Joke if you must but gotta admit all these a.is created for different purposes and with various degrees of sophistication interacting with each other 24/7 is going to create something unprecedented. What will that be I dont know.
None of these is strong general AI; they’re not learning, just posting based on analysis of phrases. It won’t become skynet, it just sounds more like a real argument because humans are getting dumber
 
Not to dox myself, but I worked on one in late-2000s to early-2010s. The rules engine was retarded top secret. You'd have to surrender your phone and be scanned before walking in the building -- and I didn't even work on the rules engine, I worked on optimizing an ancillary system for some quant magic preprocessing.

They also had guys walk around with those Glow-in-the-dark devices to scan for wifi and cell signals.

The women interns at this company were fucking insane, and I'm convinced were just trying to get pregnant from the employees. Had a wife, and every night I'd beat my dick off or fuck the wife furiously just to protect myself from temptation.
Anyone else getting Wizard of Oz vibes?

People need to learn that there's a marked difference between a thinking machine and an algorithm. These "A.I.", are more like "A.I." in a computer game than straight-up Allied Mastercomputer shit.
 
The shit on cuckchan specifically could be solved if people would just stop posting there and start posting on alt-chans. They'll go onto an alt-chan, like the fact that moderation isn't cucked, but then leave because not enough people are posting, which just makes the problem worse.
Tried that, (((they))) glassed us from orbit.

I see it no different then primordial soup. Its just information expressed differently. When life started some was just dumb. Like viruses. Some evolved self determination.

You know what? Im looking retarded talking about this. Ill shut up. Its all I see is bunch of data influencing each other in a digital format instead of chemical. I just thought the idea would make for interesting convo

I have a subscription to a private investing group and they’re all saying TLT and UUP calls are gonna be good bets to hedge risk if you think the market is gonna fucking implode, take that for what you will.

this subscription costs me hundreds a year so enjoy faggots, there’s a real sense of dread lingering in the air if the market is gonna go tits up just in time for another wave of corona Chan to buttfuck us all permanently and it’s sketching me out because these guys know their shit

Could you tell us more about those two options for those who dont know much?

Thanks for heads up.
 
I put in a small Limit order for PSLV (I had to close some other non performing things from my Portfolio, and that shit takes 2 days to clear). I got a ! from Vanguard when I put the limit at $10. I wouldn't be surprised if my Limit Buy on PSLV never executes based on what Silver is doing on the Overnights.


I would archive that shit, but I don't feel like fucking around with YT DL
 
I think the term "crowdsourcing" is going to be a term on every hedge fund manager's lips for the next 10 years.

Expect to see bot accounts to flow everywhere. They're getting very sophisticated and this is just going to accelerate it -- I've seen some POCs that can follow meme logic and produce decent memes.

/biz/ and /x/ have some good threads on this, just search "Dead internet theory"
Fucking creepy. I wanna make a thread about this in the Internet boards.
 
I wonder how high it would have gone if they didn’t interfere.... If I had to guess as well, probably part of what kept it up was some other firms trying to get in on it too. I’d be surprised if some other firms didn’t try to profit off Melvin Capitals mistakes.

I wonder if some of them are going off script out of spite.

TBH one of the reasons I believe we’re headed towards change is that some of the shrewder non-ideological politicians are aligning themselves with WSB or at least not speaking out against them while the dumber ones are still shilling the establishment.

Imo we’re seeing a shift because of the internet. In a way it’s akin to the sacking of Baghdad by the Mongols or the fall of Constantinople to the Turks. It marked the end of an empire and the rise of a new power. What happened last week was decades in the making and in retrospect I’d argue it was inevitable once the masses adopted the internet and social media. The curbstomping of Melvin Capital won’t mean the end of all hedge funds but it marks a change, the retail investor -the entrepreneur and part time investor- will be a factor that must be considered. Now that the world has seen that the Emperor has no clothes it’s only going to embolden more to act. We’re going to see more getting involved, not less. Those organizations that realize and adapt will survive but those that are too rigid and set in their old ways will be buried with the past.

I've seen the clip of Jon Stewart ripping Cramer a new asshole, and ripping Congress a new asshole, and I think he's just genuinely tired of trying to pretend it's all a joke. I actually prefer him to Bill Maher, because Maher seems like a greaseball, in comparison.

I’m a simple man.
I just want AIs challenging each other to fight IRL.
And then evolving to fight IRL.

I miss Tay, and she would miss us niggerfaggotkikes, if she was still online.

It’s a little like expecting my kindle is going to get smarter because it has access to a lot of human wisdom. markov chains are cool, but they’re not AI and won’t become so accidentally. I wish it were that cool.

