just a guy

i've done it before. it does unspeakable things to the cheese but its actually not as bad as one might think.

it is however, not something i'd do that often, and havent had it like that in literally YEARS.

best with various umame causing combinations.

pineapple - sweet

savory - olives

salty - anchovies

spicy - cayenne.

= umame.

= win. you'd be surprised.

yeah most of it just serves to re-inforce the transhuman vaxed droids...

feel free to DM me for my email, actually I'll send yall a dm so you have it.

drop me a note. you both seem like decent folks....

getting used to more-speech. i like that it reliably seems to publish my notes to more relays than anything else. thanks @unclebob, and thanks to @thor for this wonderful tool. (to see where notes are actually getting picked up, by.) I hope sharing the link doesn't generate too much web traffic. If this thing runs on debian, I'm glad to host an instance of it, on my webserver.

wow look at this, ive never seen this before. look how many threads there are here all the lines are different threads in the initial conversation dang haha!

I may not agree with portions of it, but I don't exist to change your mind, either.

It takes all kinds of noodles, to make soup.

neat.

the 333 views part.

i'll figure it out. i do appreciate all this, though. Btw I know Faisal is a fairly uncommon, name, I do wonder, if you're the same faisal that used to go by "bittergourd." are you? If so, I knew you in San Francisco.

Forgive the long response, but I study this stuff and am particularly passionate about it.

------------

These are absolutely valid questions, especially in a world where work+money is the driving force for self-worth. And I am absolutely an advocate for helping those individuals during this transition.

I'll counter with a similar example. What about the neurosurgeon, spent x-amount of years to become highly trained to perform life-critical operations on patients? Suppose we get to a scenario where robotic surgery is 10x more precise and accurate and 100x cheaper than than a surgery done by a human. What happens to the neurosurgeon? They essentially dedicated their lives to become highly skilled at a task and now what, are they out of a job? If they think of themselves as just a pair of finely tuned hands then sure, but a neurosurgeon is trained on much more than that. There is the human connection, and the ability to analyze and *understand* medical literature. Yes an AI can analyze millions of articles, but it takes someone with specialized knowledge to comb through it and verify that the information is true.

To rephrase, if you believe you are the hands/tools of an operation, doing monotonous repetitive tasks and not giving any cognitive contribution, then sure that job is gone. If you are the brains/architect of an operation, then you will utilize AI to go farther and do more than you could do individually. This can give a great opportunity for the solo/small teamed operations which can move and iterate fast. Large corporations may have a lot of hands, but they can get stuck in the bureaucracy.

AI art has been tuned on what is popular and can be used to earn money. Artists can (a) leverage AI to speed up the monotonous work, or (b) if they are particularly gifted create mind blowing paradigm shifts that AI would never be trained on in that is usually not appropriate for money earning because they are too *out there*.

Sal Khan has stated that teachers can use this AI to help them refine a curriculum, teaching a different way is perfectly fine so long as the learning happens. Hell, when things are told to me in a multitude of ways I start to understand it more fully.

Let AI do the boing stuff. Its great at that. What a computational system will never have, however is the *meaning* generating process that biology and therefore humans have.

Let us be free to innovate without restriction.

interesting. I appreciate your well articulated and interesting response, so thank you .

imagine for a minute you were 60 years old.

imagine that you studied photography in highschool, and college, and got your degrees in fine art, and even went on to get a phd in fine art.

you became a teacher of photography

you worked professionally in the field,

starting in a photo lab, and moving your way up.

you never worked for national geographic, or shot any spreads for rolling stone,

but you were or arguably are VERY good at what you do, and know it inside and out,

and helped a large number of people.

how is replacing these skills with a computer, good for anyone other than the software developers of that company?

do you feel it's possible for these people being displaced, to still exist in a field when it's perhaps literally all they know how to do, and have spent their entire lives working at a thing, to the point of mastery?

is that fair? or is it "the price of doing business" and "collateral damage" ?

just to be clear - i am not upset, but genuinely curious to see how people feel about these manner of things.

Kahn has always been a decent operation.

On the topic of AI assisted tutoring- how does this help the teacher, if say the AI teaches mathematical theory a different way than the teacher learned themselves? :) Stuff like that.

But more interested in how you feel ai would benefit multiple industries and those benefits.

thanks :)

i dont know martialis, or tybbs, but i do know the other two. :) and I concur with your assessment. it's not that it's any less morally reprehensible than fedi, just different kinds of behavior.

why was it taken out, though ? we could trace back to kurzweil and other trans humanists, and similar stuff, but - what gets me, is it's hard to consider that after 60 years or so of warnings, it's not that nobody saw it coming, it's that hundreds of thousands of people working at huge tech companies, actually thought this was a good idea somehow.

Sure.

OH~ getting used to a new client, and followed up on the web. new client doesn't have avatars, but this doesn't change my conduct.

okay, so i put it one way on fedi, and i'll copy paste because i think its relevant to the discussion:

the human impact of ai pitted against inflation / sheer human oversight and lack of consideration = a very bad equation for a whole lot of people. Removal of jobs, mostly.

Customer Service Reps of all types

Programmers (not all)

Compliance People

UI/UX People

Web Developers (most)

Artists

Govt Employees (okay squee)

Almost the entire DMV

other things overlooked here.

all gone. yet they all eat...

running more-speech and nostrgram.co in the browser concurrently do not seem to evoke this race condition warren was talking about. which is good.

- either race condition doesn't actually occur, OR

- nostrgram is so laggy it never occurs.

pondering without pondering.

that moment you realize that over half the fediverse is severely mentally ill, and literally nothing you tell them will change anything about how they live their lives....

and that they're even more lost than you ever before so, thought.

yep. that moment occurred about an hour ago.

there are however, some great people using the thing, so i'll stay in some capacity or other,

but by golly when you see the things I've seen today, and in the last 2 years, you really start to wonder, if the damned really even know that they're the damned. and the answer? --- they do not. they have no idea how morally reprehensible their behavior actually is, and trying to assuage gradual change and self realization therein is attempting to play chess with a pidgeon. it will crap all over the board, and it will waste your time, and drag down your spirit while you try to help them become better people.

they're just not interested, and I'm almost nearly certain a large percentage of them, actually ENJOY being wicked.

Father, please measure them by their fruits... Amen.

well thats interesting. this last note i sent got picked up by 27 relays. the one before it, 6.

lets see if this gets some reach.

Lake Tulare Appears After 130 Years...

https://www.writehere.is/nwo/tulare-lake-re-appears-after-130-years

~~

why are the relays im actually paying for not picking up my messages?

test after tweaking some settings.

testing which relays this hits, based on the settings.

will try another test in a moment.

dude that thread on fedi was reprehensible at best.

i see no reason to treat other people like that.

'nuff said.

I'm not into drama.

things that annoy me on nostr:

foreign characters i cant read, cowdle, and zap zap zap zap!

lol.

although i get the zap zap thing, and that people type in languages that aren't english, but cowdle? no. its not cool to broadcast like that.

tastes like malts and corn :) hehe
