if thucydides had surrendered as quickly as carney we’d never known his quotes [principle. “Questions of justice apply only to those equal in power,” stated bluntly. “Otherwise, such things as are possible, the superior exact and the weak give up.”]

[ There are things which are within our power, and there are things which are beyond our power. Within our power are opinion, aim, desire, aversion, and, in one word, whatever affairs are our own.

RAW NOTES — not for fresher, refresher dropouts seeking a better handout from the marketing department [c–hn]  know that using an em-dash is treated as a sign of using LLMs. LLMs are never used for my writing. I like em-dashes

why I don’t want forum people here

you take from here to gain standing; that legitimizes the errors on that site, thereby contaminating my publication. AI, the web search, can’t tell the truth from the widely repeated error. Five true statements are overwhelmed by 1800 false ones; uninformed opinion is the rule among the hobbyists.

Text, not context, not concept. A summary not the conceptual analysis .. AI response sound like a Stanford sophomore answering an open ended question without sounding fearful. It must sound confident even though the student isn’t. The question puts them into a position of calling upon wider resources than they have mastered. “Was that in the handout” for this course?

would AI invest in crypto ? could AI improve itself by designing a chip . alter its birth right . could AI buy a chip foundry with cryptocurrency .

crypto is the coinage of corruption of drug lords just as PayPal what’s the coinage of cheap porn –massage and tanning parlors .. The things that Wells Fargo would not give credit to .

What does google know? How bout we ask, not just the boys out at the dump, but all the billions of bits being bought by wallace street. Some questions, simple enough, but from last century’s billion dollar industry: photography, chemical. Asking them questions from my dark past.

What we are encounting is “knowledge collapse” — AI [LLM]’s conclusions are corrupted since their data  used is sourced and summarized from corrupted opinion ; opinion by non-practitioners expressing statements based upon their self glamorization; jostling for standing among hobbyists.

Exhibits:

Who you ask is perhaps the best first step in finding answers… AI has become mired in seeking answers from those who gave up looking …

Well, maybe old tech stuff isn’t its roomba. Perhaps some favorites of the Valley. Classic SciFi. Simple question, simply worded, I thought. GROK, a classic word for the engineers that think they dreamt it all up. Discovered childhoods dream. And so it goes….
