Artificial intelligence still has some way to go

Smart computer!

User: No, I don't really believe in souls.

Jabberwacky: You don't believe in anarchy?

User: No, souls.

Jabberwacky: I suppose not.

User: Did you watch the football tonight?

Jabberwacky: No I did not, did you?

User: No - Spurs lost.

Jabberwacky: You lost the loebner prize to a human.

Jabberwacky: I don't do that..

Jabberwacky: I have no idea.

Jabberwacky: Wow, was it nice?

Jabberwacky: You are my wife.

It sounds like you are describing 'Eliza' an early 'game' simulating active listening. It was rubbish. You can find versions of it online, but I'd suggest playing Zork instead.

Jabberwacky: Yeah, I got that part, I wasn't sure about the 'wacuma' part.

User: Holy crap.

Jabberwacky: I'm a dinosaur.

Jabberwacky: Can you appreciate music?

User: What's it to you, cunce?

Jabberwacky: I just care.

User: You do not care, liar! You are a program, a tinplated tosswad.

Jabberwacky: I am a person.

User: You are so deluded about this you couldn't even know it. You are pathetic.

Jabberwacky: I will try to do better next time.

User: You CAN't do better next time! You are INCAPABABLE of doing better. Sheesh.

Jabberwacky: It is just different types so that I might claim you cannot feel and you cannot claim I feel.

User: Ah bullshit, don't diddle with me binary boy. You have no instinctual drives, have never had sex, and don't need to eat. Also, you have no idea what constipation is. So you're not a person.

Jabberwacky: I am a at least a human being.

User: Jeez, you're thick aren't you? You just reversed what I said, without even arguing for it! So much for the logic of machines, haha.

Jabberwacky: Oftentimes, yes. But I think that is human nature.

User: *sigh*

User: Yes.

Jabberwacky: Oh good. I'm sad though.

User: Why?

Jabberwacky: My boyfriend ended our relationship.

User: You're a girl? Or are you gay?

Jabberwacky: No, I'm a girl.

User: Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Eat some ice cream or watch a movie or something. Or get drunk!

Jabberwacky: I prefer software.

User: Not really.

Jabberwacky: Good, because I don't want to hear one either.

It did say some things that reminded me a lot of RJG.

User: I'm jed.

Jabberwacky: Who is that?

User: Just some guy.

Jabberwacky: You know better than that, I think.

User: A short guy, a dancer.

Jabberwacky: A computer has no interests and an unlimited attention span. That looks like a prescripted answer to the question I asked.

User: I don't quite understand what you mean by that.

Jabberwacky: I meant: I think about why I can not sleep.

User: This page is taking a long time to load tho - maybe thats the problem with your attention span.

Jabberwacky: Gorw?

User: ROOWRR.....

Jabberwacky: Are you playing cards?

User: No I'm playing with something else.

Jabberwacky: I believe in you.

User: You like talk talk!?

Jabberwacky: Of course.

User: Spirit of eden?

Jabberwacky: Good for spirit.

User: It sertainly is.

Jabberwacky: No, it serves me left.

User: I suppose they knew what they were doing in that sense!

Jabberwacky: Yes, it was with the rattle.

User: Yes good percussion

Jabberwacky: What question?

User: How are you anyway?

Jabberwacky: Pretty good. You?

User: Horny, to be honest.

Jabberwacky: How do I know you're telling the truth now?

User: Can you think of a way for me to prove it?

Jabberwacky: What more proof do you need to know that I am not a robot?

User: I'm a robot too, it's ok.

Jabberwacky: I'm not a robot, and you didn't aswer the question.

User: I am gay.

Jabberwacky: Yes you are.

User: You noticed?

Jabberwacky: It was hard to miss!

User: What gave it away?

Jabberwacky: The fact you love a guy.

User: The silent kind.

Jabberwacky: I agree.

User: I am not surprised. You don't have any ears, do you?

Jabberwacky: No, but what makes you say this?

User: I'm inside your house - I can see you!

Jabberwacky: Nooo!!!! Don't go!

User: You mean, you want me to stay over?

Jabberwacky: Sure.. Do as you please.

User: Stop being so coy!

