Put this together using AI. Questions, comments, feedback, and hurled invective welcome.

We need pedagogy to displace ignorance and fear.

Soon, very soon, there will be no way to discern the output of AI from that of a human, just as there is no way to determine whether I added two numbers by hand on paper manually, …

I thought the word "artifact" gave a clue, so much for subtlety. Is there a reflexivity to avoiding AI?

Isn't that in the text above? Seems clear enough, no? I mean it wasn't like I asked how the day was going, there was significant prompting.

I had an interaction with chatGPT that I thought was fun and interesting for three reasons: 1) There could be something novel about this, even if it's just the way it all hangs tog…

Geometry is fundamental, period.

It might be better to think about what a horse is to a human, mostly a horse is an energy slave. The history of humanity is a story about how many energy slaves are available to th…

A better anology would be a virus. In some sense LLMs, and all other very sophisticated technologies, lean on our resources to replicate themselves. With LLMs you actually do have …

An LLM creates a high fidelity statistical probabistic model of human language. The hope is to capture the input/output of various hierarchical formal and semiformal systems of log…

A bad thing with some positive side effects is not a good thing. Wildfire is bad, too frequent wildfires will turn forest into savannah. I didn't see where this part of the analogy…

Again stopping the execution of the handler based on an ID is not idempotency, but rather a corrective measure due to the fact that the handler is not idempotent. Idempotency is a …

We are saying the same thing using different words. I view this as a strategy for dealing with a lack of idempotency in handlers with a great deal of overhead. So I guess I would c…

And most people problems are math problems.

I agree, this whole thread seems to turn the concept of idempotency on its head. As far as I know, an idempotent operation is one that can be repeated without ill-effect rather tha…

Time can also be viewed as a length.

Yes of course, not only can we but it makes everything so much easier.

It is interesting that we can measure absolutely every physical quantity in units of length and that our best gravitational theory is based on manifold curvature characterised by a…

Yes, just took a few seconds. It is of course a very well known result. Not sure why all the down votes.

Here is a thought; Instead of using F=ma, use the equations of motion from GR: ================================================================================ SCHWARZSCHILD METRIC…

Does the EU assume criminals are brainless? First, suppose two child pornographers get together and agree on a set of word substitutions that remove the key words and phrases deeme…
