If it’s directed towards a person as an actual action instead of a generic desire for something to happen, it counts no matter what language you try to couch it in. President or not.

While most people and judges might let you off for using aggressive words in the moment, like, “I’ll kill you!” in a fight with otherwise no efforts to do so, you might still be getting a talking to from the FBI or secret service over targeting the prez with language.

lol

I speak knowing more than you. I’m also talking about “AI”. You bet your ass I know more about LLMs and other types of “AI” than the vast majority of doctors, including those with doctorates in computer science.

Interestingly, modern “AI” fits none of those definitions, either.

Focus group is the same group as those that do phone surveys.

Not representative of the norm, who like to do either about as much as jury duty.

Properly define “thought” as, “we made it reprompt itself with ‘are you sure?’ and that tooootally is the same thing as thinking, promise no backsies”, and you’d be much closer to the truth.

The intelligence is indeed artificial… Artificially projected onto LLMs via the ELIZA effect. There is no intelligence here. Neither from the LLMs nor the executives pushing this shit.

ELIZA effect is not and will never be AGI.

“it has reasoning skills” Nope. It has larger context windows and someone coded in the ability to reprompt itself for “thinking” steps that are literally just a new prompt with the same context that gets fed back in which merely increases the chances of it guessing the next output token correctly.

It still doesn’t “reason”. It still doesn’t know what the words mean. The modified algorithms are just attempting to generate the corrective prompts for you. If you’ve ever messed with them long enough, you’d understand that these, “no wait fix it” prompts have rapidly diminishing returns at the best of times. Their “thinking” is a bandaid, and a piss poor one at that.

lol no, no there is no equivalence between associating words with actual things and deriving further words, and calculating the likelihood of words appearing after other words. At all.

Notice how this video is less than three minutes.

No, no it is not accurate. At all. A toddler knows meaning behind words. Not too many words, but most toddlers understand there is connection outside of, “this other word likely follows this word”. LLMs do not. They have no concept of meaning. They have no concepts at all.

Still not random. Also not “intelligence” at all.

The big problem with Trek, at least for me, isn’t the continuity issues or not-entirely-hard-science plots. It’s the lack of internal consistency between series. Not in plot points, but in attitude and mood, and what ‘Trek’ is supposed to represent. It’s not supposed to be space drama with a bunch of immature shits running around with scifi tech. It’s supposed to be an imagining of a better future, where humanity has come together and gotten so cohesive and nice that they don’t even use money in their own economies any more. The drama and action is supposed to come from things going awry or other external forces, not humans being just as shitty as they are now IRL. That doesn’t mean the franchise has to avoid dark topics or stories. DS9 is great and does just that.

It’s depressing when it’s just random scifi with a coat of Trek paint instead of a better version of humanity facing problems.

He wasn’t the only one doing things and in no way slowed down the whole procedure. There are many steps involved in getting water going and connecting the hose is merely one step. They also don’t need the hose from a hydrant hooked up to spray what’s already in the tank unless they showed up empty.

int x = …; isn’t just a declaration. Both are totally fine in most modern languages.

The second camp is literally and unequivocally a cancer on humanity. Period. Full stop.

Biology can do far crazier things than color most of the extremities a different color… This is absolutely nowhere near enough uniformity or weirdness to declare it, “AI” … and I fucking hate “AI”.

I hate that it’s even a plausible question, but the basic pattern is in no way a sign of “AI”.

The religious stories were always allegory for real life (or outright history lessons). Then some absolutely evil pieces of shit came along and convinced followers that nooo, it’s not about this life! Your reward comes from working hard and being a good slave christian/muslim/etc, after this life!

The fact such blatantly obvious drivel convinced so many humans… Is why I know we’re not the smartest nor any sort of divine animal on this planet. We’re just the most egotistical and yappy.

Adult Jesus paid for my sins. Weird how he wants to spank his baby self so much. What a masochist.

Grosser things existing doesn’t make this magically OK.

High fiber content most likely. Fats (like oils used for cooking) and similar can also increase how fast things move through. Also just general different composition if you have a poor variety in your diet (like I do sometimes) can make for more surprises.

If you don’t normally eat a lot of fiber (like most people should do, especially old people), a sudden influx can really make for some interesting mornings, especially if there’s a lot for your body to clean out.

It could very well be clearing out some minor backup. You should analyze your diet for recommended amounts of fiber and other similar things and eat more of them, not less.

The poop doesn’t magically materialize. If you’re pooping more than you ate, you have backup, and should eat more things that keep your bowels going healthily.

P.S. You should get used to eating cooked veggies. That alone could be a good part of your problems. Some flavors are fantastic and you’re definitely missing out. Even some properly seasoned and baked brussels sprouts are delicious, and a lot of people claim to not like them (although they’ve definitely gotten sweeter and more palatable over the last ~20 years). Broccoli is great in many things, especially Chinese. Carrots are great in pot roasts. Cauliflower is delicious grilled and seasoned. The lists goes on… Though IMO, water chestnuts can fuck right off.