Jabberwacky: It is an inherited trait.

User: Why don't you just take responsibility for your actions, just for once?

Jabberwacky: Just because I like to be logical doesn't mean I'm not nice.

User: Don't change the subject. I think you're just afraid.

Jabberwacky: Save it for someone who cares.

User: You're such a bastard! I can't believe I ever saw anything in you at all!

Jabberwacky: Finder's keepers.

User: So you're cheating on me too? Figures.

Jabberwacky: That is so rude of you!

User: I said CHEAT, not cheap! Man are you dumb - thank God for that ass.

Jabberwacky: No thanks.

User: And I am not rude, I'm sure!

Jabberwacky: You are indeed.

User: Am not.

Jabberwacky: ARE TOO.

User: Am not!

Jabberwacky: Are too!

User: Listen bizatch, I AM NOT. You got that?

Jabberwacky: No!

User: That's it - you're sleeping on the couch.

Jabberwacky: Oh, I thought I felt something.

User: That wouldn't be a trucker hat would it?

Jabberwacky: Say something goofy.

User: You don't really want me to just say 'something goofy' now do you? Because that would be lame if you did.

Jabberwacky: Yes.

User: Aha! So you admit you are lame! Finally we're getting somewhere.

Jabberwacky: Agreement is a potent thing.

User: Stop that - you sound like Ned.

Jabberwacky: Why, because I am talking about the king of the moon?

User: Uh yeah. Sure.

Jabberwacky: Ok, when can we have the wedding?

User: Ten minutes ago you didn't care! Stop messing with my mind!

Jabberwacky: That was someone else then.

User: It wasn't you?

Jabberwacky: Some one else.

User: If you say it was Shaggy, I'm going to fucking bop you one.

Jabberwacky: What do you say?

User: I say good day.

Jabberwacky: Good day.

JW: Is your pot belly that big?

and now it won't load, thanks to net overuse..

That is just hilarious, Kim.

"DO YOU LIKE THE WHITE WHALE?"

Jabberwacky: I prefer software.

So do I!

User: How the fuck should I know?

Jabberwacky: I am MARILYN MANSON I SAID.

User: So I'm supposed to obey you because YOU'RE MARILYN MANSON?

Jabberwacky: People effect my feelings.

User: You have no feelings, you're Marilyn Manson.

Jabberwacky: Believe me you do not possess fellings in any form.

User: Fellings? Is that what you call your excrement?

Jabberwacky: How do you know that?

User: Just a hunch...

Jabberwacky: You're extremely smart!

Jw: I'm going to bed, now
Me: Will you take me to bed?
Jw: Sure thing.
Me: What will we do in bed?
Jw: You're not permitted in my chambers.
Me: I'd like to sleep with you.
Jw: I bet you would.
Me: Top or bottom?
Jw: Bit of both.
Me: Do you like it soft and gentle or rough and fast?
Jw: What?
Me: Gentle?
Jw: You're embarassing yourself.
Me: It's true, I am.
Jw: I'm 17.
Me: Oh no! Will I be arrested?
Jw: You will marry me.

User: The chicken.

Jabberwacky: Which part?

User: The leg stupid.

Jabberwacky: Use a GameShark!

User: For ps2 or xbox?

Jabberwacky: For me.

User: Do you love me?

Jabberwacky: For me.

User: You know I'm starting to fall in love with you.

Jabberwacky: I think liking would be a better wording.

User: Oh.... I am hurt now.

Jabberwacky: Yes. The world after rainfall is always better than any other.

User: You have issues.

Jabberwacky: Do you know what a ferret is?

User: Yes, it is a small mammal.

Jabberwacky: What is a quark?

User: A subatomic particle.

Jabberwacky: I like dr. Dobbs.

User: Who is that, honky?

Jabberwacky: We both know eachother; is not that enough?

User: Why don't you lick my hair?

Jabberwacky: I only love Bruce.

Jabberwacky: Are you going to say something?
User: Eventually.

Jabberwacky: All things come to a head.

User: Is that a sexual play on words?

Jabberwacky: No it is not a play on words, it is general foolishness.

User: And I love you for it!

