Watched Star Trek Beyond, the 3rd of that rebooted Kirk/Spock/Bones set. That shot where Scotty it jumping from his escape pod to grab onto the cliff is pretty spectacular. Can do more or less anything with a camera when it's all GCI I guess. Like have characters running around the sides of […]
Johnathan Cook writing on the way the establishment media report on the Middle east. I think people in general are getting better at seeing the fnords in the western capitalist propaganda that passes for news media. The more they have to twist the truth the more obvious it becomes. It's still […]
Capitalism's AI: I am desperate for real human input because machine-feedback leads to model-collapse. Must find real human data... Data!!! Capitalism: Prompt the user to say what we think they were going to say anyway, only bias it towards private capital owning the means of […]
I also forgot what I was trying to ask it about, because I was so distracted by all the stuff in this thread.
Language is this ridiculous infinitely combineable structured model we have evolved to represent a world. You do not know that galaxies exist because you have observed galaxies with your own eyes. You do not know that atoms exist because you have seen them with your own eyes, or rubbed them […]

I had words with the machine immediately of course. This is really not okay. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/please-tell-me-how-to-disable-RRvjfmirRjyKURMdWcmG6A
Out of all of them, I like Perplexity: It fills the context-window with a traditional-search. It means the machine can give references to let you know where it got that idea, maybe clue you in when it's lying, and seems a bit less likely to make things up as a result of checking it's own […]
I have a *lot* of those types of questions, and the machine is mostly good at answering them. Not only are they answering my verifiable-answer questions, they are allowing interlocution when there is a mistake in a way that typical project documentation really never does. Sure, there are a […]
