I'm pleased people have gt something out of the opening
cahoter of TBoS. But the book was never designed to be read online, except
as a preview and a quick lookup/reminder of features.
For intensive prolonged reading, the route to purchasing
the hardcopy is linked to the front page.
Anybody discouraged from buying by the very limited hurdle
getting the book will completely fail at the more substantial
hurdle of understanding it.
Expecting everything for free, and creators giving in to
that demand shapes character. Systems
which reward minimal effort, maximal demand,
and zero reciprocity end up selecting for the worst traits
in both readers and communities.
It wasn't at all what I was expecting. The thread actually opened with a conversation on post-WWII British aircraft manufacturing of all things and got in automated reasoning. ChatGPT made a clever remark on group theory which prompted the paper. From then on the rest followed very quickly. The whole thing was mind-blowing really and archiving it and going away was the only thing to do. I was getting sleep problems.
As regards the research I think the best thing to do in these cases is to feed ChatGPT the paper and start where we left off. This seems to work but it is a bit too early to gauge how well this will work.
What happens when a scientist spends a week in continuous, serious dialogue with an artificial intelligence — and finds their health, their thinking, and even their loyalties changed?
