    I'm gonna have to be very very healthy.
    (Judging from my family, we can hang on into good age with minimal intervention, so hopefully that's gonna happen.)

                            Compare the rather obvious "baiting" by AI's with the convoluted lies and manipulations by humans at the moment on the world stage.

                            I'd much rather have an AI running the show as long as its trained only by compassionate and aware human data, themselves elected from society.

                            Then have the civil servants carry out all the work and offer in AI guardrails. Keep the ego's and lies out of leadership! Bring back Transparency and Integrity.

                            Just an Idea 😉

                              Did not know about this until I read an article - thats interesting:

                              Blockchain-Based Voting Systems - Blockchain Council

                              Blockchain voting systems offer secure, transparent elections, reducing fraud and enhancing voter confidence.

                              Personally I think we just as a species/planet need to get human emotions out of the picture in making big decisions - like digging up all the last oil, starting wars etc. We have to have some level headed advice and decisions, OK, we can put human gate-post on it. But it should never be 1 individual or party. I would even say for local issues it can be left alone!

                                  @AlSweigart In the spirit of "know your enemy" I asked (an LLM coding assistant) to write a C99/x11 function I could call when an alarm or countdown triggers in my music player. I explained that the app is in dark mode and I'd like it modal, with a few pastel colours to be eye-catching. I forget the exact words.

                                  Never once did it say "That's a terrible idea!"

                                  It ran first time. But let's be frank it *was* a terrible idea 🙂

                                  It perpetrated this:
                                  (the coloured bands move slowly, BTW)

                                      One needs to be able to judge whether the output from an AI is trustworthy or not. Anyone who cannot correctly make that judgement isn't smart enough to be using AI.

                                        I'm gonna have to be very very healthy.
                                        (Judging from my family, we can hang on into good age with minimal intervention, so hopefully that's gonna happen.)

                                        @ozzelot @SnoopJ @AlSweigart once a doctor told me I have to give up drinking, cigarettes and too much meat.

                                        I never drank, never smoked and was vegetarian.
                                        Now I am prepared for the next doctors visit to oblige to his request

                                          One needs to be able to judge whether the output from an AI is trustworthy or not. Anyone who cannot correctly make that judgement isn't smart enough to be using AI.

                                          @kasperd @n_dimension @AlSweigart in my AI classes I usually start with this:
                                          I dont need AI.
                                          If I have no clue, I can’t use AI because I am not sure it is lying. If I know the topic, I dont need AI anyway.

                                          🙂
