<p>I mean we do live in the Holocene interglacial and the interglacial won't last forever.<p>Obviously we have warmed the planet a great deal but I don't think that is going to stop the next ice age.</p>

<p>People at 75 fall off a cliff physically. Life expectancy is rising but that includes spending years in long term care. 70% of people over 65 right now will need long term care.<p>We like these type of stories because it reinforces all our denial about old age and death.<p>We worry about cancer and disease but the real problem is plain old falling. Fall, hurt your leg and then a spiral starts that you don't come back from.</p>

<p>A better example is the portrait painter trembling at seeing the first example of photography. You can pretty much see at any gallery when the camera changes art.<p>To me these arguments are by kids and art simpletons.<p>Art is always changing. As if the only true art is in making marble sculptures of Zeus.</p>

<p>I never went to that bowling ball place but that sounds like 90s Pittsburgh to me.<p>It was a very odd place. I think because rent for apartments and business was so incredibly cheap after the 80s that it attracted quite a cast of characters and many strange businesses.<p>I still like visiting but the city doesn't feel as "artsy" as what I remember. 
Starbucks replacing the Beehive is the feel to me.</p>

<p>Exactly!<p>I had it make up functionality of a python library and then make calls to functions that don't exist.<p>I imagine the further you move away from popularity, the more of a bullshitter chatGPT becomes.</p>

<p>I suspect this is what is at play. It is really impressive as long as you don't know enough to nit pick the output.<p>Trying to use it for things I know quite well has been terrible. I know nothing in this context so it impressed me.</p>

<p>This is basically the social media addiction bargaining version of "I can't quit drinking, I will lose contact with all my friends at the bar!. Just have to accept that alcohol is part of society and social interaction."</p>

<p>I just doubt this is true. I like to say and think I have no social media yet here I am.
I also spend quite a bit of time watching youtube videos and looking at youtube comments.</p>

<p>chatGPT is even worse. The less popular a python package is, the more bullshit is in the chatGPT answer. I don't know how many times now it has literally made up functionality that isn't there in a library. At least that obviously doesn't work.<p>I am going to try it with R though. Maybe that is the real power. Using it to write a language you hate and only the output matters with no regard to how you got there.<p>Anything in production though that has users is insane.</p>

<p>I can picture a type of adversarial situation with a generator intentionally trying write  bugs to fool a discriminator.<p>We can't forget that what we have now basically is the MVP of code generation.<p>We are at the deep dream stage in AI art compared to Stable Diffusion. Deep dream art was pretty much a one off parlor trick. Not a single artist in the world was upset by it.</p>

<p>I agree with Linux Mint but you can just download and boot off a thumb drive to try it out yourself without actually installing anything.<p>I would try Mint with KDE but also try a few other desktops. Maybe you will like them more.</p>

<p>Not to mention Photoshop. The problem is I honestly think if Photoshop came out for the first time in 2022 that it absolutely would get banned and be considered far too dangerous.</p>

<p>We have so much muddled thought in our language.<p>Even adding "true" is not ideal as that implies there is "true understanding" and just plain old understanding that is a lesser form of true understanding.<p>Now we have gone and built large language models from all this muddled thought.<p>To me, chatGPT is filled with a new type of invisible super bug. Millions of them.</p>

<p>What is so interesting to me is how much bias we have that my "understanding" of what you wrote is something additional to a Chinese room.<p>IMO it is because no matter what people say outwardly, most people will not give up their "souls". They will even defer to some as yet undiscovered and unnamed property/process.<p>"I "think", therefor I am not a Chinese room!" is not a strong argument.</p>
