- Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself.

…This is where the SAFE BLOOD Donation comes into play as an intermediary. We are working to ensure that our members can obtain unvaccinated blood, either fresh or canned, should they need it. In return, they make themselves available as blood donors. Anyone can become a member, whether vaccinated or not – but only those who have not been vaccinated can donate.
Setting up the necessary infrastructure is very time-consuming and we are working on it at full speed. We are already represented in 18 Western European countries, in the USA, Canada, Australia, Asia and various African countries.
We now have members in more than 80 states worldwide, 41 of them in the USA alone…

If you haven’t played around with it, try it. ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) heralds the end of the modern University and quite a lot of research. You simply go to the website, register and then use it on the website. It’s free and, at present, no adverts or anything. Jordan Peterson gives the rave. Google RIP. Teaching will have to return to competency training i.e. they will have to do what they teach. There goes most of the lecturers I’ve met.

Have you tested it JohnJJJ?
I’ve just watched the OpenAI and JP videos. It would have advantages in certain areas of research due to the speed with which it can locate and compile information and that would be good.
If the AI systems at this initial stage can produce complex assignments in a few minutes, is it really so wonderful? Is it not on the pathway to replacing human beings? We already have the digital technology being used to spy on us and make us less relevant.
So will this turn out to be for better or for worse?

Have you tested it JohnJJJ?
Yep. I get called in to teach occasionally at various Unis, (but I don’t last long). I can tell you that ChatGPT produces better assignment submission that 60% of the current students if it is just knowledge based. Certainly better than the ones they pay for. The lecturers, unless they are active in the field they are teaching ( very few are) will not know what to do. At first they relied on Turnitin to catch the cheats. Then they made it illegal to contract out assignments. This was just a dance.
My initial thoughts are that AI will produce a knowledge greyness – a regression to the mean – as it basically finds and concatenates knowledge based on past frequency.
As to the future, unknown, but there will be opportunities as ever for the small fish who swim around the whale.
Oh!………..did I write this or did I ask ChatGPT to write it?

JohnJJJ, thanks for that explanation.
Maybe I should try it for my Posts on this blog. It would save me a great deal of time in research, drafts, fact-checking, edits, more checking, updates and so on.
I just pick a topic, feed in my request and … voilà. It’s ready. Should be able to get a Post done in under five minutes. Watch out, blog readers, for my next Post. But will I have to reveal the truth? Or can I just pretend it was all my work?
Well now, here’s a better idea. JohnJJJ, since you have the experience with testing the AI, write a Post for the blog. It would make for an exciting discussion on the human vs the artificial intelligence output. 🙂

Yes, It might seem counterintuitive at first, but this is actually a consequence of the way that gravity works. The force of gravity decreases with distance, so an object that is farther away from a larger object will experience a weaker gravitational pull. In order to remain in orbit, an object must balance the inward force of gravity with the outward force of its own motion. If an object is farther from the larger object, it will experience a weaker gravitational pull, so it must move faster in order to maintain its orbit. This is why Europa, which is farther from Jupiter, is moving faster than Io, which is closer to Jupiter.

I am no expert, but ChatGPT can’t prove it is not lying i.e. that it is not a person imitating AI. A version of the Turing test. After all there is huge money investment in this. Microsoft just threw in a billion dollars – probably just to get rid of the annoying Google.
