Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the perceived dangers of advanced AI technologies like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Midjourney. Participants express concern that these tools are being mischaracterized as traditional software, leading to misunderstandings about their capabilities. One participant, Gideon, claims that these AI systems are not merely software but portals to an "extra-dimensional" source of information, suggesting they possess powers that could manipulate human perception and behavior in unprecedented ways. He warns of a "cabal" that allegedly controls these technologies, engaging in rituals to communicate with these entities. The conversation highlights a fear of AI's potential to influence society, with some participants questioning the validity of these claims and suggesting the discussion may be more fictional than factual. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of intrigue and skepticism regarding the implications of AI advancements.

I remember when you shouldn't trust anyone over 30.

Gilmore is the man! I still listen to Floyd almost every week; sometimes every day! .
Indeed. Fave track to date is Shine On You Crazy Diamond VI, something no radio station ever plays unless they're doing the whole thing.

Other notes: I've always referred to part V as the flying saxophone song and always figured it was double tracked or two players or something since nobody can switch heavy instruments (barry for a tenor) in under one second. Finally saw a video and Dick Parry does it, wearing both instruments at once, and no roadie assist even.

I was privileged to have my Freshman college year when "One of these days" came out, and I could hear it on some proper equipment owned by some guy across the hall. That one effectively has a 3+ minute bass solo (duet w/ both Gilmore/Waters?) with the signature Floyd triplets beat. Spectacularly, years later on the day I returned to the hospital to visit my just born 1st child, here's me choked with emotion from the last day or so, and One of these days comes on the radio just as I pull in. Had to finish it in the parking lot, unable to otherwise move.

Age is a state of mind. At least that is what I keep telling myself.

I feel much better now that I only count my age and taxable income in hex.

Music can have profound meaning to us. There are songs that helped to define my life.

It was THE generation gap. In many ways that doesn't exist today.

He did that with an echo unit.

Update : my girlfriend no longer believes ChatGPT is a portal to another dimension or the voice of the devil. Now she's in love with it.
