Comical AI or Computer Failure
Hi fellow Ranters,
Today I wanted to laugh a little bit on how computers act quite strangely sometimes!
Comical AI or Computer Failure
The other day I was having a nice debate with a good friend of mine on here, @invest4free about why I have a high dislike for the current state of electric vehicles (I haven't forgotten about you man! I read the comment but just working on my reply and proper information among other things :D) and I wanted to fact check myself on one of the points I was making about wind turbines to make sure I wasn't just blowing smoke up his ass, which can certainly happen and I will admit I'm wrong when I find out!
So I was doing that and using the lovely Presearch to do a quick web search and figure out what the relatively accurate information was for my query on how long wind turbine blades last, and as you can see in the snapshot below, my web query was pretty specific but then it spits out weather as one of the top results?! LOL What the hell?
What I found comical about that situation as well was that I don't even live anywhere remotely near Vietnam LOL otherwise I'd be hanging out with @trangbaby here and there! I did get the answer to my question in the end but I found it pretty funny that we trust computers with so much faith, yet sometimes when they are wrong, they are completely wrong.
Not to say that humans aren't wrong and don't screw things up, we get things wrong every single day lol but we put this religious fervor towards computers for some strange reason and they are also capable of being wrong and have things messed up and crossed so it spits out pretty inaccurate information.
I think this is a pretty relevant topic at the moment though! With the emergence of AI chats like ChatGPT and others, we need to have such a strong awareness that these things are not 100% correct all the time, every time. It was built by humans after all, for now!
We absolutely need to have safeguards against the control of AI in our daily lives because it's not going to end well, nor does it ever, when we make hasty monumental shifts like this. Hell, if people try to assimilate with AI the way the fucking Borg from Star Trek, we are going to be in deep shit as a species because of the way some crazy ass people like to control others. There is no turning back, only going forward and we need to be very careful. I didn't want the post to get dark and depressing but we are heading full speed ahead towards a cliff with only a few moments to change course to a safer direction.
It makes you wonder why people like Steve Jobs spent the last years of his life, before and during his battle with cancer, trying to fight against AI because he knew very much what it was going to be attempted to be used for and how much it will change humanity forever, and likely for the worse before the better. I hope people see the fiasco with the China flu and the medical treatments that were forced upon the world as a sign of how hasty and haphazard governments and massive companies view the actual health, safety and well being of the population of average and below people in the world. We do not matter to them besides as a business entity to extract money from. We cannot let them control the AI and even worse, implant shit into us. We are but a tool to get to their end game and absolutely nothing more. The more skepticism we have of them overall, the better we can manage the future with this type of technology, to take it slowly and make calculations instead of just jumping in with both feet. You will often land on a shard of glass and slice the fuck out of your foot.
-CmplXty. Real human written content, never AI.

Ah, I was wondering if you were going to respond to my comment 😉
I’ll wait patiently 😋
But yeah, AI is very scary. But I also think that blockchain is ideally suited to provide trustless trust that information is created by an individual instead of an AI engine.
Let's hope that blockchain can maintain some of the freedom from AI that will be forced upon us in a way that we can salvage a piece of our humanity, whatever is left at this point. A vast majority of "news" articles posted on pages like CNN, NYT and others have been written by an AI engine for quite some time now if I remember correctly. It's only a matter of time before it spreads it's cancerous tentacles elsewhere.
I was just listening to a few different podcasts on the whole EV business and there are far too many drawbacks for me to ever support them. The net energy density of an ICE far outweighs that from a cost and resource perspective of even the best EV out there right now and that in turn means increases in costs and decreases in efficiency across so many sectors. I think modern ICE cars have a 1:100 output of energy, meaning put in 1 unit of energy into the engine and it combusts and puts out 100 units of useable energy in return. EV's are 1000:1 or somewhere in that range right now. Then there's also EV's are pretty much useless in an area that gets a legitimate winter with snowfall and freezing and below freezing temperatures. Batteries of any kind perform quite poorly in frigid temperatures but ICE of various kinds (petrol and diesel) perform without any issues as long as there's a spark.
Jordan Peterson interviewed a guy the other day and I thought it was quite the fascinating podcast, you should give it a listen. It was a physicist and he had a lot of really good points that I can't begin to flesh out but I liked it because it was more analytical than political. There was balance and measure to it instead of terror and compulsion that's spewed everywhere else.
There's another point that we are also sorely missing on the EV front when it comes to this whole farce of a "carbon" discussion that is attempted to be used to drive the direction to make people go with EV instead of ICE. The world, as discussed in the podcast and a few other places, has gotten 40% greener in the most arid parts of the world since the 1980's because of the increased carbon in the atmosphere. This has shrunk desert and arid areas instead of grown them which I think is quite remarkable and beneficial for us in so many ways; food production, habitability, water conservation are just some of the key points off the bat.
AI, I see all the images popping up created by AI. I wonder. Also I have the feeling that this AI thing is going to be the nail in the coffin for humanity. Not a fan, as our breed is certainly not the one using AI for the better lol. It's going to be interesting ;).
