Here's a key insight from @JuliusGoat

"It almost makes you think that the way you build the world’s biggest fortune is not by creating anything, but by buying it, then identifying the value of it, then figuring out where the pieces would fall if you destroyed it, and then being in that place, and then destroying it."

Recently I hosted a fantastic workshop at the Santa Fe Institute, entitled "AI and the Barrier of Meaning 2". Description below.

We had eminent speakers from many fields to discuss these issues, including AI, cognitive psychology, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, complex systems, and law.

Most of the talks are now on SFI's YouTube channel. Here's a link to the entire playlist:

It would be nice if all the geniuses working on LLMs to take over the world could divert their energy for a few months to help Microsoft & Adobe & other software companies get their existing software to work.

By the time I get logged in to all the sites I use w/ 2FA & have all the software I use up & running, there's something broken that needs restarting or rebooting.

Idea: Feed Windows system error logs into ChatGPT-like service & have it tell you how to fix all the problems on your machine.

One of my favorite obscure data finds recently is that NJ keeps a fairly meticulous record (and has since the 30s!) of all the notable trees in the state. It's called ... The Big Tree List.

I can say w/ confidence this is one of the best kept public data sets in New Jersey.

Playing around with ChatGPT's ability to write software. This response started off looking very promising, but it seems to have gotten itself into an infinite loop and eventually terminated without completing the function. (The 'rwm' string repeats until about column no. 961, when the function just ends.)
