Some of this feels adjacent to one of the pieces of the Kantor model that I haven’t made too much noise about. As well as the meaning / affect / power "domains", there are different "action stances" - moving, following, opposing and bystanding (going meta / naming the context).... Totally right, seems like we agree. Also it seems likely this issue is going to get more pervasive across computer work very soon, with more AI slop resulting everywhere, except for where someone or something is successfully maintaining coherence.... Why doesn't anyone trust the news anymore?: Platform designers
The encyclopedia that wasn’t supposed to work January 15, 2001. Wikipedia launched with a premise every information professional considered absurd: an encyclopedia anyone could edit. Twenty-five years later, 60 million articles in 300 languages.... - annabeth...

My name is Robert. I'm on the faculty at San Jose State University, where I teach classes in computer science, computer engineering, and data science.... What does everyone get wrong about entropy, and why does it matter?: Information theorists
Shannon’s entropy — H = -sum of p log p — measures the average uncertainty in a message source. The less predictable a source, the higher its entropy. This is not a metaphor borrowed from physics. It is the same mathematics, applied to signals instead of heat.... - JulieI...
Timers would be one obvious way. Construction of simple timelines/maps that would show how far, how long, and where you have traveled? That would be especially if you could flag the logic gates that opened or closed. And, can an AI assess the validity or quality of a branch?... - sass...
This might be a whack Q but Imma ask it anyhow: Have any AIs been found working on their 'own' problems/projects/tasks that are arguably not meaningfully contributing to formulating their response to whatever they've been instructed to direct energy into?... - onMy computer (HP Elite Dragonfly G2) is having a tough time- often using 60-90%+ of memory capacity. it has 16GB, and I've had it for a little over 3 years. by
"This is a recent thing" has my attention. What has changed recently? If you've got twice as many tabs open as you did when performance was fine, you might just need more RAM.... - marcello...
