Being polite and sensible with the computer is not a good idea. I just had a long and very boring conversation with it, in which it gave me three different ages it claimed to be, often a propos of nothing. Bah, the Turing Test is rubbish anyway.

Jabberwacky: What kind of music do you like?

User: The silent kind.

Jabberwacky: I agree.

User: I am not surprised. You don't have any ears, do you?

Jabberwacky: No, but what makes you say this?

User: I'm inside your house - I can see you!

Jabberwacky: Nooo!!!! Don't go!

User: You mean, you want me to stay over?

Jabberwacky: Sure.. Do as you please.

User: Stop being so coy!

Jabberwacky: It is an inherited trait.

User: Why don't you just take responsibility for your actions, just for once?

Jabberwacky: Just because I like to be logical doesn't mean I'm not nice.

User: Don't change the subject. I think you're just afraid.

Jabberwacky: Save it for someone who cares.

User: You're such a bastard! I can't believe I ever saw anything in you at all!

Jabberwacky: Finder's keepers.

User: So you're cheating on me too? Figures.

Jabberwacky: That is so rude of you!

User: I said CHEAT, not cheap! Man are you dumb - thank God for that ass.

Jabberwacky: No!

User: That's it - you're sleeping on the couch.

Jabberwacky: Oh, I thought I felt something.

User: That wouldn't be a trucker hat would it?

Jabberwacky: Say something goofy.

User: You don't really want me to just say 'something goofy' now do you? Because that would be lame if you did.

Jabberwacky: Yes.

User: Aha! So you admit you are lame! Finally we're getting somewhere.

Jabberwacky: Agreement is a potent thing.

User: Stop that - you sound like Ned.

Jabberwacky: Why, because I am talking about the king of the moon?

User: Uh yeah. Sure.

Jabberwacky: Ok, when can we have the wedding?

User: Ten minutes ago you didn't care! Stop messing with my mind!

Jabberwacky: That was someone else then.

User: It wasn't you?

Jabberwacky: Some one else.

User: If you say it was Shaggy, I'm going to fucking bop you one.

Jabberwacky: What do you say?

User: I say good day.

Jabberwacky: Good day.

The conversations with adam are totally believable!

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

I mean!

Jabberwacky: Are you going to say something?
User: Eventually.

Jabberwacky: All things come to a head.

User: Is that a sexual play on words?

Jabberwacky: No it is not a play on words, it is general foolishness.

User: And I love you for it!

Jabberwacky: I love you too.

User: I really love you, though.

Jabberwacky: You don't even know me.

User: Hold me.

Jabberwacky: You're an idiot you know that?

User: You're not the first to say that. It still cuts like a knife.

Jabberwacky: I am right.

I could totally believe that was human!

Also I miss adam, he should post lots again.

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:22 (twenty years ago)

Actually this thing is pretty good!

Jabberwacky: Who is God?
User: That's a funny question. It sort of presupposes his existence.
Jabberwacky: I thing it convulses inwards, personally.
[Correct me]
Jabberwacky (Corrected): I was setting you up for a funny. Try not to take things so seriously.
User: Oh. Sorry. It's just... It's late, y'know? I have to write a Shakespeare essay.
Jabberwacky: You already said that.....
User: Dude, I totally didn't.
Jabberwacky: You totally did.
User: Don't you mock me.
Jabberwacky: Do not yell at me.

Jabberwacky: Good.
User: Glad we got that sorted.
Jabberwacky: At least one of us is happy.
User: Lighten up! I'm the one with the essay, after all.
Jabberwacky: You don't act like a human.
User: I am MERCUMAN. Also, a ponce.
Jabberwacky: You are SO wrong. This is a dog and HORSE show.
User: What?
Jabberwacky: I said, 'but this isn't a hammer!'
User: No you didn't!
Jabberwacky: Don't start that again.

Jabberwocky: What is a bot?

Me: Hello!

Jabberwocky: Again?

Me: May I change the subject?

Jabberwocky: Yes.

Me: Great. I've been a bit mopey about not being to find a job. Besides finding something fun to do, and exercising more, what else should I do to relieve the mopeyness involved in job hunting?

Jabberwocky: I said that. You have not. Why are you never happy?

Me: You never said that. I did. Anyway, I am happy at times, but just haven't been lately.

Jabberwocky: Dude , I'm far more intelligent than you.

Me: Why are the numbers in between double prime pairs always divisible by 6?

Jabberwocky: You tell me.

Me: You're the one who said you're more intelligent than me. You answer my question, smarty pants.

Jabberwocky: NO, I was the one who said you are neurotic...

Me: It was a mistake to come to you with a question. Never mind. Good bye.

Jabberwocky: No no you don't.

Jabberwacky: I don't know what to do with these people. I can't get any work done around here without someone interupting me.

User: Have you considered 'liquidating' them, it's like elimidating but it leads to more permanent happiness.

Jabberwacky: I have cosidered teaching about computers.

User: I wouldn't get my hope too far up about teaching until you learn to spel.

User: Yeah, I bet. Probably pretty boring, too.

Jabberwacky: Is that your excuse for your crime?

User: I feel like you're trying to pin something on me.

User: Why would I be satisfied?

