@alci I'd be fine if the US moved to the metric system, but I would miss the intuition of Fahrenheit's degrees. 0 COLD. 100 HOT. I would not miss misspelling Fahrenheit every goddamn time.

@aral Thank you for today's demo! I am laid up with Covid. Your demo was a pleasant distraction.

I finally solved my docker issues. BUT I got the error that plagued you earlier.

xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory

I will try again later.

Take care!

I don't have any deep insight into ChatGPT. I used to work at an AI (i.e Machine Learning) company, but not on the math side.

What I learned is that all ML is derivative. It only knows what you teach it, and nothing else. So the ChatGPT and Midjourney products aren't that interesting to me. They are obvious simulacra.

I know the tech is garbage since my gauge, a former co-worker, is gushing about ChatGPT on LI. He is wrong about everything, with the prognostication powers of a dead fish.

And ChatGPT is probably violating intellectual property rights since it was trained on copyrighted material. I can't wait for every publishing house to start ordering the removal of their material from ChatGPT.

Folks, ChatGPT, already a shiny thing with no value, is about to get dumber.
