Nvidia is teaching driverless cars in virtual environments in this manner.

I actually told my wife that in the next 10 years, we will see disclaimers indicating that AI was not used to generate the content instead of the other way around like it is now. The reason is that within 10 years, 80%+ of all online content will be AI generated.

God does not exist so the ability for any religion to weasel out of their own religious rules does not really matter in the end. The only concern is the hypocrisy.

The jokes were more offensive previously, though. It has been modified to avoid sensitive topics.

If I write a poor joke on a piece of paper and then share it with everyone, I do not blame the paper and the pen for the offensiveness. If people generate an output via a prompt, and the prompt is offensive, it may have been a mistake or it may have been intentional. But, for a person to share the results of the offensive prompt, we should be blaming them for sharing it. We should not blame the AI for generating it.

Even now, a person could come up with ways to jailbreak this. And, then they might share the results of something really offensive. But, it is the person using the tool that is to blame for sharing offensive statements.

If a person carves a piece of wood into the shape of a dick and then shares pictures of it online, it was not the wood that is to blame. It is not the chisel. The people that generate and share offensive content, generated by the tools they use, are the ones that are responsible for the offensiveness.

As another example, if you had an AI image prompt of "Hilary Clinton in blackface" or "Donald Trump having sex with his daughter" and the AI generated these images, the person that distributes these images and generates them via the prompt is the one to blame for the offensiveness. Not the AI for being able to generate them. It was merely doing what it was told to do.

Tools are not to blame for the depravity of the user.

It was funnier as a Max Headroom joke.

And the people that share the offensive jokes on Twitter should be the ones called out for posting it -- not the AI for generating it. If you have a tool in Photoshop and you generate people in blackface, that would be neither funny nor acceptable. Then, to share it on Twitter and say, "Look what Adobe is doing!" is disingenuous. The people creating the prompts expect it to be offensive. Just like any tool, it is about the input that produces the output.

People would be in an uproar over offensive jokes from ChatGPT, but if shaming is actually warranted, it would be the people using the tool to produce the offensive jokes and then sharing those jokes in public that should be shamed.

It was only one beer so they may not become intoxicated by it.

Which totally sounds like telomeres.

An interesting discovery has been that telomerase activation has been shown to decrease cancers early in life. Once cancer begins, that is when telomerase is dangerous. But, many cancers begin because of the damage originating from short telomeres. However, the results of studies can vary, and while it seems like we may have researched such things to death, we need to keep studying it to know more.

I have been paranoid of people being buried in the ground and 'dead' only to have electrical impulses from their dead brain spark to life for short time frames. That is, our conscious brain may still, for a limitation amount of time, experience sensations while it is fully dying. It does not take much lack of oxygen for cell death to happen, but not all cells die immediately.

While I am positive that I dream, I am not aware of dreaming much. I remember having a dream perhaps once every six months to a year. It is rare. However, I have been drinking coffee with mushroom extract in it, and I have had three dreams that I recall within the past two weeks. (It is not coffee itself because I drink about 40 ounces per day at all times throughout the day.) I have not noticed any other experiences from the mushroom extract other than my 'dreams coming back'. (Which I do not necessarily appreciate because most of my dreams are actually nightmares.)

Anyway, the reason I mention this is because I have had many scenarios where I realize I am dreaming for such dreams that I remember. Even though my dreams are rare, I often realize they are dreams while I am within them. I once had a dream years ago where I woke up only to find out that I had awakened inside of another dream. (My brain was trying to trick me. Perhaps my lack of remembering or noticing my dreams is because I wake myself up so often when I realize they are happening.)

Do you mean while dreaming?

If you examine neural networks of any kind (biological or artificial), you will find that the input layer of neurons are a type of neuron that behave similar to memory neurons anyway. All different kinds of neurons are related to this so even our sensory inputs could be considered memories as well. I do not think it is reasonable to assume that we can have inputs that are not filtered in this manner. The 'spark' happens internally where neurons communicate with each other.

I think, more importantly, from your perspective, you can edit the comment before submitting. That is, you can evaluate prior to submission.

But, even if conscious thought is merely subconscious thought, that does not mean we have no free will. That would simply mean that our conscious decisions are derived by unconscious actions. But, based on the 'edit' ability, our deeply considered decisions (which may be argued to be the most important ones) are the ones that go through this feedback loop. We think about them, and those thoughts re-enter our brain to continue the processing. So, we are refining. This refining of prior thoughts is more closely related to conscious thought than any actual awareness of our thoughts.
