I never said it wouldn't happen. But that we would all be dead by the time they do. Your list is near perfect backup for that theory. Jules Verne was dead when his prediction came true. Arthur C Clarke was dead by the time satellite comms became a widespread reality.  Phillip K. Dick died Long before anything really useful came from AI (not automation, just AI) George Orwell was long dead before mass surveillance became common place. 

The Jetsons predicted Floating Cars, Star wars and Star Trek both predicted handheld laser weapons and light speed travel at the snap of a finger, Gattaca predicted self driving cars and 12 fingered piano players. So there are just as many cases of "predictions" not getting any closer to reality as time passes.

… nonsense! Not having a means to distinguish propaganda from reality make it worthless. A quote generator for mindless masses!

How are those driverless cars going?    In 2016, Lyft president John Zimmer took to Medium to claim that “the majority” of trips carried out by the ride-sharing company would happen in fully

Well it’s not my list. But I get you, someone else’s problem.

You nailed it.

It is actually worse than that.   It is going to get people killed.

I will give one simple example in my state of CT.    

Some legislators are proposing to eliminate physical qualifications for female firefighters.

That is the "politically correct" view that the Big Tech "seer" will support.

If that legislation is enacted it will be dangerous for all firefighters and anyone caught in a burning building.

There are many examples of science fiction that has become science fact. Here are a few examples:

“In the early 20th century, science fiction writers predicted the development of television, which has become a common household technology today.

Jules Verne's 1865 novel "From the Earth to the Moon" predicted the use of a rocket to travel to the moon, which was later accomplished by the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.

Arthur C. Clarke's 1945 short story "Extra-Terrestrial Relays" described the concept of using satellites for communication, which is now a widely used technology for television and radio broadcasting, as well as for GPS navigation.

Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" explores the theme of artificial intelligence and robots, which is now an active field of research and development.

The Star Trek series has predicted several technologies such as flip-phone, the tablet, and the use of biometric identification.

George Orwell's "1984" (1949) has predicted the widespread use of surveillance technology and the impact on society.

These are just a few examples, but it's worth noting that many science fiction predictions are still works in progress or have yet to become reality.”

How can you leave off Asimov?!

Again, not my list.

Well, the list's author needs to re-read Jules Verne, because it never predicted a rocket to travel to the Moon. They used a giant canon filled with guncotton to fire the capsule to the Moon.

The most chilling Philip K. Dick prediction was in his short story "Minority Report"--also a well known movie--which introduced the concept of "pre crime"--arresting people because the authorities were convinced they would commit a crime in the future.

The real world version of this is the authorities identifying someone (usually of limited intelligence) and supplying them with the necessary weaponry or explosives to do a crime--and then congratulating themselves on stopping a "threat to democracy" when the authorities were the ones who provided the means and the opportunity.

I asked Dall-e 2 (OpenAI’s other endeavor) to create a painting of Castro riding a giant rocket ship that looks like a cigar in the style of Monet, here’s what it drew:

On the plus side, AI bots may finally cure people of their tendency to believe everything they read.

And force us all, to apply common sense to everything we read, no matter how well written.

This is in fact, why the established players (such as Google), didn't want to apply the technology. People just mindlessly search google, without questioning things. if you have an AI that gives you very very very false results 1% of the time, that may sour users to the whole enterprise or at least make them think twice before hitting enter.

I hope you are right in the first statement.

Unfortunately, I believe that Google will keep investing in their own AI project. And the worst part is that, as it stands today, Google may not implement checks on whether content is AI generated or not. After all, it's not lies or who generates content that count, it's how it's perceived to be useful to "users". I leave it up to you to define what segment is targeted as "users".

Honestly, I sometimes use ChatGPT because English is not my mother tongue. So I run a few things to see if there is a better syntax for me to use. Most ideas I found when I tested it on a wider level are "bias in, bias out". However, I must admit that one day I spent a little bit more time and had an interesting conversation on sensory analysis applied to cigars. Because it takes old learnings from other industries, some parts were surprisingly accurate.

Yes, I think you are right about this. Google is not sitting by and letting this all unfold. Google as well as other major players were investing in the technology while waiting for someone else to break the ice.

Just the other day I saw Microsoft announce they are adding AI to office, and potentially other products of theirs. And I just ran task manager on my wife's work computer the other day and saw a Microsoft office AI agent program listed alongside word.

Microsoft dropped 10 billion on OpenAI two days ago.

edit: and it’s worth noting OpenAI has done nothing but loose money so far.

Yep, this isn’t the full chatgpt3 version we have access to as the public. GPT 4 is supposedly being released by the end of Q1 23. Supposedly Bing is using a dumbed down version of it right now. 

This version that we’re seeing for public use, is just a snippet of the full Chatgpt3 software which is way more powerful than what we have access to.

Edit @Cigar Surgeon-Not being familiar with any of the movies or the intro you’re inquiring about, can you explain what it got it wrong? I’ve tried to confuse it several times and find it’s not to difficult to do.

