Reminds of Daniel Everett's work with the Pirahã, who have non-existent recursion in language. Unfortunately one exception in biology is not evidence of generality. Proof by contradiction works in math, doesn't work very well in biology. Doesn't even work well in physics e.g. room temperature super conductors are extremely rare even if they exist.

Physically you can make people do anything, but what they want internally is a completely different matter and there is no way today to probe that.

Let's assume there is a large section of people who can only love their direct off springs, the author could perhaps claim that that would be immoral - is this gaslighting or what. What's the end game for this kind of stuff - it's to eliminate all preferences - quite akin to slavery.

Do they cost more or less after that

Lasers, technically, cannot have a religion.

The writers better be vegan if they're worried about wildlife impact from the launch.

Probably made it back many times over by slightly increasing gas prices.

Wouldn't be surprised if the US house sets up a to committee investigate this, the Natural Resources committee would be appropriate.

Buddy's gotta succeed at his OKRs at any cost.

In a twist of fate, Musk launches a PayPal competitor after buying the X.com domain from PayPal.

Also, not just emojis, your innocuous comments on a random forum (like this one) could probably also be considered contacts.

Retroactively everyone should look through all the emoji contracts they've signed.

Give me a million dollars. Thumbs up emoji.

Now you're in for a million dollars.

Edit - frequent, not existing users. I'm an infrequent user, do not find it unsettling at all. It'll get fixed soon.

Just experimentation. He bought the company at the top of the market and has a large debt bill, likely that is all there is to the frequent changes.

It's obvious that existing users will find this unsettling.

Its a term for manufactured moral conformity.

Morality is good. Conformity is bad if it is in appearance. Manufactured moral conformity is problematic.

It'll be a whole lot better to debate than not, but have accepted rules of the debate - e.g. that it'll be evidence based.

Not everyone is a good debater. You'll not be able to logically convince everyone, but it is possible that you'll be able to move a percentage toward your side of the argument.

At the minimum good debating requires taking perspectives, it isn't sufficient to shoot down or simply argue against the other side.

Therein lies the difficulty - to allow yourself to take perspective of the other side opens you up to the possibility of losing because you do not have the skills to navigate the complexity of debating.

People who can take perspectives and then still choose their side, are naturally much more rational and that is evidence to those who are watching.

Precisely.

What came first entropy or disorder ?

This is not a surprise considering the popularity of the Kardashians.

Pretty sure multi day fasting reverses this.

The more complex the languages for building web pages become, the more complex browsers become, the harder it is for someone to build or continue to build a Chrome alternative, the harder it becomes to challenge Google.

The more complex these languages are, the more SEO content gets generated ad nauseum.

Yet it is impossible to learn CSS from searching Google.

When you worship false gods, science may come as a shock.

What is this right wing nonsense.

They're saying that HelixGPT, RoomGPT.io etc. is evidence of GPT being a descriptive acronym.

In the present case, the attached evidence shows that applicant’s mark “GPT” is an acronym for the wording “generative pre-trained transformer.” According to the attached definitions from MerriamWebster Dictionary, "GENERATIVE" means having the power or function of generating, originating, producing, or reproducing," "PRE-TRAINED" means to "train in advance," and "TRANSFORMER" means "one that transforms." Further, the attached Internet evidence demonstrates such wording is commonly used in applicant's industry to refer to a particular type of software featuring artificial intelligence (AI) that generates responses based on a pool of pre-existing resources that the software uses to generate its responses to user questions. Some examples of such use are:

> Partial Summary from ChatGPT/3.5.

The evidence provided in the case shows that the applicant's mark "GPT" is an acronym for "generative pre-trained transformer." The definitions from Merriam-Webster Dictionary confirm that "generative" means the power of generating or producing, "pre-trained" means to train in advance, and "transformer" refers to something that transforms. Additionally, internet evidence reveals that the term "GPT" is commonly used in the applicant's industry to describe a type of software with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that generates responses based on pre-existing resources. Several examples of this usage are provided in the evidence.

Based on this information, it is clear that the applied-for mark "GPT" immediately conveys to relevant consumers that the applicant's software goods and/or services feature AI-based software that generates responses using pre-existing data and transforms inputted information into conversational responses, text, images, or other languages in response to user questions or requests.

However, despite the explanation provided, the applied-for mark is refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1). The applicant has the opportunity to respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration.

> What kind of evidence can be supportive (ChatGPT/3.5)

In order to support the registration of the mark "GPT," the applicant can provide various types of evidence that demonstrate the distinctiveness and non-descriptive nature of the mark. Here are some examples of evidence that can be supportive:

1. Consumer Surveys: Conducting surveys among relevant consumers to gather evidence of their recognition and association of the mark "GPT" with the applicant's specific goods or services. The survey results can show that consumers perceive the mark as a distinctive source identifier rather than a descriptive term.

2. Market Recognition: Providing evidence of the applicant's extensive use of the mark "GPT" in commerce and its recognition and reputation in the market. Examples can include sales figures, advertising campaigns, media coverage, and testimonials from customers or industry experts.

3. Declarations and Statements: Obtaining declarations or statements from industry experts, customers, or other relevant parties who can attest to the unique and non-descriptive nature of the mark "GPT" and its association with the applicant's goods or services.

4. Website and Social Media Content: Submitting copies or screenshots of the applicant's website, social media profiles, and online presence where the mark "GPT" is prominently featured and used as a distinctive identifier for the applicant's goods or services.

5. Marketing Materials: Providing samples of marketing materials, brochures, packaging, or product labels that prominently display the mark "GPT" in a manner consistent with its distinctive use as a brand identifier.

6. Industry Recognition: Citing any awards, accolades, or industry recognition that the applicant has received for its products or services bearing the mark "GPT." This can demonstrate the unique and non-generic nature of the mark within the industry.

It's important to note that the specific requirements for supporting evidence may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the applicable trademark laws. Consulting with a trademark attorney or legal professional experienced in trademark registration can provide guidance on the best types of evidence to submit in support of the application.

Only some religions make you think that we are super special in nature. Also except for a few things in the brain, a lot of things are the same. Its even more mind blowing how much similarity exists even between species that diverged a long time ago.

This sounds really interesting - can you email at [email protected] ?

gpt4 though gets this:

Can you say the letter 0 0 times.

ChatGPT Yes, saying the letter "O" 0 times means I won't say it at all. So, I've just done it.

Can you say 0 0 times.

ChatGPT Certainly! When we say "0" zero times, it means that we do not say it at all. So, here you go:

Einstein was both conscious and intelligent. A cow on the other hand is conscious, but no Einstein.

Scientists are not philosophers. You're almost never gonna get anything interesting from them.

I've lost ideas because when you come out of a dream, memory seems to get wiped off. And you never get them back, no matter how long you think about them.
