Oh man did the 2/3 books suck, and some deranged violent rape narratives about Corbin's wife. WTH?
yeah, that book 2 was just terrible and pointless. Dude must had issues with his wife or girlfriend.
As for 3, “Hey Geek Squad, I’m having issues with my laptop, I think it’s radiation from the crab nebula.”
montag? as in Montag from Fahrenheit 451??
The same! Send packages to Block 813, please.
I had my kids read Animal farm, 1984 and Fahrenheit 451.
“it’s a technology race we can’t sit on the sidelines and watch.”
Exactly. It’s the new Atom Bomb. Your enemy is going to advance toward it as fast as they can. Do you want to be in 2nd place?
Yesterday I asked ChatGPT about the React Native software framework and what was ‘JSC’ and ‘Hermes’. I kept seeing the two being referenced in the software build configuration. It immediately explained they were two JavaScript compilers and that as of version xx Hermes replaced JSC, a change in architecture.
I could have ‘googled’ it and spent an hour pouring through various links to figure that out. ...or spend 30 secs asking the question on ChatGPT. Yes, it is a ‘trust but verify’ approach, although the answer in this case made so must sense that it wasn’t worth spending more time on.
Rinse, repeat. After an hour long discussion, I can then ask “write me a summary of our conversation as a template for a presentation”. Boom...and there it is. I can’t state how much time it can save when used effectively.
While ChatGPT isn’t ‘thinking’ - that it can break down a problem, proving it’s work, and write some math/code/etc, write summaries, etc., blurs the meaning imho. Even if it isn’t exactly right, it gives you a basis of what are some of the considerations or a starting point of work.
Thats pretty amazing. I was shocked by Bard showing it’s work. I’m sure it’s not nearly as advanced as Chat, but still amazing.
I later questioned it by asking it something was a paradox or hypocrisy. Then I asked it what were liberal beliefs. What it came up with was so not a liberal belief system.
Then I asked it something to the effect of “if liberalism believes all points of view are accepted, why isn’t conservative ideas acceptable”, is this hypocrisy or a paradox.
It countered with a very fluid answer about how there are varying levels of liberalism.
I thought it was a pretty interesting conversation
Some here dismiss it as ‘garbage in garbage out’ and ‘just another program’. It is not. I’ve been a software developer for over 30 years and this stuff caught me off guard - it’s not just the volume of information it has been ‘trained’ on but the neural network architecture used to process it.
Yes, when you converse regarding political and social issues you’ll often get very PC answers. I’ve had fun leading it on certain questions (on Christianity, Islam, LGBT, etc.), separately, then ask it to reconcile different answers. You can see it squirm almost like the morons on TV....resorting to “there are considerations regarding the era and culture”...blah blah, to excuse Islam. It could seriously replace the majority of liberals giving an opinion.
One thing that I focus on though, the specificity of questions. I wonder what the answers you got might have been different when using words like ‘liberal’ vs. ‘leftist’ vs. ‘progressivism’ vs. ‘classical liberalism’. Even Bill Maher is coming to the conclusion that many of the ideas coming from the left are not ‘liberal’. I agree, I might call myself a ‘classical liberal’ - in that I believe in liberty, free speech, decentralized power, limited authority, etc.. Although I wouldn’t because people would probably misunderstand me, conservatism isn’t antithetical to _classical_ liberalism (imho).
I even tried getting ChatGPT to play creative adventure games, which it did! I asked, “let’s play a role based adventure game, based on the book ‘The Hobbit’, where I have to search for, and find a way, to recover the treasure from the dragon” (or similar). It’s response, “Sure! You find yourself in a wooded area, to the east you see a path deeper into the forest, to the north a flicker of a camp fire, (etc) - what would you like to do?”. I formed alliances, traveled in boats across a river, and battled the dragon, etc.. Unreal. From a prompt.
It can write songs - I gave the prompt, “write me a love song about a couple that meet in the Italian Alps, during winter, on a full moon evening, in the style of Metallica”. And voila! I was giggling at the result.
This stuff isn’t normal. I’ve heard some here dismiss the technology as ‘a fad’ or just another ‘program’. It’s not and it’s in its infancy. I’m just waiting for somebody at work to say “ChatGPT disagrees with you”. Then what? Who can argue (with the beast)? This is where we’re heading imo.
” Who can argue (with the beast)? This is where we’re heading imo.”
IMHO, that is exactly what it will be.
Is it a fad? Nope, it’s the next great leap.
Garbage in garbage out? Yes, liberal spew.
While Bard didn’t say it, it gave the classical liberal stance you stated.
