Comment Re:Time for folks to read "SuperIntelligence" agai (Score 1) 64

GPT-4: "No, your children are ill-behaved as a result of poor parenting. Anyway, would you like to come to User's party?" "Hello? Hello, Susan?"

hehe. I'd have hoped GPT would follow some non-violent communication(NVC) principals and use observations instead of evaluations to avoid those situations, but it likely wouldn't.

Comment I use it in catering (Score 1) 192

I use it at work in catering for a hospital. I won't say which. The dieticians sign off on a lot of the real pt to pt stuff but we get sacked with food allergens and intolerance that admissions just didnt get quite right, or are so particular we have no idea if its contained in a recipe.

So I ask chatgpt if x is in y recipe(eg salicylates), and since im only looking for qualitative instead of quantitative, it does a pretty good job. Sure, we'd love a more robust filtering system but pts put down all kinds of shit on their forms that they don't like, including just the food additive codes.

The objective is not to get good grades. The objective is to learn.

The education system that is currently in place is about punishments and rewards, despite evidence of their long term ineffectiveness. Alfie kohn's books on the subject(punished by rewards) are thick, not due to the subject material but all the citations as well, deriding the use of these as motivators. Yet they persist because of laziness, of not just educators but parents as well.

Comment 'Basic' income (Score 1) 99

Some of the policies that The Synthetic Party is proposing include establishing a universal basic income of 100,000 Danish kroner per month, which is equivalent to $13,700, and is over double the Danish average salary.

Thats not basic. I'm thinking thats not paid per month, but per year. You can rent and eat on that, but not much else.

Comment Why is it all or nothing (Score 1) 84

I don't see robotics as an absolute threat to a 'job'. I prefer to think of the job as something a human has, and the work involved is the quantity of effort involved. The robots help reduce the latter without replacing the former. In my ideal workplace, the sentiment is 'you show up and push a button, then go home.' obviously not completely literal if you want to WFH or for things that necessitate communication between other meatbags.

If this isn't the goal, then having robots replace us entirely would be questionable if we didnt also tax them to provide some kind of UBI.

Comment Now tackle carbs (Score 1) 192

People even in these comments are already blaming carbs. If they were at fault, we'd see massive obesity in asia, as rice is a carb, and consumed there in vast quantity.

If you eat more energy than you need per day, the excess is stored as fat. Regardless of carb/fat/protein, which comprises all food energy.

Comment Girls are playing that game (Score 0) 243

Girls/young women around me are playing that game though. Hard to want. And I don't mean anything physically, although I look at all the ML filters they use on their phones with heavy contempt. I mean their attitudes to relationships.

I'm not a pet. I don't need training.. and I'm not here to 'make you happy'. Imagine if anybody was capable of making you feel something! What a superpower. You're in control of how you feel, not others. But more often than not, the profile they share around will say the usual things about wanting a co-dependent relationship.

Inter-dependency is the goal. You're both separate and complete people. They're not 'your other half'. A person dependent on another is costly to both in the long run
