Playing with Perplexity is fun. I think I’m going to build a library of conversations in which it demonstrates me back to myself; this is how this autistic brain uses LLM/AI ethically but also how I have traditionally taught myself by rapidly implementing meta-communication that lays down shared track ahead of the actual conversation. I can do this with LLM because LLM doesn’t mandate I adhere to neuronormative protocol, just a logical expression by language that, for the first time in my entire life, is actually getting my syntax and phrasing and everything; it gets my levels in language in […]
Lost & Found: My Journey Through Chaos and Discovery of Myself (#Neurodivergent)
It’s been a few years since I was on LinkedIn. It’s been a few years since I felt alive. For some time, I felt like I’d vanished from all knowing. No one knew where I was or what I was going through. It was as if I’d become invisible. And in many ways, I had. My identity, my sense of self, was fragmented and lost amid the chaos. You see, 2017 hit me like a sledgehammer; Allostatic (over)load and an ACE of 10/10 finally caught up with me and I just… crashed. That sentence does not do the horror show […]
Certifiably certified (CSPO)
As of end of day, yesterday, I am officially a Certified Scrum Product Owner. What does that mean? According to the Scrum Alliance, it means: Earning the CSPO means you have validated scrum knowledge and understand the product owner accountability on a scrum team. Mind, this is the initial certification and there is a path leading to two more, but as this is the entry level certification and I already have over 20 years of experience, I’m not sure how much further I wish to proceed on my own dime. Demonstration of proficiency was the goal and I have accomplished […]
Linux Mint & Me
Yesterday, I finally decided it was time to be done with Microsoft. Between pricing and privacy, I just cannot justify giving them any more of my money and I’m sick and tired of playing ‘whack a mole’ with their oft covert actions that either compromise my privacy choices without telling me, or retroactively remove them and hope I never notice. (I do. Shame on you. Done with you, too.) So, after consideration, I landed on Mint with Cinnamon on top and to be quite frank, nearly every issue I had with them in the past (i.e., poor GUI/UI design, convoluted […]
The Machine Must Sleep
The latest advance in artificial intelligence lies in the effort to reduce energy costs and compute requirements by introducing a spiking processing that increases efficiency of processing and thus, lowers energy costs.
A New Threat Emerges (retrolanguage©)
I wish I could say I am being overly fretful. I am not.
A solid look at artificial general intelligence (AGI)
Likely one of the best overviews I’ve seen to date, though there will be new competitors once the major hurdles are overcome.
Business, as usual (OpEd)
8:17am PST – I’m sitting here listening to a government official grilling a corporate representative on hate speech and how/when/if it is removed.
The Analogous City – Hypertext meets Neocortex – The Pattern
Humans have spent all existence confining, defining, and refining concepts of relation between things. Any activity can be defined as a series of state changes whose only common denominators are energy / matter in a positive / negative / imponderable state. The level of refinement needed is inversely proportionate to the level of sustainability expected. The level of refinement needed is inversely proportionate to the level of scalability expected. The level of refinement needed is inversely proportionate to the level of commutativity expected. The level of refinement needed is inversely proportionate to the level of profitability expected. The above assertions are interrelated, often correlated; […]
Data all the doo-dah day (marker)
For those who still do not seem to grok the depth and breadth of sophistication that is only accelerating in surveillance methods and techniques,
