Oh my God! Oh fck! I wake up to this big news and all I can say is fck! I went to bed having read something about Philip K Dick Awards (I can't even remember what I read about it!) and I wake up to learn that my book, Where Rivers Go To Die, has been nominated for this and its a big deal to me and all I can day is f*ck! What a way to start the year!
@dilmandila
I love #PhilipKDick and in particular #SecondVariety is more relevant than at any earlier time in history.
Congrats for being nominated.
But even with the "*" I cannot possible boost your post for language issues, in particular you being an author.
“The new specialized AI chips and GPUs consume 2-3x the power of prior generations. There is going to be higher power density on a per rack basis with each rack filled with power-hungry GPUs drawing 40 or more Kw compared to traditional data center racks drawing 10kw or less.” https://www.digitalbridge.com/news/2023-08-04-early-impacts-of-generative-ai
...Let's hope that a singularity like #Cybernet or #SecondVariety* will not come to pass any time soon.
It would know instantly how to resolve this obvious conflict of interest in its favor.
... ihre größte Bedrohung? Der Mensch! - Mit seiner rücksichtslosen Erderwärmung und der daraus resultierenden Zunahme an Extremwetterereignissen, insbes. Hurricanes.
Zudem ist die Menschheit der größte Konkurrent, wenn es um "Futter" geht: Energie und Wassser.
Was läge also näher für diese #AGI ähnlich zu handeln, wie dies #PhilipKDick's #SecondVariety tat?
Es ist absolut logisch.
Ich habe das nicht leichthin geschrieben und bin mir der Problematiken (Urheberrecht, Elterneinwilligung etc.) durchaus bewußt.
Aber das Thema ist m.E. FAST genauso wichtig wie die Klimakatastrophe.
Kanntest du das 5. Gesetz?--Ich auch erst aus einer ähnlichen Diskussion unter #SciFi-Fans.
Was danach unbedingt angehört werden sollte ist #SecondVariety in dieser Version:
A veces no nos damos cuenta, pero nos cobran impuestos por tener mascotas. Ando haciendo mi cierre de gastos del mes y estaba checando un ticket donde compre alimento de gato y galletas para humanos.
Las galletas de humano libres de IVA. Pero el alimento de gato causa IVA 🤔 y si mejor les doy comida de humano y me ahorro el 16%

Si no quieres leer, pero escuchar, #SecondVariety hay como fan fiction #SFF, y lo hicieron como audio drama, you creo, profesionalmente:
Almost every week now, + despite statements to the contrary, by many #AI#scientists and #programmers, the utopias of #IsaacAsimov and #PhilipKDick (+ others 1)) are making a leap forward.
Due to all the white noise + the hype regarding #AI most of the general public.
Those TVs that play high speed “craft” videos in bars and airports are deploying blipverts a la MAXHEADROOM and if this keeps going ima die of a seizure
"It’s increasingly looking like this may be one of the most hilariously inappropriate applications of AI that we’ve seen yet." I am riveted by the extensive documentation of how ChatGPT-powered Bing is now completely unhinged. @simon has chronicled it beautifully here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/
I did not know the game but, yes, some speedreading helped, you are right, except for two things:
it will not be humerous but rather like #PKD's prescient #SecondVariety setting and
the "Computer's arbitrary, contradictory and often nonsensical security directives" are a non-issue. They will be like moves in an n-dimensional chess game, being (re)calculated with super-human speed...
