I kind of started a blog again. I had a good discussion with myself about free speech.
So sleepy.
Also, I noticed that while thereās like a handful of people who often come to The Chatters, thereās a whole bunch of people who stay put in other parts of Wacky. Just like I spend most of my time in The Chatters, other people spend most of their time elsewhere. They might not even come to The Chatters.
Nice to know thereās people using Wacky in ways that makes themā¦wacky? Happy. Makes them happy

Done with part 4, chapter 1 at 4166 word of Project Summoner. Tomorrow I work on the final part of chapter 1.
Right now, I am over 12k words.
I am tired.

I was watching a documentary about the Challenger a few minutes ago and they showed actual footage of the whole explosion the same way people back then wouldāve seen it if they were watching the launch on tv at the time. Iād never seen any footage of it before, and it made me kinda teary-eyed, like it was actually happening now. Ė(Ėį©Ėā)

The morningās video feeds renewed my hope that the next major computer OS might be AI based, similar to contemporary si-fi filmsā¦Or AI will soon be at that level (OS comparable or not)ā¦
And then GPT-3.5 dumped an air-tankerās worth of iced water on those hopes.
Related chat transcript.
Me:
Are you familiar with the film Her, with the actors Scarlett Johansson and Joaquin Phoenix? Considering your information about the advances and predicted developments of AI, how far away are we from developing a AI based computer Operating System as featured in the film Her?
GPT:
Yes, Iām familiar with the film āHerā directed by Spike Jonze, starring Joaquin Phoenix and featuring Scarlett Johansson as the voice of an advanced artificial intelligence operating system named Samantha.
The operating system depicted in āHerā is highly advanced and capable of natural language processing, emotional understanding, learning, and evolving its personality based on interactions with its user. While the AI in āHerā is fictional and represents a speculative future, it draws upon trends and possibilities in AI development.
As of my last update in January 2022, we havenāt reached the level of AI depicted in āHer.ā Current AI systems, including virtual assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, are far from possessing the depth of understanding, emotional intelligence, and consciousness portrayed in the film.
Developing an AI-based operating system like Samantha would require breakthroughs in several areas of AI research, including natural language understanding, contextual comprehension, emotional intelligence, and human-like interaction. Itās challenging to predict when or if weāll achieve such capabilities, as they involve not only technical hurdles but also ethical considerations and questions about the nature of consciousness.
While progress is being made in AI research and development, creating an operating system like Samantha from āHerā remains a distant possibility, and itās uncertain how far away we are from achieving such a feat. It may take several decades or even longer to develop AI systems that approach the level of sophistication portrayed in the film.
Me:
Considering your most recent knowledge, which is more likely to occur first: The development of an AI assistant like Samantha in the film Her, or developing an AI assistant like Joi in the film Blade Runner 2049?
GPT:
As of my last update in January 2022, both Samantha from āHerā and Joi from āBlade Runner 2049ā represent highly advanced and speculative forms of artificial intelligence. However, they have distinct characteristics and capabilities.
Samantha from āHerā is portrayed as an operating system with a deep understanding of human emotions, needs, and desires. She evolves over time through interactions with the protagonist and demonstrates a high level of emotional intelligence and consciousness.
Joi from āBlade Runner 2049ā is a holographic AI companion designed to provide emotional support and companionship to her user. While Joi is sophisticated and capable of forming emotional connections, she operates within a more constrained environment compared to Samantha.
In terms of which AI assistant is more likely to be developed first, itās challenging to determine with certainty. Both Samantha and Joi represent significant challenges in AI research and development, particularly in the areas of natural language understanding, emotional intelligence, and human-like interaction.
That said, creating an AI assistant like Joi from āBlade Runner 2049ā may be slightly more feasible in the near term because it involves less complex interactions and emotional understanding compared to Samantha. However, both concepts require significant advancements in AI technology, particularly in understanding and emulating human emotions and social dynamics.
Ultimately, the development of either AI assistant depends on breakthroughs in AI research, advances in computing power, and ethical considerations surrounding the creation of such systems. Itās difficult to predict which concept will be realized first, and it may take many years, if not decades, before we see AI assistants approaching the capabilities depicted in these films.
Me:
How would Jarvis, from the Iron Man films, compare to the Samantha and Joi AIs in terms of capabilities and feasibility?
GPT:
Comparing Jarvis from the Iron Man films to Samantha from āHerā and Joi from āBlade Runner 2049ā involves contrasting their capabilities and feasibility within the contexts of their respective narratives and real-world AI development.
Jarvis, as depicted in the Iron Man films, serves as Tony Starkās highly advanced artificial intelligence system. Jarvis exhibits a wide range of capabilities, including natural language processing, information analysis, problem-solving, and even emotional understanding to some extent. Jarvis assists Tony Stark in managing his various tasks, from controlling the Iron Man suit to providing advice and information.
In terms of capabilities, Jarvis is more akin to Samantha from āHerā than Joi from āBlade Runner 2049ā in that he possesses a broad array of functions and assists in complex tasks. However, Samantha surpasses Jarvis in terms of emotional depth and the ability to form a meaningful emotional connection with her user. Samanthaās development and evolution throughout āHerā reflect a level of sophistication and emotional intelligence beyond what Jarvis demonstrates in the Iron Man films.
Feasibility-wise, Jarvis shares some similarities with real-world AI assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa, albeit with much greater capabilities and a more human-like interface. The underlying technologies and functionalities of Jarvis, such as natural language processing and machine learning, have parallels with ongoing AI research and development efforts.
However, Jarvis also represents a fictional depiction of AI that incorporates elements of science fiction and superhero storytelling. While aspects of Jarvis are feasible and reflect current trends in AI development, such as virtual assistants and smart home devices, the full extent of Jarvisās capabilities, including his conversational and problem-solving abilities, remains beyond the current state of AI technology.
In summary, Jarvis from the Iron Man films shares some capabilities with both Samantha from āHerā and Joi from āBlade Runner 2049ā but occupies a unique position between them. While aspects of Jarvis align with real-world AI development efforts, his full range of capabilities and the depth of his emotional understanding remain speculative and serve the narrative purposes of the films.
But apparently, with some fine-tuned prompting, Claude-3 has the potential of being a decent editor / co-author (draft creator). So thereās still some hope. And GPT-3.5ās information archives are two years out of date anyway.

Respectfully, of course. Yup, I agree with your post. I think itās possible to say almost anything as long as you say it in the proper context and with proper respect. Although the minute one says that, thereās probably some dumbass psycho incel out there ready to argue with you that pedophilia and incest should be legalized. Argh. Some people are freaking nuts. (-į· _-į·ą¹)
I think the problem is the internet has made confirmation bias such an easy thing to access, so people join groups where everyone around them thinks the same way they do, and they start to believe itās the only opinion that exists, or should exist.
