Beware the Great Eye of Google. Ever it roams, ever it watches.

Okay I misread that title as “Casio made a One Ring alternative”

I think that’s still different from what I’m thinking of of interim steps, though.

…but as I think how to explain I realize I’m about to blather about things I don’t understand, or at least haven’t had time to think about! So I’d better leave it there!

And I would argue that’s utter nonsense and the very existence of sane rational speech disproves it.

I reckon we can get a lot closer than an LLM in time. For one thing, the mind has particular understanding of interim steps whereas, as I understand it, the LLM has no real concept of meaning between the inputs and the output. Some of this interim is, I think, an important part of how we assess truthfulness of generated ideas before we put them into words.

That is a good point, though the architecture of computer neutral networks is inspired by how we think the brain works, and if I understand correctly there is some definite similarity in the architecture.

Lots of difference though, still!

I prefer to poop on a logarithmic scale.

Not advanced maths per se; neural networks are amazing! Fuzzy matching based on experience - taken to an incredible level. And, tuneable by internal simulation (imagination).

Oh we absolutely do. And we tell lies, and we misunderstand, and miscommunicate.

But not all the time, and not everyone. So if your friend if they’d like dinner, you expect the answer to be true to what they want, not just whatever sounds good to the general population. If you read a scientific journal, you expect the scientists to represent the facts and even the meaning of their research, not parrot some ideas from a half-forgotten textbook. And if you see a professional counsellor, you expect them to have a good understanding of human nature, and to genuinely empathise with your situation, and have good ways to help you out.

And of course all three of those examples fail sometimes, which is why as part of life we learn who we can trust and to what extent.

Ah, well, if the vegetable oil has been brominated by the council of bros, it should be all good, bro.

Rehab is Stardew Valley, right? Stop automating and just plant your crops by hand each day.

Say hello to the destroyer worm on Volcanus

That sounds legendary.

Only if you reroll it through your quality-modded assembler enough times.

Ah that makes cents.

True, one person needs an account. You used to be able to do Jitsi - and before it other webrtc calling solutions - with no account at all but now Jitsi also needs the first host to sign in.

But Signal calls, every participant must have a Signal account. The others, I can invite people to join with no account.

“Browser tech”? Just the fact you can make it work from a browser without needing to install anything else. Again, Signal isn’t set up for that kind of thing. It’s just designed and extended from a different use case.

Jitsi. Even zoom and teams allow joining without an account. Good ol’ webrtc and browser tech.

Yeah but all his hot air isn’t got for global warming.
