I downloaded Produkey, unpacked it, and Windows Defender popped up at least half a dozen dialog boxes and deleted it.

Oh yes, they are impractical as hell, but the point is if they are functional then the difference between oxygen-free gold-plated copper, cheap copper, aluminum, and steel is not going to be detectable.

Some guy actually went to the effort to do a double-blind test between audiophile speaker cables and twisted coat hangers, with the predictable result that golden ear subjects couldn't tell the difference.

Oh, yeh, OpenAI the company? Yes, they are lying and know they are lying and don't care.

I don't think OpenAI has enough agency to lie. If a human or anything else that was actually a reasoning system were to emit these strings of symbols, perhaps they would be lies, but really you anthropomorphize it too much when you suggest it even aspires to lying,

Saw someone say “it’s better to live to fight another day” about the latest organizations caving, and not noticing the important part about that is that THEY HAVE TO ACTUALLY FIGHT AT SOME POINT, otherwise you’re just endlessly ceding ground! They never do that!

Yes that's where the "47 programs connected through sockets" comes in. Perl has the entire Unix suite of application programs jammed together into one executable, glued together with the worst part of all their syntaxes. Without the excuse that they are different programs written at different times.

Because that is the most likely continuation of the prompt. That is always the answer.

Gee I was just thinking that Perl4 was basically everything terrible about Bash built into one executable instead of 47 programs connected through sockets. My introduction to Perl was a program called Majordomo. I really shouldn't be expected to have to explain any further than that.

It really annoys me that the people behind this research have managed to convince the world to refer to it as artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence implies A system that builds models of the world and reasons about them. Not a parody generator.

Too bad it wasn't quite small enough. I used a shell on MS-DOS that actually supported a subset of the Unix experience with some programs even being able to run in pipelines and with redirects, and every single program written in Turbo Pascal bypassed all of that and wrote directly to the hardware.

Well I met my wife on a pirate Apple bulletin board system in like 1983. I think dial-up bulletin board systems count as social media.
