A young girl born without a vagina came to doctors complaining of intermittent abdominal pain – which, in many ways, mimicked contractions. Further investigations by doctors revealed a foetus within her uterus – and that the woman’s pain were happening because she was in labour. The baby was immediately delivered via c-section.

Given the girl was born without a vagina, this ruled out intercourse as the method of conception. But precisely 278 days before, the girl had been admitted to hospital with stab wounds in her stomach. The wounds were the result of a knife fight between her, her jealous ex and her new partner.

It transpired that just before the knife fight had occurred, she had performed oral sex on her new partner. So when the surgery was done to repair her stomach wounds, it potentially washed any sperm that still existed around her abdominal cavity – allowing them to migrate towards and fertilise the ovum.

That was one wild ride…

I would mostly be confused based on my lack of any programming experience.

NO, IT IS THE BAD KIND

Gonna have to go the Bill and Ted route.

I’ll figure out what I need in the next 50 years and let him know there. Now the time traveler can just tell me whatever I want to have wanted to know.

I’d say more than that. I don’t think anyone is that close to AGI…yet

A calculator does most of it too, but this is a LLM that can do lots of other things also, which is a big piece of the “general” part of AGI.

Richard Feynman said “You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say, “How did he do it? He must be a genius!”

We are close to a point where a computer that can hold all the problems in its “head” can test all of them against all of the tricks. I don’t know what math problems that starts to solve but I bet a few of them would be applicable to cryptology.

But then again, I have no idea what I’m talking about and just making bold guesses based on close to no information.

What would really tie it together is the transition to the next day/murder investigation scene showing it drop down to room temperature.

Now, if I was trying to destroy financial records, I could think of worse ways than for them to “accidentally” be shipped to an employee and “lost.” Even better if the employee actually destroys them for me.

It kind of sounds like the sort of antics a company about to go under and unable to pay debtors/taxes might do…

Yes, I would drink even more until I physically couldn’t anymore. Very quirky.

If ‘anybody’ does anything similar to tracing, copy&pasting or even sampling a fraction of another person’s imagery or written work, that anybody is violating copyright.

Ok, but tracing is literally a part of the human learning process. If you trace a work and sell it as your own that’s bad. If you trace a work to learn about the style and let that influence your future works that is what every artist already does.

The artistic process isn’t copyrighted, only the final result. The exact same standards can apply to AI generated work as already do to anything human generated.

I take it we don’t use the phrase “good writers borrow, great writers steal” in this day and age…

There’s a thing that cult leaders often do where they make increasingly stricter demands on their followers, it reduces the number of members, but the one who remain are much more easily controlled (because they self selected for that trait. I think something similar is part of the picture for these companies. The people who simply do as they are told and come back (as opposed to looking for new jobs) are more easily controlled by the company.

Also you can’t always assume that just because a company is really big it’s always making the most best, always correct choices. Like GE managed with “vitality curves.”

I have the easiest DIY sauce you can get:

• 28 oz can of tomatoes (either whole or diced, ived used both)

• 1 onion cut in half

• 1/2 stick of butter

You put them all in a sauce pan on medium heat until it looks like sauce.
