That’s fair I just enjoy listening to lots of perspectives and these were certainly interesting

I’ve had some good success on a couple of interesting scientific questions with chatGPT. Where google didnt so well.

  1. Understanding why humans arent cardio fit without training. I.e. that seems a good evolutionary advantage.

  2. If lemons and oranges can cross pollinate, why arent they the same species.

The fact you cam go back and forth and clarify and follow up is pretty amazing.

It wasn’t plausible, which is how you could tell it wasn’t true. Certainly figuring out how to get advanced AIs to do good stuff and not bad stuff is a real challenge, but making up silly fantasy scenarios is a bad way to get a handle on it.

Im assuming all these calls to regulate AI is really about limiting competition?

I find Qwitzatteracht, the golf game, super fun and cool. It’s an awesome workout!

Just planting this here so we can look for it in future AI bots. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36187994#36190660

To be fair, it’s number 1 joke is actually the best joke of all time.

I have successfully used this joke on the fly. My sister was camping at a festival when she joined our weekly family zoom.

It’s one of my proudest moments.

My kids played a Nintendo or Super Nintendo game. It was described as a fighting game with werewolves. Can you think of what it might have been?

The game you’re thinking of is probably “Altered Beast” which was originally an arcade game by SEGA but was also released for various platforms. The game features characters who transform into different creatures, including a werewolf. But note that it was not released on Nintendo or Super Nintendo.

If the game was specifically on a Nintendo console, they might be thinking of the “Castlevania” series, which features a variety of supernatural creatures, including werewolves, but is more of an action-adventure game rather than a fighting game.

Alternatively, there are also some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games on the NES and SNES where some enemies could potentially be described as werewolf-like, though that’s a bit of a stretch.

However, none of these games are specifically fighting games with a focus on werewolves.

There were many games on these platforms, so without more specific information it’s hard to identify exactly which game you’re referring to. If you have any more details, feel free to share them and I’ll do my best to help you identify the game.

Altered Beast was right! It’s witchcraft.

Good summary with new information from judge questioning lawyer regarding why he shouldn’t be sanctioned. Judge hasn’t ruled yet, but he definitely doesn’t sound happy.

Very interesting read on how AI could become dangerous.

Also. Nicholas Thompson is an essential follow. (Former head of Wired, now CEO of the Atlantic. I’ve follow him on LinkedIn but I assume he’s everywhere

It’s hard not to notice that the piece starts out with all these formal reasoning pretensions (definitions, claims, numbered hypotheses), but then midway through the piece, the author realizes that he can’t prove anything substantive with them (he maxes out at “a potentially rogue AI system could be built, as soon as the required principles for building superintelligence will be known”—note that despite being basically trivial, this does not actually follow from his premises lol ), so he abandons that and just starts making up a bunch of sci-fi shit.
