You think it is the same problem that I have. Writing by pen on paper, my spelling is better than keyboard typing, but I have not done that for quite some time, so the statement may have some backward temporal bias. On keyboard, besides hitting the incorrect key making some incomprehensible...

I have heard of that theory as being applied to robots. As stated in the wiki " hypothesized psychological and aesthetic relation between an object's degree of resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to the object." The Wiki states criticism, of the proposed theory, should be to...

That's one reason I didn't sign up for the one way trip to Mars. I had nightmares of being stuck with that family.

Is that Napoleon? He is just a bone apart from his dog.

That emphasizes is the other 'problem' associated with responses of LLM's from queries. Mostly, the hallucinatory aspect is easier to spot, sometimes not. False information, making stuff up, leaving stuff out, and people will buy into it if the 'lie' is not fairly obvious. The 'being...

Meanwhile, at the alternative universe hillbilly redneck research institute, Heisenberg on visiting his friend: I'm not sure, but I am certain your cat is dead. Schrodinger poking it with a stick: I think so. Been like that for 3 days now..

We have ample evidence of human effects at prolonged 1g and 0 g. For a short term, astronauts experienced gravity of the moon - Apollo mission - which as far as I know did not seem to be a problem. Extrapolation to the long term would not be good science.

ShadowKraz said: I do think that if we want to develop a non-biological intelligence/sentience, we need to re-think computing languages and hardware, to develop new ones that can handle multi-valued logic and reasoning. Easy to say in the general sense. Alternative AGI approach - bottoms up...

Not, "Like some women who want to get married because "He's so cute!" I put that in there because nowaday young ladies are more pragmatic - looking for "over 6 foot, and making 6 figures in his 30's"

As for 'aging', yes. the gravitational time dilation is insignificant, for say Earth-Mars. But hold on. GPS has to take the 'insignificant' time dilation ( both relative velocity and gravitational ) into account so as to pinpoint locations on earth's surface to reasonable accuracy. If that was...

Has this passed in the US? The article states it has been presented a few times. with some changes with support from a few tech companies and platform giants have voiced support, while other entities have voiced disagreement. The article is from May 2025 ( Bravo to the Times to date their...

Well oops. I gave a smilie in the Today I Learned posting. :smile:

Butt is a handy word to have around. Multifaceted, it can be a noun, verb, adjective, anything it wants to be. It tells its best features in butt naked, the butt of the joke, cigarette butt, butt out that cigarette, butthead, butt this board to that board, goats butt their heads in a fight...

Cute phrases are only cute in their own context, outliers proving the exception rather than the rule. "The early bird gets the worm" "It is never too late"

That could be a third way to regulate content - direct nationalisation of the media industry - so that only messaging supportive of the government initiatives are expressed. The government involvement that I was discussing is the development of a separate body with the powers of regulation...
