A quotation from Joubert

It is always our inabilities that irritate us.
 
[Ce sont toujours nos impuissances qui nous irritent.]

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 5 “Des Passions et des Affections de l’Âme [On the Soul], ¶ 29 (1850 ed.) [tr. Calvert (1866)]

Crippling agony,
Blinding inability —
Not accepting new realities.

"The ultimate goal of #terrorist movements is to expose the #inability of #governments to #protect their #societies, thus to compel concessions to the terrorists' causes. Where that end cannot be achieved because either the government is too powerful or the cause is too impossible, a steady diet of #pain and #suffering for the #TargetCountry becomes the terrorists' surrogate goal."

*Me, my Mom & my youngest brother are some of the many thousands of patients in #BritishColumbia who have been on the #WaitingList for a new family #doctor since our previous GPs retired.*

When the province introduced its #HealthConnectRegistry in 2021, we were told this would help #patients to find a #FamilyPhysician.

About 900,000 #BritishColumbians have no doctor, and while the #Health Ministry continues to announce the recruitment of new #physicians, that number has remained fairly constant for years.

Yet the #inability of the Registry to make meaningful progress is only one of its failings.

More troubling is that the Registry makes no attempt to place patients based on their age or #medical condition. This conflicts with one of the basic principles underlying medical practice, that faced with an inability to treat everyone who needs help, those with the most pressing requirements should come first.

A quotation from Bierce, Ambrose:

«
AGE, n. That period of life in which we compound for the vices that we still cherish by reviling those that we have no longer the enterprise to commit.

I thought of @bhaggart when I scan the article, "AI as Agency without Intelligence: on ChatGPT, large language models, and other generative models". [HT Grady]
//Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?// [HT Grady]
//“It also highlights the limitations of these LLMs, such as their #brittleness, #unreliability, and the occasional #inability to make elementary #logical inferences or deal with simple #mathematics.”// papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf

Al as Agency without Intelligence: on ChatGPT, large language models, and other generative models Luciano Floridi +? ' Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, 1 St Giles’, Oxford, OX1 3]S, UK * Department of Legal Studies, University of Bologna, Via Zamboni, 27/29, 40126, Bologna, IT Email of correspondence author: luciano floridi@oii.ox.ac.uk Abstract The article discusses the recent advancements in artificial intelligence (Al) and the development of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. The article argues that these LLMs can process texts with extraordinary success and often in a way that is indistinguishable from human output, while lacking any intelligence understanding or cognitive ability. It also highlights th

The article concludes that LLMs, represent a decoupling of agency and intelligence. While extremely powerful and potentially very useful, they should not be relied upon for complex reasoning or crucial information, but could be used to gain a deeper understanding of a text’s content and context, rather than as a replacement for human input. The best author is neither an LLM nor a human being, but a human being using an LLM proficiently and insightfully. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs), GPT3, ChatGPT, Limitations.

I've heard the suggestion that Facebook is great if you're interested in people, and Twitter is great if you're interested in ideas. That was certainly the reason that I favoured Twitter!

#My #worry #about #Mastodon #is #quite #foundational#its #apparent #inability #to #search #for #terms #that #aren't #hashtagged. #This #makes #it #much #less #effective #as #a #way #to #see #who's #talking #about #a #particular #aspect #of #a #topic.

Unless you write like that, of course!
