FuglyDuck , 11 months ago to world in James Cameron calls for regulations for tourist subs after Titan disaster

Absolutely.

The issue is that the regulations that do exist allow them to skirt it by not offering a hard, and broad, definitions of ‘tourist subs’.

FuglyDuck , 11 months ago to world in James Cameron calls for regulations for tourist subs after Titan disaster

To be clear, it wasn’t a “tourist sub”… so maybe the first regulation should be defining exactly what that is,

FuglyDuck , 11 months ago to world in Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds

One of the things that annoys me about vegans… is they always try to convince me [this recipe] always tastes like the real thing.

And I think any one who eats meat on a regular basis is going to know an impossible burger is not beef- it might be the closest, sure.

Probably the best way to “convert” people- or encourage reductions- is to be less apologetic. Tofu is wonderful and delicious as it’s own thing- but as tofu-chicken or tofurky or anything of that sort, it sets expectations that can never be met.

Forgetting to mention a dish that stands in its own happens to be meatless… well, my parents were halfway through the second bowl of a tofu stir fry before they realized it.

FuglyDuck , 11 months ago to technology in ChatGPT Out-scores Medical Students on Complex Clinical Care Exam Questions

for a human, that’s probably too much information to be useful. That’s why chatGPT is so powerful. It can sort through all that cruft and find “relevant” information.

it’s an incredibly complicated set of If-then statements that lead it through a decision tree; ultimately responding to a prompt using what is most commonly followed up in similar prompts on the internet.

It fails on knowing if the information is useful, or even correct, however. and it receives the biases inherited both from the people who wrote the if-then statements and the data to which it was fed. Further, the narrow AI’s we have today have no agency, no creativity or intuition. It fakes all of these things in order to make us believe it’s ‘real’- that’s what it’s programed to do.
