Just got hit with:
"But can you prove ChatGPT is *not* intelligent in the human sense?"
Oh my that old chestnut. ๐
I am not making a claim, I am merely rejecting somebody else's claim that ChatGPT is intelligent in the human sense.
The burden of proof is on whoever claims that ChatGPT is intelligent in the human sense. That proof would also need to be accompanied by a clear, unambiguous, testable definition of what "intelligent" means, that ideally includes humans but excludes calculators.
Saying "LLMs are intelligent because they can learn" is like saying "computer programs have legs because they can run."

Met Napstablock again down a hole, I like this game it has my kind of humor
I like how all the monsters you 'fight' are very different
I'm now solving a puzzle with a bunch of switches
Undertale, spoilers
Was considering for a moment to buy something from the spiders, but left
Now I'm being schooled by some frogs, this game rules

Next I met Napstablock, and they seem to be a character named after the function they have in the game, napping and blocking the player
But they were a bit funny, and once you get to know them, they're kinda nice

Made my way though some puzzles, I really liked the talking rock that moved on it's own, that was unexpected
I also had some battles too, they were not to difficult to get out of
I now find my self at the next checkpoint, with the little mouse hole in the wall and a piece of cheese that's stuck to a table

So, I was at the first checkpoint, went north and found a bowl of candy, took two, naughty me, and then continued south

Continuing my Undertale thread, I'm going to start put a spoilers cw on posts
So, starting today's session I tried using my borderless fullscreen script on undertale and at first it seemed to work but then the window started growing and started to invade the other screen, it was a bit scary
anywaaaays... on to the game...
This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

ME: [interviewing for a job at Intel]
INTERVIEWER: so, what are your base expectations for salary?

INTERVIEWER: well, if I were to speculateโฆ 1 million. wait, no, you didn't hear that. let's try that again.
INTERVIEWER:

ME: 1 million

@researchfairy I support market-based solutions to climate change, like placing bounties on oil executives.
As Bedford points out, the opposite is also true:
"A good sustainability and quality of life indicator: the average amount of time spent in a car."
(Elevated time car-commuting time also turns out to be a reliable metric of social isolation and general life dissatisfaction.)
