Beware the Great Eye of Google. Ever it roams, ever it watches.

Okay I misread that title as “Casio made a One Ring alternative”

I think that’s still different from what I’m thinking of of interim steps, though.

…but as I think how to explain I realize I’m about to blather about things I don’t understand, or at least haven’t had time to think about! So I’d better leave it there!

I reckon we can get a lot closer than an LLM in time. For one thing, the mind has particular understanding of interim steps whereas, as I understand it, the LLM has no real concept of meaning between the inputs and the output. Some of this interim is, I think, an important part of how we assess truthfulness of generated ideas before we put them into words.

That is a good point, though the architecture of computer neutral networks is inspired by how we think the brain works, and if I understand correctly there is some definite similarity in the architecture.

Lots of difference though, still!

I prefer to poop on a logarithmic scale.

Not advanced maths per se; neural networks are amazing! Fuzzy matching based on experience - taken to an incredible level. And, tuneable by internal simulation (imagination).

Rehab is Stardew Valley, right? Stop automating and just plant your crops by hand each day.

Say hello to the destroyer worm on Volcanus

That sounds legendary.

Only if you reroll it through your quality-modded assembler enough times.

Ah that makes cents.

True, one person needs an account. You used to be able to do Jitsi - and before it other webrtc calling solutions - with no account at all but now Jitsi also needs the first host to sign in.

But Signal calls, every participant must have a Signal account. The others, I can invite people to join with no account.

“Browser tech”? Just the fact you can make it work from a browser without needing to install anything else. Again, Signal isn’t set up for that kind of thing. It’s just designed and extended from a different use case.

Jitsi. Even zoom and teams allow joining without an account. Good ol’ webrtc and browser tech.

Darn it! And I was so hungry too.

Is that when the car behind you skips in front because you take too long?

Qg6, ke7, nd5.

Can I get a burger now?

Again, which party is it giving the mega wealthy tax breaks?

But that’s rather the point here, isn’t it? So much Democrat rhetoric and support comes across as, “they’re worse so you have to like us.” Not exactly inspiring to people whose livelihoods are struggling.

where you differ from a whildly unpopular president… and you answer “nowhere”.

I watched the beginning of the Trump-Harris debate. When Harris was asked why she and Biden kept Trump’s trade tariffs (after just saying how bad new ones would be), she gave no answer and went back to bashing Trump.

And your points on the economy are essentially, the economy is booming…

I felt a lot of disconnect between the “Biden is the greatest” and “America is suffering” rhetoric in the lead up to the election.

the worry some have about fascism taking over is not believed by many… politicians say a lot…

Not American here, but I still have much hope that the fate of America is in the hands of her people. My biggest fear at Trump’s election is if it inspires more of the nation to hate and anger - because the president is your leader in that way.

But you see, Trump won because a lot of people voted for him. If the American people can find a new love for the poor, for fairness between worker and manager, for people who look and act differently: then I have great hope for the nation’s recovery.

One particular thing I noticed, is on the one hand was the rhetoric that Biden was the saviour of the economy and the working class, the antithesis to corporate greed, and all problems are from COVID and leftovers from Trump; and on the other hand, that prices are rising, people are poorer, while corporations post record profits.

If I were an American, that dissonance would give me a little skepticism about all the pro-democratic rhetoric I’ve been hearing.

Again, not that that really answers the questions, but it does shift the impressions one gets.
