Ahhh ... exactly the information that was linked to Clarence Thomas, 33 years ago.

Nothing's changed, it's merely collated better.

Interesting how some people seem worried about the potential of AI. I think that it has the potential for misuse by people such as fusion had. But that AI may develop a super consciousness and try to master its own destiny — naw I don’t see that happening. A long way for a machine built on zeros and ones to go. Until it becomes a living being, and even then, not just any living organism… The idea comes straight out of sci-fi.

Well, there may be reasons to worry. !st of all, sci/fi movies are often real and good predictors of the future. Take space travel for example - we are getting very close to that, but in 1950 it was sci/fi. Transistors have a base material of silicon or germanium. The BOTH have 4 electrons in their outer orbit. Know what else does? CARBON. We are a carbon life-form. We (simple animals) were probably formed centuries ago during lightning storms in the early Earth. Today we are sending electricity through silicon diodes and transistors a bizillion times each day. Carbon life begats silicon life! I thought of this in about 1970.

Yes, my favorite book used to be “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov, when I was 16 I worked as a receptionist after school at a Yacht Club. Didn’t have to do much beside answering the phone so I used to read to fill time. My friend from high school would come over with a suitcase full of sci-fi books for my summer reading. In those days Ron Hubbard (of Scientology) was a sci-fi writer too.

You'll get plenty of all that with ChatGPT. I had to quit ChatGPT. Got into too many debates with ChatGPT even when I told it, "Do not lecture me!'

Me, too! My brother and I are here in The Villages on a Lifestyle Tour. I keep saying, "Just think how nice it'll be to get a Tesla and never have to drive again."

I, too, have tried them all. GrokAI on the X platform is the best, in my opinion.

Bottom line - don't run to it, crawl very cautiously. Cloud still sucks, costs more than having the equipment in house, and isn't 100% uptime like they promised. So what do you want from AI? You will get the same result. IMHO I don't want to accept mediocre at 'perfect' pricing like the rest of corporate america has sucked into.

That's what almost 50 years of IT does to you - welcome to reality. and no the government isn't even close to keeping anything safe or managed properly they are still "working on it"

We need to go out for a beer, couldn't have said it any better!

Fact check: TRUE, as proven by the lawyer who wrote a court brief with ChatGPT, and it was all made up. . . he should have been disbarred for that. . .

Do you think Al Gore envisioned this, when he created the Internet?

sounds good! Depends on beer LOL

Here's an old one - What is it that smells at MIcrosoft main campus? Typically it's Bill Gates laying on the floor reading a book in a hallway (so that people have to walk around him) in a Tshirt, shorts and flip-flops. Yes, the man rarely showers.

didn't he do a good enough LSD trip thinking he created the internet?

Bill Gates and Elon Musk are Ions apart with intellectual capacity, imho.

He hitched his brilliance to aid his country, (and although a little brainiac quirky), I'm enjoying the show to Mars and back!

I opted to forgo the personality transplant that was suggested. Too late in life for a do-over.

Same with my P.A. at OFMC.

She asked my permission to use AI during my session.

I'm looking for a new Dr's office, wondering why she couldn't diagnose and treat a simple case of Acid Reflux.
