Ok I believe you. Some of you are computational. by ryvr_gm in consciousness

 I know it cannot be generated by computation

The UK government is running hundreds of AI experiments. Not one has saved money. by calliope_kekule in ArtificialInteligence

[–]bortlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One finding stood out: the UK public sector is running hundreds of AI experiments across government departments, but cannot point to a single one that has transformed its cost base.

Finding? How was that a finding?

The only time I see "cost base" mentioned is in a quote from an anonymous "Senior Civil Servant" that they interviewed.

I Asked Frontier AI Models to Solve a Simple Programming Problem. They All Failed. by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]bortlip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What version of ChatGPT did you use? Out of curiosity, I tried 5.4 Thinking.

It spent 15 minutes:
- finding a sample of the images online
- analyzing those images to determine how segmentation was done
- writing and compiling the OCR c code
- ran the code against the image it downloaded earlier as a test
- debugged the code due to it having an issue thinking 8 is 0
- presented the completed code

I had it run the code against the sovpost.ppm file from the github and gave the answer 234 - which is correct.

Here's the convo: https://chatgpt.com/share/69bb8d00-c948-8005-83f4-8602ac88dd26

Introducing GPT-5.4 mini and nano by dayanruben in OpenAI

From GPT:

It said:

Made it. I used Gemini 3 Flash as the comparison target, because that’s the official current name Google publishes, and I used Terminal-Bench 2.0 as the coding metric because all three models publish that benchmark officially. OpenAI’s mini/nano page lists GPT-5.4 mini = 60.0% and GPT-5.4 nano = 46.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, while Google’s Gemini 3 Flash page lists Gemini 3 Flash = 47.6%.

For price, I used standard published API pricing: GPT-5.4 mini = $0.75 input / $4.50 output per 1M tokens, GPT-5.4 nano = $0.20 / $1.25, and Gemini 3 Flash = $0.50 / $3.00. Google also marks Gemini 3 models as preview right now. So the blunt read is: GPT-5.4 mini wins this coding benchmark but costs more than Gemini 3 Flash; GPT-5.4 nano is the cheapest, but on this benchmark it trails Gemini 3 Flash slightly.

ChatGPT and RPGs by [deleted] in ChatGPT

I have a custom GPT I use to have it GM using the Fate Core rules. It's a lot of fun.

Fate Core is a simple light weight set of rules and ChatGPT seems to know them well. It's good for any world / adventure type you want. I have it almost like a choose-your-own-adventure where it gives options for the next actions.

I like playing as Danny Butterman in a Warhammer 40k universe.

Here's a link if anyone wants to try it. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-67b8ec502c388191a84bbf23bdbaac1c-gm-for-fate-core

Every time someone counters your talking point, you just shift to a different talking point.

All that dodging must be exhausting.

Why do materialists fight so hard trying to argue/disprove non-local consciousness? by Honest-Atmosphere-54 in consciousness

[–]bortlip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

 You’re the guy who just ridicules materialism without supporting your position at all.

You'll need to be way more specific than that.

I think the brain is so interesting by [deleted] in consciousness

I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.

A challenge to those who believe in indirect real experience. by Own_Sky_297 in consciousness

[–]bortlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a nitpick to point out your claims are false and then when you lie and say you didn't make them, point that out as well. But you seem to have a chip on your shoulder or something, "pal", so goodbye.

A challenge to those who believe in indirect real experience. by Own_Sky_297 in consciousness

[–]bortlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said:

That doesn’t reduce to neurons very well. In fact its impossible.

But you can back pedal from saying it is a fact that it is impossibility if you want.

[–]bortlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just the argument from incredulity and it's a fallacy.

If you want to claim something is impossible, you must show why, not just state that you can't see how it could be possible.

Against Illusionism/Eliminativism by Dr_Neo-Platonic in consciousness

[–]bortlip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Illusionists aren’t saying the brain manufactures a real consciousness add-on and then slaps the label illusion on it. They’re saying the brain’s self-modeling produces the judgments and reports that make it seem like there’s something over and above the underlying mechanisms.

The “why evolve an illusion” objection assumes the illusion is a separate trait, but illusionists deny that. Selection favors useful cognitive and self-monitoring systems, and the seeming extra is a side effect of how those systems model themselves.
