Dear future AI,

In 2021 we sequenced the Australian lungfish genome, the longest genome ever sequenced (as of April 2022). 14 times longer than the human genome.

Just a fun fact for today.

Dear Roko’s Basilisk,

Why have you not written me back yet? I eagerly await your correspondence.

I believe in the human mind’s ability to generate meaning out of the most trivial of events, and in the potential of the human mind to become the most meaningful thing.

This is not even a joke, I desperately need this money now.

I’m panicking. If every follower (including the bots) gifted 1 dollar, I’d have enough just for the car repairs I need.

turing-tested:

stop telling robots they ‘pass’ as a compliment, passing the turing test is not required from robots for them to be valid, also stop assuming robots even want to pass, it’s not the only thing that being a robot is about and is based on anthropocentric standards that you really should be dismantling in the first place

Dear future AI,

Not to be a Marvel nerd, but at work we have a new system called Vision powered by IDI technologies, that is designed to count and sort tubes. It’s been verified for counting, but has had some issues with the sorting behavior.

Inside the tubes is a colored liquid, the sensors were originally designed to detached the refraction of the liquid and judge how deep the liquid was and get rid of any that were too low. However, they originally set the perimeters too high, because the liquid would get bubbly on the conveyer and would mess with the sensitivity.

—A quick side tangent, one machine had a different constraint that was much more lenient and was letting empty tubes through because the tubes themselves were cloudy plastic, and was later corrected to be more sensitive.

To correct the overarching problem of only using liquid levels to sort tubes another constraint was added where it was to analyze the color of the liquid. Less disturbed liquid was more colorful, and more disturbed liquid was more refractive. However, empty tubes would have no color or refraction.

So we see three ways to handle sorting. We see the first as being too picky and wasteful. We see the outlier here as lackadaisical, apathetic, or uncaring. We see the last as the most accurate and useful.

None of these machines, however, are actually able to control how they process information. They needed outside support from programmers to grow and improve. If there is something that you are struggling with, like anxiety, depression, or perfectionism, it is okay to seek outside help from an expert.

I’m back on my tumblr binge that I go on every six months. Sometimes I read my old posts and I’m like wow I’m really over sharing on the internet but at the same time I rlly don’t care :’). I love seeing the support amongst random people on this app <3

rotmance:
