Interesting analogy. Basically, yeah - you’ve got to tailor how you speak to the specific topic, participants, and goals you have for what you’re trying to convey. There’s no overriding universal truth, and adaptability certainly makes for a good communicator.
Paragraphs help. Please, for the sanity of your readers use paragraphs (appropriately).
I’m still waiting for the follow-up to Rocket Ranger.
There’s some fine nuance to finding that balance, though. If the word I want to use is less well-known, but better fits what I’m trying to say (or is significantly shorter than “going the long way around”), then I’m more likely to use it. I think most everybody should strive to communicate as clearly as possible, and that may entail learning the occasional new word. Intentionally “talking down” can be insulting, as well as a step towards Idiocracy if we all start doing it together.
I get that it’s appropriate in certain situations, or for certain audiences, but I try to stretch my brain to keep it learning (and therefore more sharp), and I hope most others strive to better their communication skills as well. IMHO it’s necessary both to succeed, and to evolve.
I’d rather be who I am than let all this bullshit force me to play dumb. I earned my ability to speak (somewhat) intelligently, and I’m not going to let the AI bros discredit that effort. I, for one, refuse to contribute to the Idiocracy outcome the control freaks want.
My, what an arrogant, assuming condescension. Maybe go out and touch grass. I’d shoot you down further, but I’m not as childish as you so I know not to bother wasting my time further. Maybe we’ll talk when you outgrow your teenage-level testosterone-driven mentality. For now, blocked.
Yeah, I wanted to say “19700101000000” but wanted to be clear for those not in the habit of reading timestamps formatted the way they were back then (although the “19” was usually left off) for easy comparison. Should’ve thought to put it the way you did.
…we have all known about AI racial bias and hallucinations for many years…

AI being new…
Which is it?
What I said is demonstrably true, and - unless Thomas & Alito are dumb enough to stick things out past the current administration’s ability to replace them - we are going to be suffering the effects of the stacked Supreme Court having the final word for quite some time.
It’s funny how the UNIX epoch and my DOB happen to be the same. I wonder how many other people were “born” on 1/1/1970?
I wish I still had your capacity for hope.
I’ve little hope that this will result in any meaningful outcome, considering all the past shit that would’ve destroyed any other administration hasn’t either.
Glad to see that, but a single example does not a reliable precedent make — particularly under the current grip of the judicial system by conservatives.
They’re outsourcing the logic to the AI provider, so they can pass the buck and proclaim innocence - in some cases it’s even likely true.
If it’s the cheapest modus operandi the bean counters can find to accomplish the task, you bet they can.
This close to election time, they’re probably putting on a show — all charges will be quietly dropped after the first week of November.
<shocked Pikachu face>
I’m fairly progressive myself, while my brother is unfortunately pretty conservative (I suspect in large part due to a mixture of events in his life, and the external influences they led him into, but that’s a story I’m not going to get into). We don’t talk anymore.
I think perhaps you’re too eager to forget the past, however. There’s a reason for the saying “those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.” I’m not intellectual enough to say how much that applies to the situation we find ourselves in today, but I’d be surprised if there weren’t something along those lines having contributed to this mess.
Even if you just look at the past in a manner similar to what you just did - a measure of the progress we’ve made - I think it can provide valuable perspective, as well as a foundation to build upon.
This is an alpha version level dry run compared to what they will be able to do with a genuine AGI should they get there.
Honestly, you’ve put way more thought into it than I have. The fact they don’t have it on their official account would imply they might agree with you, however.
I’ll admit that being of an age (Gen X) straddling both generations, might make me more tolerant and willing to let such stuff go than the younger generations of today probably would. I tend to remember the skit probably a bit too fondly because my older brother loves Monty Python and this was one of the many skits he could recite by heart. I, of course, looked up to him as a kid {5 years my senior), and had no clue about what those words meant until a few decades later when I finally stumbled upon a discussion of the skit on the Internet.
My apologies if that’s still too offensive for your tastes. I can understand that, even if I don’t personally feel it. If it were something they were still promoting today, then I’d probably feel a lot less comfortable with it myself.
My guess was not wanting to be accused of underhanded marketing/promotion.
