I met up with Jackson and Wally to go to a new conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Parma.
This week was originally going to be the day Alena would be performance Brahms Symphony #4 with the Parma symphony, but at the last minute her and the parents all got covid, after all this time. We had made plans to get food afterwards, and so Jacklson, Wally and I decided to skip the concert and just get food.
We gathered at Wally's place, where he showed off the impressive level editor he had created for his Game Maker Studio project, Shinobi Drop.
Once Jackson arrived, we set out for the sushi resteraunt.
I had some crab sushi, some inari, and tamago, and a couple others that I am still not entirely sure what they were. They also had some desserts, like the chinese buffet cakes and red bean paste filled mochi.
We talked about anime, like Jojo's bizarre adventure, and how to enjoy turn your brain off media.
Back at Wally's house, we ended up having a deep conversation about AI tools, and their potential effect on the human condition. Going forward, we are going to have to find a way to balance out optomism about human's ability to adapt, with out pessimism with human's ability to adapt, but no matter what, it seems like it's going to make a lot of peoples jobs obsolete, which could result in an overall loss of human knowledge as skills are no longer passed down.
My prediction is that society will become increasingly reliant on AI while regulations lag behind, but then there will be a high profile accident that occus as a direct result of, or in association with an AI written piece of code. At this point, in resoponse to public pressure, AI will become heavily overregulated to the point that it is significantly less useful.
We watched some examples of AI generated content, such as the last 3 US presidents making a zelda tier list, and an animation made as a composite of video and AI compositing. We also tried using ChatGPT to answer various programming questions, including GLSL and SQL.
Also, when I got to use it, I tried instructing it to respond in a rude way because I thought it would be funny, but it refused as this had been disallowed, presumably as a safety measure. However, at Jackson's suggestion I asked it to act like a tsundere, which worked to hilarious effect.
