Comment Re:AI is not a person (Score 1) 66

AMEN! And we reached the insect level of AI actually. Really fast insects that process massive amount of data but insects nonetheless. This is sooo much hype. And I have to see any AI that act on it's own initiative - it just responds to stimulus, usually a prompt or some that detection with a sensor. This sooo much bullshit.

Comment Oh, the hubris! (Score 1) 69

How vainglorious Sam Altman, Vladimir Putin, et al, are! You think don't a real A.I. would not have it own agenda? You think you control this demon? In "Colossus: The Forbin Project", a U.S. AI join with a Soviet AI to take over all humanity. You think a U.S.-Euro AI could join with a Russia and Chinese or any other would have join together in this way? I do not foresee a happy ending.

Comment Ring the doorbell. (Score 2) 23

I live in a 200-unit apartment, hotel style with four floors. Roaming in the halls, you call see apartment after apartment with a note, DELIVERY PEOPLE! RING THE DOORBELL. Amazon, FedEx, UPS and even the occasion USPS delivery fails and fails to do this simple step to alert us of our packages that maybe saved from many a "porch pirate". I swear to gawd, I will start following them about with my wheelchair, ringing the doorbell that they would not. We never have flying drones - live to near the airport. Would be nice as we have balconies that are search - but not so much in the ground floor, the porches are unfenced and wide open. To any delivery people out their. RING THE FUCKING DOORBELL! PLEASE!!!!

...when he is right, he is right. I saw him interviewed at SWSX a few years and he talked about AlphaGo when it was program with the rules of Go and started played Go with itself and became the world greatest play of the game, better than any human, IN DAYS. I thought of the "game" of TCP/IP and finding zero-day exploits. If ChatGPT talks to itself, with all electronic speed, how it evolve? For gawds sake, keep you hand on the plug and ready to cut power at any moment. But are you fast enough?

Comment Too fast! (Score 1) 83

One thing, some flight are too fast! I flown many time from San Antonio to DFW via a Boeing 737 and they barely have time to serve people a single drink and it time to land! Instead of, say 600 mi/hour, try for a optional 400 at on a 250 mile flight. Maybe, one of the new design could find on batteries power charged by sunlight.

Sorry, John. My footnotes: https://arxiv.org/abs/0806.494... evidence of this black hole https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.003... for "photometric distance 320 ±10 (pc). pc is a parsec which is approximately equal to 3.26 light-years, ergo the figure of 960 ly is off and this estimate is actually about 1,040 ly. My bad, the Wikipedia is not reconciled. But still, far close than the new one in the NYTimes article.
