NEW
I went looking for more interesting news. This post is an experiment. A.I. is doing the research and structuring the information. I’m trying to keep it focused.
There are videos posted by the Lab and third-parties that get very little notice by the basic search engines. Also ‘X’ does not seems a favorite of Google or Bing. But much of the juicy news is in those sources. I don’t have time to make it to all those meetings nor watch all those videos. So… A.I. It researches it all in less than 5 minutes.
I know many are concerned about AI hallucinating. I got burned earlier this year. But as I learn, I have realized ‘machines’ do not hallucinate. But AI has been taught to speculate, guess, theorize, and unless told to do otherwise, make up answers. Often doing whatever is easy. Do we have lazy machines now?
Humans hallucinate. You cannot tell them to stop. They can’t. But you can prompt AI to NOT speculate, guess, theorize, nor make up answers. It works. So, the information appearing here should be solid. See what you think. – Nal
