Artificial Intelligence

Reading Kate Crawford book.

The world is now about extracting. From mines, from us.
Maybe that is the end of AI? It cannot help itself from extracting data about us. With unlimited electricity going to "mining."
She spied on a NSA facility of 1.2 million square feet. Is it using 1.7 million gallons of water a day in Utah? Nobody knows. It is pumped from the ground and...what?

AI will be limited by Gallium.

This is the asset to hold. Very liquid.

AI this. AI that. The fact that soooo many people are constantly pushing this-or-that AI service, or just calling their thing 'AI' when it's just some predefined search queries to a database, suggests to me that AI is a massive hype-bubble. If it worked like it was claimed to we'd just be using it and getting on with our lives. It's crypto or NFTs all over again.

It generates it's own hype and being AI it is quite good at it. The show will end, sometime. I guess the leccy bills post Iran will be the noose to break the camels back.

It's for cooling ...there are no serious side effects of slightly warmer water going back into the environment ...there are some benefits.
Its not like an industrial chemical process that consumes the water and adds chemicals and pollutants.

The electricity consumption is an issue if it is fossil derived, if not then who cares - the billionaires are buying their own nuclear plants.

Very little oil is used to generate electricity.

People ARE using it massively and "getting on with their lives" cept the ones having to change career paths.

Most AI books on the shelf are either "look how cool this is" or really negative views of the AI world. I thought...it's too cold to go to even a store...I would look at Amazon and Barnes and Noble ( I get free shipping)

My choice just browsing readers and their comments was:
J F Graley, understanding Artificial Intelligence

I asked Google AI for something that would be better as an introductory book. I have already got rid of two other introductory books. Neither was worth keeping as refefence.

Google AI recommended a Dummies book and two others. The one I picked as something I could read was:
Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick

Will summarize when I get it.

I had an amusing moment with Claude Sonnet. I'm reading Barbara Truelove's Of Monsters and Mainframes Kindle version, which has binary text headings for each part of the novel. After decoding a couple by hand, I tried to get Claude to do it and got flagged by it's safety filters.

How 'bout that. An AI that's scared of binary text.

[Svartalf]

well, is that just binary text, or could it be code?

Well, it translated to plain old ASCII characters that made sense in context of the book, and not any programming language I'm familiar with.

"Artificial is the best kind of intelligent."
"All my links are purple."
"i don't speak computer."
"werewolves > vampires"

It's been a fun read so far.

Lame, but perhaps there's a vulnerability that its creators weren't willing to spend the time to fix so they simply made a blanket rule. When you say 'by hand' I assume you were typing the binary into a translator.
