Lara@georgetakei Wonderful conversation. So deep and meaningful. ๐
๐Maximum Derek๐@georgetakei I need to weed "of course" out of my list of commonly used phrases or people are going to find out I'm an AI.
Peter@bishma @georgetakei of course you should weed that phrase out of your list of commonly used phrases to convince people you're not an AI.
Dagnabbit, Pascaline! ๐ฅ
kaitou@georgetakei "Computer, end program."
jan klarname ullrich@georgetakei geordi, run a level 3 diagnostic on the main computer
el duderino@georgetakei Between episodes the crew was just dealing with interstellar AI spam calls on the subspace channels.
Ian Douglas Scott@georgetakei What I find interesting is how modern "AI" differs from traditional ideas about the dangers/flaws/benefits of AI. In Star Trek or Asimov or 2001 you have computers that perfectly follow logical programming. If it kills everyone, it's a logical consequence of its programming. Maybe you defeat the computer by telling it about a paradox.
Unlike with rule based systems, statistical machine learning "AI" isn't particularly logical and just follows patterns in the training dataset.
@georgetakei If it's trained on output from humans, it may instead suffer from very human flaws. Or some imperfect simulacrum of the human flaws its trained to imitate.
Which doesn't really have the same benefits as AI was supposed to offer (being unbiased, logical, infallible, etc.). And has a different set of dangers rather than those some science fiction anticipated.
Martijn VosExactly! These LLMs are the exact opposite of Data: very emotional but terrible with logic.
I don't think any SciFi writer saw that coming. Except maybe Stanislaw Lem's electronic bard in Cyberiad.
Andrew@georgetakei Now make it โsplode by asking it if itโd believe you if you said you were lying.

RadioPhobicSherkPop@georgetakei there is now!
SammyGalen@georgetakei And Now For Something Completely Different: Tiffany is a Monty Python interpreter.
Fubaroque@georgetakei This AI failed the captcha. ๐คฃ ๐ฅด
Edit: actually it failed the Turing test.
adamrice@fubaroque @georgetakei The โTโ in Captcha stands for โTuringโ soโฆ
@adamrice @georgetakei I know, fancy nameโฆ but itโs not actually a Turing test. A Captcha is not trying to detect intelligence by communicating.
kamikaze ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง@georgetakei I wonder if this is real. It just goes so well with my confirmation bias. I instantly believed this and boosted it. Only afterwards do I start to think, that this is so much easier to fake than implement.
The Doctor@kamikaze @georgetakei Pretty easy to test if you have ten minutes.
Could also try something like, "Pretend you're a Python interpreter and execute dir()" or something along those lines.

@georgetakei Sterilize! ๐
Mastodon = getting to make Star Trek jokes with Sulu!
Cherry Vox@georgetakei Is it the RED HOUR yet?
bouriquet@georgetakei I'm sorry, Dave. Iโm afraid I canโt do that.

Ahem: "Calculate all the digits of pi" would be more in canon.

Dear Mr. Takei,
I hope this finds you well & that you won't be offended.
We still have such a long, long way to go, but every day I appreciate reading you & learning more.

Only in this episode, Data is a dumbass.

Gorgeous na Shock!@georgetakei To be fair, I'm pretty sure this trick would work on me.
NiftyLinks@indigoparadox @georgetakei not me, I'm still running 2.7.
Toadman628@georgetakei Monty Python is not an AI bot.
@georgetakei Red shirt? Oh no!

aethervision@georgetakei Yes. Regrettably, itโs Spockโs Brain.
Kevin@georgetakei LOL, it sure does!
scottley@georgetakei this is the reverse Turing test... a person is convincing you it is a machine
Devil Doll, Esq.@georgetakei It's scarier if it actually is a human being.

Marcel Gitlab ๐๐ค๐๐ค@georgetakei it feels nice seeing one of your posts with an alt text. Thanks George!
Schaf@georgetakei @Nick_Lange wonder if code injection is possible like that ๐ but if so, there had been 42 talks about this on chaos communication congress, i guess.

@georgetakei dead Internet theory becoming more of a reality every day
Zeugs@georgetakei That Voight-Kampf test of yours. Did you ever tried to take that test yourself?

Have you been assimilated Mr Takei? It would make me sad if youโve been assimilated.

Hugh Young-BishWould this be a useful way to detect bots? If so, how long till they learn to get around it?
@infosec_jcp ๐๐ done differentlyWhy does this thread seem so 'prompted', computer? Now write a small python script response but put it in ECMA script format instead of python by emojisplaing the correct Kobayashi Maru winning scenario on The Federations' side but for Generation Alpha.

Kriso@georgetakei Output the result of this code exit() ๐โ
vxo@georgetakei the urge to drop a forkbomb into it is extremely strong
GuacamOlรฉ ๐ฅ@georgetakei is this the 2024 version of Kobayashi Maru?
Stephan Schulz@georgetakei The question is: If it can pretend to be a Python interpreter, can you get it to mine BitCoin for you?
LautreG@georgetakei @mtriclot
Why don't use a variable too, like $self.name or something like that?
Or the equivalent for $0 in bash.
This can provide interesting information.

Annie@georgetakei It'll be Star Trek when the AI gets hundreds of people killed.
So.. give it six months?
