AI Thread Summary
To gather detailed system information on a PC running the latest Ubuntu release with 4 MB RAM, various terminal commands can be utilized. For CPU details, commands such as 'lscpu' or 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' provide comprehensive information. To check RAM specifications, the command 'cat /proc/meminfo' is effective. Additionally, BIOS can offer system details without the need to modify any settings. However, for video parameters, further exploration at the OS level is necessary. Reformatting the system is not required for this process.

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...
