Ex of Twitter (and many others before that) by way of mastodon.social (same user ID across a lot of platforms). Moved here because I like the ability to format posts and, sometimes, I need more than 500 characters ...plus there had been rumblings about mastodon.social getting widely defederated.

It's that time of year again...

Here’s how much I listened in 2024. My biggest day was July 25 with 1,236 minutes. You?

This year, I spent 70,976 minutes listening. Funny thing is, I typically listen to Spotify less than I do SoundCloud. Plus, I go see several shows per month of live performances.

My maternal grandfather killed Nazis (by guiding artillery fire onto them). Unless "punching" is a euphemism, I'm more for my grandfather's actions.

At work, watching a presentation on #AI & #ML. Was presented with the attached slide. It really feels like the threshold for what's considered β€” at least by some β€” "AGI" has been lowered (in favor of adding "ASI").

Then again, if you're like OpenAI's CEO when defending his product, he considers humans to be little more than glorified versions of the same kind of
#StochasticParrots that #LLMs are.

Personally, I think he's cheapening humanity and using the current inability to define "what is
actual intelligence" to bolster his product. This smacks of "scientists don't know what they're doing because they're always coming up with new theories to replace old theories".

I guess part of why I'm unlikely to ever classify the various current generation of "AI" as actually intelligent is that they all lack volition. They all lack curiosity.
