    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Farage may get to be the next PM if enough people believe that his plan will work. I don't think it will be the case. People have been misled by brexit, they believed in promises like new trade deals will be the easiest things in the world especially with the USA, and we'll kick all the foreign...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I added a question to your chatGPT link. Which treaties the UK cannot get out. It is even more important to know them than those we can renounce. In principle, the UK can withdraw from almost any treaty, since international law recognises a right of denunciation or withdrawal if the treaty...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You can't stop them unless you stop our lifeboats picking them up for starters. We also owe them due process. You can't just break our laws when it comes to treatment of illegal migrants. Farage's solution is simplistic and can't work. That's why it's dangerous. ChatGPT made the case very...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What about our word is our bond? We entered into treaties with other countries and now we just break them because our new government finds them inconvenient? Are we ready to leave the UN too because those treaties that the UN upholds are not breakable? I tell you what I think of a long term...

    When he talked about the story of the first powered flight, it seems to me that he kept mainly to small inventions. It's difficult to imagine something like the story of the Wright brothers happen again in our time. You can't even invent a new kitchen knife now without a team of people and...

    The new current paradigm is 'memory'. When it's solved, possibly in gpt6, it will play chess well.

    Paradigm is pair of concept and its solution. AI started with 'learn from humans' then 'learn from curated data' then 'learn math', then 'learn physics'. There is a long list of specific skill area that it needs to learn in depth, like music, paintings, architecture etc. However, the situation...

    AI can create a chess game in code for you to play on your PC if you ask it. The results are pretty OK. In that video I linked to, all the AI overthought their moves. They made a silly move throwing the game when they forgot what they planned to move before and are literally a couple of moves...

    Just tell it that you hate tables. If you use the free online accounts, you don't need to repeat this or set it in code. Online AIs will remember all you told them. Much easier but you give a bit of yourself to the machine.

    Good question. Would you like not to heat your house when the average temperature in mid summer is a balmy 8 degree Celsius and in winter is well below zero? Ed zero sounds a pretty cool nickname. We are limited by the energy density of our batteries. That will eventually improve over the next...

    Let's see if Farage becomes PM at the next election, he would deploy his plan for mass deportations. Here is the assessment from ChatGPT on his plan: 1. What the UK could try to do Withdraw from the Refugee Convention → would remove obligation to process asylum claims, but requires 1 year’s...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's a big subject, I needed time to think about it. Reform has started fighting among themselves. Why do you think that is? Egos? Lack of programs and ideas? Cult of one leader? Can't understand how the civil service works when they ask for expense receipts or budget preparations? I...

    It's well within her rights to consider legal action against the police. I however can't see her winning. The court jailed her after she pled guilty. She said in that video that she of course do not wish for these things to happen in real life. That she is not alone to say things that she does...

    Grok, google, openai all spent billions and billions training their models. Now they go head to head on a chess tournament. you don't have to play a lot of chess to have a giggle.

    This could happen here if our next government went for mass deportation. I think illegal border crossings should be punished with heavy fines instead of treatments like this.

    Take the case of the doctors that Jonathan mentioned. They may have studied here or have only worked here. We don't know their history. As far as our NHS recruits from overseas is concerned, I don't see any problem. Countries don't hold their citizens slaves. That doctor that our NHS recruits...

    A few days ago, I watched on TV a lady in her late 50s early 60s being interviewed. She runs an English bar in Benidorm. Her bar was festooned with a few large union jacks on the walls. She was asked: why did you move here? She answered: there are too many immigrants in England.
