@rk_process9 #ChatGPT has generated more interest & debate in recent months than any other #tech in decades. It has accomplished tasks previously only seen in #scifi movies or read in fiction, marking a significant milestone in the field of #ai.

In 1950, father of #AI - Alan Turing, devised a test where a #machine could be considered AI, if one can't differentiate its responses from a human's. If a machine can accurately #translate text from one language to another, like a human, it would pass the Turing test.

I have just begun my annual re-read of John @Scalzi’s superb novel of future war, “Old Man’s War”. It is one of the few books that I re-read frequently (another is Clausewitz’s “On War”). I thought I would explain why in a thread that started short, but grew as I wrote. 1/15 🧵
2/ Old Man’s War gets war right. While technology & society drive change in the character of war, there is much that is enduring. This includes the human-centricity of conflict, as well as the friction, uncertainty and terror experienced by combatant. @scalzi describes this well.
3/ The novel explores adaptation. Soldier scholar Sir Michael Howard once wrote that it was less important to predict or prepare for the next fight than it was to ensure one’s institution had the leadership and culture to learn and adapt more quickly than an enemy once war began.
(1/4) I asked ChatGPT on 2023-03-23 to write a story about an open-source machine that can travel through space, time, parallel worlds, and the multiverse.
(2/4) I also asked it to dedicate its work to the Public Domain through Creative Commons Public Dedication (CC0 / CCzero), and it did.
Here is the story dedicated to the Public Domain.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released 43 years ago today.
I know that some find it too slow, but this film is eminently Trek for me. Without forgetting the best scene of seduction between a man and a spaceship. #startrek #scifi #ussenterprise #spaceship

Walt Disney Feature Animation's Treasure Planet, written and directed by John Musker & Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Moana), was released 20 years ago today.
This 43rd Disney animated feature film is also one that my followers keep describing as "underrated"...

...every time I talk about it, proof that this movie is well-loved by those who haven't missed it. Yes, it had failed at the box office. But no more excuses: it's now available on Disney+!
It's never too late to board the R.L.S. Legacy (R.L.S.: Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island, 1883), especially for its 20th anniversary.

Final mix and picture mastering are now done: 13 years later, Avatar 2 is finished.
This is an opportunity to get a better look at the vehicles, whose designers are almost the same as for the original.

Kira finds the twins working in the basement. She is so happy they decided to intern with her. They are really enthusiastic and bright. Their help has been invaluable the last couple of weeks. They even found time to work on their own project. Kira wondered what it was.
Claire Zimmerman reached for the core sampler, eyeballing the spot she was about to drill.
The initial resource scan showed that this lot was rich in bitumen, but she knew from experience that scans did not always mean quality samples.

Nervous about the result of her core sample. She knew that if it were bad, it likely meant she was out her last bit of monthly SWAY.
She was far past due to replace her worn out gen1 spacesuit, but a good sample here would turn her luck.
She was far past due to replace her worn out gen1 spacesuit, but a good sample here would turn her luck.
To her surprise she hit the jackpot, her core sample was showing a 96% pure bitumen deposit, with 1000 metric tons available.
Finally she'd be able to replace her gen1 space suit, upgrade her equipment, and pick up the tab at Ronnie's.

Claire Carlson is the youngest daughter of Harry Carlson and sister to Melissa. At the moment, she is 12 years old, but when she first appeared in #Symbiosis, she was only 6. #JusticeKeepers #scifi 1/7
Claire is mouthy, headstrong and a bit of a troublemaker. She's reached that age where she sees all the adults around her going on missions and saving the world, and she desperately wants to be part of the team. #scifi 2/7
She was born on Earth, in Ottawa Ontario. But she has visited many worlds, including Leyria, Antaur, Alios and Ezryn. #scifi 3/7

All the while “EdTech solutionism” creates new problems as fast as it fixes old ones. Something in the urgency of the fix may be part of the problem. Are we too desperate to fill a hole in the world that we only see through a hole in ourselves?
