MrAdams – are you the guy with a facile enough bit of grey matter to develop the one button install script for the current personal IA?
In my introduction I added in a video for a security application of the IA.
My problem after a brain bump is that I have to relearn anything I want to do. To simply armor up my Windows box I have to step through a three hour video which takes a lot longer than the three hours. I have to relearn linux command line to even engage the ‘fringe’ community on secure IRC. This is from a guy who was distro dancing all the time from the plethora of ‘I made it work this way’ coders and hackers. I put M68K on my Amiga all the way to Xwindows and then promptly deleted it because it caused brain death on my wonderbox.
jabowery – did you ever encounter the book Digital Darkage? Lossless storage and ACCESS to all of human knowledge should be a huge priority especially as compute power rises by hook and by crook with cloud networking and like the SETI and Folding at Home efforts. I am constantly accessing the Wayback Machine.
One of my worries is that with sufficient power and the most advanced ai an NGO or the Government itself could reasonably alter all public facing data word at a time. Considering how the pandemic allowed for many many definitions to be rewritten to conform with the narrative while abandoning best practices for an experiment in gene transfection into the very teeth of a virus that showed incredible adaptability.
Having a personal assistant with its own database(s) would cut through the fog of war and ‘supposed’ disinformation.
Hey Stikfyr ever seen these?

Hi Brian, I thought a reply to one of your posts directly would make certain you ‘hear’ my thanks for your efforts whether here, or in general or just on twitter (via nitter).
What would be really nice is a one button installation from download to the prompt. That should be one of those things that comes with membership. Everything past that should be part of your curriculum and course work. I’ve seen amazing solutions and collaborative things come from forums.
I am excited for the start of this adventure you’ve enabled that your assistants hinted at.
While I would like to do some Prompt Engineering I doubt whether I would become a professional. I don’t think that the pace of acceleration will in any way resemble the original process of acquiring a computer, getting it running and being able to print things out then connect via modem to a BBS/ISP (learning the AT codes to make it do so) vs the time between a workable personal model of IA being installed via one button being accomplished and hundreds of thousands of experiments happening each and every day. All I have to do is wait for a ‘few seconds’ and my ride will come by fully instantiated and ready to use, I decided a long time ago that I am a tool user not a builder/developer/creator.
Well dogg’on that will teach me to skip an email day. Look at all the introductions. Purposeful communities, I am a member of Coffee with Scott Adams website on locals/rumble. $7 bucks makes for a robust filter for the community that follows his daily streams on persuasion and how to think about the news narrative using mainstream legacy media as the lowest common point of connection. (he’s the Dilbert guy)
I also belonged to NetDynam for a couple of decades having stumbled into that following a thought leader of my acquaintance thinking it was a cutting edge email list on the dynamics of the nascent interwebs we inhabit now. Not. It was a human slant on group interaction and formation arising from Bion et al.
I started off in my 30’s with a 1200 baud modem, gifted to me when I demonstrated to an 8 bit type that my 16/32 bit Amiga actually did multitask and was not time slicing as he was arguing before his jaw hit the desk.
I have also been reading science fiction in copious amounts since my teens, I’m retired now. From a completely non computer related field.
I really got a thrill watching Brian’s interview with Jordan Peterson whom I have been aware of since he showed up on the podcast/streaming ‘scene’. Best advertisement I have seen for multiplex and Brian’s efforts.
I cite Brian’s Intelligence Amplifier far and wide to make my points on ai simply being ‘expert’ systems as outgrowth of IRC chat bots. My opinion is now being shifted rather markedly with the latest offerings and writings about the current and advancing state of the art. Wrenched, actually, by the collision of my understandings, biases, beliefs and observations with the emergent reality(ies). I can feel the cognitive dissonance of knowing how LISP failed, how programs work and the massive flux of many many minds pushing the envelope with the tools that are emerging.
Like many I have downloaded the archives from github but have yet to focus enough effort to crank it up and run it. I lack the drive I once had to be in the fray on the cutting edge of things. And it represents an actual hard problem to me. I too want a one button install. If ChAtgPt® can do stuff how hard is it for a front runner/ground breaker to do a super prompt and then add in detail like steps to follow all bundled in a script?
My desire is for a mini assistant to incorporate my 40Gb of personal writings and collected texts into a sounding board. 39 years of it. At my finger tips so I can talk to myself and remember what has been said over the years. Sound familiar? lol
Good to see all of you here and I love to talk.
(a slightly technical take you might have missed)
