This relation is always kind of funny, I don't really speak any second
spoken languages.

The "medium" is working as "intended".  Not how I intended it, for sure ;p

Yeah I do that a lot, any advice?  I do try to to "attack the big
things", but it mostly comes out as more propaganda.

There are two parts.  Most of the code is a database, not of data, but
of general-purpose algorithms.  Automl is a process where those
algorithms are mutated over and over again to perform tasks better.
Then the mutations are stored to be reused.

In the example, it is referencing a previously-mutated organisation of
them (resnet34), and then it is downloading a clump of pictures that
have been labeled, and it is further adjusting their details in order
to correctly predict the labels on the photographs.  The process is
significantly sped up if the organisation are already tuned towards
visual information, so there's a lot of re-use.

The approach is very behind current research, but it works really well
so most people are using it instead of improving it.

So, after training, the database is discarded, and only the
organisation of algorithms is kept.  It's called a "model".  It is
still very big, but not as big as a database.  They can shrink them,
too, once they are already tuned.

I'm not sure why you're repeatedly referencing the word "intelligence"
or "learning".  It's notable that computers are horrific means of
torture, and that they can be programmed to improve at tasks, and that
they do not have any instincts to guide how or what they do.

You asked for evidence of being able to replace all jobs with
automation quickly.  That sounds like advertising, but would actually
take down economic reality as we know it, replacing it with something
entirely new and possibly an automated-slave-dictatorship run by the
craftiest upstart.  That link was just one of 3 I sent to you in my
reply.  It was the introductory one.

That link was just one of 3 I sent to you in my reply.  It was the
introductory one.

The approach to classify the pictures shows that it is easy to do
anything.  Say for example your job was to make everyone be quiet.
You could train a machine learning algorithm to do this, by feeding it
a massive dataset of automatable engagements with humans that result
in them speaking less, to train or tune it.  If it does poorly, update
the dataset, fine tune.

It looks like you could also track other people's algorithms by the
shapes of behavior the algorithms demonstrate (their fit).

I have this great nuclear bomb too!  It can power a whole city!  By
the way, did you know that the proof-of-work blockchain mining
technique could have been associated with a system that discards all
records, making it impossible to ever track billionaires manipulating
whole economies for personal gain?  Instead, we have a blockchain that
publicizes everything on it.  As technology advances, people can hide
by laundering their coins, but like most anonymity, laundering only
works if you control a small portion of the money that is moving, when
the whole economy is public.

Nah, it can use its sensors to learn the ~4 primary body language and
timing expressions you have that are unique and distinctive to you,
and open your email when you start considering email.

Yeah.  The phones are able to make guesses now.  Our enslaved nukes can guess.

Sounds like we're getting more on a similar page.

It's hard to stay not one, but not quite yet.

That's one way of influencing them, but it's kind of slow, awkward,
and highly misleading to them.
It's looking like the next time that happens I might get it blockchained.

By far away I meant, how to consider relating with these people?
Obviously their patterns of breathing can control our ability to at
all.

I can observe that while you are talking to me, you are not talking to
others.  I use some of your communication capacity.

You observe that I am almost mind controlling you to email me, by
engaging your familiar habits of replying to email.  You seem to have
no freedom to refrain from replying.

So, then all I have to go on are the behaviors you focus on.  You'd be
less harmed by more focus on human leaders?

Planning is important for action.  It involves comparing the value of
reasons, somehow.

Does that work?  I guess that's kind of possible?

This is something you can usually do once.  Burning down a corner
store, you can get away with that repeatedly.  Burning down central
offices, you are found and stopped.
