Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. OSS will continue to evolve, in a good way, as it always does. This is the closest thing the software world has to Natural Evolution at its best. We all know that Form should Follow Function. But, in a closed-source model, the evolution of software becomes warped, and not purpose driven, or user-need driven. MS software is full of garbage, especially the newest OS. The purpose of MS software it make maximum money for MS. Everybody knows this.

You mean, KAL is using noisier aircraft to fly out of CM airport? I had been wondering about this. But, have no clue.

I have tried, and tried... Apparently without success. Is there a place on Earth, nowadays, that is not under a flight path? Patagonia, maybe?

Shipping by the pound might be fairer to other passengers. All passengers should just be charged by the kilogram for their tickets. This is really the only sensible solution. Also, this would be healthier for America, too. This would incentivse weight loss, and lower the incidence of type-two diabetes.

This is all HYPE from Sammy. And, this might be just one of the reasons Elon hates him. I don't hate him, but just wish he would go away. Someday, maybe he will.... Such a thorn in Elon's side, and it's a pity. There is really no need for Elon or us to put up with this nonsense. The amount of money Sammy is bandying about, for his company, is ludicrous. This money will not be well-spent, and probably Musk realizes this. https://openai.com/index/announcing-the-stargate-project/ This looks like the advertising propaganda for Florida Real Estate in the 1950s.... Trump is crazy for falling into this trap. Trump should know more about scams, including Real Estate Scams, put forward by other hucksters of the same ilk. Let's now recall the famous honest words from Linus Torvalds....about NVIDIA.....years ago..... Never a truer word was heard.....

This is a decision you yourself need to make. If you think you need to, then...who am I to say that you should not proceed with your citations. I must warn you, however, that I am not one to be impressed by such things.

My reply to your interpretation is this: StarGate is a DUMB Name. It is designed to appeal to the masses who dream of and read Science Fiction, and believe in Star Wars, and the possibility that, one day, Man will travel through wormholes to distant worlds. Sammy knows almost NOTHING about pure science research in the field of computer engineering. He rode on the broomstick of his HYPE machine to where he is now. But he will not last. There are real engineers possessing many years of training and research experience at TOP Schools, who see Sammy for what he truly is. Sammy has no vision, and this is why when his turn came to speak at the news conference with Trump and the guy from Oracle...Sammy had nothing of substance to add to the discussion. He is a bag of hot air and hype, only. Sometimes, much time, too much time, must go by before a huckster is seen for what he is. But, the truth shall out....one of these days. To quote Lady Macbeth: “Out, damned spot” Trump, not knowing much about Science, obviously does not know a "spot" when he sees one, when it pertains to science and technology, and especially pure science. We know this to be true from Trump's past utterances concerning his misunderstanding of all things science-related. If Trump, through his ignorance, follows Sammy down his rabbit hole, then this will, in future, be seen as the greatest error of Trump's second term as president.

As much as I have long-enjoyed reading the long articles in the New York Times, one of which you linked here, the NYT is definitely NOT my go-to source of information for all things AI. In my view, Sammy Boy is just an uneducated Machiavellian charlatan who just happened to luck-out BIG TIME, through no real merit of his own, to become catapulted into the limelight through a bit of TWISTED-fate. In fact, I would compare Sammy to another Elizabeth Holmes, both in body and spirit, so to speak. He seems to obviously be nothing but a bag of hot wind and HYPE. He is also fortunate to be blessed with many good and talented people, working for him, and they are the ones who help to prop him up. In other words, we should see Sammy as a midget standing on the shoulders of giants, rather than seeing him as he apparently sees himself. I don't have any illusions about Trump, as you seem to suggest. And Trump seems to know almost nothing about Science; this is not a field of much interest to Trump, as we have seen time and again. As I have mentioned, I would go to other sources, and not the NYT, to follow developments in AI. One good site you might try is this one, and I will post one/two of the latest videos, if I may: For some strange reason, Sammy Boy has been able to use his HYPE and Machiavellian Ways to convince/fool Trump into thinking that pouring a Trillion dollars into AI, and much of it to OpenAI, is the way to go. This is not the way to go. Massive amounts of money/funding will not guarantee success. This is not the same thing as a Manhattan Project. Major developments in AI will come from out of left-field, possibly. And throwing piles of cash at AI is just stupid. If one were to spend huge amounts of money on anything, then it might be best to spend that money on fostering pure science education, in a much more directed way than has been done in recent decades. It is true that China has been pouring massive amounts of money into technology and pure science research, as well as AI. If the US wishes to go to war with China in order to dominate the sciences and technology, than it needs to spend more and spend more wisely than following the weird plans of this HS Grad, Sammy. AI is NOT a "war" to be won. It is not another First Man on the Moon kind of thing. The Chinese will win any war of this kind, just due to their different approach. Sammy is interested in following his closed-source path, trying to make his OpenAI leader of the pack. He thinks he can get far enough ahead so that nobody will be able to catch up. But OpenAI was not of his making. Sammy WILL be thrown out. They tried to throw him out just a short time ago. They knew what they were doing when they tried. But, Sammy, with his Machiavellian ways, held on like a bad gob of chewing gum on one's shoe. He is still stuck to OpenAI...but.... Not for long, one hopes. You might enjoy reading this very simple book written by Kai-Fu Lee, written back in the dark ages, 2018. Yes, very simple and simplistic, maybe. Still, we knew at the time that the writing was on the wall.... AI is NOT something that any one country will be able to dominate. And, throwing a trillion dollars in any single direction, or to any group of three companies... Is not smart. My best prognostication is that Sam will go the way of Elizabeth Holmes. HYPE is HYPE, after the dust settles. But let's wait and see, because I could be wrong. Although, I will tell you, I am seldom wrong about people like Liz and Sam.

