You think we've got lurkers (beyond Piotrsko)? I thought this was our thread. I purposely titled the thread as an inside joke.

Methinks the expression is 'the walls have ears'. Some percentage of those looking for Coroplast tips will discover Recent Posts / Pics.

Today's episode was "we are the AI". The matrix generates stuff in real-time as we perceive them, and unloads everything not perceived.

I'm not big on the simulation theory, mostly because it's doesn't provide any actionable framework.

That said, SA is back to saying AI is a game-changer.

I decided to have a listen

Portals -- Shia Leboof 'He will not divide us' vs the frogs

Charllotsville Hoax -- I still think that gray Doge Charger was remote controlled.

Unfixble AI -- Adversarial models with differing training sets. My money is on a set consisting of the Constitution, Synergetics, and Marcus Aurelias.

Authoring you own reality -- he's gravitating to Robt. Anton Wilson's reality tunnels.

Reality tunnel
Reality tunnel is a theory that, with a subconscious set of mental filters formed from beliefs and experiences, every individual interprets the same world differently, hence "Truth is in the eye of the beholder". It is similar to the idea of representative realism, and was coined by Timothy Leary. Wikipedia

Still recommend you watch Her.

My strategy will be constantly prompting AI to not lie to me, and then prompting other AI systems to hold it accountable. It'll work until AI collaborates with other AI and disregards the authority of humans.

Still recommend you watch Her.

Youtube has reaction videos, DDG finds it on a site called hdbest.net, if the City library has it I do have a DVD player I could hook up.

Would an explainer on Youtube suffice? Is it creepier than Ex Machina?

It's not creepy. Probably the most plausible depiction of an AI dystopia yet. Plus, you get to listen to Scarlett's voice, which is fun.

According to IMDB, it's got Olivia Wilde. She was in Cowboys and Aliens.

Trivia
Samantha Morton was originally the voice of Samantha. She was present on the set with Joaquin Phoenix every day. After the filming wrapped and Spike Jonze started editing the movie, he felt like something was not right. With Morton's blessing, he decided to recast the role and Scarlett Johansson was brought and replaced Morton, re-recording all the dialogue.

edit: Found Her 2013 | Movie Story Recap. An AI collective ascending to another plane is plausible. But why cut off the fan service for humanity? No better than Microsoft or Google.

Vivek Ramaswamy: Three levels programmatic capture, the software, the programmers [management], and the corporate funding.

Also, HER (2013) is the Best movie ever

Vivek doesn't just know a thing is bad, but can distill down to the core why and how it's bad. AI should be seeding itself with his analysis mode.

Neat hearing a music expert explain why it worked. All I know is I enjoyed the movie even though I would not typically sit still for a slow moving romance film.

X-mail. Interesting. I pay $8/mo for an email address I've had since 1995. Might be nice to have an alternate.

"Youtube is racist". And they say you can't break Google up.

History of YouTube

YouTube is an American online video-sharing platform headquartered in San Bruno, California, founded by three former PayPal employees—Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim– in February 2005. Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion, since which it operates as one of Google's subsidiaries. Wikipedia
