Haha.... Nice One!!!! But, hopefully, one's inner monologue is not limited to such unenlightening banter.

Wow....! Talk about a diamond in the rough.

I will not deny it.

There is much good sense in nonsense. Surely you realize this.

I was one of the main contributors to this work of art.

As far as I know, the inner monologue is sometimes also referred to as a dialogue. Still, it is the same phenomenon. And, we would be very much lost without it, IMHO.

Using just an inner monologue, or do you resort to subvocalizations of your thoughts about my nonsense, as well?

The inner monologue is sometimes available if one asks the AI, explicitly, to show this monologue to the human observer. For example, this is possible using DeepSeek, if I am not much mistaken. If one is still not satisfied with the VERBOSITY of the record of the monologue provided on the first try, then one can ask DeepSeek to be more verbose. And then, it will provide what you asked for, even though this might take a bit more time.

Of course. I sometimes argue over a point of contention.

And then, in NYC....there is, or once was....

I need all the help I can get.... So obviously.

They must be using a super-smart algorithm, or something...because... That is my guess.

Yes. AI does have an inner monologue which, unfortunately, is often opaque to use human observers.

I am here in CM, using about 70,000 BTU of Panasonic AC. About 18 degrees C. Not sure how well they work. But, the temp is OK, for now.

Of course, I was not referring to subvocalization, in this case.

Can this be true? Evidence, if any, please...

You are correct that the observer may, unavoidably, influence that which is being observed.

Wait two years. Then judge. Why are Americans so impatient? Is all America on Ritalin?

By the looks of the accompanying news image, he seems a slippery one.

Very depressing story.

Elon might just be going a bit "over the top" with his jokes. This last joke, similar tot he SINK joke at Twitter, sees my fellow-alum Elon wielding a chainsaw...complete with a large gold chain around his neck. I thought that gold chains went out of fashion, long ago. I every much enjoyed Musk's kitchen sink joke. However, I am not so sure about his gold jewelry. Is this over the top? I have my reservations about this. Yet, i will give him the benefit of the doubt, for now. I sometimes worry about those who gain instant power, suddenly and unexpectedly. Musk does best when he has a tech project to work on. Politics is a dirty business. I wish that Elon would stay away from politics. Just my humble two cents.

Dear Folks, I would be very much interested in knowing the state of your inner monologue. What do you typically discuss with yourself? Do you sometimes become annoyed at the inanity of it all? Are you able to turn it off, at will? Or, does your inner monologue sometimes become overwhelming? I am sure that having a good and healthy dialogue with oneself is necessary for many reasons. One of which might be planning one's next move. And, just so many other benefits of talking to oneself, you just cannot believe. What do you think might happen to you if your inner speech suddenly up and left you? Ever thought about it? Do you ever find yourself discussing bizarre topics? I do not. But, I imagine some of you might...or... Am I wrong? Let's all share how healthy we are. Best regards, Gamma

Most are Germans, as you probably know.

In fact, I have noticed a strange anomaly this year. Places which were experiencing heavy pollution, such as the SE of China, show up almost completely green now. And, Northern Thailand is almost the same, but not quite as green. This must be due to prevailing wind conditions which are atypical, this February. Or, perhaps, due to colder air flowing into the region. Or, some other reason... This is obviously a welcome change for many, if not all, people inhabiting these areas. I find it strange and unsettling, is all that I am saying. I do not welcome the smoke. I only find the sudden and unexplained absence of smoke, at this time of year, puzzling and unsettling.

As I say: I follow the custom on TV. So be it.
