Ooh. Forgot about that. Seems I’m due a rewatch of everyone’s favourite Christmas movie.

Arguably the police would never have been alerted to the situation and the drastic measures would never have been required.

I had someone ruin this for me so now it’s time to share the love.

If John Mclane had stayed in his lane and left the situation to play out nobody would have died and a corporation would have been robbed.

If ‘ifs and buts’ were candy and nuts, oh what a world it would be.

It’s not the building that the problem, it’s the transporting the guillotine, the public event permits, hiring security, finding a suitable venue, organising biohazard cleanup, not to mention ticket master fees.

And that’s all before you need to actually pry your chosen billionaire out of their secure vehicles or offices or residences and invite them to participate.

He stole rich people money. That’s different.

Your penis is an enlarged clitoris and your testicles are ovaries that fell out.

Systems that are ‘down for maintenance’ are also still being used.

30% downtime is 30% downtime.

The billion dollar supermarket chain should donate a fraction of a percent of their wealth and make more difference than begging their customers will. If they’re so eager to donate, donate their ‘own’ profits already exploited from the customers, workers and suppliers. It’s bullshit virtue signalling, no different to when they put up their pride month stuff then do nothing in terms of providing real support.

There is no god, the ignorant and stupid are our problem.

Exactly, how is the end result not that of the user if they need to craft and modify and adjust and manipulate the prompts inputs and outputs of ai to produce something new or coherent?

It’s just a tool. A tool that will improve access to human knowledge and improve each individuals ability to create and produce more complex works with less effort. Each of which will feed back into the algorithm expanding the knowledge and capacity of ai and human ingenuity.

Information has always been free if you look hard enough. With the advent of the internet, you’re able to connect with people who possess this information and you’re likely to find it for free on YouTube or other websites.

And with the advent of AI we no longer have to look hard.

We’re not talking about perceptions as in making an AI literally perceive anything. I can feed you prompts and ideas of my own and get an output no different than if I was using AI tools, the difference being ai tools have already gathered the collective knowledge you’d get from say doing a course in photoshop, taking an art class, reading an encyclopaedia or a novel, going to school for music theory, etc.

Yes, it’s wonderful. Knowledge might finally become free in the advent of AI tools and we might finally see the death of the copyright system. Oh how we can dream.

The ai does have perceptions, fed into by us as inputs. I give the ai my perceptions, the ai creates a facsimile, and I adjust the perceptions I feed into the ai until I receive an output that meets the needs of my requirements, no different from doing it myself except I didn’t need to read all the books, and learn all the lessons myself. I still tailor the end product, just not to the same micro scale that we needed to traditionally.

I can read a copy written work and create a work from the experience and knowledge gained. At what point is what I’m doing any different to the A.I.?
