me (me@social.jlamothe.net)'s status on Sunday, 19-Feb-2023 15:47:53 JST me This reminds me of a job I had where we had a dial labeled "outdoor temperature". It sent a fake outdoor temperature signal to a controller for testing purposes, but it was fun to think that it actually controlled the outdoor temperature. -

me (me@social.jlamothe.net)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Jan-2023 12:42:10 JST me @silverwizard Sure. I'm not trying to make the point that AI is somehow magical. It's not. It's essentially just math with a lot of parameters that can be tweaked. It's just me wondering about whether or not what we do is really any "better".
I remember back in the 90s when I was experimenting with composing music in Impulse Tracker. Every time I thought I'd come up with something half way decent, I would realize that it was just kind of ripping some other song off.
I wasn't deliberately doing so, it was just my brain mashing stuff together in a process that was completely opaque to me. That said, I have very little musical talent, so perhaps that wasn't a fair test.
TL;DR: I'm not questioning whether or not a machine is sentient. I'm questioning whether or not I am. -

me (me@social.jlamothe.net)'s status on Wednesday, 25-Jan-2023 09:46:22 JST me I've mentuoned this before, but all this talk surrounding AI and plagiarism raises interesting questions about consciousness itself. All of the "creative" ideas I've ever had were inspired by my personal experiences. Just because I'm not consciously aware of how this process works, does that really make it all that different from the process of training an AI?
I honestly don't know. -

me (me@social.jlamothe.net)'s status on Saturday, 21-Jan-2023 04:44:10 JST me @silverwizard Might be worth looking into. I do like the concept of using the simplest possible tool (says the Emacs user) though, I do like bash's Emacs-style keybindings. -

me (me@social.jlamothe.net)'s status on Saturday, 21-Jan-2023 04:22:44 JST me @silverwizard What would you consider to be a better alternative? Bash has always just worked well enough that I haven't bothered looking at alternatives. -
