AI is rubbish at Wordle because it can’t anticipate the crazy non-“rules” of English. It just doesn’t “know” the likelihood of the positions of letters. It has to sift through many unlikely combinations, when a person can reason the answer. That’s why I often beat AI at the game.
Read some jokes about NFTs on social media this morning. Wondering if the loudest AI people these days were also carnival barkers for NFTs.

As soon as we figure out how to fully merge humans with AI then the next step in human evolution will be a cyborg.
Wether we merge with our tech in rhe manner of “The bicentennial man” or “The Borg” remains to be seen, but it will happen.
Watch this space.
We are already there. People with heart pacemakers, limb prosthetics, devices to regulate sugar in blood, exoskeletons for people with nerve damage. Heck, I was a cyborg for a while. I broke my left arm, a great doc installed internal braces (plates) and an external brace with screws, rods and a ball joint that allowed me to move my wrist while bones were repairing themselves.
That’s what another company of Elon Musk, Neuralink is trying to accomplish.
Theoretically you could call yourself a cyborg everytime you drive your car as your biological body is enchanced by mechanical means that enable you to travel at high speeds and carry more than you can lift.
It coukd also be said that when driving you kind of merge with the car so that the process of operating it becomes naturall, you can drive without consciously thinking about it.
Or you could go all phallic and merge with a motorcycle…
Way ahead if you. Motorcycle is my sexual orientation.
Well there is a difference. The mechanical part is not part of you and what you consider your ‘self’ when you talk about cars. This is different to say an artificial organ which becomes an inseparable part of your body.
That is the point I was making.
I keep reading this as pending air crash
It happened in Hong Kong this morning. A cargo aircraft with four crew, all safe. Regrettably two airport employees patrolling the airport were not so fortunate.

That’s the mother of all circle jerks.

Appears that Tor wants nothing to do with AI
In the latest Alpha release notes
Over the past year Mozilla has been working on integrating various AI features and integrations into Firefox (e.g. the AI chatbot sidebar). Such machine learning systems and platforms are inherently un-auditable from a security and privacy perspective. We also do not want to imply recommendation or promotion of such systems by including them in Tor Browser. Therefore, we have done what we can to remove such features from the browser.
Just to step back to the original post… it’s here, it’s gonna stay but at this point it’s over funded with little chance of decent returns in the next year or two. A pop seems inevitable. This is a good overview of why and what that might mean https://youtu.be/Xl0xgXejAa8?si=mrOg4dJsN-XyYNmd (the % contribution to USA GDP ‘growth’ is astonishing)

Learned 2 things. First, richest consumers which have a significant amount of wealth invested in stocks are the ones keeping consumption alive. The smallest sneeze will make make rich consumers realize “we’re not as wealthy as we though we were” and consume less. Second, 20% of US stocks owned by foreigners (which includes us), very bad.

In the meantime the guys over at GE are having a heyday.
AIs seem to be mostly designed by engineers to provide accurate information that has no practical purpose
Yesterday I ordered something in Germany
Today I got an email from DPD telling me it was on the way
OK so fine so far
Then it asked me if I wanted to now where my parcel is
Stupidly I replied yes
In reply I got a streetmap showing my parcel was travelling down a road somewhere North of Dortmund
WTF
I was expecting something like a timeline showing my parcel was heading to a hub or between hubs or in final stages.
You’re lucky! Messages from DHL usually say: “Delivery tomorrow by the end of the day”