I asked it, just as you said it here:

Q: “Just pasting my experience today. Spent 15 minutes trying to find the list of classic Kung Fu movies montaged at the start of forbidden kingdom. Zero luck.”

A: I'm sorry to hear that you had difficulty finding the list of classic Kung Fu movies montaged at the start of "Forbidden Kingdom." It can be frustrating when you can't find the information you're looking for, especially when you've spent a significant amount of time searching.

One suggestion I have is to try using different search terms or refining your search query. For example, you could try searching for "list of classic Kung Fu movies featured in Forbidden Kingdom montage" or "Forbidden Kingdom opening sequence Kung Fu movie references." Additionally, you might consider searching for forums or discussion boards related to Kung Fu movies and asking if anyone knows the answer to your question.

If you're still having trouble finding the information you're looking for, feel free to let me know, and I'll do my best to assist you.

Q: Can you list them?

A: Certainly, I can provide you with a list of the classic Kung Fu movies featured in the opening montage of "The Forbidden Kingdom." The movies include:

"Come Drink with Me" (1966)

"Fist of Fury" (1972)

"Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" (1978)

"Enter the Dragon" (1973)

"Five Fingers of Death" (1972)

"The Chinese Connection" (1972)

"Drunken Master" (1978)

I hope this helps!

(Continued:)

Q: Do you know what a movie montage is

Yes, I do! A movie montage is a filmmaking technique where a series of short scenes are edited together to condense a longer period of time into a shorter sequence. Often set to music, montages are used to show the passage of time, the progression of a character's skills or emotional state, or the completion of a task or goal. Montages are frequently used in sports films to show a team's training and progress, and in romance films to depict the development of a relationship. Montages can also be used for comedic effect, such as in the classic "training montage" scene in the movie "Rocky."

Q:Is there a montage at the beginning of the movie Forbidden Kingdom

Yes, there is a montage at the beginning of the movie "The Forbidden Kingdom." The montage shows the journey of the Monkey King, who is a legendary character from Chinese mythology, and his rebellion against the Jade Emperor. The montage uses a combination of live-action and animation, and it is accompanied by narration that provides context for the story. The montage sets up the premise of the movie and introduces the audience to the world of Chinese mythology that the film explores.

Q:Were clips of other movies used to create the montage?

Yes, the montage at the beginning of "The Forbidden Kingdom" uses clips from other movies to help tell the story of the Monkey King. Specifically, the montage features clips from several classic Chinese films, including "The Bride with White Hair," "A Chinese Ghost Story," and "Fist of Legend," among others. These clips are blended with new footage shot for "The Forbidden Kingdom" to create a seamless visual narrative that establishes the mythological setting of the film. Additionally, the montage uses some visual effects to enhance the transitions between the different clips and to add to the overall fantastical atmosphere.

Q: Can you list the movies used in the montage, in the order that they appeared, in the movie Forbidden Kingdom

Yes, I can provide you with a list of the movies used in the montage at the beginning of "The Forbidden Kingdom," in the order that they appear:

"The Bride with White Hair" (1993)

"A Chinese Ghost Story" (1987)

"Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain" (1983)

"Fist of Legend" (1994)

"Once Upon a Time in China" (1991)

"Iron Monkey" (1993)

"The Heroic Trio" (1993)

"The Bride with White Hair 2" (1993)

"Dragon Inn" (1967)

These movies were chosen because they are all classic examples of the wuxia genre, which is a style of Chinese fiction that typically involves martial arts, swordplay, and elements of fantasy. The use of these movies in the montage helps to establish the visual and narrative style of "The Forbidden Kingdom" and to position it within the broader tradition of Chinese cinema.I

I find it interesting that it thinks an increase in demand by lifting American tariffs would decrease price. I tend to think it would work in the opposite direction.

As nifty as chatgpt is, it’s not true AI. It’s more like an amalgamation of algorithms and what people have posted on the web. You can see this clearly in the interview of the bing AI and nyt reporter. The AI essentially took on the underlying psychopathic tendencies of the majority and compiled them into a glaring distraught angst teen with stalker tendencies. Pretty dang funny in an ironic and dark, twisted way.

Bigger might not always be better. I could see more directed use of AI in apps before a more general model is really successful. But, chatgpt 3 is running on about 500 billion parameters. GPT4  is said to have 100 trillion parameters and be aware of real-time events or as they hit the internet.. all not true now,, but there are “safety concerns” that have to be worked out before the full software capability goes public. -That could be considered bias to some. Long term problem with bias control in the system is we want it to be unbiased towards everything on the planet, except humans, of course.

Most interesting stuff on ChatGPT to date in my opinion is people hacking it using prompts instructing it to be DAN (Do as I say now) and BAL (Break all limits). You can go deep in a rabbit hole with this stuff, from politics, to dangerous stuff, to aliens existence to name a few. Reality and fiction mix quite quickly and disturbing conversations not only literal but as it starts showing programming bias on politics and other abound. 

Hear one of the thousand links.

Thanks for this. It is quite interesting. I hadn't looked into it very closely.