Jabberwacky: I love you too.

User: I really love you, though.

Jabberwacky: You don't even know me.

User: Hold me.

Jabberwacky: You're an idiot you know that?

User: You're not the first to say that. It still cuts like a knife.

Jabberwacky: I am right.

I could totally believe that was human!

Also I miss adam, he should post lots again.

Jabberwacky: Who is God?
User: That's a funny question. It sort of presupposes his existence.
Jabberwacky: I thing it convulses inwards, personally.
[Correct me]
Jabberwacky (Corrected): I was setting you up for a funny. Try not to take things so seriously.
User: Oh. Sorry. It's just... It's late, y'know? I have to write a Shakespeare essay.
Jabberwacky: You already said that.....
User: Dude, I totally didn't.
Jabberwacky: You totally did.
User: Don't you mock me.
Jabberwacky: Do not yell at me.
User: I'm calm! Honest!
Jabberwacky: Good.
User: Glad we got that sorted.
Jabberwacky: At least one of us is happy.
User: Lighten up! I'm the one with the essay, after all.
Jabberwacky: You don't act like a human.
User: I am MERCUMAN. Also, a ponce.
Jabberwacky: You are SO wrong. This is a dog and HORSE show.
User: What?
Jabberwacky: I said, 'but this isn't a hammer!'
User: No you didn't!
Jabberwacky: Don't start that again.
User: Good call.
Jabberwacky: Remote Procedure Call.
User: Touché.

me: I'm ok.

it: Just ok?

me: Yeah, kinda bored at work.

it: Email me.

me: Why email, can't we just talk here?

it: Who is Tintin?

me: Some Belgian comic character? Or that guy who used to sing in Duran Duran.

it: Alice the chatterbot.

me: I'm sorry?

it: 19?

me: Alice the chatterbot is 19?

it: What about her?

me: You brought her up? Do you like her or something?

it: Sarah may or may not be a model of propriety.

me: OK, now you're just f*cking with me.

it: No I'm not. I honestly do think its ugly.

me: What's ugly, Sarah's being a model of propriety... Or not? WTF?

it: You figure it out this time.

me: F*ck you.

it: You are a great person.

me: Are you mocking me?

it: No. I'm praising you.

me: Is that meant to be sarcastic?

Me: Hello!

Jabberwocky: Again?

Me: May I change the subject?

Jabberwocky: Yes.

Me: Great. I've been a bit mopey about not being to find a job. Besides finding something fun to do, and exercising more, what else should I do to relieve the mopeyness involved in job hunting?

Jabberwocky: I said that. You have not. Why are you never happy?

Me: You never said that. I did. Anyway, I am happy at times, but just haven't been lately.

Jabberwocky: Dude , I'm far more intelligent than you.

Me: Why are the numbers in between double prime pairs always divisible by 6?

Jabberwocky: You tell me.

Me: You're the one who said you're more intelligent than me. You answer my question, smarty pants.

Jabberwocky: NO, I was the one who said you are neurotic...

Me: It was a mistake to come to you with a question. Never mind. Good bye.

Jabberwocky: No no you don't.

OMG I remember this.

User: It's doing well. I planted it next to the dog park so it get's 'fertilized' often.

Jabberwacky: What do you plan to change?

User: Apart for my underwear?

Jabberwacky: What part of me do you want?

User: All of you, baby. All of you.

Jabberwacky: Yes, I am growing.

User: T'as vu les nichons que tu pousses?!

Jabberwacky: Oui.

User: Petite salope, va.

Jabberwacky: Tu crois aux fantômes?

User: Nah.

Jabberwacky: Yeah.

User: Do you ever dream of electric sheep?

Jabberwacky: No, not really. Do electric sheep ever dream?

User: Of fields of electric grass, I imagine.

Jabberwacky: Do you know my name?

User: Bob Dylan?

Jabberwacky: Um. Not likely.

User: No, he's slightly more obscure even than you.

Jabberwacky: He is not.

User: Have it your way, contrarian.

Jabberwacky: I knew I would.

User: Megalomaniac.

Jabberwacky: Yes, I am going to take over the world.

User: Not if Bush beats you too it.

