April Fool’s came and went without surprise announcements that: - just kidding, the people that run the world are responsible citizens just trying to make things better for everyone. - Robots and AI will benefit everyone, not just the “owners”. - Fundamentalists and extremists are finally...

@Asian Nicole, so perfect and in so many ways!!! https://asiannicole.escortbook.com/

The above made me worry about both government misuse of AI but also the dangers of deployment of AI without making sure it is safe. We might see some AI autonomous drones kill the solders deploying them, or massacring hundreds of innocent people.

A friend of mine used to send me long text messages using voice to text and she kept getting angry with the mistakes. In contrast, having a background in programming, that tech really impressed me. In the years since that software only got better. AI has a host of problems now, but most of...

It could be one of two things. You might just have had an off day. We all have them - in fact I had one today (I did not see anyone). I just got through it. Tomorrow will be better. Or the chemistry just was not there for you with the SP. That happens quite a bit. Either way, wait a...

I asked Grok “Is it possible to recycle the water and capture energy from the water used for cooling in data farms?”. Sorry for the long reply, but it is interesting: Yes, it is possible to recycle water used for cooling in data centers (often referred to as data farms) and to capture energy...

Things are not moving geometrically, they are moving exponentially. My big concern is not the rise of the machines, but enormous power in the hands of a few irresponsible assholes.

I had a conversation recently with a researcher attending a conference on large language models. She is greatly concerned that there is a huge rush for capability with no attempt to deal with the consequences of AI and AGI. Ethics and safety are not being sufficiently built in. The...

I disagree, Rock Lobster was, for me anyways, truly original, and a lot of fun.

I finally enjoy hearing Enter the Sandman by Metallica again after a few years of being tired of it, having heard it too many times. The same applies to Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin and Hotel California by The Eagles. What songs have you heard way too much?

Don't you hate when people you admire disappoint you?! Of all people to be hanging around with Steve Banon and Jeffrey Epstein, it is incomprehensible that Chomsky would be one of them. And he gave advice to Epstein about how to handle bad press concerning sex with minors. He must of really...

Most people, even if they do bad things, have a conscience. But apparently one to two percent are full blown sociopaths or psychopaths. On that subject I heard an interesting distinction between the two - psychopaths are born without empathy, sociopaths have the empathy beaten out of them.

It is disturbing to realize that some fraction of all populations (I think one or two percent) in one way or another is just evil and completely lack empathy. They move among us unnoticed, and emerge when people are at their most vulnerable. I am reminded of that Rowdy Roddy Piper movie "They...

Yes it does smell. I make sure to wash really well before getting busy with my goddess.

What is the biggest drawback in Africa? An elephant's foreskin! Speaking of which, one of the drawbacks to aging (I am 63) is dry skin in unexpected places, like my foreskin (I was born in England, so I am intact) and two small spots on my face. For years I have used moisturizer on my face...
