Is there a site with other good AI conversations like this?

One surprising thing is that my AirPods Pro could obviously deliver my voice to it quite clearly, even with the hoover going! I've never tested them under those conditions and assu…

I've had a few extended discussions on a bit of maths (Zeno's Paradox) as well as Andy Burnham, the new British prime minister, and it's been extremely informative.

I’m the top one! Interesting to see the hallucinations creeping in across the weaker models.

I could spend a very long time double-checking my sources, but I want to reply tonight, so please take the following with a pinch of salt, since it's largely from memory: 0. Descar…

On Asimov, much as I loved those stories as a teenager, it was only later that I realised the robot stories are largely explorations of how apparently sensible rule-based systems g…

I haven’t come across one, unfortunately. You’ll forgive the irony if I suggest talking to a frontier model like Claude about these issues; they are quite accurate, although they’v…

My background is in cognitive science and psycholinguistics. I spent more than ten years talking to first year psychology undergraduates about whether AIs could be conscious; also …

The point about confidence intervals is a good one and I'd like to see it more often. My neighbour Alan is a good farmer, but I am not.

His book 'On Liberty' is the subject of a recent In Our Time episode (BBC Radio Four series on the history of ideas) [ https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002pqnc ]. They discuss his…

I'm half way through this article. The word 'introspection' might be better replaced with 'prior internal state'. However, it's made me think about the qualities that human introsp…

Beyond consumer-producer relationships, there are many instances where an individual is required to deal with a baroque interface, as I just did when starting to look after an ill …

A quick note to say that at our local repair cafe we do a roaring trade in vacuum repairs for peanuts (not literal peanuts; though some of our repairers do get peckish). If you're …

The one about Victorian sewers is fantastic.

My summer project for my comp sci MSc was an open source natural deduction helper tool for the Mac, called Baker Street. I let it lapse simply because I didn't have time to look af…

My codebase contains a lot of Objective-C but I'm slowly replacing it with Swift. I rarely write Objective-C (largely because it's so easy to introduce bugs with release/retain she…

> Q: The reports about the Q* model breakthrough that you all recently made, what’s going on there? > A: Altman: No particular comment on that unfortunate leak. Interesting that he…

:-) Thanks. And for the lunch I believe it was the correct time but then it added a later event to book it (i.e. after the lunch), maybe at 5pm.

I like the idea but I’d prefer the flirting off by default. Also, I asked for a simple lunch appointment tomorrow and it suggested the lunch but added a reservation for later in th…

I see what you mean - five will fit with more room left over. But much like a hand that has a capacity to hold 7 or so marbles, if you grasp only five at a time, your overall produ…

An overview of the model and its history: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4207727/ The Wikipedia entry for WM is also very good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_…

Not sure what you mean by this, Amelius. Could you put this on our forum as a feature request?

New(ish) coder here. Yes, Scapple is still under active development and we have some exciting things lined up for iOS (no time frame as yet).

Location: UK Remote: Preferred Willing to relocate: Possibly Technologies: (solid knowledge of) Python, R, (stronger knowledge of) SPSS, SQL, PhP, HTML, CSS. Excellent Bash/Unix sk…
