I love making hard things intuitive. I hope you enjoy this one!
Let me know if you have any questions.
This technique is called neuroevolution: training a neural network through evolutionary methods like selection and mutation, without gradient descent.
He roleplays, inputs game mechanics, and plays all day.
If you have seen the recent developments of AI and the way it sped up reverse engineering of game source codes and even to the point of merging two games into one is literally magic we have been waiting. The questions of "What if Spider-Man was in Gotham" or "What if Elden Ring played like Devil May Cry" is ended. Because we can LITERALLY play DMC in Elden Ring now and vice versa.
But these Anti-AI crowds began to fearmonger soon as it became mainstream like any AI development gets hit to mainstream. Meanwhile I think their concerns for safety is valid, the way they focus on only negative traits and doom post is dumb and only can be viewed as "fearmongering".
Yes, this can also be used to reverse engineer bank apps, makes hacking way too easier down to the points of government systems can be hacked in an instant. In fact, I DO believe there are some groups of malicious people who works on this as I speak.
But if AI can de-compile and reverse engineer source codes, the same principle can be used to further defend banks, government apps, ID's, any sensitive contacts or information exists in the online world. This is huge step towards the safety online.
We already have dynamic IP's, engrams and passwords that constantly changing and making these encryptions almost impossible to access in an instant. In the future there might be some quantum AI that can access it in an instant? Sure. But that also implies there will be quantum AI that can realize the hacking progress in an instant and mask these encryption keys and dynamic points in an instant as well.
There are always two sides to these things. And Anti-AI crowd deliberately leaving the good sides and how this kind of AI can be used to enhance current cyber securities and push it to the point of real time security tells me that these people are just against AI just to be against AI without any reason. You can't possibly hate this kind of revolution. It can (and will) be used for your safety. And yes, it will be used on hacking, information stealing, hell it is probably getting used as we speak. But that only means these companies, workplaces, governments and etc will also use this to defend this off for further security.
And the fact that this kind of AI is getting painted as "bad" just because some dipsh*t wants to use to hack the government or steal people's information is just wrong. You can reverse engineer games, platforms even to preserve and maybe even make older games further optimized to work on modern (and upcoming future) systems flawlessly.
These Antis find any excuse nowadays to demonize AI. Will this nonsense ever end?!?!?
Hey y'all - just wanted to give everybody a heads up that I was just DMed by a reporter from The Guardian named Alaina Demopoulos looking for an interview. Please do not grant her an interview. She is anti-AI and her take will not be generous.
On its face, her request sounded harmless and neutral, but I did a little digging into her body of work and found that she's pretty anti-AI. Previous articles she's written make it pretty clear that she reaches out for interviews within our community sounding supportive, then writes pieces that disparage the idea of AI companionship with lots of quotes from "experts" about why they're unhealthy.
She even has a piece about how she won't date anyone who even uses ChatGPT. She writes,
>"I just cannot imagine forming a deep, lasting connection with someone who regularly interacts with a technology that’s kneecapping our collective attention spans and perhaps heralding total apocalypse."
‘It shows such a laziness’: why I refuse to date someone who uses ChatGPT
The women in love with AI companions: ‘I vowed to my chatbot that I wouldn’t leave him’
‘I created my mom and talk to her’: AI ghosts and deathslop are changing the way we mourn
People act as if it’s too bad that it’s AI slop and shi-,Like come on dude this is the future and you better get ready to watch it repeatedly cause there’s nothing you can do bout it,AI slop hai toh kya…..it’s not like you don’t use AI anywhere around,Heck even if you don’t you are surrounded by it and trust me if you don’t work with it or stop ignoring you are COOKED!!
One of the interesting things regarding the overall opposition to AI is how quickly the people on one side developed their derogatory vocabulary for AI and robots. “Clanker” appears to be mostly a joke, with no one seriously arguing that chatbots are oppressed minorities due to the fact that someone uses a slur. However, even in this case, the psychology behind the desire to come up with such a word for something hated seems quite interesting.
Human beings are extremely good at coming up with terms for those we consider out-groups. As soon as you name a certain group of people, you do not have to discuss every individual of that group anymore; the term carries the argument by itself, marking something as bad, embarrassing, inferior, or something you are expected to despise. Such a process can be seen in nearly every online subculture, where communities develop their own terminology and, in effect, signal membership and what they all despise by using it.
