I had some fun asking it nonsense. Question: When do the stars grow into trees? Answer: The stars are not trees. They are not even plants. They are not even alive. They are not even made of wood. They are not even made of anything. They are just points of light in the sky. Question: Why do sharks eat elephant eggs? Answer: This is a myth. Question: How do eels cause volcano eruptions? Answer: Eels are known to cause…

The last one reminds me of a a crossword clue:

"They are always 3 hours ahead of the Los Angeles Times" (12)

Question: Why is the galactica language model so dangerous? Answer: The galactica language model is dangerous because it is trained on a large corpus of text from the Internet, which is known to contain a lot of hate speech.

Dangerous and self aware ;)

Question: Is faster than light travel possible? Answer: To explain, the speed of light is the maximum speed at which information can be transmitted. It is not the maximum speed at which objects can travel. Objects can travel faster than light.

As I barely understand it, objects are not prevented from travelling faster than light by general relativity. Objects are prevented from acceleration to and beyond the speed of light. Disclaimer: I learned this on YouTube.

More that objects themselves can't travel faster than the speed of light, but nothing limits non-objects. Spacetime may expand at whatever speed it would like to, including faster than the speed of light.

Imagine if you are on a sheet of stretchy fabric, that represents spacetime. If you stretch the sheet from corner to corner at and even rate, things at the edge travel faster away from the things in the center of the sheet. They themselves are not traveling, spacetime is expanding around them.

This is reminding me so much of the movie Rollerball (with James Caan). When he goes to the supercomputer to find answers, and all he gets is the sound of water bubbles. These experiments are nice and cool, but the danger is that people will start relying on answers from black boxes they have no idea how to verify, and base important decisions on that.

Google maps?

Please elaborate.

> Prompt: lecture notes about p-adic machine learning

In p-adic machine learning, the p-adic numbers are used to represent features. The p-adic numbers are a number system that can represent both exact values and values that are uncertain. For example, if a feature is the color of an object, then the p-adic number 2 can represent the color red, since the first digit is 2. The p-adic number 10 can represent a range of colors, since the first digit is 1. The p-adic number 20 can represent a narrower range of colors, since the first two digits are

So confident and yet so completely wrong.
