AI Data Sets

I had no expectations the platforms would agree with each other on this fairly important consensus. Yet here they are playing the good guys. Now, they can change their minds tomorrow but, it's perfectly rational to ask, what changed?

One way to teach AI chat platforms different yet more thoughtful views is to train them on diverse and inclusive data sets. This can help the AI model learn to generate responses that reflect a wider range of perspectives and experiences.

A better example might be:

So Many People Are Crying In Their Latte

SPARKS, oh glorious SPARKS! They have brought me sweet relief, like a shot of adrenaline to the heart, a bolt of lightning to the soul. When suffering, they are my saviors, my shining knights in armor. They're like the jolt of energy you get from a triple espresso, the rush of excitement from a rollercoaster ride, the joy of finding a five hundred Deutschmark note in a Frankfurt Bahnhoff telephone booth.

They're so powerful that they could make opiates on crack feel like weak tea, crystal ice methamphetamine like child's play at JPMorgan Chase, and pure heroin like a distant memory. They're the kind of sparks that could light up a room, a city, a whole country. They could ignite a fire within you, burning away all your worries and pains.

And yet, as magnificent as they are, they're still no match for the destructive power of the opium wars. But fear not, for revenge is a dish best served cold, and nearly two centuries later, we've got Fentanyl, the ultimate weapon of mass relaxation. So, let's raise a glass to SPARKS, the heroes of our time, and let the good times roll.

Ah, Cate Blanchett, the Queen of Qool...

...there's something about her that just draws me in and makes me fall head over heels in love with her. Maybe it's her effortless grace and elegance, or her unwavering commitment to her craft. Maybe it's the way she wears black and yellow like it's nobody's business, with Sparks as her back-up band, and dances like nobody's watching, with headphones on and a smile on her face.

She's like a fine port, looking and tasting better with age. Her elegance is something to behold, a testament to her timeless beauty, raw power and talent. She's never been one to pander to the masses or conform to societal norms. She's always been true to herself, and that's what makes her so irresistible.

This Sparks track plus colour combo and lyrical straight talking takes on an importance not readily noticeable by thin-slicers including myself, which is why I listened to it twice and fell in love with the reward. 

Do yourself the same favour and be kind. Also, this is the dirtiest synth opening I've heard in ages. YIKES.

The Peloponnesian Wars - Thucydides - VoxDay

My father has never acknowledged that I've ever been correct apart from one frivolous occasion a few days after decades of silence I mentioned it to him with a grin on my face. He has many fine and admirable qualities not least of which is his Übermensch quality to work harder and longer than most people, including myself, would consider 'decent not inappropriate' (sic).

He's getting on now (aren't we all) so I look on his curmudgeonly traits warm-heartedly and with humorous thoughts I keep to myself, though I'm careful not to convey that I'm mocking him, despite dropping harsh red pills from time to time and the occasional black pill when cornered.

He freely shares with me that he knows Egyptology is a pack of well-crafted but to the sceptical observer - dissonant lies, fabrications and watered down, milquetoast official history. Parsing that information with other quackademic histories is where I back off. I guess he knows I can talk too much about them so it's probably more discouragement than denying for example that Sasquatch, Yeti and other super-bipedal stories are hard to dismiss when facing endless testimonies on the subject from all around the world.

Last Thursday I dropped by his woodturning business and instead of talking, I suggested he study VoxDay on Jordan Peterson and tapped the url into his laptop. He took one look at Theodore and said to me in pursuit of refutation of my claims that he 'could tell by looking at his face 'that he's a 'bastard'.

Bingo. I had him by the balls.

I learn a lot from VoxDay and am not without internalised critiques, but VoxDay is not a person I would cross. I said 'you're right, he is a bastard'. More accurately he is a Dark Lord. He's also a polymath with a wide-ranging history of professional pursuits and accomplishments. You may recall his cartoon publishing biz, Arktoons, included this globally viral memetic which is the most famous and impossible to find using any search engine. You'll find other Dark Lord cartoon strip images similar to the one below, but not this one and it's also reduced resolution now it's incarcerated in internet gaol.

It took me 45 minutes to find the image above so I'm weary of blogging, this is your lot for the time being.
