Maddeningly accurate. Taarof can demonstrate a mastery of social intelligence, like the Japanese tea ceremony writ large in society, and is a good goalpost for AGI.

Not one month ago, as an admission of my own clumsy slight, I had remarked to a senior of higher status, that Chatgpt could just grasp Taarof.

tried this irl and wound up here

as a longtime, proud, and noble pirate; attempts at moral justification or condemnation are simply gratuitous and i'm certain many like me feel the same

this is a rather funny joke

but if it is not that would be extremely impressive! determinism/freewill reduces to shazam!?

whats the training data to predict new song titles? heh

check out this reply from claude2:

>predict the next 3 new song titles from artist Taylor Swift

1. Last Dance with You - A reflective ballad about finding closure after a breakup. 2. Never Getting Back Together - A pop tune emphasizing that the same mistakes won't be made twice in a relationship. 3. 22 Was My Prime - A lighthearted look back on her early 20s as carefree years that can't be replicated.

very regretable and very predictable

pretty cool. "period" finetuning could be useful for game npc sims

I think we will find more examples countering our modern idea of discrete organisms separated across generations.

Consider again the glider translated across space time. Is it the same glider after 1,2,10 generations in time?

I always found it curious the ancient archons had rulerships which kept continuity in nominative identity across individuals for several generations. The social practice continues with the first, the second, III, IV etc.

The epigenetic view supports it.

ye prestige award is a political football now. same as it ever was?

indeed the prediction and agenda go hand-in-hand

it could not be otherwise else the agenda would alter the prediction until the new prediction and the new agenda match

interestingly this operation is the same as an agentic ai

I'm very interested to see how this picture will look 20-30 years out. Wealth is concentrated in pockets and the average person gets by. China wealth Gini index is moderating somewhat around Japan tier. US Gini is very high and closer to the world average.

>What's really screwy is the government has replaced most of the English translation on street signs from a literal translation to phonetic translation of the mandarin sound.

I don't think this is a fair take for a couple of reasons.

Mandarin is unlike other languages in that it's written form is famously ideographic. Phonetic translation is all that is done in any pair {L, M}. I assure you there is no such thing as a literal translation in any language.

Secondly, english as a global lingua franca is not a given and we in the anglosphere ought to be gracious in it's modern historical role, lest it decline (this is an exact mirror of dollar reserve privilege). Your statement reads as "be more accommodating for me". But through the prism of good manners it smacks of liberal entitlement.
