    Finally got around to watching that (short) video. Not sure I'm clearer or more confused about it all, ha. The processing behind it is impossible to comprehend, which makes it both exciting and dangerous to an extent. Nonetheless, I wonder if AI will in the future be so good that it could do seemingly impossible things such as translating animal sounds (what's that dog saying?) or more pragmatically, what EXACTLY will the weather be in 2 weeks.

      Or imagine implementations that integrate facial recognition technology and use drones and fixed cameras to keep tabs of an entire population for every moment of their lives.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        And then connect that data to your quantum computer to predict what they do next.
        And then arrest murderers before they murder.

          ChatGPT Plus for all ... in the UAE:

          https://www.thearabianstories.com/2025/05/25/free-ai-for-all-uae-becomes-first-to-offer-chatgpt-plus-to-every-resident-and-citizen/

          "ChatGPT Plus" is something that costs $20/month if we want it. The UAE has struck a deal with OpenAI to make ChatGPT Plus available to all the citizens and residents of the UAE at no cost to them.

            I wonder if a vpn to UAE is cheaper than my ChatGPT subscription

              I don't know.

              But the ChatGPT you get in UAE may or may not be the same as the ChatGPT you get here.

              Not that hard to imagine different localizations, be it naturally occurring because the underlying algorithms take the user's geographic location into account, or due to censorship placed by the governments in different jurisdictions.

                It'll be really interesting to see the long term effects on human cognition, when everybody has every answer at their fingertips. Living without an AI will feel like driving without GPS.

                Education is extremely important.

                  Agreed. Do kids even know how to use paper maps these days?

                    Online maps don't look all the different from paper maps. Not like online search results looking very different from library index cards or digital clock looking very different from analog clocks.

                    I figure future generations will miss paper maps and associated skills like we miss sundials and the library card catalogs and their associated skills.

                          Nate Silver has a long substack post today about how surprisingly bad ChatGPT is at poker. I didn't read the whole thing as it got kind of poker-wonky.

                            I've heard it plays chess like AlphaZero had a cousin that was in a serious car accident after smoking crack.

                            I was only joking
