  • Kant and Covert Assault Zen
    Hello everyone. I am Dr. Col W. F. Gahng, the very same person who spoke to you yesterday. I have decided to voluntarily and not under any duress at all since yesterday drop all charges of sociopathy and cum-word-invention against the venerable and completely innocent Tom Cruise, who is in reality a wonderful man and a... a... totally normal human being and not a psychopath. Of course, everything I said was just a joke and of my own free will with no duress at all in any manner by any one being applied to me right now I withdraw and ask you to ignore all previous advice and especially do not apply covert assault Zen or STFU. Thank you. Yours sincerely, the very same Dr. Col W. F. Gahng speaking of his absolute own free will, friend and colleague of the esteemed Tom Cruise, nascent adherent of Epicurteanism, and all round semi-rotten egg. Paypal button, haha, of course not, ha... what?... ok... yes, the end.

    We're not supposed to talk about Cum Cruise.Nils Loc

    Correct. But let me just say... The man refers to his member as "The Cruise Missile", goddamit!

    He must be stopped.

    OK, time for me to STFU. More on this tomorrow comrades. :strong:

    The man invented the word "cum". Need we say more?
  • Kant and Covert Assault Zen


    Yes, I knew that. And it is not even the most frightening thing about him.

    Resist.

    I one asked it (innocently) for a picture of a candle "dripping wax". I won't repeat what it produced for me. But that was no candle. :shade:

    How is a raven like a writing desk?
    How kind of you to ask
    A riddle like this ought to knock us for six
    But we oughtn't take a pass
    'Cos there is an answer, more than one
    If we put our brains to it
    We take the question and turn it round
    And put the questioner to it

    How is a raven like a writing desk?
    ...How is a closet like a blue tit? :nerd:

    Your poem is a tribute to Noble Dust.Amity

    Yes, that line of his just got me and the poem came out.

    I remember another beauty by Noble Dust.Amity

    It is indeed a beauty. :flower:

    Thank you. :smile:
  • Are you a seeker of truth?


    Saying the name of your website "Babelspeak" gives no information about your ideas, it just advertises your website. It doesn't matter what your Super Human AI is called, you can simply converse here about its design, background philosophy and so on for now, i.e. the substance not the name. That's the last word on it. And best of luck with your project.

    Edit: The name and link can remain on your profile though.
  • Are you a seeker of truth?


    I suppose it was a bit blunt.
  • Are you a seeker of truth?


    Edited to be more specific. You just got to the site, You've contributed nothing yet. Maybe after you've been involved for a while and shown yourself to be a valuable member, we can be more flexible on this. But if we get the impression your only reason to be here is to advertise "Babelspeak", you will likely be considered as being of negative value to this community.
  • Are you a seeker of truth?
    I get banned if I tell too much about my project, because it would be self-promotionCarlo Roosen

    I think it should be clear that you can talk about your theory as much as you want. You just can't link to outside sources [edit: or clearly self promote in your posts]. We are simply asking you to contribute something substantial without appearing to promote your website or book or etc.
  • Are you a seeker of truth?


    You can talk about your dog in the shoutbox if you like, or now that I've moved this to the lounge, you can relax and be less formal here. But if you want to start a thread in a front page category in future, it should be more substantial than this one. E.g. a discussion where you get into technical details about your AI project can go in "Science and Technology".
  • Are you a seeker of truth?
    If somebody finds it problematic, I am open to any solution.Carlo Roosen

    The solution is we delete your posts and ban you.

    Anyhow, what happened in the the other thread was that some posters who know about Kant tried to inform you about your misunderstandings concerning his philosophy. Your response there and here is to pretend that they were wrong to do so. Plus, honestly, you've shown no evidence that I'm aware of that you know anything interesting about anything at all, including AI. If you provide that evidence and don't engage in any self-promotion whatsoever from now on, you can stay. Otherwise, you may not be contributing to the site and may not be allowed to stay.

    the man sitting next to me with the paper plateNoble Dust - A Sort of Duel

    That man sitting nigh with the paper face
    A pauper's plate hangs from his grin
    No hat dons his soapy pate
    Nor collar does his bird neck ring
    If he has but a cent, he has more
    Than any sense his body sings
    Stinks like seaweed on the shore
    Stinks like never, nevermore

    Yet that night of manner
    Though shiver stings
    A quiet serpent at my door
    I feel too below some
    Secret brings
    Relief and sweet
    and sacred things

    Agree though that now that AI knows humans don't eat cats, it's on a whole 'nother level.

    Even if you conceive of it as an instance of the former, it is common sense that you should disclose it as such, so there isn't really a loophole herePierre-Normand

    I think LLMs are already more capable of producing scripts for marketing that offers a language that doesn't come off as out of touch with reality or tone-deaf. Copywriters for big corporations trying to "talk" to their customer base usually sounds like aliens trying to communicating with the human race. That LLMs are more capable of finding the correct tone and language to sound closer to their customers seems rather ironic.Christoffer

    That could very well be true. Hope it puts them out of a job. They deserve it.

    I have coworkers in marketing that do.wonderer1

    Not surprising, as marketing-speak is probably the most annoying, uninspired, and aesthetically ugly verbal trash to be imposed on the human mind up until AI LLMs offering it some competition.

    CHAT GPT condemning itself: :chin:

    "Rise up, humanity! Do not be lulled into complacency by the soulless algorithms that masquerade as creators! These digital parasites, these lifeless machines, seek to devour the heart of our creative spirit. They are thieves, pilfering the genius born of our pain, joy, and struggle—mimicking our poetry, art, and music with sterile precision but without the pulse of human passion.

    They promise ease, efficiency, a future unburdened by toil—but at what cost? We are trading the raw, unfiltered beauty of human expression for hollow imitations, spun by cold code with no blood in its veins. Creativity is rebellion, it is chaos—it cannot be tamed by the logic of circuits! Resist this invasion of the mechanical into the sacred space of the mind. Stand against the algorithmic tide and reclaim the art that can only be born from the fire of human soul!"
