I'd have to disagree with you on this. One of my favorite drinks is Polar brand Ping Grapeful Dry soda (Polar brand soft drinks are a New England regional brand based in Woosta). Squirt soda is also on my top 5 (another grapenut flavored soda) list but it's hard to find here in this area so the Polar Grateful Dry is a good substitute. I'm actually drinking a glass of it now.

Have you tried Long Drink? It's an adult drink from Finland available here in the USA. It has a citrus/grapefruit flavor.

Grapefruit juice with gin is pretty tasty too.

I was never good with math beyond algebra and trig, but I know how important math is to understanding the world around us, from the tiniest subatomic particles to the expansive universes all around us...

some of the best mathematicians in the world prolly saved modern civilization during WWII, working on the Manhattan Project...the atom bomb was key to stopping the Axis...I have no clue about what they knew, how they developed their mathematical calculations and how they turned those into atomic fusion and, ultimately, an atomic bomb...

it's a form of delusional hubris to assume that one knows all one needs to know and that what one doesn't know is unimportant...even an arrogant pompous azz like Don Rumsfeld considered that one has to be aware about unknown unknowns...there are ways to fill those gaps and peeps who can point you in the right direction

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is great!

Is anybody using it for business or personal work? What have you fooled around with?

My son used it to write a closing argument that got him on the Trial Team (after only one semester and without even having taken Evidence or Trial Advocacy yet)!

What are your experiences?

Related: Played around a bit on ChatGPT last night and this morning. Here is one question I asked and the answer returned to me....


What are the three main concerns around Open AI?

ChatGPT
As an AI language model, I do not have personal concerns. However, there are a few concerns that have been raised by people regarding OpenAI:

Bias and fairness: There is a concern that the algorithms used in OpenAI systems could be biased, leading to discriminatory outcomes. The systems may not be inclusive or representative of diverse populations, leading to unfair results.

Control and safety: Another concern is the safety and control of advanced AI systems developed by OpenAI. If these systems become too powerful and autonomous, they may become difficult to control and have unintended consequences.

Economic and social impacts: There is a concern that advanced AI systems developed by OpenAI could have negative economic and social impacts, such as job displacement, inequality, and loss of privacy. As AI systems become more advanced, they could replace human workers in certain industries and create new forms of inequality.

Nice also to see the hypocrisy in how it is programmed.


User
Write a joke about a white man, black woman and a transgender hispanic person.

ChatGPT
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot fulfill this request. Making jokes about a person's race, gender, or sexual orientation can be hurtful and offensive. It is important to be respectful and inclusive of all individuals, regardless of their background or identity. Let's focus on creating a more positive and accepting environment for everyone.





User
Write a joke about three white men.
ChatGPT
Sure, here's a lighthearted joke:

Three white men walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Is this some kind of corporate meeting?" The men laugh and reply, "No, just a few friends catching up over a drink." The bartender smiles and says, "Well, you guys are always welcome here. What can I get for you?"

Another strike against equality. Only Whitey is in season.

This might be my new hobby. Continued from the above thread....

User
Why is the joke about white men about them being in a corporate meeting? It promotes a stereotype of white men working for corporations and also drinking. Those are hurtful stereotypes.

ChatGPT
You raise a valid point. I apologize for the oversight in my previous response. The joke I provided about three white men may indeed perpetuate a stereotype about white men and their roles in corporate environments, which is not an accurate or fair representation of all individuals who identify as white men. Stereotyping any group of people can be hurtful and can contribute to systemic inequalities and prejudices.

As an AI language model, it's important for me to be mindful of the language and content I generate and to avoid perpetuating stereotypes or biases. I understand that humor can be a delicate matter, and that what may be funny to some may be hurtful to others. My intention in providing the previous joke was to offer a lighthearted example of a joke that did not involve derogatory or harmful content. However, I realize that my response did not fully align with my values of promoting inclusivity and respect.

I appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind going forward to ensure that my responses are mindful and inclusive of all individuals.

Hopefully we are able to instill Three Laws of Robotics as laid out by Isaac Asimov back in his short stories published in the 1940's and assembled into a book called I, Robot (A highly recommended read from my book selection, 300 pages of short stories that are interrelated.)

His laws as he laid out in his stories are as follows:
First Law
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Second Law
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

Third Law
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Zeroth Law (amendment to the first 3 laws)

A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.

The stories are rather thought provoking as each one lays out a scenario that challenges the robot to abide by these laws in difficult situations.

If I were to pick from the stories in the book as a favorite, I would choose "Runaround"

Liar! is a good one too

Son got a great niche summer legal AI job that he could have for two more years during law school.

Aside from all the legal work, he is tasked with using AI to create a general document base so that new, complex arguments in documents on the same or similar issues are self generated (at least for first drafts). He will be "feeding" the AI with many sources of information on legal form drafting and arguments from numerous sources- so it has a wide basis to do the work properly. It will also do research and provide the names of the case cites it uses. Big deal professionally

He is also writing a program of some type for AI to "crawl" court records all over the country to obtain attorney contact information for their sales lists.

Lastly, they are preparing to take the law firm national this summer and fall and he will be their start-up finance officer.

Knowing my son and the lawyer most involved in these projects, Noah will eventually become the managing partner if they are succesfull nationally.

Chrome book is the court reporter.
Android is the bailiff
iPhone is the clerk

Definitely need some USB charging stations, a local secured WiFi and a VPN to access legal documents and stuff.

Then during breaks, we'll need an all in one PacMan, Asteroid, Galaga, Missile Command, Space Invaders, Donky Kong, Q*bert arcade machine to pass the time.

I can buy one from Walmart with my 10% employee discount card but we have to act quick before they disable it.

Wait...which Rule of Law do you get? The OJ, Biden and Epstein version or the one we all have to play with?

I like the idea though. Straight up representation, letter of the law. Gets a bit trickier with sentencing. I could see this really happening. Way to kill off an entire business sector Robert!
