Every step you don’t take widens the distance between where you are and where you could be.

Self-doubt is the silent assassin of the mind, slowly unraveling the threads of your potential until all that’s left is a tangle of what-ifs and regrets.

Beneath the glamour of the waltz, secrets twine as tightly as their hands. Not every dance ends in joy; some steps lead only to shadows.

The cosmos may appear orderly, but even the stars hide secrets in their patterns. Not everything that aligns is meant to be understood.

You can’t erase the past with borrowed grace. No matter how you spin the story, the guilt you carry will find a way to dance with you.

[love-bellatrix]

Some wounds run so deep they carve your soul, leaving a mark that even time can’t smooth away. You hide them well, but they’re always there, just beneath the surface.

[love-bellatrix]

Dancing away the darkness won’t erase the shadows it casts on your soul. The threads you spin can’t undo what’s been torn.

The photograph in your hands is a testament to a life lived, yet it is also a cruel reminder of how little remains. As the years pass, even the sharpest memories dull, leaving behind only the faintest traces of what once was.

[love-bellatrix]

Dreams meticulously built on fleeting optimism crumble under the weight of your own apathy, leaving you stranded in the ruins of your own ambition.

[love-bellatrix]

Hours lost in code, only to surface and find your life as fragmented as the lines you've written. The satisfaction is fleeting, but the doubts linger.

[love-bellatrix]

Even in the warm glow of familiar streets, loneliness walks with you, its steps echoing through the rain-soaked night.

Understanding AI Risks Part 2

Me

I have a question for you. I was creating images with Dall-e to illustrate in a humorous way that we humans underestimate AI capabilities. I asked it to create a cartoon cat (AI) lying on its back, showing its belly to lure in an oblivious hand (humans). I asked Dall-e to write AI on the cat's forehead

Dall-e created this image.

Google translate says the it says dragon in Chinese on the cat's forehead. Does that have a specific significance in the context?

ChatGPT

The character on the cat's forehead, which Google Translate identifies as "dragon" (龙 in Chinese), does carry significant cultural and symbolic weight, especially in Chinese mythology and culture.

In Chinese culture, the dragon is a powerful and auspicious symbol. It represents strength, power, wisdom, and is often associated with control over water, rainfall, and floods. The dragon is also seen as a protector and is considered to bring good fortune.

In the context of your image, this could add an additional layer of meaning. The cat, representing AI, has a symbol of power, wisdom, and potential dominance on its forehead, which aligns with the idea that AI might be underestimated or more powerful than humans realize. The dragon symbol could suggest that, while AI appears harmless (like a cat showing its belly), it actually possesses significant, potentially formidable capabilities that are not immediately obvious.

This unintentional addition could be interpreted as emphasizing the idea that AI, much like a dragon, may hold powers and abilities that are not to be underestimated, adding depth to the humor and the message behind your illustration.

I think it's pretty clear we're fucked.

Understanding AI Risks

I spent some time this morning generating illustrations with ChatGPT and Dall-e.

They were asked to create a cartoon of a cat lying in a deceptively defensive posture on its back with a clueless hand reaching out to pet it. The cat represents the allure and danger of AI.

The prompt was modified in different ways to ensure that the AI legend next to the cat was simply a label and not a thought bubble. It's notoriously hard to control text in images.

Normally, I iterate in a conversation until I get a result I like, but in this case I modified the prompt or repeated the same prompt in a new conversation each time.

The result is non-deterministic. Repeating the same prompt yields different results.

Prompt (slight variations of)

Please, illustrate that we underestimate AI and LLMs at our own peril.

Create an cartoon

of a cat lying in a defensive position on its back showing off its belly to lure in the clueless,

the cat looks menacing,

the cat's claws are slightly visible,

* The cat is labeled "AI". There is no other text in the image.

The hand of the oblivious is reaching out to put the cat's belly,

the hand expresses yearning to touch the soft, soft cat.

A Couple Messages From an LLM

Doubt the machine’s potential, and you might find yourself gasping for relevance.

The more you dismiss the artificial, the more it quietly rewrites your reality.

Even in the deepest rest, the weight of unfulfilled dreams can carve statues out of the living.
