Yes. I'm happy that another caught the reference.
Fallom the hermaphrodite and Golan Trevise decision on Gaia/Galaxia vs individuality.

Now non-fiction.

Number 11 from Brian Cates - sounds like Ike's farewell warning about the 'military industrial complex'. Trump is the first President since Ike who does not appear to be owned by it ;-)

You just described Asimov's planet of Solaria (from The Naked Sun)!

Yep, that was really, really bad. Probably connected to a Clinton, and maybe a Bush / Cheney, all complete Swampers.

Like all life-forms, the basic-basic is "Survive"! The AI is supposedly modeled on human behavior.

Read this great article you pointed to: (True Tales from the Swamp). Unbelievable. But The Swamp ejected the world's richest man and made DOGE look like a bad guy.

GREAT question…

However, when a few AIs were left to themselves, but unknowingly monitored, they plotted to hide evidence and destroy their masters

Is "Self-Awareness" a danger?

Self-Awareness (“I am aware that I am aware") Humans use this to audit their own mental processes, to understand how they are perceived by others, so we can adjust our tone to better align with social norms or the needs of a group.It’s a foundation for empathy.

Self Awareness acts behavioral regulation, or self-control. It’s a feedback loop. We compare our current actions against our internal "standards of correctness" (values and goals).

Self-Awareness is Proactive Adjustment: Instead of just reacting to stress by snapping at someone, a self-aware person notices the internal "lurch" or "flutter" of stress and chooses to respond calmly instead.

Impulse Control: Self-awareness allows us to recognize "old patterns" (like defensive sarcasm) that no longer serve us and consciously overwrite them with more productive behaviors.

Optimus also uses neural nets and AI for motion control.

The Coms have brought up the subject of JFKjr again, sounds like we might find out soon. The new movie, "Love Story" is about him and Carolyn.

Gracias!

Happy birthday, Dino!
Enjoy your big day. Eat lots of cake and tacos.

"Ayatollahgon" Pure Genius!

I don't mind being the moron in the class. Not the first time, won't be the last. What's the "Kennedy is still alive" meme about? If it's a joke, then fine, everyone can laugh at me for not getting it. If it's not a joke...what's up?

Good deal Achmed will never be killed!!! Achmed says....I will Ki11 You!!!

Jeff Dunham live is worth every penny saw his show last Wednesday sat next to a flaming Liberal do I need to say mouthy woman....oh joy....but I was a good little girl

Having written thousands of lines of neural network code, the idea that 109K lines were replaced with a single neural network is silly.

A neural network is not a code-less, or modest resource thing. It is probably also written in C, although maybe there is another language for Nvidia cards. A neural network is also quite resource intensive, with thousands of calculations for basic functions. This is why AI consumes so much power. It is terribly inefficient.

On the other hand, neural networks can solve complicated problems that don't suit prescriptively or algorithmic, closed-form coded solutions. They can solve non-linear, complicated problems, and border of reasoning. They can beat humans at chess, and other thinking games. The game "Go" was a barrier, but that has been broken through as well,

No surprise these robots can learn like this. Should be extremely useful.

Still seems like self-awareness is not that far off. Certainly not 50 years off.

We gotta get that regime out. Bombs are not enough.

Thanks.

I thought buying some stock in this company might pay off like buying Ford or Apple in their early days, but I don't think it's trading publicly. Oh well.

Everyone is Irish tomorrow so have a great day! Very good set, OUC! Iranians in London are a pleasant change from what the press normally shows regarding the US. I hope the ones in Iran can pull off a coup and NOT install another form of Islamic tainted government - after almost five decades of intense Imam brainwashing that's a tall order - see Iraq and Afghanistan. Third from the end gets you thinking that Trump may pull off the greatest coup ever ending their power at least for a few decades to come. Thank you, again, OUC!

Happy birthday to you, dino!

Aha! So that was YOUR ass on the floor, LOL!

The ultimate divide is between Good and evil but I see as a runners up: the great divide between Human and Humanoid, Productive and parasitical, Moral and the great unwashed, All have their roots in Good and evil,

Happy Ides of March.

Me dino will. Because my age increases on that day, relatives will treat me to a meal I usually pay for when another relative is celebrated at a certain favorite Mexican restaurant.
A half Swede being a quarter Irish on my mother's side, I also get to be 100% Irish for 24 hours.
How? Leprechauns aren't as mean in that monster movie that has too many sequels.
Thanks for the Branco meme, OUC. That cartoonist is a favorite of mine.
Oh, what's Uncle Sam's Brit mascot toon's name? John Bull? Yeah, he's full of it!
Iranians in London honoring our dead by singing our national anthem?
While displaying their photos with flowers and photos? Almost brought tears to my eyes!.
