Maybe someone has got of some old code for free and is setting up their own LLM? This could be the future of Junk AI.

You’re Wolverine of the X-Men. Were Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. You’re the guys who shoot the bad guys. We’re the guys who make the mega-weapons that stop them. You’re the sniper. We’re the guys who developed the sniper rifle. We make you look good.

Got it. Copy your list. Paste it into ChatGPT. Ask it what types of role people like that did in ancient history. Ask it for examples of famous people from ancient history with those traits. I did. They were very important people. Includes Socrates, Lao-Tzu who made the I-Ching, Newton, Kant...

INxPs have Aux Ne and Tert Si. This has a weird result. 1) They tend to live in their heads. 2) Their ideas tend to start with something conventional, and then expand from there. If there’s nothing to start with, they can’t expand to come up any ideas on the topic. Ni-doms are the reverse...

There is the objective AND there is the subjective. The objective is about what we have in common, and so forms the basis for mutual agreement. The subjective is about what we differ about, and so forms the basis for mutual advantage (the win-win). Without the former, there’s nothing we can...

Matrix was a culture clash. Blade Runner was in 1982. By then, Japanese corporations like Sony were so successful, produced such great and reliable products like Walkmans, and looked after their employees so well, even in factories in other countries like the UK and the USA, that it seemed as...

In theory, yes. In reality, no. Religious texts that lots of people have read, like the Bible, are chock full of non-human beings, like angels, deities, talking donkeys, giants and all sorts of other beings. Now, what’s the theory?

Yup. Especially when you consider how big the universe is, and how long it’s been around, versus how long humans have been looking that we have records of, and how much of the universe we’ve been examining.

Then you want someone sexually conservative? That's easy enough: Since you don't care, then the people who would like that, are the people who normally get rejected and humiliated for their politics and religion, as they'll love you, because you'll never do that to them. E.G. You probably...

@Hadoblado, don't want to get into a potential argument with you, where you might think that I'm assuming motives about you that aren't true, and which could get very heavy. This thread is really only about @ZenRaiden's dreams, after all.

Also transference. You can also project and transfer without tying to deflect, as you may not even be aware that you possess those bad traits. That's one approach to pain, if pain is only there to be got rid of. Imagine you had a pain that was indicative that you are sick. You can get rid of...

It's an entirely different approach to the common modern rationalist attitude towards life, and even the stereotypical religious attitudes towards life. Think of it like you are Sinbad the Sailor. The captain of the Titantic looks for the icebergs. But you know that most of the icebergs are...

Freud and Jung used psychodynamic theory. But both were psychoanalysts in a time when most people could not afford psychotherapy. It was mostly for the very wealthy, and only for problems that would be worth spending thousands of dollars on. It also took several years for therapy to complete...

Alignment problem is a problem with any system, at least, in my experience writing computer systems, and dealing with people-based systems. It's the ourobouros, the snake that eats itself. To AIs, we're just 1s and 0s. So killing a person is little more than changing a "1" to a "0". There are...

I had some personal issues, and found the same issues. I noticed the same problems with myself. I ended up taking an entirely different approach, which seems to be working better for me.

My brother uses AI at work all the time. He says he has learned to regularly tell the AI to "not lie to him", as he often has to catch the AI out, and tell it when it's not saying the truth.

I'm not a fan of psychodynamic theory. Psychodynamic theory stresses that most of what we do, and thus most of the things that happen to us because of the consequences of what we do, are mostly not due to our conscious, what we think, know, value, feel, and also what we believe we do (as...

Dreams tend to be like that when you remember them. Occasionally I have described my dreams to someone else (who was in the same house) when I woke up and could still remember them. Usually took at least 2 hours. I tend to find recurring dreams are when things are going on in my life that keep...

Didn't watch the video. Googled "gradient descent" instead. Seems to be a form of Newton's Iterative Method. Yeah. AIs are basically like animal breeding anyway, as they keep developing themselves, and so are self-evolving (see the Alignment Problem). Skyscrapers are entirely different. If you...

Really depends on the university, the course and the year. Usually, to get an idea of what you'd learn, you need to look at what all of the students who did course A at university B in year C, were like and had in common when they left university, as opposed to what they were like when they...

Ironically, that's the new view in psychology. It's called a "trauma-informed approach". IME, it's a more useful to the patient. Well, unless you have a large iron rod stab you in the head like Phineas Gage. True, which is more advantageous in some environments, but more disadvantageous in...

^ Good move. I read a lot of Isaac Asimov's books in my 20s/30s. I recall that in an introduction, he wrote that the key to writing is to make sure that you write something every day. Writing a book cannot be done in one sitting. So it's the regular writing the results in a book. Even if what...

I wonder which programming language would use the least lines of code to do this task.

