What a revolting development : Driver's License vs. Staff Card vs. Reality.

@AbroadInJapan What sort of audience is that? Still enjoyed the book.

@TychoBrahe What we are seeing is a previously theoretical or highly targeted subject develop PR and marketing departments and in some cases it isn't pretty, as even some very intelligent technical folk start to believe their own hype.

[Carl Berry @carlandrewberry]

@TychoBrahe However as we've got more impressive results we now have a situation where for the first time people are building businesses around writing AI (or "doing" AI whatever the hell that means), and if you have a business you've got to sell your product.

Every now and then folk on here seem somehow stunned by the fact that the man who sang Anarchy in the UK wasn't a fan of one of the world's largest bureaucratic organisations.

@burkov If your "business model" requires the usage of copyright material you don't have rights to use then you don't have a business model. Well not one you shouldn't be prosecuted for, this isn't hard, we don't allow this anywhere else.

@TychoBrahe Of course MidJourny know all this and are doing it anyway.

[Carl Berry @carlandrewberry]

@TychoBrahe Let them try this with medical or licensed financial data and see how quickly they get sued / arrested.

@TychoBrahe It's when the head tech decides to names his new AI thing with the same name as a Unix/Linux command that's been around for donkey's years in order to F up everyone's searches. You know, Musk Musking it up.

@DrGBuckingham Postdocs? It's above lecturer grade.

@CartoonGravity Some of Parker's predecessors been to Goodrich Castle in the past?

Written in the 8th century by the mad poet, the contents are of a forbidden knowledge that threaten any reader's sanity... No, wait... That was the Necromonicon, easy mistake to make.

Embarrassingly it turned out the Doctorial recipient was actually just several squirrels in a hat.

[Carl Berry @carlandrewberry]

@TychoBrahe Are you collaborating with Tom these days?

@alexevans91 Aha I'm going to cheat and use my 50 year old cuddly toy as a guide. Erm... Big Panda are you actually a panda or did someone just vaguely describe one to your maker?

[Carl Berry @carlandrewberry]

@codexeditor @GaryMarcus I agree, any length of pause is pointless unless something is done within it. Is there any sign of what would actually be done during this time?

[Carl Berry @carlandrewberry]

Come on boys, if you are going to try and build an AI to bring about a nightmare sci-fi scenario at least get the bloody basics right. #chatgpt @greatdismal @bruces
