Today I watched reddit.com Interviews Noam Chomsky and in the video you can see a laptop in the background that pops up various words. I’m not sure why these words are there, it looks like some sort of screensaver. Anyway, I wrote down all the words that I could see properly and then wrote a program to put them in the following table:
The thing that impresses me about George Lakoff is not that he’s right, so much as it is that he realises that most of traditional (and even contemporary) Western thought is wrong, and he has a go at fixing it.
Sometimes I’m impressed by things I did when I was younger. This image still holds truth and insight for me, my opinion or perspective hasn’t really changed much in the way I regard it. I wonder if that’s a bad thing?
The more I learn about Artificial Intelligence the more I worry about actual human intelligence.
It seems like objective reality is constrained in significant ways, and I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to know or speak the whole truth.
I’ve started the ML class.
My notes are on my sixsigma wiki.
I noticed this in my inbox today, it got past the spam filter:
“If all you dream about is pain relief, why are you still living? It is not real life!”
It’s fun to interpret it in different ways. And it’s kind of shocking as an advertisement.
I think this is rather amusing.
If you go to the AI-class FAQ the first thing you will see is:
Q: What if I don’t receive a verification e-mail after submitting my enrolment?
A: Confirm that it is not in your spam box.
Which is funny, isn’t it? I mean, it’s applied AI that is doing your spam filtering, and the most likely cause of you not getting your email from the AI-class is that the AI that’s filtering your mail is wrong with a false-positive.
Well I think it’s funny. :P
I think I’m clever.
I used to link to this soundtrack (and I still do) from my manifesto, but I reckon approximately no-one clicked on it.
Now when you go to www.jj5.net you can click on the …with soundtrack link on the top of the page and browse with the site’s soundtrack playing. Cool!
I don’t want to protect the system, I want to be a part of the system worth protecting.