That is the NOISIEST plane flying. Shakes the windows. No noise abatement procedures on takeoff, seemingly. They should stop flying this plane out of here.

I am slowly coming to the realization that you are not very fond of Trump. Hopefully, though, if we all pray about it...someday soon.... You and Trump might learn to see eye-to-eye, or at least, to bury the hatchet.

Having just watched the Documentary in Question in the Topic: I was almost ecstatic to hear Tump say, and tell the press, just how much Elon hates that Verbal-Fry freak Sammy boy. Sammy must go if this major One-Trillion dollar USA AI push is to move forward....in the best way possible. Sammy Boy must go. Nobody likes him. And, in that new conference where he appeared with some smart guys, including the Oracle founder.... Sammy had almost zero to say. He kept his trap shut, knowing that he could not measure up.... Not only being a Short Person, but also a Shallow Person. I think Trump knows. And if Trump does not know.... Elon will, for sure, tell Trump what Elon really thinks of.... Sammy Boy.

My belief is that Elon can only do good in this world....yet.... I realize that some misguided fools have a far different perspective concerning my fellow alum.... However, Obviously, their views are completely without foundation, and childish. They see things, more or less, along these lines, the themes in this fantastic film.... This film is great. But this film is not about Elon... In any way, and not in the slightest.

If you are as interested in AI-Authoring, or AI/AGI, as I suspect you may be... Then... I suggest you subscribe to this EXCELLENT channel.... And learn what is happening...before... AI takes over the world. A DYNAMITE YT channel for everything AI...no joke.... https://www.youtube.com/@aiexplained-official/videos But, best to hurry, before it's too late. Someday soon, YT will be shut down...when the machines take over. And, put on your thinking cap before clicking on this channel, why don't you?

Elon has no interest in ruling Earth. The Earth is doomed, after all.... Elon's biggest plan is to rule Mars. Then, maybe.... One of Jupiter's moons....

Should I have my (mercury) amalgam fillings removed?
GammaGlobulin replied to BangkokHank's topic in Health and Medicine
I would say.... Just have them replaced, as needed, when the fillings naturally require it, from time to time. I am not concerned about such a thing, otherwise. Each to his/her own, though. -
Dear Folks, If your wife or GF looked like this one, would you turn her in for theft? Also, if you were the judge, would you punish her, or let her go? And, if you decided to punish her, what punishment do you believe might suit her crime? And, just looking at her, are you, or are you not, so very happy that you live in Thailand, and not the USA? I am, for one. I have heard that, in many cities, shoplifting is sometimes not even punished. This, however, rises above the level of shoplifting. In addition; do you believe that what she seems to have done to her house is ALSO a crime? Just wondering if my perspective might be warped, compared to those of the majority in the USA...these days. Thank you so much. Best regards, And keep your houses clean.... Gamma

Sleepy Joe's Security Clearance Revoked -
GammaGlobulin replied to theblether's topic in Political Soapbox
No need for Biden to have any sort of security clearance. And, there hasn't been any good reason, during the past 15 years. -
My phone is always...OFF. Meaning, the sound/ring is always kept in the mute position. Nobody calls me, anyway. Sometimes, and unrecognized number shows up, though rarely. I suggest everyone just keep your phone on AIRPLANE mode, 24/7. Not sure where these phone scam calls originate. Maybe in Burma, or someplace?
