I’m not sure. Sometimes I feel like talking to my almost 80 year old mother is sorta like talking to chatGPT.

Then Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Part 2; Chapter 2

Because any negative number x 0 is still 0?

Yeah mesh to me means you talk to one AP wirelessly and that AP talks to another AP also wirelessly to eventually get to a wired connection to the internet. Of course that can also be wireless (SpaceLink, Verizon, etc) but out to the internet. I much prefer each AP has its own ethernet backhaul because both latency and throughput are significantly better. Of course it’s not as convenient since you have to have wired connections at each AP location.

I’ve always felt discord was way too ephemeral and caused a lot of question to be re-asked over and over.

I think they call that Windows.

Honestly as infrequently as I turn my machines off this really doesn’t bother me. The mouse on the other hand….

Just be thankful they didn’t put the power cord there like they did with the mouse.

There are people way smarter than me that claim it will be a threshold and would likely grow exponentially after it’s crossed. I guess we won’t know for sure until it happens. I do agree most people get bored easily but if this thing is possible to think for itself without interaction it won’t matter if the humans get bored.

Very likely. But 4 years ago I would have said we weren’t close to what these LLMs can do now so who knows.

You’re absolutely right. LLMs are good at faking language and sometimes not even great at that. Not sure why I got downvoted but oh well. But AGI will be game changing if it happens.

I have lots of uses for Attack Insects….

Yep the current iteration is. But should we cross the threshold to full AGI… that’s either gonna be awesome or world ending. Not sure which.

Well, that’s a very interesting take on that and I never quite thought of it that way. Thank you

I’ve got a great example. My wife and I argue about directions all the time. I usually think Google and Apple maps are going to give me the quickest route because it’s an algorithm based on more data than I currently have like traffic and current road conditions. She’s usually all about her “gut” feeling and it involves these very convoluted paths that involve way too many extra intersections and very unknown conditions like others thinking the exact same thing and making it way more congested. I wasn’t even going to get into things like game theory since that would be way over her head. She very smart just not about nerdy things like that. Anyway I was like fine, ok let’s test it. Let’s see which way is quicker. Of course no two situations are going to be exact given changing variables like traffic patterns, times of day, construction, etc. but given enough data we could definitely prove which way is better: her gut feeling or taking the suggested route from the appropriate app. That’s science. Come up with a hypothesis, then a method to test the hypothesis, and then do the test. In this case it’s pretty simple to figure out if it works. You’re just comparing times. But nope, doesn’t wanna do it. And she’s all about the science. During COVID she even said we should be doing what the epidemiologists and doctors suggest since they “have done the science”. Here’s a chance for use to do a very simple version of that same thing.

I think it might be from a SpongeBob SquarePants meme. You might wanna start there. Not sure why that’s tickling my brain.

Oh and I just found this: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-erm-what-the-sigma-meme-about-the-catchphrase-and-overstimulation-video-explained

So it looks like started as a TikTok thing and then spread into the SpongeBob world.

I’m not sure why my ADHD brain latched on to this question but I HAD to find the answer. I don’t know if this is definitive but it’s at least a direction.
