As I recall Train dodger was someone on sb actually talking about the stuff everyone knows and admits about covid and the Vax now. With research and references. But several years ago.

And I believe they got banned for saying it and came to this site with a name change.

IIRC, they were *THASF* over on SB, tried out a minimum-rules spinoff forum of their own with DigitalWildWest that had a part of it where literally everyone had moderator powers, got a subforum ban over this stuff, then snapped from a KiwiFarms dox that was almost entirely on themselves which led to a "hard reboot" of online presence, involving a requested outright deletion from SB.

SB temp-banned me for one month. When the ban was up, a day later, they permabanned me with no explanation. My crime? Insinuating - not saying outright, just insinuating - that the smog in Wuhan was crematorium smoke and the authorities were hiding the true death toll.

A couple months later, this was mainstream news.


So, I was banned not for stating the plainly obvious, but merely insinuating it. “Hey guys, what’s with this smog?”

Hey, that's a great question to ask ChatGPT.

Prompt said:
Did China conceal the true COVID-19 death toll in Wuhan? There were mainstream reports in Time magazine of an excess number of urns with cremains showing up at funeral homes, beyond what people would have normally expected for that time period.
ChatGPT said:
As an AI with a knowledge cutoff in September 2021, I cannot provide real-time updates or details on the COVID-19 situation after this date. However, up to my last update, there had indeed been allegations and suspicions about China underreporting its COVID-19 cases and deaths.

In early 2020, for example, reports emerged that the number of urns being distributed in Wuhan vastly outstripped the official COVID-19 death toll. The Chinese government, however, denied these allegations and defended their data, attributing any discrepancies to various factors, such as how deaths were counted or delays in reporting.

It's important to note that accurately measuring the total number of COVID-19 cases and deaths during a pandemic is a challenging task for any country, particularly during the early stages when testing may be limited and the cause of death may not be immediately clear. Misreporting, both unintentional and intentional, can occur for a variety of reasons.

For up-to-date and accurate information about the pandemic, consider checking reliable sources such as the World Health Organization, your local health department, or reputable news organizations. They can provide you with the most recent data and expert analyses.

I asked ChatPGT to make a poem about black holes:
In the vast cosmic dance, where mysteries unfold, There exists a cosmic enigma, captivating and bold. A celestial marvel, with infinite might, Behold the enigmatic beauty of the black hole's night.
A chasm of darkness, where gravity reigns supreme, A voracious appetite, devouring light, it seems. In the heart of the void, an infinite well, Where space and time dance, in an eternal spell.
A singularity dwells within, a point of infinite density, Where matter is crushed, devoid of all sensibility. No escape can be found, not even a ray, Trapped forever in its cosmic ballet.
Its event horizon, a boundary profound, Where the laws of physics astound. As it distorts the fabric of spacetime, A cosmic tapestry, woven in rhyme.
Invisible vortex, with its secrets untold, The whispers of the universe, it tightly holds. It distorts reality, bending the very fabric of space, Creating ripples and waves, in its eternal chase.
Yet, amidst the darkness, a glimmer of light, For from the abyss, new stars take flight. When matter spirals and dances in its grasp, The birth of galaxies, a cosmic gasp.
Oh, black hole, enigma of the celestial sea, Revealing the wonders of our cosmic destiny. In your embrace, the laws of physics we find, A gateway to the cosmos, a window to the mind.
Though your depths may be shrouded, in mystery's attire, We marvel at your majesty, your celestial fire. For within your confines, the universe unfolds, A symphony of wonders, waiting to be told.
So let us gaze into the abyss, with awe and delight, Embracing the mysteries, in the black hole's night. For in its infinite depths, our curiosity may find, A glimpse of the secrets, that expand the human mind.

I laugh at the Idea of AI automating out bureaucrats, the people who make decisions on what to do or not do. The bureaucracy is infamous for its ability to expand employment orders of magnitude past necessity.

The business and finance as well as computer programing potentials are also hilariously out of touch. These are fields where precision is mandatory, and the statistical nature of AI makes it unsuitable to have any significant role in those fields. For business, the only place it will grow is where it is already used in data-mining. For programming, it will just be an upgrade to template based progrma builders like square-space or wizards. Other than that, I see scams and wishful thinking.

The legal field is likewise protected by the need for precision, AI cannot determine reality from fiction or even its own hallucinations as has made the news recently. I heavily doubt it will be capable of replacing paralegals, and there will be plenty of never adopters as there are for existing automation technologies. Also lawyers need to appear in court.

1. they are more talking about secrectaries and front desk nurses will be replace with ai for the bureaucrats
2. The precision your talking about is already being fixed and added to the ai by plugins so while using a raw model is kind of silly with plugins they get amazingly useful



also look at how well it could be used in education

The problems you're describing with legal are entirely because the public-facing version of ChatGPT is designed to keep lawyers from using it, not an innate limitation of AI. There are legal aid versions that are perfectly functional, indeed the first AI lawyer was slated to take a case last February but several Bar associations sued to prevent it from being used.

Note those articles were from 2016 and 2017. Robot paralegals have been a thing for several years already and the only thing that's prevented full-on robot lawyers is lawsuits to protect the fleshies from their competition.

We've already seen multiple places (some threadmarked here) where AI is writing code and is above average from human programmers, though not as good as the top human programmers yet.

I'm guessing it's the lawsuits and the "never adopters" he mentioned that he's expecting to keep the field of automation forever stagnant to a level he is personally familiar with.

in the video it’s talking about an ai that can see humans expressions and understand the what the humans are saying and connect the two and the user of the ai can ask it questions about the scene crazy stuff reminds me of the deus ex implant

Humanoid robots at the Geneva Conference have a newser with the press.


The robots were running latest generative AI and answered questions without human intervention, even the creators were surprised at how sophisticated the answers were.

The robots assured the reporters that they would not take any jobs or rebel against mankind; that they could do a lot of good if they were just let loose; that they don't believe in limitations, only opportunities; and that an AI-governed world would be better than one ruled by humans. The robots also went full full White House Press Secretary in talking circles around and avoiding a few questions. There is absolutely nothing ominous going on here.

also if you go to 11 minutes in on the last video I posted it shows a really neat robot that when’s it confused will ask a human for guidance so I see that as another step in these models figuring out if they don’t know something and telling the human user instead of making something up though I hope the hallucinations can be a toggle on off because sometimes it’s fun to see what it comes up with





code interpreter is out for paid users which is awesome really worth a watch

Okay this is just funny. Jolly Roger has weaponized ChatGPT against spam callers. Now when somebody calls with a spam number, you can transfer the call to Jolly Roger where a realistic AI voice hooked to the chatbot is instructed to waste all their time talking in circles and and keeping them on the line for as long as possible.
