So what? That goes for every movement. If you think there are universal definitions for social adjustments you're mistaken. Try to define a hippie. You will not get consensus on the text, but, like "woke", you probably know it when you see it.

When I hear "woke" I mentally swap in "new-fangled". And it works pretty much every time. I think the word is scarier for some folks when it describes change more than it does a wider scope of acceptance of others.

Woke AI education is now a thing :o

Look, I am a firm believer that the UK's computer teaching has been crap and this is extra crap, but what the fuck. Woke? What the fuck are you even talking about.

This just leaves more product for other countries that run by morons, probably reducing prices worldwide. This is why much of Africa had 5G wireless before the US did.

I've had... let's see... six iPhones. 3GS, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13. I reliably skip a major revision. And I would skip more than one, except that my mother gets my last gen. So when her phone needs battery service after being 4 generations back, I shop for a new one. But this time, rather than get a new one, I paid Apple a hundred bucks each to refresh the batteries in my 13 and her 11.

The 13 is a damned good phone, and there is not a single thing I would upgrade. No compelling reason exists. Thinner? Who cares? I carried the brick in the 90s. I've toted around flip phones, blackberries, pagers... this 13 is pretty much perfect.

I'll give it up when I drive over it, or LTE becomes a thing of the past.

Side note: Apple tech cracked my screen separating the shell. For my $100 I got a screen refresh too. :)

Do you?

Why not buy a fair phone then which is thicker and has a removable battery.

It most certainly does. I did say "adequately trained".

Citizens United.

'Nuff said.

It is a game changer, just not the way it's being used. The accellerating advances of robotics are almost all from the use of AI trained in specific tasks. ChatGPT couldn't operate a robot, but neither could the AI that runs Boston Robotics' Spot converse with you.

It's akin to the cops' Thin Blue Line, the judge is also a lawyer, he doesn't want to upset his coworkers.

If it fixed the leak? Why not? Especially if it enabled them to fix it faster and/or cheaper.

Just FYI, AI is in use in the construction trades already, most people aren't aware of that. For your example a draftsman can feed the plans of a building into an adequately trained system and map out the most efficient routing for plumbing and cabling. AI is operating excavators, scheduling contractors, driving inspection robots, recognizing bad concrete pours from drone images, and the list keeps growing. In China there are entire mines being worked by only robots driven by AI, and AI powers their "lights out" factories.

I don't see any issue with an AI creating legal citations, **IF** it's adequately trained specifically on legal documents with the guard rails in place to only use cases that actually exist and which actually pertain to the topic in question. Obviously ChatGPT and its kin are not up to that task, but they're trained in everything under the sun, and the old rule of GIGO goes into effect. A legal AI doesn't need to know anything about running an excavator, how to feed a goldfish, or the Kardashian sluts' sex lives, including crap like that into your training is going to produce garbage output.

You keep saying that, but I don't understand why you think so. LLMs have been in use for over a decade in robotics and they work very, very well. AI is why Atlas can do a backflip and Kuka robots can paint 10,000 quarter panels without a single drip, the system rechecks its work for errors before committing to the machine, and then checks again afterward to ensure that output was what was expected.

Kind of makes one wonder about the Libertardians' belief that their social construct would be maintained by incorruptible judges, honest lawyers and juries with the wisdom of Solomon.
