Well one virtue of being under the weather is that I can’t do much other than sit and type all day, and that led to a few interesting short arguments that have some pretty long lived utility. 😉

I ALWAYS START WITH THE SCIENCE.
If I say something, it’s because I know the science and the data. The audience’s problem is figuring out whether I’m educating or baiting. 😉 And the trick of doing my job is never letting you know for sure – so you are forced to think, and,…

The current LLMs that will run on a phone are relatively simple. But then, so is the hardware on our phones. Even so, it’s clear we’ll be able to use locally running AIs in androids, robots, vehicles, military vehicles, missiles, planes, and satellites, faster than we’d assumed.
Our LLMs are dumb as a rock. But we haven’t hit anything near the low-level limit of the tech yet. But as someone who has worked on these questions to one degree or another for decades, we still have three (hard) layers of problems to solve. While we’re seeing some simple evolution of wayfinding and recursion, we still don’t have episodic memory, prediction, and judgment (morality) – and those are pretty hard problems.
Basically, we’d thought we’d need to build AI bottom up, but instead, we’re building it top down as a child learns from observing, listening, and identifying patterns. And it turns out that while we have less control over it, it’s working far better than any of us ever imagined.

Q: “What’s so great about the G Wagon?”
Designed as the ultimate 4WD vehicle at the request of Shah of Iran, who was a major Mercedes shareholder,and who wanted something superior to the Land Rover, that could be used by both military and civilian customers. And a better four wheel drive than the British Land Rover, the Japanese Toyota Land Cruiser, and the American Jeep.
It’s awesome to drive, and can literally run forever.Reply addressees: @TabbyTeamster

(vehicle geeks)
G-wagon is still the best-designed and built civilian vehicle, even if it’s unavailable in ‘working vehicle’ trim. We have lost the Defender, the Range Rover, the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Bronco, and even the Hummer H2/3 – and the Jeep is a fragile overpriced bit of virtue-signaling, beach boy, chick friendly, kiddie-kit without a hard top and proper modifications. 😉
Government regulation needs to apply to consumer vehicles, and less so for trucks, and they are ridiculous for rough-terrain working-vehicles.
“Pussification of everything” 😉
(Sorry. Had to say that.)

(a) Neoteny (fertility, adaptability, non conflict)
(b) Whiteness is natural. Black is the adaptation to solar radiation in the absence of fur. Primates have white skin.
I’m not going all-in on this because while I understand it I don’t necessarily like it, feel it myself, or care. But it is the reason for selection for lighter skin, fairer hair, fairer eyes, more notenic features. The rest is just symmetry, and long legs.Reply addressees: @TheAutistocrat
