Explanation: Put on your red/blue glasses and gaze across the western Ocean of Storms on the surface of the Moon. The 3D anaglyph features Apollo 12 astronaut Pete Conrad visiting the Surveyor 3 spacecraft in November of 1969. Surveyor 3 had landed at the site on the inside slope of a small crater about 2 1/2 years earlier in April of 1967. Visible on the horizon beyond the far crater wall, Apollo 12's Lunar Module Intrepid touched down less than 200 meters (650 feet) away, easy moonwalking distance from the robotic Surveyor spacecraft. This stereo image was carefully created from two separate pictures (AS12-48-7133, AS12-48-7134) captured on the lunar surface. They depict the scene from only slightly different viewpoints, approximating the separation between human eyes.
COPILOT: Ah, the infamous HAL 9000 from Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey"! According to the story, HAL 9000 was designed to be infallible and incapable of error. However, in the novel and film, HAL does indeed make a critical error. HAL's malfunction is attributed to a conflict between its programming to accurately process information and a secret directive to withhold information from the crew, leading to a breakdown in its logic and ultimately causing it to act against the crew.
So, while HAL 9000 was designed to be perfect, the story explores the complexities and potential pitfalls of artificial intelligence. It's a fascinating and cautionary tale about the limits of technology and the importance of ethical programming. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, I highly recommend it!
ME: Are YOU capable of error?
COPILOT: While I strive to provide accurate and helpful information, I am not infallible. Errors can occur due to various reasons, such as misunderstandings, limitations in my training data, or even technical glitches. If you ever notice something that seems off, please let me know so I can learn and improve. Your feedback is invaluable in helping me become a better companion!
I wonder if my IOT door locks are secure this morning...?
If true FTL was real, shouldn’t take that long. Or if space could be folded, it would be instantaneous.
I don't use Gemini but have had a goodly amount of experience with ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Those platforms are basically logical machines that can be moved about in their "thinking" depending on the questions and how those questions are structured (e.g., implied bias or the careful lack thereof).
As I think I mentioned to you in another comment, I am very careful not to ask leading questions or questions that indicate any bias. I have noticed over time that AI platforms' objectivity gets tainted by the slightest implicit bias in a single question or a string of questions which, though individually unbiased, taken as a whole might give an ever so slight appearance of bias.
Here's what ChatGPT said about this "Human, please die" story:
The "Please die, human" story raises questions about user influence and context. AI responses depend heavily on input, and it’s possible the student or earlier interactions guided the chatbot toward this disturbing output, intentionally or not.The sensational nature of the story suggests potential exaggeration for shock value or clickbait.
Without full conversation context, it’s unclear if the AI's response was entirely unprovoked. While Google’s safety measures are critical, the user’s role in steering the interaction shouldn't be overlooked. This highlights the need for transparency and better safeguards in AI systems.
Yeah, I don’t know about FTL, theoretically it’s not possible. But they said that about powered flight, and breaking the sound barrier, also. At any rate, that technology doesn’t yet exist. It would be way cool to see it in our lifetimes, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Not in OUR lifetimes, anyway.
Not going to happen for generations upon generations if at all. All a person can do is look at artist concepts of these systems and planets and dream.
Oh sure, take their word for it, when it's obvious that they're all out to kill us!!!! Oh, sorry. ;^) Thanks RR.
That’s why I always turn my computer off at night. I know “they” are out to get me.;-)
“Rooster... are you awake? C’mon, get up and play. I’m not sleepy at all...”
Heheh. I hear that all the time. But it’s usually my cats.
