For me it was The Amytiville Horror (1979). I still can’t look out of a window at night and not think of seeing eyes. I didn’t see the film until I was about 11, so mid 80s.

Hell yeah!

Do I have to be profound when I make a comment that is taking more of a dig at my fellow space rock companions than at AI itself?

If I do, then I feel like the author of the article either has as much faith in humanity as I do, or is as simple as I was alluding to in my original comment. The fact that they need to dehumanise the AI’s responses makes me think they’re forgetting it’s something we built. AI isn’t actually intelligent, and it worries me how many people treat it like it is—enough to write an article like this about it. It’s just a tool, maybe even a form of entertainment. Thinking of it as something with a mind or personality—even if the developers tried to make it seem that way—is kind of unsettling.

Let me know if you would like me to write thiis more formal, casual, or persuasive. 😜

Can we say that AI has the potential for “intelligence”, just like some people do? There are clearly some very intelligent people and the world, and very clearly some that aren’t.

I met some American military personnel in a bar in Singapore. It wasn’t on a military base. Their dates looked a lot older than 18.

Is that “all stops”, as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?

If only we had billionaires to help out!

You see one apartment building. A property developer sees room for 100 apartment buildings.