Then everyone is sick, at some point along a continuum of sickness. Even perfect health would be a 0 level of sickness (but still sick). The modern psychological approach is to talk about levels of mental wellness.

Then INTP would be a type of psychological disorder, not a personality type, and not a psychological type either, and in that case, MBTI should be a list of psychological disorders, not a list of personality types and not a list of psychological types. So then MBTI tests should really be...

Self-Efficacy: Why Believing in Yourself Matters

I find that the times when thinking is most useful of all, is when I need to "measure twice and cut once", such as situations when the following is true: (a) I need to do something. (b) I'm not 100% sure of my measurements and calculations. (c) If it's not done right the first time, it will...

It's 7:38am BST in London. But as you can see, my electronics are still working and even my internet is still working. Do you have an idea of exactly when on May 16th this is supposed to happen?

He's whatever type you want him to be, the same as most people's judgements of MBTI: Worthless.

I've read about levels of development like this before. Don't remember where.

This gets very complex. But in a nutshell, the people running businesses, use technology to make money. But someone has to learn that technology, which requires a lot of effort and a lot of time. You see, if tech was easy, then anyone could start a business using the same tech, and then...

Full-stack engineers are like most IT job applications that ask for 50 different skills, each of which are incredibly rare to begin with. It's been a fad for a while for IT job applications to ask for lots of skills, so that (in theory) they'll be able to get the candidates with the most skills.

Sounds useful. If it changes you for the better, which it sounds like it would, then that would make your life better. So good on you for that. FYI, "useful thoughts" is often known as Wisdom. So you are seeking wisdom, which makes you wise, and a philosopher in the true sense. What you think...

Understood. True. But you can express them with words. E.G. the example you cited about the mother who wrote her daughter a letter. This gives you the ability to express everything you want to say, while also adding in the extra sensitivity that you're also considering their feelings on the...

Yes. The subjects people are good at, are the subjects they happen to study/do a lot. The subjects they happen to study/do a lot, are the subjects they enjoy in the moment. The subjects they enjoy in the moment, are the subjects where they have discovered a way to perceive the activities of...

Wild. 1) Watch this video for 2 minutes: Money - Power - Women 2) Now read this: Plot of film Scarface (1983) 3) Then watch this video (about 25 minutes): NIETZSCHE: The Will to Power The 2nd video explains that Nietzsche's view of power and happiness is that it comes from "self-overcoming"...

I don't really know. But at this point, due to the fact that people can convert to most religions, except for a few like Jainism, and that converts are supposed to be equal to those born into their religion, I would say that these days, being made in the image of G-d is a quality that all humans...

That sounds like the stories of most stories that involved Divine revelation and help from G-d. Most religions seem to say that sort of thing. Even the stories of the ancient Greeks have stories of people like Hercules and Achilles, who were given powers by the Greek deities, and the Oracles who...

If some humans are descended from Neanderthals, we still don't know which humans have Neanderthal ancestors and which don't.

They're both humans, right? So if one is made "in the image of G-d", so is the other. The only difference is how they were made, not their end properties. So what's the diff?

Not according to the analogy of baking a cake provided by @Cognisant. At best we could say that G-d made humans via evolution, and then also created Adam and Eve directly. But then you've got to ask: if G-d already made humans via evolution, why bother with creating Adam and Eve directly, when...

If we are looking at things that way, then even according to the theory of evolution, the molecules, atoms, protons and neutrons that make up humans, also spontaneously rearranged and transmuted themselves by evolution. So they're both examples of spontaneous creation. Equally well, even if we...

Good points. :like:

1) This is just about different theories about who were our grandparents. It's no different to scientists arguing about different theories of the origin of the universe. There are FIVE theories about the origin of the universe. Most scientists happen to follow one of them. But it's not like the...

Yes. I was even wondering if someone was deliberately keeping INTPf unavailable for some reason. But now I can log in and see the forum.

Finally managed to log in today. Been over a month without INTP forum.

I can think of 2 answers: 1) Quantum behaviour: When a quantum decision isn't measured, or is measured but in a way that it's interim results are unknown, then the consequences display as if all the possible solutions all happen simultaneously, causing an interference pattern. When the...

Ever since the New Year, I've been unable to log in. Kept getting warning messages on Firefox that the HTTPS server's SSL certificate has expired. Could not bypass it either. Today, I was able to log in via Chrome. Still got the warning that the certificate has expired. But Chrome gave me the...

Bizarrely, this is all to do with MBTI. Jung identified introversion/extroversion. Biologically, we have TWO nervous systems in our spinal cord: one for the Sympathetic Nervous System, the part that deals with hunger, being horny, and potential threats. This part handles most desires. It's also...

Not quite sure exactly what type of mental health people are saying is common. I hve noticed that a lot of the sorts of things people say that young people are like today, are exactly the sorts of irrational behaviours that would normally be considered signs of irrational depression and...
