You wouldn’t take irreversible actions if you didn’t know what the fuck you were doing.

I would add for clarity "...if you knew you didn't know...." [edit:] did not realize this reaction would take the form of a separate comment, ah well serves the same function I guess.

The premise seems like a hard ask, though if we assume precise control over all shapes on all 'observable' levels, I feel there is always background noise, radiation of different kinds, so when you are not in the same position there will be slightly different values reaching you.[edit: so when this reaches biological systems it will always affect them slightly. So you could probably just sit there, only if we are looking for an observable threshold you might be there a while depending on levels]

I am slightly intrigued by this game, as it seems to look like how I approach things in general when I have enough time and information to do so. Just an interesting aside, I like that people are also doing these kinds of things after all, or at least attempting to. As I am by no means "successful" with my method, it does seem to be the only way I can get myself to undertake something when it is important to me that I could at least have a somewhat realistic chance at succeeding.

I could also delete my other comment, though I thought to retract would also mean deletion, but whatever. If no one is interested I will not expend any effort to try and "fix" some perceived "flaws", as I am aware of my own subjectiveness, of course. It is clear that this type of "train of thought" is unwanted here, so slightly disappointed I will take my leave. [edit] Maybe I overreacted with my previous statement, though putting a not insignificant amount of time into trying to explain some intricate points does feel bad when you are met with silence.&nb...

For someone who has also had some experience gathering their thoughts about (some of) these subjects over the years, I feel what I can glean from this message makes me somewhat unsure about the intention of the message (not trying to determine whether any specific points were meant as "markers", or perhaps points of focus). This isn't meant as a jab or anything, just my way of saying that the following could well be outside of the parameters of the intended discussion, and also represent a personal opinion, though evolved in another direction, which might ...

Hinging on real time processing of previously unknown/opaque forms of reasoning (which we might partially associate with "fuzzy logic" for example). And I felt I had failed to bring that point across successfully.

Alright, let's see. I feel there is a somewhat interesting angle to the question whether this post has been written by a GPT-variation, probably not the 3rd or 4th (public) iteration, (assuming that's how the naming scheme was laid out, as I am not completely sure of that despite having some circumstantial evidence), at least not without heavy editing and/or iterating it a good few times. As I do not seem to be able to detect the "usual" patterns these models display(ed), of course disregarding the common "as an AI..." disclaimer type stuff you would of co... (read more)

Hi, I am new here, I found this website by questioning ChatGPT about places on the internet where it would be possible to discuss and share information in a more civilized way than seems to be customary on the internet. I have read (some of) the suggested material, and some other bits here and there, so I have a general idea of what to expect. My first attempt at writing here was rejected as spam somehow, so I'll try again without making a slightly drawn out joke. So this is the second attempt, first post. Maybe.

hi :) what was your first attempt at writing? i might be able to tell you why it was rejected

Hi, I am new to the site having just registered, after reading through a couple of the posts referenced in the suggested reading list I felt comfortable enough to try to participate on this site. I feel I could possible add something to some of the discussions here, though time will tell. I did land on this site "through AI", so we'll see if that means this isn't a good place for me to land and/or pass through. Though I am slightly bending the definition of that quote and its context here (maybe). Or does finding this site by questioning an AI about possib... (read more)
