    Brexit, for once some facts.

    About US presidential elections, the system results in anything but democracy. Too easy for billionaires buying both candidates. It becomes the fight of the billionaires instead of policies. Apparently years ago when Obama was running for his first presidency, Obama made a deal with Clinton...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Elections are similar to chess games. The stronger players don't always win. In elections, one candidate will manage to persuade more voters than the other, the manner he/she does that has more to do with psychology of the masses than logical thinking. There are plenty of Trump's supporters...

    I have extended your chatGPT thread. On the horizon, the current limitations are more to do with health protection measures than energy density. ChatGPT estimates that a tsmr would require 100 tonnes of shielding. I think that problem will be solved by the time that TSMRs become a mass product...

    I think that you downplay the long history of the WIV working with the USA. They got funding from the USA for years doing projects that wouldn't be allowed in the USA. Are you saying that the USA did not receive samples of their viruses? If they did, which I think is likely, then who would have...

    I posted a lot in the early days of covid. I read a lot of studies about SARSCOV2 at the time. After reading that the virus was modified to have a binding domain and cleavage site to attach to furin, specific to human lungs, not bats, it was clear to me that whoever modified that virus got the...

    I never said that about Biden. Harris is a better candidate than Trump. That's a fact, as shown on their debate. Harris lost because elections are often not rational.

    History will explain why Trump won and Harris lost. I am a rational optimist!

    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...

    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...

    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...
