Comment Is copying a human trait? Is piracy copying? (Score 1) 149

Humans are the most adaptable creatures known. We copy others from the day we're born. I recall a "Pirate" political party from Sweeden that came about when The Pirate Bay was in its prime, along with the false arrests, Sea Land Passports, and other drama surrounding it. No surprise that the Norwegians, Sweeden next door neighbors, might also share similar views. To help explain the core of idea that the Piracy is Copying and Copying is the most human trait, please check out this video from Vsauce2 that discusses much of what I've covered in much greater detail:

Perhaps they knowingly deceive the masses with something believable, in order to gain consensus, to engage in some form of "adventure", with the hope that it all doesn't come crumbling down at some point. Nah, they'd NEVER do that!

To be honest, we've been in a public innovation vacuum for some time now; we do want to be entertained.

Paypal didn't work? - it works fine, no deception
Space X - Are you referring to the most successful and reliable space transport organization EVER?
Boring Company - still in development. success is limited thus far, but still not a lie per say.
Twitter - he forcibly scraped out miserable inflammatory GPT bot accounts pretending to be humans, IMPO the exact opposite of lying.

I have no clue what you're blathering about with regards to lies. If you don't like the guy, fine, but if anyone is being deceived here, its you lying to your self; the man is anything but disingenuous in his asperations about the future. Elon is on record discussing the importance of the truth, and the discovery of truth, and why its important to care about the truth. #GTFOHWTBS about lies. Shame on the moderators for +1'ing your comment.

Comment Where ChatGPT fails me. (Score 1) 23

As a technically minded person who has a broader framework in mind when I ask a specific question, I am frequently disappointed with ChatGPT inability to cease providing "guidance" advice, and only provide technical expertise. Sometimes it can bullseye a technical question like: how can I update or add an xml element to a specific file, using git bash. Conversely, when it's unable to provide a technical explanation for something, its like go do these high level things. I really want these chat bots to fess up; please say, I cannot do this, or I don't know how to do this; interestingly, it did request me to stop asking any further questions on the topic, and I was pleased at its directness.

Comment Yes its annoying, but I'm still a little sad (Score 1) 81

How the Korean age system was typically (and poorly) described: When your born, you are 1; add one year on January 1. Its more about tracking which year you were born in. Its hard for us to let go of the idea of the celebration of birth, or the measure of time spent out of the woom. To outsider, it feels really stupid when you imagine being born before the stroke of midnight on new years, and moments later, you're 2 years, old. How can you be 2 when you're only minutes old? The idea that you've lived in two different years has been lost in translation.