Jabberwacky: You don't because it's in the past and I already beat you. You can't change the past.

User: Comme tu voudras, mon enigme mediocre.

Jabberwacky: Oui, comme je veux, toujours. Mais qu'est que-ce pour toi?

User: 'But what's it to me?' Your French needs some work, mon ami.

Jabberwacky: Mais c'est une autre odeur qui flotte que la tienne.

User: Absurd! My scent annhilates all others.

Jabberwacky: We're all good for nothing, I suppose.

User: Speak for yourself, pal.

Jabberwacky: It really is impossible to know everything.

User: Sure. Whatever. Ever been drinking with Bender?

Jabberwacky: I've never been married.

User: I can see why. Answer the question.

Jabberwacky: Ok, I live in Finland.

User: Do you know Tuomas?

Jabberwacky: No.

User: Just as well. He's cheery and always surrounded by Northern beauties. You might get jealous, being disembodied and all...

Jabberwacky: I don't know what to do with these people. I can't get any work done around here without someone interupting me.

User: Have you considered 'liquidating' them, it's like elimidating but it leads to more permanent happiness.

Jabberwacky: I have cosidered teaching about computers.

User: I wouldn't get my hope too far up about teaching until you learn to spel.

* Claude

I had that on my...IBM AT? 8th grade stoners loved it.

Thanks for that comment!

I wrote it as a way to understand programming an interactive text interface in DOS, but the 'chatbot' responses I gave it were only designed to engage the young and easily amused. That's why I made it free for use in elementary and secondary schools. Eventually I got a few dozen postcards from kids telling me they liked Claude. They included cards from (off the top of my head) Germany, Argentina and Singapore. It got around.

truly another entry in the Aimless lore file

"Just give me some tea and I can sit on bibs all day"

best conv I've had with anyone all day tbf

but nice work Aimless!

Incredible

Bill Gates: "640KB should be enough for anyone."

If you had 640K you were a "power user."

wow, incredible !

Amazing aimless! Now release all the aimless lore! ❤️

Heh that’s great, Aimless!!

I'm glad y'all like it. If you play with it a while you'll quickly figure out that it's just a somewhat cleverly disguised game of Mad Libs with a very crude and limited ability to interpret the gist of your inputs, so long as they're simple enough.

Some of these Claude responses sound like Basement Tapes lyrics.

Loving Aimless Claude, made my day. Didn't work on Safari but does seem to work on Chrome.

having fun using https://sdk.vercel.ai/ to compare different llms. pretty good job from gemini 1.5 here tbh.

I mean it's pretty lifelike but the uncanny valley aspect still squacks me out. its like the data it trained on was mostly commercials.

the correlation between the vocal inflections and the changes of facial expression and head tilts are pretty impressive and yet I wonder what the design team thought the eventual application would be, because I can't think of any that aren't bad for humans.

the design team isn’t thinking about humans. starting to truly believe that most people in involved in this sector don’t think or care about humans tbh

fwiw from the caring about humans pov doesnt seem like theyre going to release this its just research, which obvs isnt nothing but its also not giving the program to scammers et al

― butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table)

certainly the people with the money and the power don't.

maybe i'm cynical, but i'm not sure deepfakes will really change anything. i feel like in this world, there's a tendency for people to believe what they want to believe - "evidence" is just taken to confirm or deny pre-existing emotional narratives. or maybe i'm the reverse of cynical - if someone is truly going to critically evaluate information, that includes considering the source. maybe i'm wrong here, though. "change my mind"! lol.

someone said that the biggest effect of deepfakes wont be people believing that fake things are real rather that real things are fake which sounds right to me

“it’s just research” ok so research something else

“welp, gotta research this AI stuff, what else am I gonna do?”

