The Bluestocking: the one where AI finally learns what a blackbird is (we hope)

[Magpiecomplex]

Welcome all, New Year (nearly), new thread!

Both!

Annoyingly I'd turned the heater off at 12.30 as transport was any time from 12.45 and I didn't want to be thinking did I turn the heater off? Has the house burnt down? All afternoon. So by 2pm I was wearing my coat and gloves in the living room!!

There nearly was tears but I managed to see the funny 🤔😐😑😶 side of it instead. I know they are crap, it was nice of them to prove me right. Once again!!

Good luck for Monday, Boily!

Hmmm, the foil will play havoc with the MRI I'd better eat them now!

Good idea, & very thoughtful of you.

I've just noticed the images are showing I'm made up entirely of Tunnocks!

Oh no Boiley, that's really, really bloody infuriating.

And Myrtle, what a fascinating load of info.

For my progress today, I have laughed my head off at Mark Zuckerberg's latest announcement which basically boils down to 'We will start actually working on banning actual illegal things and the TERFs were right'.

Mine are usually Amazon and Crocs based! Have you been googling Tom Cruise lately?

Honestly I should have known the apt was doomed the second the hospital send my apt reminder text to my next of kin instead of me on new years eve!

Yup. See, the AI can be accurate.

Or maybe it was the skill of the prompter. Perhaps I should come out of retirement & apply for one of those new jobs that will be created.

I've decided on Monday to use the new Gerbil Patient Transport. I mean... It can't be any worse than the current lot can it?

Not to sure about this current batch of tea cakes! They just taste... Wrong!

<Reads box lid >

😱

Other than a couple of spelling errors they look very efficient!

I'm glad to see there's a little pal accompanying you to hospital, Boily, and the two of you are sharing the universal beetle signal meaning 'You'll be all right, everything's fine, and I'm with you all the way' i.e. a raised right antenna

Apart from the fact they are transporting one of the lab creations whilst I try to catch their attention down on the road!

Pffft... A minor point, of very little consequence.

it's the beetle version of a raised eyebrow so It's more "erm something's not right here I'm NOT the patient! That one down there is!" 😃

We once had a similar issue with the prison service. Dh and I were witnesses in a court case involving criminal damage done to our neighbour’s car, by two men having a fight in the street. We turned up, the neighbour turned up, one defendant (who was on parole) turned up - but the second defendant was a no-show. He was on remand, and the prison service failed to produce him to court.

We all muttered under our breath, went home and waited for the new court date. It duly arrived, as did we, the neighbour and the on-parole defendant. And the other chap - still on remand - do you think he was here? You are absolutely right - the prison service failed to produce him again!!

The judge was not impressed, and refused to waste any more time with a third court date, so dismissed the case - we were called into the court to hear him explain this to us, and were asked if we wished to say anything - I said it was a travesty of justice, for our neighbour, and I didn’t see why they should suffer because the prison service couldn’t get one man to court. It vented my feelings, and the judge was apologetic, but it didn’t change his decision.

Wow Myrtle, you have hidden depths!

Thank you, Android. There are even more depths as this isn't even my proper job, it's just a side hustle.

I'm glad that the Bluestocking has enjoyed the explains. I have generalised and all systems have unexpected outcomes so it's not easy to predict how AI will be used. However the AI uses from the Bluestocking also help train the AI.

What has been mentioned and is important is who owns the AI models and what will they use it for.

Having Putin interfere with democratic processes using fake information and propoganda is a real issue, so in my book having women ask for ridiculous deadly serious images brings our perspective to a male-dominated field, and a healthy dose of British humour also contributes to the effort to make AI less tech-bro world domination focused.

Oh OK, 'scuse me for misinterpreting coleopteroid gestures in an over-sentimentalised way
I like the idea of a little pal tagging along to the hospital for support, though

It's alright, you weren't completely wrong, your version of the communication is actually a raised LEFT antenna.

Easy mistake to make!

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius that really wasn't fair on your neighbours! However I'm not surprised about the lack of transport from the prison. Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery springs to mind.

Never googled Tom Cruise, not now, not ever. Never been on a cruise.

The medic in the MRI must be very limber, peering over her shoulder like that.

I'm sorry you've been let down Beetle

Just watching the Apple AI news issues debacle. It's those bloody gerbils again.

.

Isn't that Boily's next of kin? You can tell they're related cos they've each got one antenna. Though Boily's got 4 legs & a very rodent face, so all bets are off. Maybe this IS the lab experiment. Sorry.
