaborate on x and y", and then i would consult all the relevant documents and books and provide you with an answer. it would take me a very long time to do it, of course, but a processor can do this much faster. it doesn't require me to be very smart or conscious. nor i can't store all the available human knowledge in my head. hence, it's just a very efficient data mining algorithm that can output an answer in a concise and elaborate way because it was programmed to do so?

so glad to hear this. i need to get away once more from this dogmatic corporate science full of hubris and everyday lunacy just yesterday i was listening to magnetic wire recordings of african tribal songs (vocals), and it seemed to convey something profound and oddly familiar, as if it reached some primal genetic memory of mine. this, along seeing their ritual masks, it reminded me to bring back some balance from this obsessed urbanized technocratic world that surrounds me on a daily basis

do it. it's so much fun to sneak in places that are off-limits. but please be safe about it. once i stepped on a rusty nail exploring an abandoned pool house. didn't have my health insurance card on me, so i borrowed one from my friend. it was weirdly funny when the nurse called me by my friend's name. whenever i see a sign on a chain "no admittance" or something i get this urge to sneak past it. like a couple of months ago i was visiting a natural history museum. it was almost empty, just a couple of small groups and two ladies working the entrance and the first floor. i found an old door unlocked, and entered. it was awesome climbing some old creaky stairs and finding old smelly and dark places built 200 years ago full of discarded stuff, staff caffeteria, some old preparation rooms, etc. i visited a castle today, there's a small door leading to an attic, awesome stuff

still running win 7 was seriously considering switching to win 10 once i do a hardware upgrade steam will stop running in w7 in 248 days win 11 sucks big time i think win 12 will be even worse with the constant online/login/cloud shit

some tender pads

aye, the pads, the soul

from my recent visit to a stone quarry, sneaked in while it was closed

this is so stupid lmao

I'd add to that, which is probably most important happening right now is the completely untouchable strata of enormous capital holders, virtually exempt from legislation and accountability, that transcended its by-design-and-by-ideology separation from governments, wielding the power of the markets and the power of governments at the same time. Where governments shape its long-term strategy along with the interests of biggest corporations, effectively bypassing all 'rules' (if there ever were any) of the free market and separation of powers. The most recent example of this travesty is probably the race of semiconductor manufacturers against China. This is what really worries me. In the name of national grand strategy on world stage and inner stability, corporations are playing such a huge role, that the entities are no longer separate, but rather one huge funnel of capital and global power that shape the legislation for the benefit of a nation, and in reality, it's just opening the back door wide open to seize infrastructure at large and even shape diplomatic relations with other (allied) countries, where such national interests are also capital interests, and therefore further expanding into these 'acquired' markets (allied nations) by means of treaties (defense (offense really, i mean c'mon), commerce & manufacturing (taiwan), infrastructure (ukraine) and resources (also ukraine)). I'm just waiting to see how the west is buying up the entire ukraine by leasing military capability. The bill is getting heavier. You think Ukrainians have the ability to ever pay it all back? It's effectively the end of their sovereignty. I'm not trying to stir in ukraine per-se, just setting a most recent example.

as most of these seem to be different kinds of whale sounds, it got me going down the rabbit hole this is so fascinatingly beautiful

Don't listen to them, Mike. Sell your studio and machines and invest into some bitcoin. They say you'd be missing out big time if you don't, just remember to diversify. Make an altcoin and mingle with some bros and celebs, you can then get a role in a Marvel franchise movie. Those are very popular, I bet this means they're good! Then pull some strings and get into politics. I hear that UK prime minister position is a hot cake nowadays. Don't settle for less, man. Aim for the stars, you deserve it!

i love the expressions ?

that's more on point and eloquent

it's a matter of perception and boiling the 'issue' down to the factor that can be most easily worked with. however, there's a problem with digital people. they tend to be so full of themselves sometimes that they forget that all they have is a hammer, so everything is a nail for them. of course you can make approximations and simulate stuff digitally, but it's still just an approximation. even digital sound is basically a sinewave made from choped-up positive/negative increments, just the resolution can be very high, so our 'faulty' ear can't discern the difference. but with the brain, the thing is, no one truly understands how brain/consciousness work, and when you include particle physics/fields, things get even more uncertain (unknown). so in any case, making claims that everything is digital deep down, is simply disregarding a lot, which in the end might make a huge difference (so huge in fact, that one could be simply 100% wrong about the whole thing). sure, i've heard about the claims that the brain is both analogue and digital, but i still believe that is not the case. i mean we don't even have the means (capability) to measure things as they are - so we can't even know how they truly are (heisenberg. so how can we know those claims can be 100% true? things can appear to be dealing with two absolute values (on/off, 1/0, etc). but these are neurons we're talking about, and particle physics. my intuition tells me it's closer to analogue + control voltage kind of thing, with plenty of 'randomness' and 'errors', and simultaneous combinations firing at once, whereas, with digital you cannot truly have simultaneous processing. it's very fast, yes, and it can appear simultaneous when you view it with a certain distance of time resolution, but it's not.

it seems that calling this tech 'intelligent' is just a selling gimmick for the mr. money bags, and a trend-creating buzz word so the world starts to turn and face it (which in turn generates more interest of capital) true self-aware intelligence (i believe) is analogue. you can't replicate that with digital technology

great; so the 'truth' is just a compilation of most visible and re-iterated information of our own making, delivered back to us by something we call 'sentient' and therefore willing to believe as the word of our new god.
