Aww!

That one really is a banger. But watching that video again, I can't get over how terrible the vocals would actually sound if she was up on the mic like that.

Oh man Garak is one of the best characters in Trek. And that's a competitive list.

Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you but let me reassure that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid scientific documented evidence and you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true where was I?

Man if a movie was ever prescient...

Yes! I remember when they first introduced it and I had to make sure I wasn't hallucinating that the cursor was blowing up.

Do you have any theories as to why this is the case? I haven't gone anywhere near it, so I have no idea. I imagine it's tied up with the way it processes things from a language-first perspective, which I gather is why it's bad at math. I really don't understand enough to wrap my head around why we can't seem to combine LLM and traditional computational logic.

Katamari Damacy is the first one.

My sense in reading the article was not that the author thinks artificial general intelligence is impossible, but that we're a lot farther away from it than recent events might lead you to believe. The whole article is about the human tendency to conflate language ability and intelligence, and the author is making the argument both that natural language does not imply understanding of meaning and that those financially invested in current "AI" benefit from the popular assumption that it does. The appearance or perception of intelligence increases the market value of AIs, even if what they're doing is more analogous to the actions of a very sophisticated parrot.

Edit all of which is to say, I don't think the article is asserting that true AI is impossible, just that there's a lot more to it than smooth language usage. I don't think she'd say never, but probably that there's a lot more to figure out—a good deal more than some seem to think—before we get Skynet.

Good to know. Thanks.

Zoom out if necessary. It's the band of the town/area.

I think the wording of your first comment may also have been a tad confusing. It was hard for me to tell whether you were saying OP was a hypocrite for not contributing more or that it might be a bit early for OP to draw conclusions.