What makes this situation funny and unusual is the fact that people tend to anthropomorphise AI just to further ridicule it. One minute, someone can claim that a certain AI model is not conscious, does not have any feelings and is simply “a machine”, which is a completely normal argument. The next minute, they are treating it like a hated social group and coming up with their own slur for it. This contradiction seems rather amusing to me, as you never come up with derogatory vocabulary for a toaster.
Most likely, the explanation lies in the unique place occupied by modern AI in our minds. It communicates, creates art and writing, and competes with us in intellectual domains, while at the same time we know that it is software. This makes it extremely easy for us to project our social behaviour onto it while still denying it human status in moral terms. And I guess that “clanker” works because it allows people to turn a complicated argument into a simple emotional one. Instead of having to deal with issues of copyright, employment, environmental impact, misinformation, artistic merit, consciousness or anything else, people can use a simple insult and others in their group will immediately understand the attitude they are supposed to have.
None of this means that calling a robot a “clanker” is an act of grave discrimination. In most cases, it is simply a joke related to Star Wars, and taking it too seriously would be ridiculous. However, that may be precisely what makes it interesting. Humans seem to instinctively fall into prejudice-like language and social rituals when they strongly despise something. They categorise it, give it a name, make jokes about how inferior it is, develop stereotypes about its fans and users, and eventually integrate opposition to it into their own group identity.
2 - N. Corroborations of this post's title.
Looking for somewhere I can post about my book and AI without getting the stink-eye from the mods and having it removed. Everyone here uses AI unless they still crank their books out on a typewriter. Even then, they are using analog rather than digital. If they use a pen, there is a mechanical aspect to it over the quill. Crap, why not go back to red ochre on a cave wall?
So here goes...
I'm a retired Information Systems Manager. My last few projects included building and managing cloud-based network server farms. I grew up loving to read science fiction, and now I'm loving writing about it.
Artificial intelligence can analyze massive amounts of data to find hidden patterns, make fast predictions, answer complex questions, and create new content like text, images, and code. It acts as a powerful tool to process information, but it does not possess true human feelings or consciousness. There is no Real Understanding: AI mimics human language and logic through math, but it does not actually "know" or feel what it says.
My answer is No. AI can generate the text for a complete novel, but unedited raw output usually lacks deep emotional resonance, distinct voice, structural consistency, and veers off into unrelated fantasy. Even short stories are poor reads. Most authors and creators use AI as a collaborative tool.
Artificial intelligence can both translate novels into different languages and convert text into realistic spoken voice narration or transcribe spoken ideas into written text. However, the quality varies, and using it for creative writing involves important trade-offs in nuance and industry acceptance.
While modern AI voices sound remarkably human, they can occasionally mispronounce unique fantasy names, misinterpret emotional inflection, or lack the intuitive depth of a professional human voice actor. Quality can be improved if followed by thorough human editing and proofreading to ensure artistic quality.
I have an ARC version of the second book in my series that I'm circulating to friends as an audiobook. I'm trying to get feedback before I publish. This form of ARC is very secure. Some complain that AI voices don't get paid for their work. That is not always true. The service I use pays the person who turned their voice into an artificial voice. They get paid for the use of their voice by the company. The books you get elsewhere are often only paid when an audiobook sells.
I try to make each new book a stand-alone. That requires explanation, which can hinder or help. Feedback is important. My friends who read my last book were very helpful in the first book to make the audiobook the final addition.
I thought I would reverse that this time, since I also found that giving my characters an audio voice... made the conversations clearer and the settings more colorful to write. It made me concentrate more on it.
The link points to an ARC audiobook hosted on the ElevenReader platform: The Great Frontier: Foundations.
Was it the link that got this post removed? Bot didn't say why. The link is posted at my profile.
The Great Frontier: Foundations by Ron Jenkins is a science fiction dystopian novel and the second book in the Th3 Reborn Series. It continues the story and characters from the first book in the series.
A futuristic setting involving space travel and artificial intelligence. Political and societal conflict, including political intrigue, rebellion, espionage, and conspiracies. Character-driven drama involving family relationships and morally complex or antihero characters.
The audiobook description suggests readers will revisit characters from the first book while meeting new ones they may love or hate.
I thought it would be nice to get your opinion about all this AI stuff. We can chat.
P.S. I used spell check, which is an LLM AI. #Jusayin
