My Fridays have been invaded by a tight schedule and around 2 PM I remember I should be on here! Maybe when the clocks change I can make it.

I have to head off earlier than I would otherwise, to get my partner to a doctor's appointment that was made before #SciFiChat atarted up again. But I look forward to seeing all of you next week.

Maybe we'll see @jlichtenberg.bsky.social ? I always appreciate her insights.

#scifichat sadly I’m not going to #worldcon this year. And now suddenly I am booked during #Scifichat so will miss a lot of that. Currently rereading #Murderbot Diaries on Kindle where it is big enough to see. Still and again fascinating series.

#scifichat I think they do but only in dollars worth of research. I expect them to use current AI models to program for consciousness. If adults today don’t do it, kids tomorrow will. Sorcerer’s Apprentice!!

Do the people studying the possibility of real artifical consciousness have any real grasp yet of what it would take? #scifichat

#scifichat I have all the usual excuses for missing the chat again today. Loved reading the exchange on AI but would talk more about where it will be in 20 years. Will politics defund it as happened to space travel? Or will drone warfare currently being fought fuel the leap to conscious robots?

#scifichat today a Bill got signed into law green lighting a lot of cryptocurrency actions that will dwarf current AI models. Purportedly, this law prevents the Fed from creating an official crypto dollar. I’m expecting AI will be put in charge of money movements - or take charge.

AI scientist: We took all the intelligence of the Internet and mine it for a really smart algorithmm to run our country and do all the work!

Me: Did you say “All the intelligence of the Internet”?

#scifichat and I again missed out on this chat! Too many people in the house all needing my attention. Next week likely similar - family coming!

Wyld Dandelyon @wylddandelyon.bsky.social · Jun 27

Looks like #scifichat is over for the week. I hope to see people next week!

#scifichat not making it again today. Car broke down yesterday so bumped Thurs tasks onto Friday which was already full. Scrambling but missing my favorite chat!

#scifichat wow lots of little things popping up today so not likely to make it to the chat. I’m fine just dashing around madly.

Jacqueline Lichtenberg @jlichtenberg.bsky.social · May 2

#scifichat. Not going to make it to chat today. Helping a dear friend trapped in a vile disgusting rehab facility. A novel in this! Galactic rehab place where humans lead aliens in escape to the stars.

#scifichat and sweep snow off the solar panels!

Jacqueline Lichtenberg @jlichtenberg.bsky.social · Apr 25

#scifichat has to be that human labor is cheaper than droids. or that droids are not interested in farming because they don't eat?

#scifichat oh yes ladder climbing not optional! and go up and inspect attic then up on roof to check for storm damage. Replace e a w8ndoe pane! Yes we need housekeeper and handyman robots!

#scifichat I don't need a dancer, I need a cook and laundry folder and maybe a junk sorter who can hang a picture, repair drywall and irrigation leaks, trim trees and restock groceries. Dancing optional.

#scifichat slow news week gives a chance to catch up. There is stem cell regeneration of hearing in mice, and new math raising suspicion that gravity is not a fundamental force.

Jacqueline Lichtenberg @jlichtenberg.bsky.social · Apr 25

#scifichat but this was before computers, so I have to retype it, or fiddle with scan and ocr. either way is a few hours and I don't see a market for it. I think it would sell as a film script. Maybe I can do that. but I have so many other projects, I need another 50 years of work!

#scifichat while packing up old manuscripts, I found a printout of a short story that was half finished done on request for an anthology that never sold. I read it and it was terrific so I suddenly knew the ending. Hope I can find time to finish it.

#scifichat this week I also began setting up a new HP laptop with Windows which I hate. But I got it working. the HP has a touch screen which is nice, but not as clear as my iPad.

#scifichat My Scifi week was spent packing old paper backups of novel drafts and bundles of foul matter to go to the university that is collecting my "papers"

I still have 4 huge plastic tubs to open and sort.