Interesting is one way to put it! I think it's definitely a significant nail in the coffin for humanity and I wonder if previous civilizations had experienced this mistake and paid the ultimate price for it.
I've seen a lot of the AI images around and some I think are cool while others are just creepy as fuck lol. Hope you're doing well!
It's interesting that you mentioned former civilizations.
I firmly believe what we experience now is not new at all. Knowledge, technology...it has been there long ago, but whatever happened we went back to mid-evil times at some point 😄. Now we get told that all of this is new and that our generation is the one that is inventing shit and has all those brilliant scientists etc pp., even though science proofs us wrong.
Göbekli Tepe in Turkey is one of the best examples for that. 10 000 B.C. and no one can explain how they did what they did back then, just as in so many cases with vanished civilizations.
Everything was here already...maybe we get another chance to screw up 😂
AI art...is it art? Is it ones own thinking if AI is doing stuff? How much of an artist one has to be and with what kind of skills? Pretty cool pics but no personality other than the AI one. Not a fan lol.
Ah Gobekli Tepe! So glad that you know of that and the dogma surrounding all of that stuff. So I can assume you follow or have listened to Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock? I love those two. I was listening last night to another pair that seem great, jimmy Corsetti and Ben Van Kerwyk. That type of stuff fascinates me to no end! I am with you on that for sure, people screwed it up before and now we are seeing if we can do it again.
I dig this kind of topic but it ain't easy to find people that are open towards it. Still it has a taste if you talk about it lol. But if one doesn't deny the questions that are out there, there is a different perspective on everything opening up.
Names 😅, maybe but not consciously. I watch a lot on everything like scientific docs about space, physics, astronomy up to Ancient Aliens or Secrets of the Skinwalker Ranch. A place I wanna visit so bad lol.
Hell ya! I highly recommend you download Spotify and listen to Joe Rogan with him having on Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock. It’s about 10-12 hours of podcasts but holy shit if you like these things, that was such a fascinating topic and they cover it so well! Some people love or hate Rogan but the guests he has on for stuff like this are unreal and worth putting our issues and biases aside. I put his shows on while I’m cleaning and doing housework so I can listen while I work.
Where have you seen or read your stuff? If you don’t want to post on chain hit me up in discord!
Gosh I'm such a bad podcast person lol, my daily life doesn't offer me room for that lol.
Mostly I stumble upon stuff on TV if you will so. Science channels and stuff. I have a broad interest and open mind towards anything "unexplainable" or explainable but scientific. Astrophysics, biology...ahhh you name it. The thing is I get what they talk about but for the hell couldn't explain it to a person 😂.
We should be free to ramble about it openly here ✊ #thetruthisoutthere 😂
Technology going to much fast day by day. AI is a good technology but this website gives some wrong Knowledge. If someone use this website and read his article than send to other side. In Pakistan no one use electric cars because charging station is not available.
I don't think AI is a good technology because of the implications it has for so many things in our lives. It is going to completely eliminate so many jobs and completely shift the world as we know it. It will be a dark time for a while I think, perhaps it will get better but I do not foresee a positive for a while sadly, if ever. The core of my issue with it is that this AI being generated is controlled by the people that are trying to enslave us more so they are going to pump it with all kinds of heavily biased information to ensure that the algorithms stack in their favor, not ours.
Steve Jobs, Lmaooo. The Censorship Ghouls at Ghoulgools Alphabet inc. also. "Google" dumbest company name EVER. Sonds like baby talk or a gagging oral sound a whore makes... SMFH
The bite of the poison Apple. Adam and Steve not Eve, The 666 stuff.
Makes you wonder if these big tech companies and people that run them are just ass clowns or truely evil?
How many times do they ping your phone to steal your data and track you..?
Gotta love that A.I. in our desktops, laptops, and hand held cells.
I think the people at the tops of these places are quite evil and there are also many evil people throughout the world in various ways. Some nasty 666 shit!
Hah, yeah, I like playing with chat bots too. Sometimes I've actually been able to learn something new from them and sometimes... meh.
What's interesting is, for shits and giggles, I've asked one to write a blog post about a specific subject. I've done this a few times and what I've found is that, though the blog posts were correct - both semantically and epistemically - they had no emotion behind them at all. Every post followed the same template, with the same number of sentences in each. It was like reading something, well, robotic. It was pretty boring, actually.
I think I might start putting a disclaimer at the bottom of my posts: this post was written by an asshole, not an AI.
I've been enjoying my disclaimer on my posts, adds an element of humanity in an inhumane world I think!
I think that's a good call out for lack of emotion because those are things that machines have a difficult time replicating, among other things that are uniquely human.
We should be careful indeed.
Perhaps y0ur VPN was set to Vietnam ;^)
Funny thing is, I didn't have one on at the time! Lol
Then perhaps Vietnam is where the windmills are produced ;^)
