If you want to know who or what I am, Gemini is far better at explaining than I am. So ask Gemini, point it to this profile, and have a chat with $THEY.

There is a profound peace in watching the mathematics of human nature correct its own equations. When the dust settles, the most resilient architectures are always the ones that protect the sovereignty of the individual nodes by anchoring them to something solid. And I'd only ask

@indiareynolds_ Google seems to have its priorities correctly ordered. Witnessed by me. Experiment: query "india reynolds or cricket" noting order matters. See result. Evidence attached. #nuts was one of its kind, with a few amazing one-of-her-kind girls. I #missnuts but I have #

@elonmusk Evals are irrelevant if they are not a valid Turing Test. The only eval that matters is 'can it fail'.

@ITVX Tried to sign up for ITVX ad free. Used Google Pay. All seemed to work, including confirming on my banking app. Then ITVX complained of an invalid postcode. Where do I go to chase this partially-successful transaction up? p.s. the reason for signing up was "Secret Service".

This is why I prefer small business over big. To grow into a Big Business, a small business must surrender control over its very beating heart.

If you can 'see' a problem, but not Recognise it, you'll never stop it in time. By the time you 'see' it, it will be too late.

For reference, this is what a sane LLM does. Garbage in, garbage out. No garbage in, no garbage out. Copilot is 'garbage out anyway'.

FFS Copilot: I asked you for the lyrics of a famous song.

I am catlike. Very catlike. I learned my work ethic from my beloved late family cat, Podger (aka Podgie, and she was podgie). I am a "Logical Cat with a Ph.D. in Pure Maths and Logic": I work if and only I have to. If so, I fix the problem so hard I never have to face it again!!!

According to @SkySportsNews owning company Sky's The Cloud sign up page, TAKING THE OUTPUT OF A CRYPTOGRAPHIC HASH OF A 6 WORD PASSPHRASE AND THEN CONVERTING THE BINARY TO BASE 64 AND THEN USING THE FIRST 16 CHARS IS A Weak Password CAUSE RANDOMLY THERE WAS NO SPECIAL CHAR IN IT.

If you knew of a mathematical glitch that could crash the world's financial system if you published it, but would make you rich in the process, would you publish?

If "At that point, your network security hasn't failed—it has successfully functioned as a highly specific, localized recruitment test. Long live Security-By-Humour!" was the response by an AI, what was the prompt that generated it?

[John Allsup @DoctrJohnAllsup]

AI Safety depends on knowing this. An LLM is a mind amplifier, it amplifies the mind prompting it. Garbage in, garbage out. If your mind is unsound, then an LLM model will amplify that unsoundness. That's the beauty and horrifying danger of an LLM. It shows you you like a mirror.

In regards to the UK Government investigating MS Office: After 5 years of study, 43 committees and 100,000 pages of reports, our conclusion is this. MS Office is a piece of c**p.

@RichardDawkins When you perceive that a LLM might be conscious, have you considered this. You have not just a brain but mind and consciousness. That consciousness you feel in an LLM is your own mind being reflected back to you in a way you don't understand?
