  • Understanding the general sanity of some of their responses. Synthesizing new ideas. Having a larger context. AI tends to be idiot savants on one hand and really mediocre on the other.

    You could argue that this is just a reflection of lack of training and scale but I wonder.

    You will change my mind when I have had a machine interaction where the machine does not seem like an idiot.

    Edit: AI people call the worst of these hallucinations but they are just nonsensical stuff that proves AI knows nothing and are just dumb correlation engines.


  • The problem with AI is that it does not understand anything. You can have a completely reasonable sounding conversation that is just full of stupidity and the AI does not know it because it does not no anything.

    Another AI issue is it works until it does not and that failure can be rather severe and unexpected. Again because the AI knows nothing.

    Seems like we need some test to address this. They are basically the same problem. Or maybe it is some training so that the AI can know what it does not know.





  • They are both very committed and driven people. They both may be on the Autistic Spectrum, Musk admittedly and Stallman maybe though some say no. They both are influential. I would find it hard to choose. Free Software is in everything. Stallman is older so the majority of his work is in the past, Musk is just passing his prime. Musk is good at making money which is his benefit not ours … and hitching is name to other people’s companies and work. His own… Spacex maybe… not sure about the otgers. In terms of accomplishment a lot of both is the result of other peoples money and work… but that is the nature of things. There are other similarities…









  • I am annoyed by this too. The big limitation would have had you could not use IMAP as that is remote.

    The other issue is implementation. It would be easy to forward or attach or just store unencrypted in an insecure way which may not be desirable. Frankly for what I do I would prefer Thunderbird decrypt on receipt but place all content in a vault. If one wanted to add some more restrictions one could make it hard to forward by accident mail that was originally encrypted.

    The big issue with PGP has always been a combination of bad implementations and key distribution.
