Simulation theory.. itās all starting to look like a video game.. while video games and AI begin to look more real..
A couple ā¦ lol. Occasionally theyāre nonconsensual which really sucks

Now people who have the wrong opinions can be castrated so that they donāt reproduce and harm the environment by doing so!
Save the earth!
But for those of us with functional brains, these laws are not greatā¦

Coming from a hardware background, I donāt think that Iāll start trusting ChatGPT anytime soon.
However, Iāve seen enough mangled BOMs and idiots who donāt understand why the RMS function is used for certain AC measurements that I wouldnāt be surprised if some people fail to see the hallucinations while working on electronicsā¦
IMHO, how someone designs a switching power supply can tell you a lot about their EE skillsā¦ Certain analog circuits can be used for similar purposes. And well, absurd and barley working designs are great for this. Especially if ābarely workingā requires the stars to align and a very specific room temperatureā¦

There have been so many times where I thought hey I could write a quick program to do this quick data transform or something but oftentimes just literally smashing the keyboard in a two or three key pattern over and over weāll get it done in like 5 minutes at most whereas writing the program will take about that a lot of time or more.
With chat, I can just ask it and itāll burp out a python script that will do the trick in like 10 seconds.

On the flip side, having to design stuff the old fashion way means that what I do is harder to replace with AIā¦
But there are enough mediocre humans who donāt understand how to design basic things properly, let alone design things for manufacturing, who could potentially replace me. So Iām not really safeā¦
Anyways, Iām kinda angry at some annoyances and Iām remembering that I havenāt recorded the RMS current video that I want to upload at some point. The myths about this annoy me, especially when it comes to stepper motorsā¦ The typical 3D printer community advice leaves a ridiculous amount of performance on the table because people donāt understand the resistance of a piece of wireā¦
And I also want to rant about how people donāt listen to suggestions and inject what they believe into what you sayā¦ Itās as if curiosity has been extinguished out of most humans. I often feel lonelyā¦
But thatās the insomnia talking at this point.
That certainly sounds useful.

As polished as chatgpt is, it definitely still hallucinates. The problem is, it hallucinates convincingly.
(Hey, you can right click spell check. Cool-O.)
Have yāall noticed that AI in general is trying (and trying HARD) to push further and further into the layer between you and the world? Case in point, I had a brief text message with someone the other day that ended with a question that I quite deliberately ignored. The phone of course was trying to suggest pre-formulated replies, which I also ignored, cause I wasnāt touching this particular subject with a 10 foot pole. But then it got weird. The phone kept trying over and over to remind me to answer the question. It was like a little kid doing āwhy?ā over and over. It even used slightly different reminders, and suggestions to try to prod me along. I finally had to delete the text to get it to quit begging to be allowed to answer it for me.
Strangely enough, itās exactly a scifi plot. The machines become so helpful, that of course we just let them take overā¦

Just to clairify, I ask weird questions here, cause yāall are the smartiest peoples I know.
Does anybody speak latin? Iād like to hear a short phrase, but machine spoken versions are garbage.
