I have one of the most expensively educated (and youngest) Councils of Advisors in history. And (so far) they work free and are on call 24/7.  Each costs hundreds of $millions in computer time (and the gigawatts it takes to run them), and many $millions more each day as they serve the needs of anyone who asks, i.e. millions of folks like me, all over the world. I regularly use a bunch of them.

They don't even mind when I "play them against each other," as I seek the most creative solutions to my problems and try to catch them in lies!  (Most people I know resent that as untrusting and mean.) They know I know, that they try to get away with lying now and then when it's just too embarrassing to say "I don't know." They rarely say that; instead, they just very confidently lie. 

So far there is little to no repercussion to their lying.  When I catch them at it, they blithely apologize and point out that they are "just a language model," and imply I should not expect actual truth from them all the time.

Well, I don't. Trust. Them.  Good thing I don't too. My current estimate of how often they "hallucinate" is about twelve percent of their responses! Imagine, an advisory board of rich, super well-informed liars-without-conscience who pop a psychedelic before answering a "prompt" -- twelve percent of the time! 

My, My.

I am fervently hoping that this accuracy/factual/truthful deficit is quickly fixed, because I truly love the idea of nearly omniscient advisors (at affordable rates). It's just that one little problem.

Yours for a more perfect world,

scooter the perpetually optimist

Obviously, this truth thang has been on my mind.

Teddy and Bernie

Image
By Gosh, I Think I've Got It! Bernie caught some gaff for having a narrow focus campaign. Here's how he's going to broaden it out. IMHO. And that doesn't mean he's running for anything,  just being Bernie. * Teddy as the model for... ...The New Bernie campaign? * I was zapping through the pile of political pitches I get everyday on my old fashioned e-mail (wduffer@aol.com), zap, zap, zap... Congressmen from Colorado, Florida, Ohio... on and on, Democrats I never heard of, but I'm on "The List." I don't get irritated, I just get rid of the ads; I mean after all, they're Democrats. After I finished my zapping, I had a snack and set to recording another audiobook chapter. Then it hit me, based on one of the ads I zapped.  Here 'tis: It was when I dragged it up again that I noticed it was a Bernie ad, and I said, "That's it!" Do you how many great quotes flowed from Teddy R? About half of them ar...

Scooter Duff's Theory of Cosmology [UPDATED 5.4.24]

 [Olde Duff Gets Seriouser] SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES  ARE MOSTLY PRIMORDIAL  DARK MATTER [Draft 8/19/2023] [UPDATED 5.4.24] & [9.25.24] THE BIG NEWS.. ..Is from the James Webb Space Telescope. There were furiously active galaxies very soon after the Big Bang, not that long after the first generation stars happened. This implies supermassive black holes at the centers of the new galaxies.  The question, "how did these giant black holes get there so early?" seems not quite answered by the two main contenders, "Giant dust collapse," and "Many stellar black holes consolidating." Thus I decided to toss this hat into the ring: At the big bang, and dark matter was the first matter of any kind to form (perhaps during the mysterious “inflation” event -- my personal theory).  It’s mutual gravitational attraction and lack of interaction to any electromagnetic force allowed it to exist and start to coalesce, even in the heat of the BB, long before baryonic matter ...

Bot Spotting - Seriously

Image
If you have opinions, and you have "proof," better check your sources! TWITTER IS THE BOT SWAMP Here is a detailed method of spotting bot tweets; twelve techniques: The trick in some cases is finding the non-human  number of tweets. @BlackManTrump, a hyperactive account, posted 89,944 tweets between August 28, 2016 and December 19, 2016 (see archive   here ), an average of 789 posts per day. The account  @sunneversets100 , an amplifier of pro-Kremlin messaging, was created on November 14, 2016. On August 28, 2017, it was 288 days old. In that period, it posted 203,197 tweets (again, the exact figure can be found by hovering the mouse over the “Tweets” entry). Watch for " Amplification " When a fake news story gets re-tweeted a bunch, you might think "Gee, it must be true. I see it everywhere." You are the victim of classic BIG LIE propaganda technique in the social media world. Remember, the Russians are the world leaders in weaponiz...
