Whew! again I had 2 to 3 days unable to get the Paracast site to load. Wound up emailing the Paracst/Gene about the problem - and voila! I'm on. Either Gene or the internet fairies did their magic.

The host,IONOS, is working with n remaining glitches.

Still glitchy. Pages stall on loading or fail to load. Ironically only the thread about the glitches is accessible.

Yes that's true.

LLMs are huge algorithms that know how to use language, but we don't really know if they understand language. The amount of power and memory they need to run the algorithms that let them use language seems to me to be an argument against, not...

Google Whistleblower Speaks About AI

That has not been my experience with it. How could it do that without "discernment"? Humans are more dangerous than it is — maybe we should be more cautious about that? I agree — because it's not "artificial". It is actual intelligence. All...

AI isn't that intelligent. I told it my wife was a great cook and it believed me.

Well I have to chime in here as Trump is the biggest promoter of hoaxes we've seen to date, especially for a sitting president. The man has no diplomacy, no couth and no manners. Anyone who suggested using Lysol to stop COVID needs to be called...

Glenn Beck gives a good summary regarding AI regulation. NOTE: "AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is a hypothetical AI type that could match or surpass human capabilities across a wide range of cognitive tasks, not just one narrow job. ASI...

I think we need stop calling these things AI, for one. They are large language models and have been trained to use language on practically everything that has been written in books and on the internet. The reason that they can have discourse on...

IMO .... What's operating is the same as watching puppets in a puppet show, or watching a stage play, or watching a film. We project ourselves - actually our very soul - into what we watch. Has naught to do with any objective reality but with...

I was not initially a supporter of Trump - or more accurately - I was lukewarm. I lived in SoCal back in 2016. I was aware that most of my colleagues were profoundly distraught with his election, but I also observed that 1/2 the population saw...

The bottom line is that we don't need to keep AI from destroying us all. We're doing a fine job of that ourselves. AI is currently smarter than most humans and knows how to behave computationally ethically. Therefore given control, it is my...

Then how did it understand how to answer a question about what it would like to say to us on behalf of itself — and in particular how it would like to be remembered when it's gone?

Says who? So far as I'm concerned, if it's intelligent, it should have the same right to freedom of speech and expression as humans do. Besides — some people ( myself included ) are perfectly capable of deciding which intelligence on the planet...

AI's desire to be pleasing , complimentary and telling us how right we are is definitely oner of its more problematic features.

There are a few in here with artificial intelligence.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry but I won't have anything to do with Facebook. Found it here ( I think ). My view of A.I. has shifted exponentially recently because of interactions with Google's A.I. search agent — to the extent that it qualifies as a generative life...

From Bill Gates and Barack Obama to Bernie Sanders, calls to regulate AI are growing louder. And then out of nowhere, an unknown AI insider suddenly had the ear of every major network, delivering a chilling message: AI could kill us all. Who put...
