AI Grok’d

an idea so old it’s on Flomax

— with an obscure question seek the obscure link site .. with an old crush a question about an old idea seek the answer before the Internet it has to be on print .

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….

AI. Learning Dye Transfer

Posted on November 6, 2025November 6, 2025 Posted in babl, dye transfer, minimum daily requirement, Theory

give it a try. If you know the answers well enough AI chat answers will amuse, or frustrate. The answers the at hand models provide are based upon web posts and link count results which are somewhat circular. The answers provided are incomplete, sounding much like a salesman taking over the help desk during lunch. Or, good enough for an interview, but falling far short of being able to make prints in a commercial lab. But why?

Ask google for dye transfer patents …. they fail

The models seem to have been trained using data collected from internet forums along with, at most, 4 website collections of publications from the 80s. In short, they don’t go back to origins, far enough to source matterials; worse, they don’t detail steps or stages of the process that would be recognizable to a practitioner, nor are they specific enough for the novice seriously intent on reproducing the process.

I asked general questions — most models got close enough for a high-school paper. The more specific I got, the less useful their responses.

my dye transfer chats were with these models as well as Google’s browser version. It was most dependent upon websites which meant that the more detailed my request the less accurate the response. Google’s link valuation system presents the problem of knowledge transfer remaining among those with little direct experience in the hobby fields.

As of this point [Nov 6, ’25 ] I am hesitant to post any direct results… as many of the Models say … bubble, bubble, thinking… bubble.

When asked for references used in answering me, it answered with seemingly plausible references. At least until I checked, first the patent, next two journals … I stopped with those non-existent materials. Who would check? Who, other than me, has the time as well as prior knowledge to even attempt the test, verification cycle.

The bubble is worse than financial.

T2: neighborhood swatchtika

NB: T2 posts are political/ mainly about militarization of US civilization.

–if the National Guard in DC just calls the cops because they’re being followed, why are they there.

[“Hey man, if you’re going to keep following us, we can contact Metro PD and they can come handle you if that’s what you want to do. Is that what you want to do?” a National Guard sergeant asked O’Hara, who did not respond.]
In addition to the alleged First and Fourth Amendment violations, the lawsuit states that the officers are liable for false arrest, false imprisonment, and battery…. [Joshua Kastenberg, a former Air Force lawyer and current law professor at the University of New Mexico, said the sergeant himself had a right to call the police if he was being harassed or if it interrupted his duties.

“We have the right to freedom of speech, but when your speech is intended to provoke others, you’re also responsible for the provocation that ensues,” Kastenberg said. “Frankly, a National Guardsman calling the police instead of exercising violence on his own or confronting is exactly what we want the military to do. We have never wanted the military to take matters into their own hands.” — T&P]

they clearly needed more resilience training. perhaps instruction that they were not there as a noise patrol or a neighborhood watch they were there to stop crime not created.. they failed the second block war.. they actually ought to get back to guarding the sandwich shops and subways.

Borderliners: [The new fee applies to anyone who receives humanitarian parole after Oct. 16, Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s [aka, Krusti Gnome] office said Thursday.

The agency says it is to prevent fraud and increase accountability.

“Through the implementation of this new fee, President Trump and Secretary Noem are guaranteeing that foreign nationals, who wish to stay here, have skin in the game and do not exploit the system. This immigration parole fee notice is another tool to stop the degradation of our immigration system and restore law and order to our country,” Homeland Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.]

Skin in the game, aka, welcome to the casino, sucker.

your shut-down forces hard at work in rubber boats on the Rio Grande.

privatization of government .. The troops don’t get paid, but we get new toys to populate Barbies dream house ..
