I think that you unintentionally hit the core of why things are turning into crap.


What is crappier: engaging text with colorful text that may offend people, or sterile text from an author afraid of offending a single person? I'm going with the latter.


The thing is that AI is completely unpredictable without human curated results. Stable diffusion made me relent and admit that AI is here now for real, but I no longer think so. It's more like artificial schizophrenia. It does have some results, often plausible seeming results, but it's not real.


You should always get as much redundant information as possible, instead of willingly deluding yourself with false certainty.


In theory, the theory and the practice is the same. In practice it doesn't.


I do believe the elderly gentleman was speaking in jest, from painful experience.


It is the modern lexicon, it's from the game of thrones.


I wonder if this is how birds learned to fly.


This is a (now 'deprecated') evolutionary artifact from that process, yes.



Once as a kid I caught a fly by its leg, it panicked.


It would have to be defined to begin much earlier, perhaps 26ky ago, when the mass extinctions and geological changes began to happen.


Why do I want a general purpose robot?

Why do you want a smart phone, instead of the telephone, contact book, camera, clock, alarm clock, radio, mail, credit card and so on?


My phone is not 100% general purpose, it is a compromise. I'm typing this on a computer not my phone that is right next to my keyboard because my phone is a bad compromise for typing comments. The phone works well enough that I'll use it when on the go, but only because there are times when hauling my full size computer isn't a good option, as soon as I'm using it I prefer the computer.

There is a lot of room for special purpose tools to handle more than one purpose while not being fully general purpose. I'm suggesting we never have a need for full general purpose, but there is for sure room for robots that do more than one thing but don't do everything. I might want the robot that sets and clears my table after meals to also gather my dirty laundry and when clean bring it back - but offload the actual cleaning process for both to specialized robots.


You're thinking of a fight scene in terminator 3.

Actually I was thinking of the Terminator 2 scene, but this one is closer to what the robot does with the head turning 180 degrees. Creepy either way.
