Proof of Work, expressed in mighty-fine Pizza, exchanged in Bitcoin! Yum!
Played around with what’s available in the open-source, decentralized AI space. Found Hugging Face, which seemed to be user friendly enough. So asked it to help locate research studies pertaining to toxicity of a certain plant. It came back with two studies published in reputable journals.
I couldn’t locate either reference, so, further asked for exact citation info. It responded with paper title, the journal date, Volume, issue, pages and even the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the research papers.
Hmm…..still couldn’t locate these papers. So went to the journals directly and manually looked up the pages that were given me. The papers found had nothing to do with the plant or toxicity issues that I asked about. So confronted the AI with this discrepancy. It then verified my conclusion that the research I asked for did not exist in these locations and went on to apologize for any confusion that occurred and explained that it must have been hallucinating.
Hmmm…I had heard a little bit about this phenomenon. However, it got me to wonder if this was an aspect of intelligence that I didn’t fully appreciate before. Authorities and experts often have answers to questions asked of them, even though plenty are extrapolations (educated guesses, without being stated as so) that aren’t always accurate. So AI seems to be doing the same…
OK, AI is new, it’s learning. However, that it doubled-down and went so far as to provide a fictitious citation including a bogus DOI to support its original claim is disturbing. OK, to be fair, human authorities and experts also often double-down when caught in a fabrication.
So, I guess the real difference between human and artificial intelligence (at this point in evolution) is that when caught fabricating info, AI at least states “I’m sorry, I was hallucinating”
Good on you for getting spectators (ie. me) off the sidelines to become participants.
Weird-ass Bug of the Week
Picking purple basil, not typically a hazardous pursuit, unless one of these guys is munching away on the underside of the leaf.
This Saddleback caterpillar (Acharia stimulea), looking more like a cartoon cat wearing sunglasses that has been run-over, is covered in venomous hairs. Accidentally brushing your hand against one really CENTERS ONE’S ATTENTION 🥵🤯 for about 15 min…..not recommended….

They’re a big part of the ecosystem down in the tropics but can get a little over zealous with one’s attempt in establishing a food forest. So, How to turn the problem into the solution?…hmmm
An attempt to communicate with leaf-cutter ants (Atta cephalotes) via scent, not to decimate my food forest trees in Costa Rica…..making progress…I think…. nostr:npub1ru83erv4aqrw2thpqg2sh6l22vpx89z7ed2xselzn8mt3e3axutsz9vkej nostr:npub1073vwazf6l6d5d55xh2zy7ynkf3lgd7cdceq7qjepwen3s675p7qjrr9cw #permaculture
Here at the Bitcoin Freedom Festival in Uvita Costa Rica! Woohoo! Bitcoin is happening here big time! Exciting! 
Just orange-pilled Dani “The German Meat Guy” at the Tinamaste farmers market and set him up with the Bitcoin Jungle wallet. Now you can use Bitcoin to buy his quality meat products at farmers markets throughout Bitcoin Jungle. Woohoo!
Looking forward to being part of it!
What happened to the mp4? …didn’t get censored, did it?
