AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around connecting a PlayStation 2 and Xbox to a wireless network. The PS2 has a USB port, but it's unclear whether a wireless USB adapter can be used with either console. The possibility of using a wireless access point to connect the consoles is explored, as access points can provide wireless capabilities to wired devices. The user is hesitant to spend around $100 on a dedicated wireless card for game consoles, especially since they found a router for much less. The conversation also touches on the importance of internet connectivity for online gaming on these consoles. Ultimately, the main inquiry is whether the USB port on these machines can facilitate internet access.

I know the PS2 has a USB port but not sure about the Xbox. does anyone know if i could use a wireless usb adapter to connect either one to my wireless network? i don't yet have an xbox but i do have a PS2.
otherwise would it be possible to use a wireless access point to connect either console through it. i believe the access points are usually used to give a wired router wireless abilities. kind of like a wireless hub i guess. i would like to use to receive the wireless signal and hook up the console to the access point. the only other option is shelling out about $100 for a wireless card made for game consoles. that sounds a little steep considering i found my router for significantly less than that.
thanks everyone.

i'm simply wanting to know if the machine(s) will connect to the internet throught the usb port.
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
