<p>I also want to know what substitute can swap in that can hallucinate the absolutely insane things we've all seen AI do??<p>I can't come come up with one (unless we program something to hallucinate ;)<p>Is that a failure of the example or the rule in neuroscience?<p>I extremely disliked that "rule" immediately, I'm quite sus on it.</p>

<p>I'm not sure anything has been made more clear at all. In fact, the paper appears to contradict itself, as it uses the most complicated possible everything to make this "simpler to understand"<p>Was that not the intent??<p>I think you went around in circles too much.<p>Consciousness theories must be falsifiable and inputs non-trivial - that is maybe the worse way to say that. Much of this could have been said better.<p>It reads like you are flexing your disciplines special words and language for normal shit -> a plumber can talk at you and you'll have no idea what they said too, especially if they try to do that.<p>As an intelligent person, who apparently understands this topic, an article like this can only be a flex for "job security" (like the plumber who describes plunging a toilet as the act of: "Hydrodynamic Pressure Rebalancing accomplished by a manual, oscillatory pressure-differential induction cycle.")<p>OR... they cannot simplify further due to lack of understanding of the subject matter.<p>I honestly am unsure what this is.<p>That is the nicest thing I can say.</p>

<p>Ahh, that was well written by a human, well done!<p>If that was more technical tho, like something more similar to technical writing... I would have had Copilot summarise it for me.<p>You are correct, the future is collaborative with AI, but not everything will still need to be collaborative...<p>Technical writing, like manuals and whatnots, that is simply akin to a math problem that, post calculator, has always calculated by calculators - even by people who didn't need them.<p>It will not be better, there is absolutely loss, it will still happen.</p>

<p>I think Palintr ought to be nationalized and placed under the jurisdiction of several competing watchdog agencies - it can generate automatically our annual, quarterly and etc datasets for specific, selected things.<p>Anyone in disagreement needs to read about Palintr and what has intentionally been said about it</p>

<p>It's a slippery slope.<p>ICE at one time was legitimate - their previous purpose had legitimacy... past tense.<p>ICE will not exist at some point in the hopefully sooner future than later.<p>No amount of nuance will change fundamental failure to success.</p>

<p>This is exactly what will happen and is well deserved/can only be expected.<p>The biggest problem with this, is the real reason we are sinking "drug boats" - "Pirate America" as I like to think of it.<p>You reverse engineer our tech giants - you don't get to participate in global trade.<p>Outside of an invasion of the US - something I don't know would even work (Canada full compliance would be required to have any chance at all) - I don't think there is a course of action to prevent/sidestep that course of action.<p>I assure you, the powers that be, already know this.</p>

<p>A genuine conversation about AI!<p>Actually, this is what I've been wondering since ChatGPT changed whatever they did recently - my interaction experience radically changed, not necessarily worse, not really at all less functional, but absolutely different now and I'm unsure how I feel about it.<p>I agree with redoing rules every update - and absolutely do rules, extremely clearly that you want legitimate critique and feedback, not sycophancy -> always test that functionality.<p>It does get tricky when they decide to interpret the same rules differently seemingly at random.<p>Also frustrating dealing with changes like what has happened with Copilot - the internal rules change so frequently and are so narrowly defined, it's almost pointless to even define your own rules for that platform.<p>Sometimes tho, I found it worked better to start something in Copilot and then bring it elsewhere after a point. I do a few things like that between AI</p>

<p>AI is software. It functions recursively, which means circular, it's always looping - stuff you say and suggest with stuff you liked that it said and adding that to delivering whatever it thinks you want now. It does not remember. It does not think.<p>A new chat is a restart - not in total, but you can do that too. It doesn't learn us - it cleverly delivers us what we have suggested we want to hear, what works, it does more of.<p>If you want it to do less of whatever - you do a new chat.</p>

<p>Challenging something with a question about it, is not adding to ignorance - if a statement/study/fact/belief can't hold to up to questions, from actual opposing critics, what's the point of that position existing?<p>Being all "PC" and "nice" about stuff that is what it is, or isn't -- THAT adds to ignorance.</p>

<p>That would require people that know about AI to actually choose to cancel it - which nobody that actually knows what AI can do, would ever actually do.<p>The Apple engineers, with their top level unfettered access to the best Apple AI - they'll convince shareholders to fund it forever, even if normal people never catch on.</p>
