On: The Lighthouse: How extreme isolation transforms the body and mind (2020)

>Psychologist Sarita Robinson at the University of Central Lancashire, UK, says that hallucinations are common when people are in isolation, usually occurring if there is also sensory deprivation, such as being in a dark room.

Does the AI model hallucinations somewhat linked to this, does computer AI model too need some sort of socializing?

[rickydroll → 4silvertooth]

That's an interesting conjecture. Many of the attributes of AI that people object to (hallucination, sycophancy, psychosis, plagiarism, etc.) originate from human behavior. We see ourselves in the system and, in a way, are the ghost in the machine. So yeah, it could be that AI systems need socialization, and that may be a job for humans in the future. I'm now waiting for the first Dr. Susan Calvin.

Of course, yes. Yes. It is also sad when it is hungry so best feed it with its preferred food, which is dollars. Loves to eat dollars.

So, another religion ?

I think it won't preserve the index but it will recreate the index while running the text sql.

Typo in the article word imported should be important.

Thanks and corrected!

[4silvertooth]

Congratulations, you built and deployed that, you could register a proper domain name, pillu.ai is available. Also `anyone who works with their brain` in tag line sounds like a bit in harsh tone or like sarcasm you could change that. Just my input.

Give https://sciter.com/ a try. It's fast and small.

Humans have been driving cars since decades, how hard would it be to make a self-driving, well it seems it is difficult.

Because streets are not controlled environments. Planes have auto pilots for a long time, because air is a highly controlled environment with professionals agreeing to cooperate and making logical decisions (most of times).

On: All art is a copy of something

[4silvertooth]

After reading the article I was wondering is AI generated images Art! We showed them millions of images and it's reinterpreting those, in a way it's Art.

Oh I had some really good times with ohm editor, when I was evaluating ohm, although I could not use ohm for the project but I do miss such editor/visualization for any parser toolkit.

How about people just write the spec and AI give us the code on that, that would be mind blowing.

[pfdietz → 4silvertooth]

Less immediately plausible, though.

A system for converting a natural language specification document into a formal specification would be interesting.
