Love this song!

8 minutes of blues from the AI delta.

The worst case would be, one day a "godlike" AI would want to end the dumb "wetware" out there, and had the power to do it.

If engineers are using AI for calculations I hope they are better.

Google’s AI actually got it right.

Was that the AI response from a normal search, or using duck.ai? They don't say in the help which LLM they use for the former, while the latter lets you pick from several - in which case it would be nice to know which one it was.

What Are the AI Darwin Awards?
Named after Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, the original Darwin Awards celebrated those who "improved the gene pool by removing themselves from it" through spectacularly stupid acts. Well, guess what? Humans have evolved! We're now so advanced that we've outsourced our poor decision-making to machines.
The AI Darwin Awards proudly continue this noble tradition by honouring the visionaries who looked at artificial intelligence—a technology capable of reshaping civilisation—and thought, "You know what this needs? Less safety testing and more venture capital!" These brave pioneers remind us that natural selection isn't just for biology anymore; it's gone digital, and it's coming for our entire species.
Because why stop at individual acts of spectacular stupidity when you can scale them to global proportions with machine learning?

Search.

At this point with the general-purpose chat bots it seems we're still in the zone of having to check everything they say so I don't use them for real work. I looked at the answer in this case as one of my occasional "let's see how dismal cat bots remain today" tests. I would guess it made two errors. One is confusing RMS and P-P the other is confusing 22 with 20. +20 dBu is 7.75 Vrms.
 
I tried to report a bug to Substack at the weekend. That was dismal too but also infuriating. I reported the bug with all the technicalities to reproduce and how to fix it. It tried to fob me off with FAQ-type boilerplate. I repeated myself and it got excessively apologetic and obsequious, in that way that only chat bots seem to, flattering me and my excellent bug report. I asked it if it would pass on my report to engineering. It said I'm sorry I can't do that (Dave). I asked what is the point of this conversation and support tool if I cannot report a bug. It asked if I wanted it to pass my report to the product team.

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

As someone who, amongst other things - worked on rather large diesel engines, the analogy is fitting: the only way to stop a run-away diesel is to cut off either the air, or the fuel. Both are harder than the layman would think. Same goes for this so-called AI - when it runs out of control, and it will - the approach has to be sophisticated and experienced, or severe injury not excluding death is a distinct possibility. You will have to cut off Data, or the power supply. Preferably both.

Given that these systems are used to automate bureaucratic decisions about who receives what service, medical, housing, insurance, penal etc., I would assume that's already beyond a possibility.

Other people's wasted-of-time has come to my aide by saving me time for the kinds of questions that were only achievable thru the waste of the OLD 'search' engines.

You don't go to any-old travel agent when planning a trip; same; while searching for knowledge!
"Opinions are like a**holes and everyone got one" no longer holds true and we now have another supplemental, yet a novel tool to add to our toolboxes.

Have you heard about the significant [massive?] reduction in Substack traffic, since the release of chatBots?:(
