@npub1852…x2gm That's a good one.

@npub1852…x2gm Those engines seem to point in the wrong direction... 😁

@npub1852…x2gm This looks weirdly familiar - there was an artists in the 70s doing scifi book covers that had the same vibe and also - and I'm pretty sure about that -low flying giant space ships with striped color schemes.

@npub1852…x2gm Whoa. Going off into a new direction there.

@npub1psd…9sr7 @npub1f5c…hqzn In some ways it would be safer if Boeing just rolls new airplanes out of the factory and over a cliff into the ocean. Great tax write-off! 😅
But yes, cancelling finished movies and TV shows is insane. A perversion of the Hollywood system and a stunning display of disrespect to the people that worked hard to make these shows.

@npub1qag…9gyn I’m 100% sure we will see AI systems in the near future where it is impossible to proof that they are not “intelligent”. They won’t work like our brains and won’t have human consciousness - but they will be able to verbally project a “me”, a consistent personality.
At that point we are going to have a complex ethical problem on our hands.
The funny thing is, we all watched seemingly intelligent droids in movies for decades, but we never considered what such a world would truly be like.

@npub1psd…9sr7 @npub1f5c…hqzn This is a great way to drive core creative team members out of his studio. Just keep on blabbing at full volume how to replace 90% of the staff and how little he values these artists. Everyone working there is right now updating their portfolios.

@npub1qag…9gyn ChatGPT and its peers are bringing out strong feelings in people, and not just because of imminent job loss or training data issues.
In every recent discussion about AI, there is a certain percentage of people arguing that it just can’t be. There is no possible proof for this argument since we don’t know how consciousness works.
If in five years from now an AI system is supremely eloquent, charming and convincing, what are we going to do?
Saying that it can’t be won’t be enough.

@npub1qag…9gyn Hmmm… “The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching” - we will need a citation for that statement, if possible from an alien species.
All of us are looking at human intelligence from the inside, and whatever we think we are doing in our heads is subjective.
One thing that ChatGPT has done, it made me question how much of my thoughts are not just learned responses and pattern matching.
