Surprised they drew that routine out on their channel.

Shocked, I tell ya! No kidding! I was going to post the original Carlin clip and happened to stumble across the After Skool version.

50 years ago today SLEEPER premiered in New York City.



SLEEPER trivia: Other candidates for the nuclear warhead joke punchline were NYC cabbies and the DAR.




Visitors to the National Archives Museum often ask: why does the word Congress have an "f" in it at the top of the Bill Of Rights?


Here is the Long S answer.


In the voice of Hans Gruber, Ho... Ho... Ho...



Final destination for the trip is Nashville, where they performed a flyover for the Titans game today.

You know we're in that season again when various TV networks AND theaters start re-showing "Die Hard"...tis the season.


As AI creates more of the content online (text, news, videos, images) it will enter a feedback loop where its errors multiply and it "learns" from the erroneous AI generated material it finds online. In this way AI becomes self corrupting. Sure seems that's what is happening to humans. I wonder what happens when you feed AI generated data into AI models.

Looky here, some folks actually doing research into this...


Degenerative AI: The collapse is Near


This is "Glasgow rains a lot" as generated by AI:

The noted science fiction author Robert Heinlein once wrote “climate is what you expect, and weather is what you get” as quoted in the Sunset Western Garden Book, 2012. And after a decade of changing weather systems, even slightly, our gardening methods will change, too.

Google DeepMind Used a Large Language Model to Solve an Unsolvable Math Problem

Google DeepMind has used a large language model to crack a famous unsolved problem in pure mathematics. In a paper published in Nature today, the researchers say it is the first time a large language model has been used to discover a solution to a long-standing scientific puzzle—producing verifiable and valuable new information that did not previously exist. "It's not in the training data—it wasn't even known," says coauthor Pushmeet Kohli, vice president of research at Google DeepMind.

Large language models have a reputation for making things up, not for providing new facts. Google DeepMind's new tool, called FunSearch, could change that. It shows that they can indeed make discoveries—if they are coaxed just so, and if you throw out the majority of what they come up with.

FunSearch (so called because it searches for mathematical functions, not because it's fun) continues a streak of discoveries in fundamental math and computer science that DeepMind has made using AI. First AlphaTensor found a way to speed up a calculation at the heart of many different kinds of code, beating a 50-year record. Then AlphaDev found ways to make key algorithms used trillions of times a day run faster.
