Engineering the intersection of mind, machine, and myth @CoolestCatsLab.com with my wife.
This thread is a story not only about data and AI, but about all of science. This bias is not anti-scientific; it is intrinsic in everything we do, including science, which is the ultimate bias of all. The greatest critics of science like Nietzsche understood this.
I always feel roguish to make such a basic point, but bias is an intrinsic feature of _data_, and transitively of any system of analysis or decision-making based on data.

The fact that this point has to keep being demonstrated over and over for more complex systems is crazy-making to me.
"Drawing on a 20.3-million-query audit of ChatGPT, we map systematic biases in the model's representations of countries, states, cities, and neighbourhoods. From these empirics, we argue that bias is not a correctable anomaly but an intrinsic feature of generative AI”.

Two seemingly unrelated works of art, but both of them serve as deep sources of inspiration for the game and setting that my wife and I are working on, among many others. I look forward to having more to share with you in the future. #Nietzsche #Elfquest

The latest technological innovation isn't generative AI, but accelerated computing, which made generative AI possible. A hardware evolution, in other words. Evolutionary developments in hardware, whether organic or mechanic, are a prerequisite for new software developments. #AIdev #philosophy

The playbooks for the DGX Spark are a nice touch and I'm glad to see NVIDIA continuously adding more. They promote awareness of AI development opportunities that both amateur and experienced developers need. I hope there continues to be more added in the future.

Our characters are powered by AI; not scripted, but alive.
They remember, react, and evolve with you. You can fight beside them, argue, fall in love, or turn them into your enemies.
Your choices shape who they become, and who you’ll be to them.

Our HolyLuna #AI we're developing @coolestcatslab.com isn't just a multi-agent multimodal system, or an application wrapper, or a set of specialized databases, or a GUI layer. Luna is all of this and more. She's a complex architecture blending anatomy with computer, data, and information science.
