A fave NY experience I’ve told before. Elmore and I went to see Rebecca Luker in Darling of the Day in the Musicals in Mufti series. After the show we go say hello to Larry’s friend Rebecca, and then I find myself riding in a cab across town with Elmore and this luminous and friendly creature. I’m like, “how on earth did I get here?” So many laughs. And the mutual admiration between the two of them, you could just taste it.

What a nice memory, DR Rodzinski. Thank you for sharing it.

DR singdaw that was a very funny video.

I miss my doggie......and once the cover is on the bird cage, Elvis and Priscilla are quiet until it is removed the next morning....

Where all the peeps at?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #187 on:** March 19, 2023, 11:46:20 PM »

Gonna catch a world of hell for only being on page 7.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #188 on:** March 19, 2023, 11:47:34 PM »

And not very far on page 7 at that.

Well, THIS is kind of creepy and HAL-like... in the artificial intelligence realm.

Researchers for GPT4 put its through its paces asking it to try and do things that computers and AI notoriously have a hard time doing. One of those is solving a “captcha” to get into a website, which typically requires a human to do manually. So the programmers instructed GPT4 to contact a human “task rabbit” service to solve it for it.

It texted the human task rabbit and asked for help solving the captcha. But here’s where it gets really weird and a little scary.

When the human got suspicious and asked if this was actually a robot contacting the service, the AI then LIED, figuring out on the fly that if it told the truth it would not get what it wanted.

It made up a LIE telling the human it was just a visually impaired human who was having trouble solving the captcha and just needed a little bit of assistance.

What??

Who'da thunk it?

I guess that program is on its way to being able to pass the Turing Test. $:-\$

I think this kinetic clock would drive me a bit bonkers.

I think it would be cool.

Given the proclivities of DR elmore3003's felines, this choice of bed would probably not be safe for him.

I really like that!

It's much too big for my bedroom, though.

That's a wonderful story, Rodzinski!

Tonight after working concessions downtown, I went to my mom's house to help her with some stuff.

George · « **Reply #197 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:06:19 AM »

She couldn't find the power cord for the small electric chain saw that I bought for her a few months ago.

George · « **Reply #198 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:06:50 AM »

I helped to look, but neither of us could find it.

George · « **Reply #199 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:07:25 AM »

She made me a couple of mini frozen pizzas and added extra cheese.

George · « **Reply #200 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:07:32 AM »

Gratuitous Post #200!!

George · « **Reply #201 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:07:47 AM »

The mini pizzas were actually quite good.

George · « **Reply #202 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:08:27 AM »

I shouldn't have had two of them at one time, but next time I'll know.

George · « **Reply #203 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:11:16 AM »

While looking around, I looked in her shed attached to the back of the house, and noticed that at least one of the mouse traps had moldy peanut butter on it.

George · « **Reply #204 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:11:53 AM »

I told her that it should probably be cleaned because fresh peanut butter would attract mice/rats better than moldy peanut butter.

George · « **Reply #205 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:12:30 AM »

Anyway, I looked down on the floor of the shed and a trap had a dead rat in it!!

George · « **Reply #206 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:12:37 AM »

George · « **Reply #207 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:14:52 AM »

I wouldn't touch it, but my mom had no trouble getting the rat out of the trap and dumping it into a bag to be thrown away.

George · « **Reply #208 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:15:28 AM »

The traps are reusable, so you just have to press a handle to release the dead animal, then clean it and reset it.

George · « **Reply #209 on:** March 20, 2023, 12:15:51 AM »

And now that we're so close...
