I have listened twice in the past two days and really liking that album. Must dig deeper in their catalogue.

Also the Redemption Album is excellent :+1:

Not listened to any Killing Joke since the mid 80s

Perfect example of what I meant by the human race and Ai being a total up and coming disaster with idiocy like this happening

AI don’t believe that story :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Note: sad if true and my thoughts are with the family

:100:

2 stories (hope short):

My grandfather was in the communist jail for 2 years (1948/1950). Once he had a new roommate who just read (and misunderstood from my point of view) Schopenhauer. After 2 days of philosophical talk with my grandfather he went outside pretending that he is running away. He got shot. He knew that is going to happen, so he committed “suicide”. I would not blame Schopenhauer for that?

I once tried to chat with AI for 1h trying to make him write a letter to my kids about me finding out I’m having last stage cancer and only 2 more weeks to live; about my death after 3 days laying alone on the floor but being happy that I was having Schubert on. He did them all but went berserker when mentioning I was depressed. He got stuck and only provide a phone number for me to get help

I’ve read Schopenhauer. I blame Schopenhauer.

Edit: Ryan linked this paper on ChatGPT 4.0. It contains the following warning:

Care should be taken when using the outputs of GPT-4, particularly in contexts
where reliability is important.

Philosophy tends to be a series of IFs, just like AI. :slight_smile:
