#artificial pattern

[tepperz]

It shouldn’t be called artificial intelligence – AI. It should be called artificial patterning – AP. There is nothing intelligent about it. It’s only pattern recognition, and basic, flawed recognition at that. It’s not Intelligent art, it’s Patterned Art. It’s not Intelligent writing, it’s Patterned writing. I think a lot of the optics around the “AI” craze can start to be broken down with a transition to calling it “AP”.

Consider:

Leo Valdez was not born. Instead, two pairs of hands form him from bronze and steel and gold. His hair is copper wires so thin they bounce like natural curls, and his eyes glimmer with silver flakes. The joints of his body are plated so delicately, so perfectly, the segments are near indiscernible, smoothly gliding over each other. Faint traces of fingerprints and flecks of impurity are deliberately left behind for their uniqueness, a form of impossible signature of his creators.

Most importantly, gilded bars curl around each other in his chest, protecting the red-red-red flame that pushes his eyes open everyday, that beats in tune with his thoughts, that heats his body to expand and grow.

A metal child is not so different from a human one, and yet is so far from it at the same time. He is curious, about the world, about himself, and he picks apart toys and TV remotes and his arms, spilling their secrets before his constantly shifting eyes. He does not cry from fatigue or thirst or hunger, but a bump, a dent, a scratch never fail to draw tears. He splashes in the rain and snow, carefully bundled in waterproof coats and jackets, and runs from baths like he's possessed, fire flickering in fear.

The first time he meets someone like him, an endeavour he had long thought hopeless, it is a malfunctioning dragon others call for the death of; he is too unpredictable, too dangerous, too broken. Leo looks him in ever-shifting eyes glimmering with silver and sees himself if the cage in his chest ever bends, cracks, shatters, if the gears beneath his skin ever jam and stick and wear down irreversibly.

It is not golden flowers and godly aid that preserve him; just as he'd done for his twin-in-all-but-appearance, he creates a new body, with new fingerprints and impurities mapping his design. His hair is more bronze than copper, now, and his eyes more gold than brass. The plates of his joints scrape against each other faintly, and the gears of his bones grind together uncomfortably — he only had so much time, so much material to use, he could not polish every element of himself in the way he wished, but it holds together.

Most importantly, he reinforces the cage in his chest, coats it in layers upon layers of metal, to ensure his flame will not go out in the explosion, that Festus will be able to salvage it and lay it gently in the chest cavity carefully carved in his new body, bringing it to life.

He returns to Camp, movements more clunky and mechanical than should be, and his siblings finally pin down his segmented limbs, his shifting eyes, his clicking fidgeting. They are ecstatic, just as fascinated with him as they had been with Festus, and he lets them. He lets them take him apart, piece by piece, clean out the sand of Ogygia from his organs, polish and oil his gears until they glide against each other, press new fingerprints, new signatures of belonging, against his skin.

Most importantly, they craft him a secure, intricate cage, with golden flames licking up the bars, with delicate chains shielding it from the elements, and his flame settles inside it, flickering happily, finally truly, truly comfortable in the cage of his body.

Leo Valdez may not have been born, but he was crafted with the most loving hands imaginable, and is that not so much better, for a son of the Craftsman?

The Abstraction Gap: Understanding the Relationship Between Biological and Artificial Neural Networks

The human brain is a complex and intricate organ capable of producing a wide range of behaviors essential to our daily lives. From the simplest reflexes to the most complex cognitive functions, brain activity is a dynamic and ever-changing process that is still not fully understood. Advances in neuroscience and artificial intelligence have led to a new perspective on brain function that emphasizes the importance of emergent dynamics in the generation of complex behaviors.

Emergent dynamics refers to the collective behavior that arises from the interactions of individual components in a complex system. In the context of the brain, emergent dynamics refers to the complex patterns of activity that arise from the interactions of billions of neurons. These patterns of activity lead to a wide range of behaviors, from the movement of our limbs to the perception of the world around us.

One of the most important challenges in understanding brain function is the time warp problem. This problem occurs when the cadence of a stimulus pattern varies significantly, making it difficult for artificial intelligence systems to recognize patterns. Neuroscientific evidence has shown that the brain can easily solve the time warp problem. This is due to the brain's emergent dynamics, which allows it to recognize patterns that are not fixed in time but dynamic and can change in tempo.

In the context of artificial neural networks, the concept of emergent dynamics can be applied to develop more sophisticated artificial intelligence systems that can learn and adapt in complex environments. By understanding the collective dynamics of neurons in the brain, researchers may be able to develop artificial neural networks that can detect and respond to time-varying stimulus patterns, develop goal-directed motor behavior, and even perform simple reasoning and problem-solving tasks.

The relationship between abstraction and scalability in neural networks is complex. While artificial neural networks can be scaled to handle large amounts of data, they lack the ability to abstract from the details of the input data, which is a key feature of biological neural networks. To bridge this gap, researchers must prioritize developing artificial neural networks that operate at higher levels of abstraction, allowing them to efficiently process and represent complex information.

The emergence of complex behaviors in the brain is a fundamental aspect of its function. By understanding the collective dynamics of neurons in the brain, researchers may be able to develop more sophisticated artificial intelligence systems that can learn and adapt in complex environments.

The implications of emergent dynamics for brain function and artificial intelligence are significant. By applying the concept of emergent dynamics to artificial neural networks, researchers may be able to develop more sophisticated artificial intelligence systems that can detect and respond to time-varying stimulus patterns, develop goal-directed motor behavior, and perform simple reasoning and problem-solving tasks.

Key Differences Between AI and Human Communication: Mechanisms, Intent, and Understanding

The differences between the way an AI communicates and the way a human does are significant, encompassing various aspects such as the underlying mechanisms, intent, adaptability, and the nature of understanding. Here’s a breakdown of key differences:

1. Mechanism of Communication:

AI: AI communication is based on algorithms, data processing, and pattern recognition. AI generates responses by analyzing input data, applying pre-programmed rules, and utilizing machine learning models that have been trained on large datasets. The AI does not understand language in a human sense; instead, it predicts likely responses based on patterns in the data.

Humans: Human communication is deeply rooted in biological, cognitive, and social processes. Humans use language as a tool for expressing thoughts, emotions, intentions, and experiences. Human communication is inherently tied to understanding and meaning-making, involving both conscious and unconscious processes.

2. Intent and Purpose:

AI: AI lacks true intent or purpose. It responds to input based on programming and training data, without any underlying motivation or goal beyond fulfilling the tasks it has been designed for. AI does not have desires, beliefs, or personal experiences that inform its communication.

Humans: Human communication is driven by intent and purpose. People communicate to share ideas, express emotions, seek information, build relationships, and achieve specific goals. Human communication is often nuanced, influenced by context, and shaped by personal experiences and social dynamics.

3. Understanding and Meaning:

AI: AI processes language at a syntactic and statistical level. It can identify patterns, generate coherent responses, and even mimic certain aspects of human communication, but it does not truly understand the meaning of the words it uses. AI lacks consciousness, self-awareness, and the ability to grasp abstract concepts in the way humans do.

Humans: Humans understand language semantically and contextually. They interpret meaning based on personal experience, cultural background, emotional state, and the context of the conversation. Human communication involves deep understanding, empathy, and the ability to infer meaning beyond the literal words spoken.

4. Adaptability and Learning:

AI: AI can adapt its communication style based on data and feedback, but this adaptability is limited to the parameters set by its algorithms and the data it has been trained on. AI can learn from new data, but it does so without understanding the implications of that data in a broader context.

Humans: Humans are highly adaptable communicators. They can adjust their language, tone, and approach based on the situation, the audience, and the emotional dynamics of the interaction. Humans learn not just from direct feedback but also from social and cultural experiences, emotional cues, and abstract reasoning.

5. Creativity and Innovation:

AI: AI can generate creative outputs, such as writing poems or composing music, by recombining existing patterns in novel ways. However, this creativity is constrained by the data it has been trained on and lacks the originality that comes from human creativity, which is often driven by personal experience, intuition, and a desire for expression.

Humans: Human creativity in communication is driven by a complex interplay of emotions, experiences, imagination, and intent. Humans can innovate in language, create new metaphors, and use language to express unique personal and cultural identities. Human creativity is often spontaneous and deeply tied to individual and collective experiences.

6. Emotional Engagement:

AI: AI can simulate emotional engagement by recognizing and responding to emotional cues in language, but it does not experience emotions. Its responses are based on patterns learned from data, without any true emotional understanding or empathy.

Humans: Human communication is inherently emotional. People express and respond to emotions in nuanced ways, using tone, body language, and context to convey feelings. Empathy, sympathy, and emotional intelligence play a crucial role in human communication, allowing for deep connections and understanding between individuals.

7. Contextual Sensitivity:

AI: AI's sensitivity to context is limited by its training data and algorithms. While it can take some context into account (like the previous messages in a conversation), it may struggle with complex or ambiguous situations, especially if they require a deep understanding of cultural, social, or personal nuances.