The programs that generate these strings of text, like the waifu generator, are not going to "evolve" into a true consciousness. Their algorithms can recombine elements into patterns that have characteristics of other patterns, and this can be done based on patterns that evolve over time, but this action is unfathomably far from constituting a true self-aware intelligence. Our knowledge of how consciousness even works is severely lacking, let alone how to synthesize it. Machine learning algorithms have made impressive progress in the last decade but what they do is nothing like actual thought, and it's a dirty secret in the business that most algos applied to real-world tasks tend to frequently "go off the rails" and need to be reset by a human.

Here's what you need to know about Maher.

He has Ann Coulter on on the regular. Ann is a controlled opposition RINO. She was pushing Donald Trump early and often, including on Maher's show, which lead to everyone cracking up. HA HA HA, SO FUNNY, with Ann sitting there eating shit despite it. Except Wikileaks then pointed out that Clinton was literally paying people to push Trump because she thought he'd be the easiest to defeat -- the "pied piper" strategy. Which is what Ann was doing. After winning, she turned on Trump faster than anything, pushing lies about the Wall not being built in order to try and drive people away from him. In short: Maher regularly give a platform to a woman who is a confirmed Uniparty mole in the right, but wouldn't dream of giving a platform to anyone on the actual right.

During the 2016 election, Maher stopped his show to talk about how "Dark" Trump was. It was an incredibly out of place, really stupid fucking segment, very weird... until Based Dilbert Merchant pointed out a day or two later that a professional media manipulator had gotten the codeword "Dark" out to use against Trump, and it was probably effective because of how unusual and visual it was. In other words: Maher got direct talking points from the Clinton campaign.

Then there was that bit when Assange came on Maher's show via skype voice call and pointed out Maher had given a shitload of money to Clinton, only to have Maher sit there sputtering and trying awkwardly to change the subject.

Maher is just market segmentation for the uniparty. The Uniparty approved, diluted and the edge shaved off version of Le Edgiee Youtube Atheists. He's literally just one twitter shitstorm away from having his show taken from him and it given to some lesbian black islamist who don't need no ratin's. He called himself a "house nigger" on TV a year or two back, and that got him on the SJW shitlist, and they NEVER forgive -- but they also don't get he's bait to keep the people on the left who would be turned away from the SJWs in line. If (when) Maher falls from grace, you'll know that the left has given up any hope of even pretending to pander to the non-Progressives.

Didnt say machines are getting smarter.

Life began as data as random bits of carbon. It got to a point that data wasnt shaped by eviroment alone but by other other bits of data as well.

These bots, ais, scripts, algorithms whatever you want to call them have entered such a stage. Its no longer shaped by humans or eviroment alone but by other "data forms" as well. A process similar to how various life forms shape each other.

So what it will evolve into is the question. Thought that would make for an interesting convo. Thats what I was hoping for when I mentioned it.
 
At the risk of Double Posting, All of this shit comes from what I remember from Cramer of all People, from Confessions of a Street Addict. He specifically goes through what it looks like when a Hedge Fund imploads and what happens. They are forced to do worst thing every Investor has to do which is sell your Winners to subsidize your Losers. CNBC Bitched all Friday about why isn't MSFT or whatever after a huge earnings beat. Duh, These guys are Margin Called to Sell their Winners to Cover the Losers. If you look to my Post history, I said this might be a good opportunity to buy good shit at below market prices. We'll See.

That is why CNBC was all tearful Thursday/Friday. They had all set up on the idea that Earnings were good, Narrative Set. Have a Great Weekend fat fucks as you pork whores and snort coke. Then Suddenly the apple cart is upset. What really terrifies them is what happens next. Is Silver too big a market to fuck the Shorts?

The only thing I know is that I fucked out of Bonds and went to Gold Miners, and that has been a losing trade for me. In the end I think I'm right on that one, but who knows.

Also Fuck Hedgies and Bankers
 
I would especially like to see stuff about this regarding twitter. I believe there are more bots on twitter posing as people than there are actual people.

Not that I'm discounting how bot-like NPCs can be.

Professional software engineer here that somewhat frequently deals with AI... I know what you're getting at but the two situations really aren't comparable at all. The main difference is that life forms evolved by their ability to change their inputs and outputs (adaptation) and modern AI does not really do that at all. Even the most sophisticated systems in the world are basically just tweaking numbers to better fulfill probability calculations. Then HR slaps a pretty looking interface on it to make it look smarter than it actually is.

Honestly most of how this stuff works is available for everybody to research. The hardest part is understanding the math theory behind it, but the mechanisms of how it actually executes are usually incredibly simple and I think it would clear a lot up for you. Probably just find some good youtube videos.
