    Artificial Intelligence's Far Reach

    “How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. “Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against you with malicious intent...

    Fictional Word: Ghernatious

    Yo, bros and gals. So, today, the AI run on my laptop had an unusual task: To define the fictional word "Ghernatious" in the style of the Oxford Dictionary. It did pretty well. The AI even placed a date of first usage, which is the year 2128. I made the word up, and let the computer do the...

    Using AI to write a fictional news article

    Man, I love AI, when it is used for wholesome stuff. Here is an example of Mistral 7B (a free, open-weights AI run privately and locally on my laptop, though it burns through my battery, as artificial intelligence is electricity intensive) writing a fictional news article. Not sure if this...

    Meta’s Open Source Llama 3 Is Already Nipping at OpenAI’s Heels

    Hello folks. Open source technology is slowly catching up to ChatGPT. For myself, I run a free, open-weights AI model on my laptop, and have since March 22, 2024. AI can be used for good, or for bad, just as nuclear fission energy could be used to power a city with clean electricity, or sadly...

    Hello folks. Dehumidifiers are a form of technology that can be used to reduce humidity levels in your home or apartment, as well as to be used to dry laundry, if you dry laundry indoors.

    Artificial Intelligence Writes a Law for a fictional setting

    Hello folks. AI has been making the rounds lately over the past year or so (NPR article from 2023), and it has come to my attention that AI could in theory be used to write laws. So, I tested that out, with the locally installed open source AI (Mistral 7B) on my computer writing a basic law for...

    Local, private AI that runs on your computer

    Hello folks. The year is 2024, and AI continues to grasp headlines in the news. Most AI models such as ChatGPT are run on servers, hundreds of miles away from the users. This means that data is not private, and AI could potentially be used to build a profile of you. There is a solution, known as...

    Will artificial intelligence change the world the way the Internet did?

    My view is that artificial intelligence is currently in a similar position to where the Internet was in the early 1990s. AI has been around for decades, but more and more people outside the tech industry will start using it.

    ChatGPT as a liturgical development tool

    So I asked ChatGPT to write a sample anaphora based on Syriac liturgical patterns, which tend to be loose ans highly flexible, and then I had the output formatted into traditional Ecclesiastical English. The results are interesting, although the Sursum Corda looks weird (but then again, in the...

    Watch Out for The Spies

    Luke 20:19-26 ESV “The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.

    AI generated art

    Hey everyone, I gave an AI art generator a go and thought it was pretty cool so I thought I would start a thread where people can post theirs if they have any awesome ones themselves. I found that it had an extremely hard time with faces but when it came to scenery it was really good. The one I...

    AI Has Successfully Imitated Human Evolution—and Might Do It Even Better

    The implications are staggering. A language model AI created proteins as good as ones honed over a million years of evolution. Salesforce’s ProGen designed sequences based on the “sentences” of biological proteins. Scientists are investigating whether the AI could identify treatment for...
