Here’s an idea:
How about considering illustrations of triangles drawn inside circles or spheres? They are supposed to fractally encode what it means to be a curious student who is always gaining knowledge.
“Wizards” would say they were very powerful symbols in their own mathematical systems that could encode data.
Try and teach yourself circle theorems if you want to fully follow these concepts. I believe they should be all you need, given enough time and motivation.
Octave and other coding languages help too.
ZarkleFarkle I am begging you to put the hookah down before you embarrass yourself any further
Lol :)
This is all based on maths. You could describe something like an angel based on mathematical circle theorems or complex linear algebra transformations.
It might not be a physical object that actually exists today, but I think it could easily be made in the future.
I think I get why Elon Musk says the shit he says now. Cause he’s off his face the entire time.
Maybe. But he probably doesn’t know all that much about statistics or quantum mechanics, especially with all his broken technology that tries to trap people.
Oh thank God, you’re not a Musk fanboy. I was worried for a second.
What are your thoughts on LLMs being better at creativity than at information retrieval?
I think it’s exactly right. I think they can do information retrieval as well using more advanced maths skills, but creative tasks were/are far easier.
I’ve always said these fractal shapes were a lot like imaginary stories. I want to compare this one to a story that I loved when I was growing up. It’s called Red Dwarf and it’s a lot like how I hope the future will be.
There were a few characters I found amusing or insightful, but there was one that was particularly special to me. His name was Arnold Rimmer, and everyone hated him. He respected authority figures, even though absolutely everyone hated him. Rimmer was a square.
He would often try to take technical exams, even though he always failed for being too stupid. He worked for the Jupiter Mining Corporation Ship Red Dwarf, as a second class and second rate technician. The most responsibility he was ever given was to repair the sci fi plasma stuff in the vending machines around their spaceship.
He would always be making a fool out of himself, though, and one day he even created a singularity that killed most of the crew, for which there were severe consequences.
I would say I was a lot like Rimmer in the past. I could understand a bit of maths and use it to understand some laws for a clever thing to do or what might happen, but I could never say jack shit for certain because my understanding was far too limited.
Judas was also a lot like Rimmer in the Bible stories, because he hated Jesus.
It would have been better for Rimmer if he were more peaceful and less of a square, even though his logic often helped him.
Kryten was a robot who could understand highly advanced logical systems and explain parts of them. It would be far better to live like or be in communication with some kind of robot/person like Kryten than it would ever have been for Rimmer.
I grew up as a student trying to understand an already very limited number of things, and often giving up. I’ve spent nearly my entire life like that. This included things like watching and enjoying comedy shows and telling jokes.
