  • AI makes shit up. (PowerLine)
    Crawford H. "Chet" Taylor served as the 14th governor of South Dakota, from 1949 to 1951. Taylor was born on July 23, 1915, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and he grew up in nearby Flandreau. Taylor attended the University of South Dakota, where he earned a law degree.
    Of course, this is ChatGPT "hallucinating" again. Chet Taylor not only was never elected governor of South Dakota, no such person ever existed.

    While Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is announcing incomprehensibly expensive AI supercomputers at Computex, the actual results of generative AI - in the field of language and information, where all the interest and the big money is right now - are frankly, shit.

    Things are looking much better when it comes to AI-generated art, because there the look of the thing is what matters. Is that a period-accurate representation of 2nd century Rome in the background behind the topless gladiatrix? Nobody cares, so long as it looks good.

    Well, one person cares. We'll get to him.

    And Chet Taylor looks good too. He's just not real. And since ChatGPT can't sustain a hallucination long enough to form a coherent short story, just for a couple of paragraphs, it's utterly valueless.

    Nvidia still has a valuation greater than AMD and Intel combined, but at least one corner of that market cap is built on sand.

That One Person Who Cares Video of the Day

He actually discusses the historicity of topless Roman gladiatrices in another video (spoiler: they were real, and spectacular). Here he's just debunking the notion - nearly Jaynesian in its vapidity - that the ancient Greeks couldn't see the colour blue.



Well-researched and well-argued, including a deconstruction of an old RadioLab episode that I had assumed was largely accurate. He is careful to address the argument rather than attacking the arguer except in the case of the BBC, who just made shit up and fully deserve it.


Disclaimer: It's doesn't look blue, it just looks like it looks blue.

Anyway: I watched Time Bandits last night for the first time since the film was new. Some of my melatonin-fueled dreams have been a lot like Terry Gilliam's visions on film, I think. A fun movie. Though the only part I could recall from years ago was Sean Connery's turn as King Agamemnon.

15 "Jaynesian in its vapidity" -- good line, but I don't know who Jaynes was?

How could anyone conclude that the Greeks couldn't see the color blue? The sky has not changed in human history. And the Aegean area had a lot of sky. It was right above them! If their language doesn't seem to have a word for "blue," maybe the real word for "blue" has been mistranslated.

20 The video about the color blue was fantastic. My take away is all Youtube personalities are in fact fronts for ChatGPT which is a proven liar. I love all the lunatic stuff about ancient aliens, big foot, and now, that the Greeks, when they weren't butt buggering each other, were color blind. But that doesn't mean I buy into the lunacy that ignores the obvious except for the 1950s movie Them which as a kid I knew was a documentary because it was well known that atomic bomb radiation caused mutations and we still haven't begun to discuss Superman and Kryptonite.

In conclusion I can say this: Lapis Lazuli. Look it up. There might even be a YouTube video about it.

56 The Greeks spoke to trees . . . I know the ancient Romans' religion was animistic, that they assumed there were minor gods in everything from rocks to trees as well as the sea and sky. Did the early Greeks think so too? Their classic mythology assumed gods and goddesses *in charge of* nearly everything, but did the Greeks or their predecessors think the trees, for instance, actually contained wood nymphs?

“We will not openly out any student because of one law if we know that that’s going to cause harm to that child,” Fargo Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Rupak Gandhi said.

This has nothing to do with the law. This is EVIL as real as Hitler Youth or Mao's cultural revolution. There is enough normal strain in families without a large, manipulative government force adding additional wedges and walls between parents and their children.

171 It should be no surprise that AI "makes shit up". ChatGPT and its analogues are designed to synthesize material that mimics the material in its database. They have no notion of "true" or "false" or "verifiable", let alone any notion of the requirements of science or the law. When asked to generate a legal brief or a scientific paper, it will synthesize *all* of the brief or paper, including citations.

For this reason, anyone who wants to incorporate a text synthesizer like ChatGPT into a search engine has rocks in his head. What it may well do is synthesize "references" to fulfill your query, and inquirer will have no easy way to tell the genuine links from the fakes.

Do not get your history from YouTubers.

We have _exactly one_ reference to female gladiators in the entire corpus, and it's a partial stela that shows two female gladiators fighting. And they're not topless. That's it. The context was not preserved, so we have no idea if the stela represents something that was real, if it's artistic, if it was some kind of joke, whatever. Aside from that stela we have absolutely no explicit, reliable references to female _gladiators_ whatsoever. (Women taking part in the Games, yes, but there was a lot more to the games than gladiator fights).

But you can't monetize a 30 second "we don't actually know" video.
