If they train it on Fox News or Trump it will do a whole lot more than not apologize.
What deletion? That is old news, I just doxed your mother; better go warn her about her meth lab being shut down! Oh, I sent your boss a bunch of emails talking about what you did to his mother last night... Donate some crypto by tonight....

They merely have to make a plug-in for a chess bot which takes over chess game questions. Sure, it will not be reasoning but operating another heuristic bot; but Turing's test is proving to not be such a bad one after all.

Once you've trained the bot to fool a person for everything they ask it's on to the next person until only some experts are not fooled... There are only so many tests most people can dream up and you only need to cover that large problem space. So, if it fools most people, is it alive? When it fools every human, is it alive? Simply saying it's intelligent because it can pass all your tests is one way to consider it intelligent. But is it really? what is intelligence and living becomes harder... How is this different than the problem of having a machine "think" better than a human at chess? or go? the game is now "fool most humans" at conversation.

Comment $1,000 a day? Sounds like a fee. (Score 1) 22

In many California cities, it costs almost that much just for a permit to have amplified sound at an outdoor concert for a few hours, on top of the venue fees. $1,000 a day for public advertising is priced like a fee, so of course they treat it like a fee. $100k per day would shut that down.

Christianity really wants to be monotheistic, so the Jewish god is the Christian god, his son is really himself, and there's this ghost involved too, but it is also the same. Not *the same* of course, they kicked a dude out for saying that, but the same. Oh, and don't say that what Jesus said is incompatible with what that god guy said, because that got another dude kicked out.

Never measured it but yes it is noticeable how much charge is lost warming the battery. It's not huge but it can be a problem. I plug in so I've never really noticed. We need to shift towards parking lots having charging. You used to have to stable and feed your horse while you visited... parking your horse wasn't free either... the city had to pay to have the roads cleaned; often! People are clueless wimps today.

You're nicely illustrating the issue with AI reasoning. Humans "reason" mostly by deciding what they believe then coming up with truthy stories to support that belief. When confronted with actual conflicting evidence or proper reasoning to the contrary, they make up more stories to "rationalize" it, or, that failing, make excuses.

The reasoning systems are generally made up of an LLM, a bunch of more general purpose neural network layers, and some conventional logic systems. The neural network part comes up with what it thinks is true based on its training, tries to get its logic systems to support it, and, as we've seen, often ignores the result when it doesn't like it.

The problem with AI "reasoning" is that it's a pretty good copy of human "reasoning."
