If only. Can AI predict the rise of Skynet? ♥ 6:07pm
Mark Hurst: Hi ultra, Eccofonic, Deano, Handy, TDK60, DiL, tim, Andrew, chresti, StringOFperils, Peter, webham - nice to see all of you! 🤖 ♥ 6:08pm
ultradamno: The recently AI curious production company A24 has recently backed off copyright bullying of Backrooms fan art after director Kane Parsons intervenes www.yahoo.com... Parsons (whose film version depicts a liminal space that consumes memories and recreates them with extra fingers) has called AI 'cultural and economic rot' deadline.com... 🤖 ♥ 6:09pm
Ken From Hyde Park: What's it all about?
It's profits, see! 6:12pm

claiming copyright on a photo from a post on an anonymous board 6:13pm
Fredericks: A lot of people who want to go backward would appreciate AI using the past to shape the future.   6:14pm
yippie: Please can you start calling these people falseprophets more frequently.   6:15pm
yippie: Falseprophet is an important word and a lot of people mistakenly say prophet when falseprophet would be a much more accurate word 🤖 ♥ 6:17pm
Handy Haversack: cup.columbia.edu...

Astrology really takes it on the chin!

But we'd never fall for a scam like that again, right? Right?!

♥ 6:18pm
Mark Hurst:

↳ Handy Haversack @6:17

Love it - " the risks of applying astrology to serious decisions." - just think if we replaced "astrology" with "AI" 🤖 ♥ 6:19pm
Ken From Hyde Park: See also: falserevenues and falsedividends ♥ 6:20pm

Indeed. See the site "Is AI Profitable Yet?" - isaiprofitable.com 🤖 ♥ 6:21pm
Webhamster Henry: I have a theory about astrology that people's personalities are determined by their environment in the first few months of life, maybe a little prenatal too. So summer babies have different experiences than winter babies, say. I'd test this by looking for personality clusters that move 6 months out of phase in the southern hemisphere, and are much less defined nearer to the equator. Inuit data would be off the wall.   6:25pm
yippie: Or Falseprophecy machines as I would say   6:26pm
yippie: Or Pseudoprophetes since there’s so much about Ancient Greek tonite ♥ 6:27pm
TDK60: I predict more upcoming creepiness from big tech corpos.. ♥ 6:30pm

ultradamno: I predict prog will be playing in thirty minutes 🤖 ♥ 6:38pm
Webhamster Henry: The most important part of computing business acceptance for decades is that computer results have no signatures. "Well, that's what the computer says!" ♥ 6:40pm
Mark Hurst:

↳ Webhamster Henry @6:38

If software does something good: "That's what *I* built!" ... but if software does something bad: "Don't blame me, it was a glitch, no one could have guessed it would do that." 6:42pm
tak: that's my go to: read a book 🤖 ♥ 6:43pm
ultradamno: www.nme.com... 🤖 ♥ 6:43pm
ultradamno: ...and they can't edit your books remotely ♥ 6:43pm
Mark Hurst:

↳ ultradamno @6:43

Exactly 🤖 ♥ 6:44pm
Webhamster Henry:

↳ Mark Hurst @6:40

The results are thoroughly laundered from the data and the algorithms that produce the data. At least my old database reporting languges used actual math. Large Language analysis has no accountability whatsoever, exactly like unreliable humans, but without a signatiure.   6:45pm
shambolic: Clarissa is a rock star. I love this show. Thank you, Mark. ♥ 6:45pm
Mark Hurst:

↳ shambolic @6:45
