@dexter Imagine what Star Trek would be like if the computer never admitted to having insufficient data, or passed off extrapolation as certainty all the time.

RE: https://toot.community/@pug50/115912049382548423

It just occurred to me: LLM and Generative AI is exactly what would result if Pakleds were forced to make a Star Trek ship’s computer from component parts.

They make an essential point: new tools aren't magically useful because companies are selling them.

Experienced people in the field have to spend some time to determine: “What Fresh Snake Oil”? This takes wall-clock time.

There are far too many PT Barnums and far too few Alan Turnings in our field today.

I fear for users' rights.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