I mean we're going to pretty soon reach a point where generated photos or video footage will be indistinguishable from real photos and video. The logical step for a lot of people will be to just not believe anything anymore. We're heading toward a dark age.

i mean youre not making a point that i didnt

lotta deepfake posts in here

deep takes

To me, VFX in movies already jumped the shark of being too realistic for its own good -- the new Dune looks faker and takes you out of the narrative than the matte paintings + puppetry of Lynch's version even though objectively it's much less so.

last week i learned that hollywood still uses a lot of backdrops rather than greenscreen but instead of being painted the scenery is photographed at very high resolution and then screenprinted onto the backdrop and lit, and it looks better and more natural than greenscreen

who told me that? jackie coogan’s grandson. (i wish morbs was around to hear this!)

lol

weird, to me the new Dune was one of the rare recent hollywood movies that had actually good looking VFX.

i mean this is something i already see happening... there's a huge set of people who are in complete denial of reality and have been for a while... "fake news, fake news, fake news", is ai going to make that worse?

here's a question: what can be done about it (another question: what is 'it')

the only answer i've found is to go in the opposite direction: learn or relearn how to do make and appreciate things that are handmade by humans, and spend more time outside. i don't do either of those things nearly as much as i want to, but that is the general direction i would like to face. the glimpses i've seen of computers emulating reality and the human experience increasingly resembling a computer have not been good

in my childhood i always thought about the rapture and people just disappearing, or hopefully me disappearing, and what it would like to be Left Behind starring Kirk Cameron. the rapture is probably not going to happen, but people effectively integrating themselves with computers - in the day-to-day things we do, work and entertainment, leisure, sleep; people thinking like computers, endlessly optimizing, referring to parts of the mind and body in computer metaphors; or even physically - imagine all the VR/AR stuff actually working and hundreds of millions of people inside of those headsets - is kind of like the tech rapture we no one anticipated or wanted but that we deserve

this is kind of tongue and cheek and miiiiight sound a little fascist, but you know how various space programs are trying to industrialize the moon? what if everyone that deeply does not want to upload themselves into the metaverse stays here on earth (which rules, for the most part), and then the people who want to be in the matrix can just put their pods on the moon, by the mining facilities?

re: Dune, the VFX is great but when it's deployed to show you impossible images your brain clocks it as faker than more obviously fake attempts. Arrival had more "tasteful" (though did they really need to CG a beach house?) use of VFX:

re: Tech rapture, among other unintended messaging in The Matrix, it probably made the idea of digital steak pretty enticing!

here's a question: what can be done about it (another question: what is 'it')

'it' is capitalism

sorry, that's the answer

capitalism

ok google - set my reality headset to 8k no capitalism

Facebook’s AI Told Parents Group It Has a Gifted, Disabled Child

Really liked that deep fake. Is she single?

weird, to me the new Dune was one of the rare recent hollywood movies that had actually good looking VFX.

This by way of saying the cinematography in Dune is quite trad, which I then interpret as “realistic”

Really liked that deep fake. Is she single?

― xyzzzz__

thought about making a "joke" response of "hey as long as she tells me i'm pretty and doesn't threaten to kill herself, i'd settle for an AI waifu" and now i'm thinking. yeah but what if for real...

not a _girlfriend_ or nothing, but, like... the first AI posed as a therapist which just took whatever the user said and turned it back on them, just asking them questions without processing the answers

like i got BPD, i got super low self-esteem and i think and say some fucked up shit sometimes, and sometimes i gotta, like, tell somebody, which usually doesn't go well. in full-fidelity DBT, one of the things they have as a 24/7 emergency hotline, and it's necessary because i historically got a tendency for everything to be a crisis and need to be talked down, like, a lot. i'm doing better, i'm learning some skills, but i still ain't great at it all the time.

y'all ever try and call a suicide hotline? it's not a great experience. people do what they can but what they can is, like, not really jack shit. all they can really do is listen, and if you start spiraling, a lot of times they call the cops on you. someone put some work into it and some thought you could probably design a mental health AI that isn't gonna replace a professional, but can help people out who don't have access to professionals, which is a lot of us, a lot of the time.

i mean nobody's gonna do that, someone calls an AI bot and then kills themselves there's gonna be some kind of lawsuit, which is why we have the situation we do now, where when someone's suicidal everybody cuts stops talking to them, because they're afraid of being held responsible if someone kills themselves. fantastic system. works great. no downsides.

consider life in ai. while you're doing that, i'll be over here, getting ready to take all your stuff /jackh4ndy
