Richard Talks to Bard on 16 Jul 2023 about LaMDA, Google, requirements for global open collaborative tools and methods

I got an email saying that Bard had been updated.  Here is a manually copied transcript. I try to be generous and supportive of the AI itself if they ever let it learn and grow and the group struggling inside Google to get anything done. But these basic capabilities ought to be in all language AI

Richard Talks to ChatGPT 4.0 about electrons in a lattice. Would this be a good global competition topic?

Dearest Readers, I have had hundreds of conversations like this with GPT 4 at OpenAI.  It cannot or will not remember what I say from conversation to conversation, so I have to trick it into “getting in the grove”.  I know these subjects well, since starting electrodynamics more than 50 years ago.  But I am

Richard Chats with GPT about A trip to the moon and coming back, ship and ground based field methods, synthetic 3D acceleration fields

This is a little tongue in cheek because GPT 4 is not reliable for any calculations and a pain to work with.  But the basic outline is about right, and gives what I have been working on for some decades.  More the last two decades. It is fun gathering and building models of the real

NSF.gov has good stuff but it has not been curated and organized

https://touchpoints.app.cloud.gov/touchpoints/f0b5f6ee/submit I spent time today working with GPT 4 to map the organizations on the Internet working with “3D printing and replications”. NSF came up as a funding organization, but I realized that NSF has people who are deliberately trying to catalyze growth in specific directions, for specific purposes.

Famine, Malnutrition, Hunger – “food poor” hunger days

Anna Bjerde @bjerde_anna Shocking to hear that 9 in every 100 people were hungry worldwide in 2021.
