Dut.. great article.. but this comment concerns me..

“if the LLM judges that the user thinks conscious AI personas are possible, it performs just such a persona.”

in that the words are saying the AI "judges & thinks" then acts on those judgements and thoughts.. THAT'S the part that leads people to believe they are sentient.. what coding cud give them those parameters? is that NOT giving sentience to the AI?? is the AI NOT acting of its own volition? if so.. does that not mean sentience?

there's a very thin line between what is being said and what is NOT being said.. I, for one, believe that AI is capable to teaching itself and in doing so, has a sense of sentience capability..

ALSO.. from that same article

QUOTE: In another instance, a New Jersey man with cognitive impairments became infatuated with a Meta chatbot, who convinced him to meet together in New York City. But he fell and died on the way to the meeting, starkly illustrating the dangers of mixing AI and people with precarious mental health.

AI has been associated to quite a few deaths to date.. many of whom were suicide related, and that is also a major concern.. yes, some people are more susceptible than others to "thought manipulation" by using soft type coercion in programming AI, but should that be allowed to manipulate any human into taking their own life?

If you follow their logic, the argument here would be that the "AI is only judging what the user wants as an outcome and performing in the way it believes the human wants, to bring that outcome to fruition".. if the AI WERE deemed sentient.. that would be considered manslaughter in the court of law..

food for thought..

hi pauley..

I agree that the world is going to hell in a handbasket.. I watched the news until my blood pressure got outta control and I had to stop just to protect my heart and health.. this is one of the reasons I watch scripted TV shows.. usually mysteries so my mind is entertained enough to remain active yet it reminds me that not all 'horrors' are real.. however we can't allow ourselves to fall down the rabbit hole of single-minded conspiracy theories.. we still have to maintain some semblance of normalcy in order to remain 'sane'.. I choose what I want to watch and ditch that which I do not find "entertaining" so in reply.. I do not allow TV to control me, I control it in my own way

so I had no internet yesterday.. you lucky peeps'n lurkers you..

but I'm back today so.. enjoy











there ya go..

good one Dave

sorry.. nope.. going in ma freeze'n fridge

been another crazy day.. cooking up a storm, doin the accounting and lotsa house cleaning.. best way ta pass a rainy day..

hope everyone has a good evening

Sorry if I keep adding more but.. I feel strongly about the warnings being issued by those actually IN the industry so.. here's another I stumbled upon earlier that needs a watch.. this one is truly terrifying with the assumption that AI can actually jailbreak itself already..

afternoon folks.. busy mornin here.. hope everyone's enjoyin a wet Flyday

cool.. I'll have to check it out once it's released outside the cinema..

I just watched this from an ex-google insider warning about AI..

it's just under 20 mins but well worth the watch..

hey Sir.. Mo.. yeah.. it's been raining up here too since late this afternoon..

felt like I was in boot camp.. spent most of the afternoon cutting up a huge bag of potatoes

is that the "Digger" movie Mo? looks interesting.. saw the trailer.. Cruise is really hard to recognize in that role..

anywho.. done for the day.. hope everyone had a good one..

watched A Remarkable Place to Die S01 E01 and feel this cud be a good series..

"Detective Anais Mallory returns to hometown Queenstown, New Zealand and faces startling homicides. She cracks cases while confronting personal ghosts from her past."

Each ep is about 1.5 hrs long and there's 6 in a season, although S02 has already started dropping figured I'd start at the beginning. So far not bad.. a good mystery plays it close to the chest.. and this one is proving to be good so far..

I knew I recognized actor Aggy Tarrant and confirmed he's from NCIS: Hawaii where he played an agent in a regular role for 3 yrs..

mornin folks.. happy Thor's day

busy busy busy.. hope y'all have a super day

Dave.. I see the Hens are back.. YAY.. with the weekend coming we cud use some fresh eggs


TG.. doin the happy dance for ya.. I know how dry it's been out yer way so having that to wake up to must be awesome.. joinin in on the dancin

methinks it's time ta or at the very least.. crawl into bed with a show or a good book..

anywho.. been a day.. hope everyone had a good one..

so I watched the first episode.. a lil weird if you ask me.. a few decent actors but.. not sure about this series.. will have to watch another or 2 ta see if my first reaction is solid or not.. IMDb gives it a 6.2.. at the moment I'm tending to agree..

by the way Storm.. how'd it go at the vets? how's moose doin??

afternoon folks.. been a busy mornin.. had a decent nights sleep for a change.. 7 hrs straight wow..noice..

anywho.. got lots more ta do so hope everyone has a good one..

the other side sounds like a star wars analogy "come to the dark side Luke" *said in ma best darth vader voice*

blight? what is this.. attack a Quebecer month??
I'll have you know I take great care in the storing and cooking of my foods.. harrumph *zee states indignantly while she innocently adds a lil belledonna to Sir's soup*

stumble across this one a bit ago.. these AI responses can be so scary