Humans: Humans are highly sensitive to context, using it to interpret meaning and guide their communication. They can understand subtext, read between the lines, and adjust their communication based on subtle cues like tone, body language, and shared history with the other person.

8. Ethical and Moral Considerations:

AI: AI lacks an inherent sense of ethics or morality. Its communication is governed by the data it has been trained on and the parameters set by its developers. Any ethical considerations in AI communication come from human-designed rules or guidelines, not from an intrinsic understanding of right or wrong.

Humans: Human communication is deeply influenced by ethical and moral considerations. People often weigh the potential impact of their words on others, considering issues like honesty, fairness, and respect. These considerations are shaped by individual values, cultural norms, and societal expectations.

The key differences between AI and human communication lie in the underlying mechanisms, the presence or absence of intent and understanding, and the role of emotions, creativity, and ethics. While AI can simulate certain aspects of human communication, it fundamentally operates in a different way, lacking the consciousness, experience, and meaning-making processes that characterize human interaction.

@herok1ng sent: ❝ I am weak. I am fragile. I am mortal. ❞

weak was not a word she would associate with marth, a surprising notion coming from a witch who has such a fixation with power. the value of a life was often measured by strength, and perhaps in that likeness did she understand what the fell dragon often said, archived somewhere in the depths of her memories : a death was not written if it is not grima's will, a life would not be lost if he still had a use for it. it was a calculating, cold way to refer to a living being, but it was the way her own worth was measured as the spare vessel. violet hues continue to stare at the prince, as though she was wondering how to pick him apart to see the true machinations of his mind ... but the moment she catches such thoughts wandering in her thoughts, kira's gaze softens. in truth, marth was a friend, as she has come to realize. she did not journey with him out of her own self - serving ambition in the first place.

in truth, she does not know why she had aided him in that clearing, before she even knew who he was. before she even knew who she herself was as well. it took silencing the fell dragon's voice to allow such kindness.

❛     if mortality is the measure of strength, then we would have all be doomed long ago.    ❜  kira tells him, a small smile 'pon her lips as she looked at him. ❛     even the gods can learn to fear mortals. and you, my dear marth, are not weak. i've seen you in battle, and apart from it. you would not be standing here if you were not strong. you have enough courage to have most knights envy you for, and just enough foolishness to actually act upon it.    ❜

I feel like SkyKnit needs to be taught as an example of why “AI” isn’t real ‘intelligence’ and why it can’t replace humans. Like people try to explain it in all sorts of ways but you could just explain SkyKnit instead. plus there’s cool knitted items to show as you explain

[jbfly46]

You can compute someone’s neural pathways using their patterns of speech. If a computer running AI software can be programmed to do this then who can be trusted with this technology? It can also be expanded beyond speech and used to compute what someone most commonly thinks about.

[terriblebicho]

My mom showed me sth one of her friends had shared on Facebook and it was a "recently discovered canadian marble fox species which is the cutest fox in the world" and when you zoom in the horribly compressed image you can immediately tell it's a fucking plushie THERE IS A HUGE FUCKING WATERMARK IN THE PHOTO AND IT SAYS Malina Toys, and all the comments are ppl going "omg such nice beautyfull animal Earth is awesome :)" and I could feel 15 years of my life expectancy being instantly removed from my body.

[economicsresearch]

page 562 - Should I be concerned that an advanced AI might take my job? Is that a bigger concern than my ongoing isolation (guy across the remove reprieve not happening if guy across the room refuses to wake up, GUY!) or this rash?

Sorry to go on about the rash, but damn this bad boy is on fire.

To answer the question that preceded rash talk, no.

Also, guy is stirring. Finally!

[doomdoomofdoom]

It makes me so sad. In another world, this technology could've been beautiful. If we had built it on data given with consent, if we built it with a reason other than rapid expansion and profits, if we applied it where it could actually help, rather than everywhere because the buzzword drives investments.

I watch a streamer who works a lot with AI as a form of entertainment. They're some of the funniest streams I have ever seen, but the comedy always comes from the interaction between human and AI. He knows that, and he works with that.

I just wish more people would realize that AI is being pushed into everything because it makes the line go up. No one actually cares if it's doing any good, as long as it's doing.

I don't want to ask AI a question. I don't want AI to write my sentences for me, at all ever. I don't want AI search bars to be the default and I don't want them to be in such a way that I can't opt out. I don't want this kind of AI in my life and there is no such thing as AI art, there is only theft of art from human artists by AI scrappers. I don't want any of this, I hate it. Maybe in a world that isn't driven by tech bro capitalism we can see machines doing all the dangerous inane things so humans can be free to pursue life and creativity. But that's not what's happening right now and I hate it.
