Dear David, Matt and Jon, thank you for helping me to figure out the dual color brush options in Krita, which are so so many I still can't believe it. And it works like a charm. I am very very grafefull.
A mí de pequeño me dijeron que todo dato que leyera de una enciclopedia (sólo había en papel) debía ser verificado en una fuente primaria, de la que debía evaluarse su credibilidad. Nada debía ser creído tal cual. Porque incluso textos redactados por eruditos y revisados por varias personas contienen sesgos y errores.
Partiendo de esa base, creer para algo importante lo que dice una IA sin comprobarlo es increíblemente estúpido. Y para algo no importante, tampoco es especialmente inteligente.

El airado manifiesto de las asociaciones judiciales ante el espionaje al juez Ruz por la Stasi del PP y el de la Apeeme sobre El Hermano Berengario del PP que llama "periodismo" al escuadrismo fascista quedan pendientes para después del puente.
Hoy, solo masibón.

I saw a discussion about oil prices, and it reminded me of something that is truly rare in this day and age:
I still go to the full-service gas (petrol) station near my house, run by a husband and wife, and they have those old-timey pumps where the numbers roll by on a cylinder. They have two: one with ethanol and one without.
Tammy comes out to the car to pump your gas, and if you need anything else, like air in your tires, you roll in front of the service bay and Marsh takes care of that (for free, unless you need a nail removed from a tire and a plug, which is five or ten bucks). Tammy always brings me peppermint sweets with my credit card receipt to sign. And I ask about her family, some of whom I've met, and the latest cruise they went on. She also gives me suggestions for where I can get more fun funky clothes that I like.
I can get pics or videos if Y'all ever want to see the old pumps still in use in this day and age.

Just found a real Mandelbrot fractal happily flourishing in its natural habitat... 😁
Están de moda las historias de adolescentes matándose mutuamente, y El Señor de las Moscas es la gran historia original de críos matándose mutuamente.
Historias de críos trabajando juntos y llevándose estupendamente no venden tanto, por mucho que sean mucho más realistas.
También es cierto que entre críos no es raro que se condene a uno de ellos al ostracismo, o que uno de ellos se ponga dictatorial con el resto. Pero lo cierto es que cuando se trata de cuestiones de vida o muerte, invariablemente se vuelven tremendamente colaborativos y disciplinados.

Found it after some searching:
But now, as an evolutionary biologist, I say the following. If these creatures are not conscious, then what the hell is consciousness for?
He's missing the point. Intelligent, conscious beings devised speech and came up with all human utterances. An LLM just copies and pastes bits of language that humans have already uttered. What the two entities do is not the same at all.
According to this theory, pain needs to be consciously felt in order to be sufficiently painful to resist overruling.
Again, no. If Dawkins had ever written an optimiser, he'd know that's not true. As you will know (but bystanders may not), you write a cost function (which says how bad a solution is) and a bit of code to find some configuration with a suitably low cost. If there's some configuration that you want to forbid absolutely, you give it such a high cost that the optimiser will never choose it. I've done this, and it works. There's no need to posit consciousness in a piece of software.
This article is sloppy in too many places for me to take it seriously. I agree with you: he has AI psychosis.

This #PoliticalCartoon by Bill Bramhall shows some of Trump's goons overreacting to James Comey exercising his right to #FreeSpeech. The court case brought against Comey is a waste of time and money.

Steve Rattner: "Trump's net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. The Trump Administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history."

M€ta descargó ilegalmente más de 80 terabytes de libros de LibGen, Anna's Archive y Z-library para entrenar sus modelos de IA.
Aaron Swartz descargó 70 GB de artículos de JSTOR (el 0,0875 % de lo que hizo M€ta) en 2010. Y tuvo que enfrentar una multa de un millón de dólares y 35 años de prisión. Se suicidó en 2013.
I'm a bit sick of the poker table metaphor.
It's a war, not a game. Even if the stakes were the same, the rules and the strategies are totally different.
The main reason Trump has stuck the US in this nonsense is because his point of view is the one of a poker player or a businessman, which is a totally absurd take on it.
War is not logical, is not simple, is not a matter of pressing. It is highly illogical, wildly chaotic, and there is no way those morons at Washington are going to fix it in a way that Trump can paint as a victory.
Which is really bad, since they are the only ones that can realistically can fix it. And Trump never concedes defeat.
Well, one of these two things have to yield.
