I hope so. Not sure about the corporate execs though, but there is hope in the open source community AI. I started looking into the HuggingFace, installed Stable Diffusion locally (just for the fun of it) and it works. Training models is a daunting task and could be expensive due to hardware...

Thanks, I think I've seen that video. Not sure how to get into Gemini directly, if at all possible. It is supposed to be incorporated into Bard. In the same example I used with Claude, Bard is hallucinating even crazier, though gave a couple of good answers (unlike Claude). I asked it for a link...

I don't share your optimism. Anthropic claims it re-trains Claude based on feed-back. I did an experiment by asking it (Claude 2, not sure which one you are using) the first few questions you asked it. The answers did differ from what you got somewhat, were imho better, but still "could, would...

Hi Alex, it is potentially a very powerful tool, yes. Here is my very recent experience with Claude 2: I asked it to list a series of papers in my field that address a specific topic (I can provide details, but they are not that important). It provided 5 references that sounded extremely...

You know a lot more about AI than I do, but why do you think it will be harder? AI, including LLM, as I understand it, is still nothing more than a (very, very complex) minimization algo, which means that (a) if the majority of published stuff is along the lines of NDE=="a surprisingly amazing...

Thanks, Alex, this was brilliant. The only thing I am afraid about "AI" is that it will be made the ultimate authority on whether or not something is true.

"one question it up from this interview is what are spiritual? What are spiritually transformative experiences telling us about encounters with E T. Or you could ask that in reverse and kind of get an interesting question as well." A quick stab: both ways it means ET has to have non-material...

The only thing closed here is your mind, Chester. Take care.

Being pretty open to constructive pushback is good on him. If his heart is in the right place and he really wants to figure out what is going on, he will understand. I listened to your two interviews with him and thought wow this is interesting, ideas fly around, the guy sounds knowledgable and...

@Chester Hunter, ohhhh, "this guy" did not read the book, but provided a bunch of quotes with page references, he must be magical, don't you think? ;) AND ohhh, he does not hobnob with intelligence agents, OR tries to do a billion bucks deal to finance a revolution in a country in which he did...

Hey @Alex2, thanks for bringing Marty to the show - it was great, please bring him again. A question, if I may: you keep bringing up "do ET's have an NDE" regularly in your shows, would you elaborate on why you think it is important? Why not what Hitler or Stalin NDE (or FDE - full DE) were...

@Alex, thanks for the interesting podcast. Using the 6mil to question the holocaust is wrong, yes. But not allowing to question the exact number, while not denying the holocaust, is wrong too. Also, if you allow mainstream science publications as an argument, you should then be consistent and...

Well, I finally finished the "Closer encounters". First, the good things: the print is of good quality and the book contains plenty of juicy UFO stories. Too bad all those stories are from other sources, while Jorjani’s contribution is, to quote himself is “Sad, so sad. Pathetic, actually.” (p...

Just got the book yesterday, so obviously did not get to that part yet. However, the Intro was very disappointing to say the least, especially after all the accolades to the author from Alex. Jorjani either can't explain his logic or there is not much of it there at all. I am hoping for the...

Regarding Cowan and the whole hullabaloo, may I suggest you ponder/research some of these points? Here they are: 1. How many comets passed by in the past 2000 years, do they correlate in time AND space with, say, black plagues (there were several)? 2. Why there is documented geographic...

Thanks, Alex. That was interesting too. So she failed in your reading, huh. In my school they say the maximum accuracy is about 75% and give some complicated reasons for it, which I was not able to comprehend (yet). One reason I got into it is to actually statistically test it, but found it is...

Nice interview, quite a few things to talk about. I guess I missed the episode about astrology (or did I misheard there was one?). I started looking into astrology after reading Jung. Modern western stuff (at least what I saw) is sooo fluffy and vague, ugh. But after seeing this episode with...

I apologize for being condescending and I am sorry for your loss. I must say I did not expect people here to be very sensitive, but I should not have extrapolated the host to his community. As I said in the previous post, I do support everybody in their efforts to improve their "territory"...

It's a bit more complicated than just bases, it needs specific sequences for gene delineation, but let's drop it for a moment. PCR as a testing tool is a different story. As far as I am concerned, what they call covid or at least all those meaningless counts could be a bunch of flu-type...

yes, but don't you think it would be quite a feat for several groups to hit this lottery ticket?
