I think maybe the reason is more arbitrary, as here look at this 90s author's symbolism, it's not just the old classics that are readable in-depth; contemporary style etc
What if our todo list/commits/issue tracker could affect the blob and bloat could kill him? no?
This might also see a long shelf life, say, as familiars of fantasy rpgs, as pets from a fictionalized world-building narrative online; I guess it could be so for any LLM in principle, but the basic Sims-like gamification behind a tamagotchi seems like a solid foundation for those usecases.
If you use it in a utilitarian way it'll give you a run for your money, if you use for expression, such as art, learning to embrace some serendipity, it makes good stuff.
But the tome's weight is borne up by the table, whereas throwing any light in your face will affect your eyes. Possibly dawn and twilight gazing are quite beneficial.
The author of GEB is a phenomenal writer, an old-style researcher who knew his greek, and the book for me is more interesting in its commentary on literature, and psychology, approaching themes of say, Foucault.
I don't know about the work's true impact on AI or tech languages, but it's a masterpiece of criticism, analysis and penmanship.
Psychology is not inherently treated as soft, it's jusst that its human element attracts intuitive people much more than rational ones. If nore rationally minded people took up the study and research of psychology fields, more hard stuff would come to the front, although soft stuff is hardly behind in intelligence.
If really it is to become widespread it means we as society really got completely lost in the fold. It would be an act of defeat of the human element. But the magnates gonna love it.
But octopi is also trying to be pedantically latin, octopodes though it could be pedantic is at least correct, and entirely descriptive. In practice I wouldn't expect someone to say octopi to my face, but writing weird words online is another matter.
I see how AI is used today and extrapolate. A lot. Everything in tech is extrapolation with the march of capital. It takes one to know one; rather it takes a smart ass to wield a smart tool. So the smart get smarter.
Is it a separate phenomenon, in the big picture, from the rich getting richer, from the monopolies over means of production?
Not sure, but I see as well that the dumb will surely get dumber; that "intelligence" will be a product of using intelligent humans' means of production, and not owning them of course, but being owned in the process. Populations will be literally made lighter of their smarts, outsourcing intelligence to agents out of general control (classic bait and switch.) Since AI feel my own process getting more clueless as I go, I'd better conclude somehow.
I see the Age of Ignorance ahead, there was once an Enlightenment, and here light takes on its other side or meaning, the workers being enlightened, to wit, made lighter of their horrible burden which is intelligence and its obnoxious demands of upkeep. Just pay someone for upkeep and stop messing with wet messy neurons already, says the technocrat to the cheerful mob.
I wouldn't consider your months spent on it in any way wasted, even if you have native critics, it's a kind of ad-hoc anthropological resource that you add to the pool of tools available in the web, and on the long run I think it will have a good impact.
Thanks for your review also and yes it's still early days, tons to do but of the fun type. I'll look into Manitoba as I have relatives which may be related to the cultures you mentioned, thank you!
When you say syllabics it reminds me of syllabaries (?) of mesopotamian languages and hieroglyphs, but I guess it's just the terms sounding alike.
Yes it is right up my hacking alley. I'm working too with two-way asymmetric conversions between languages/charsets as noted in this thread. It's interesting to have such a niche tech challenge associated with your ethnic group of languages. In Manitoba are any of those spoken?
Then congrats all the more on this work, I had assumed a motivation from attachment also. As for the tech stacks and langs yeah they're fun, but I meant in how abstract Inuktitut looks, I guess the human language in the loop is the real meat of the problem and of the "working with".
