the J-word

tensions in translation . The doctors office always filled with tensions people nervous people in need people with knowledge people with anxiety .

Unshared side words. Shades of Shannon . confused interpretation one is very serious, anxious; the other, attempting to include more than the routine ..to expand their interactions…

‘give me just a minute …’

‘ahhh, the J- word ‘ to which Jeffery responds

‘yes, Jeffery Haswirt..’ mistaking what “J” means.

He failed the puzzle the very puzzled that AI fails… Not a math problem but a problem about words and partial words. The

riddle of life .

neither Shannon nor Wood explain, even though I would’ve used them both to extend this comment beyond example and into explanation ..

several weeks ago amongst the AI community a riddle was passed around that AIs failed . The riddle was about a car wash. it didn’t involve math , but of course the , inference engines used math in their attempt at solution . A week later follow up experiment on the riddle included human respondents : a third of them got the wrong answer ,likely not using math ,instead just using the shared meaning of words. their culture made them stumble just as the AI culture made them stumble .

THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM:

Two trains approach each other on a straight track of length dd at speeds v1v1 and v2v2. A bird starts at one train, flies to the other at vbvb, turns around, flies back, and so on until the trains meet. How far does the bird fly?

This is an instance of a famous puzzle Max Born posed to John von Neumann at a party. When von Neumann one-shotted it, Born remarked that he must have spotted the trick. Von Neumann replied: “What trick? All I did was sum the geometric series

is this the party to whom I am speaking

winterizing AI

Since last November I have been aggressively reading about and testing AI systems in familiar topics. in the months since November I’ve read ,on average, seven articles a day … These have resulted in several static pages along with a dozen draft posts ..time for a marker..

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.H.P.

the types of queries i’ve posed are about details of silicon valley as business and social model. additionally, i have asked for code snippets. these they provide readily… even being able to translate cross languges, with one suprising failure: mistaking dartmouth basic as the DART language.

none of the models correctly answered chem questions from this bank of texts.

software engineers have been able to engineer an assistant . And it delivers conversation as though it were in a Sand Hill meeting . The enthusiasm amongst the programming and SWE community is increasingly joyous … they will be able to eliminate low level jobs .. They also Believe they will be able to eliminate all of those jobs that they never understood and never liked .. HR and marketing ..

it can code because the compiler error checks .. those fields without intermediate verification systems are subject to failure of vocabulary — it sounds good..

AI is right now the child of Silicon Valley– The silicon valley of the internet age — electrons on clouds. Fantasy of the 40s …

The avalanche has occurred … clawbots drive mac mini sales… 3 weeks agp the claw popped onto swe dashboatds.
