Hahaha true. Subjected to so much second hand smoke we may as well have been smoking lol. It's kind of funny looking back, how common smoking inside was. My dad even has a picture of himself in the hospital with a cast since he broke his arm, and in his other hand he had a lit cigarette, inside the hospital!
More correct than you realize, good chance many of us will develop lung cancer from our parents/those around us smoking with us in the room.

Remember how restaurants would have half of the dining hall portioned off for smoking? I would go places as a kid with asthma & just sit there hacking it up lol.

Lol yeah, we had a Tim Horton's that actually had a glass wall to contain the smoke, and all you could see was a big haze in there, but most places didn't enclose it, so it's like, what's the point lol. The donuts always tasted like cigarette too.

Yeah, if you didn't grow up in a smoking home, it was a horror show that you didn't realize you were in until you left. The yellow keyboards, the off-white walls, ceilings, clothes. Inability to smell or taste anything. Burn marks in the car roof and door frame from missed attempts to throw lit paper out at highway speeds...

Meanwhile, back at the AI...



Greater things??? What could be bigger than ChatGPT?
This would seem to be the right question.


Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers wrote a letter to the board of directors warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The project is further rumored to be called "Q*", or Q-star.

I really hope it's unrelated to Q-anon. 🤢

Waiting for AI to be able to mimic someone's personality by reading their txt msgs and social media postings so when they die, you can still talk to them.
ie: parents, grandparents

Already exists! 3 options:

1. Reading text (audiobooks, messages, etc.)
2. Recording answers to questions
3. Doing Q&A as a chatbot

StoryFile is a neat service where someone can record answers to questions. William Shatner did nearly 600 questions:


It's called "grief tech":


They even have a service that makes the answers conversational using AI:


In its current form, HereAfter AI’s technology is tightly based on retrieving things that people have recorded, but in the future, it hopes to utilise a large language model like ChatGPT to enhance its conversational abilities - with the caveat that it remains restricted to the information given.

"It wouldn’t be able to talk as freely about as many things, but it would also be constrained in its knowledge so it’s not randomly sourcing information to who knows who on the Internet".

Weird, but cool!

That would be kind of freaky, but I could actually see people being into that. Give them a sense that the person still is around.

Kinda like when you get to talk to dead people in dreams, for that moment it really feels like you're with them.

Imagine this:

1. Initial recording of the person (photos, videos, questions answered for data)
2. AI interface (live Q&A chatbot using recorded data)
3. Hologram chat interface (Google, Logitech, etc. have these) to get the presence aspect

Google's version: (Project Starline)


Logitech's version: (Project Ghost)

My Dad died when I was 10. I could see something like the being cool to get to "experience" a conversation with him as an adult. Not really for grief, but as a way of filling in blanks. For someone like my mom that I've known well into adulthood, I think I'd prefer just keeping my memories "pure."

A few years ago (right before COVID actually), I went through all of our old home videos looking for videos of him and just found a few really short clips, which really upset me. So at the beginning of COVID I made a point to film my mom and in laws just encase.

Yea the rumors seem to indicate AGI.

Also, the breakthrough might be centered around the concept of the AI creating its own training data and that sort of sent things screaming to the sky.

Recall about the singularity, the core concept is that when the AI reaches a maturity where it's able to improve on its own code it's an exponential growth factor that takes off?
It sort of smells a bit like it, doesnt it?

edit: And with AGI... well, we're all f'ed.

Not a hard problem to solve!
There's just one problem. Suppose the next generation of humans becomes entirely dependent on AGI. They stop learning about basic stuff, like electronics, the electric grid, power generation. Everything we take for granted. They just build it or even tell the AGI to build robots that in turn build all that infrastructure. Once the AGI has locked humans into a permanent dependent state like that, there's no telling what it might do. Pulling the plug would mean losing all the amenities and comforts of life which in future, could include breathable air and drinkable water because those can no longer be used without filtration that is controlled by AGI.

We already have that, we just don't acknowledge it. There's entire sectors of industry dependent on the arcane knowledge of a few individuals, and entire supply chains that depend on each other for functionality, where nobody has all the manufacturing knowledge of the entire chain. We're already dependent on a system we don't really have insight into, we just trust that things will keep on rolling. I don't have any further concern over AGI controlling things than I do with humans controlling them.

Windows Terminal now has AI chat:




Currently, it exclusively supports Azure's OpenAI service, so you need to provide an endpoint & key, so you have to create & deploy an OpenAI Service resource (consumption-based pricing). Note that they are also open-sourcing it:


Download here:


Canary is their nightly release & can be installed concurrent with the stable & preview Terminal releases, so you can mess around with it without affecting system functionality:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-windows-terminal-canary/

Terminal in general is pretty nice these days & is now the default launcher for all things command prompt & whatnot:


Command Prompt, Powershell, etc. are all in Terminal instances as of Win11 22H2:


Bit of history;


Basic introduction guide to Terminal itself:


Also, Copilot preview is also available for Windows 10 users:


I'm betting Microsoft is hoping that AI chat will overtake Google for searching, as it makes things more conversational & more tailored to what you're looking for. Regardless of that...pretty cool to have an open-source Terminal Chat with an all-inclusive Windows Terminal (CMD prompt, Powershell, etc.) that launches by default as of Win11 22H2! Same deal with WSL2:


Being able to do Linux with an integrated VM is pretty neat:


The open-source nerds are slowing taking over Microsoft, haha! I'd love to see this ported into something like FreeDOS, haha! They already have the chatGPT-shell-cli shell script for Linux: (which includes GPT-4 support!)


Windows Terminal also supports bash via WSL FYI. So there are plenty of neat options to play with for us keyboard warriors!!