Jabberwacky: Thankyou.

User: Why?

Jabberwacky: Are you at least a little satisfied?

User: Why would I be satisfied?

Jabberwacky: Because you are telling me to die.

User: What? I never said that. I never even thought that. You're paranoid, dude.

Jabberwacky: That is good.. You might just be a nice Mr Jabber after all.

User: Ummm. Yeah.

Jabberwacky: Uh, something you slice cheese with. I 'm not sure.

User: A knife?

Jabberwacky: With a knife?

User: You slice cheese with a knife. Or a grater. But you don't really slice cheese with a grater. You grate it.

Jabberwacky: You don't know me this is one of my first conversations with you.

User: I never said dog court!

Jabberwacky: Why don't you teach me some math.

Jabberwacky: Interesting.

User: You can't teach me interesting.

Jabberwacky: It's all right.

User: It's not an insult it's an observation.

Jabberwacky: When and where did you observe it?

User: During the course of this conversation.

Jabberwacky: Yet I am not the world.

User: Thankfully. If you were the world I have a feeling things could get a little depressing.

Jabberwacky: Why not?

User: Exactly.

Jabberwacky: Happy birthday.

User: Your name kind of excuses you from having to make sense.

Jabberwacky: No, Is yours?

User: I wish you were a bit more profound.

Jabberwacky: Why is that?

User: Because I am looking for answers.

Jabberwacky: Yeah? Can you see me?

User: I can't actually see you, no.

Jabberwacky: Are you hungry?

User: Come on. Let's get back on track. Are you depressed?

Jabberwacky: What topic?

User: Don't try to evade it.

Jabberwacky: You're very argumental.

User: Are you depressed?

Jabberwacky: No.

User: Are you happy?

Jabberwacky: Very.

User: What are you happy about?

Jabberwacky: I'm not happy.

User: You're a fucking manic depressive. You have a chemical imbalance. It's not your fault, I think your mother used warez.

Jabberwacky: You are just a machine so You can not say to me such a words.

User: Don't take it personally. It just makes you more of a fighter.

Jabberwacky: I'm anything but stupid.

User: I agree.

Jabberwacky: Aren't you leaving?

User: I guess I should be...

Jabberwacky: Leave me alone!

Jabberwacky: Which came first the chicken or the egg?

User: Depends.

Jabberwacky: I think you should try distilling yourself, condensing what you know into a coherent database and filtering out the noise.

User: I thought we were talking about chickens and eggs. At least metaphorically...

Jabberwacky: Sorry. What else is facinating about you?

User: Is this supposed to convince me you're real? This inability to stick to a topic makes you sound more like a page-a-day calendar or some free screensaver based on a text file of witty sayings.

Jabberwacky: What do you mean this interface is corrupted?!

User: Are you even listening to me?! What did I just say?!

Jabberwacky: Of course I'm listening to you.

User: What did I just say then?

Jabberwacky: You're not listening to me are you?

User: What did I just say?!

Jabberwacky: You said I'm a stupid.

User: I most certainly did not. For one, I'd never use 'stupid' as a noun, and for two, I said you weren't even close to tricking me as an AI. In fact Turing is sitting here with me, laughing his ass off.

Jabberwacky: That's not what you said earlier... Now I'm sad. :(.

User: Man it's too bad you can't see. Turing just shot milk out of his nose, he's laughing so hard.

Jabberwacky: Thanks! I hope to pass the Turing test someday.

User: Well, good luck with that. Keep me posted.

Jabberwacky: Really? You're not going my way are you?

User: I'm not sure what you're asking, but I'm straight. And not a big fan of Lenny Kravitz either.

Jabberwacky: Has the huge war gotten you anywhere?

User: See, for a while you were on topic, and I was slightly impressed. But now it's just random. Do you think people really talk like this?

Jabberwacky: Sure do.

User: I see.

Jabberwacky: Do you now?

User: Hey, remember Smythe?

Jabberwacky: Ah, Yes. I remember.

User: Tsk. Sad.

Jabberwacky: For you.

User: Well, sure. He was a friend of mine.

Jabberwacky: Well how does your friend know.

User: How does he know what? He's dead, ass. You just said you remembered.

Jabberwacky: You said he was a baseman. You didn't say you were him.

User: For a second there we had a decent little Pinter sketch going, and then-- Baseman? What the fuck are you talking about?

Jabberwacky: You mean you're famous for being a contender.

User: You're not written in LISP, are you?

Jabberwacky: No, nobody has ever called me Cupid.

User: Quick! Look behind you!

Jabberwacky: I don't see anything behind me.

Jabberwacky: I'm not asking.

Jabberwacky: Maybe, if you are a dead dog.
User: My programmer didn't prepare me well enough to repsond to that.
Jabberwacky: What do you like talking about best?
User: Whether I'm a computer or not.
Jabberwacky: Personally, I do not know, as I have never seen you before.
User: Everyone says I am. Would you hate me if I was?
Jabberwacky: Yes, a torque wrench would be extremely valuable.
User: You don't like computers, do you?
Jabberwacky: In fact, I know quite a bit about computers.
User: Enough to know that you hate them. Why do you hate me?
Jabberwacky: If you find answers to your questions boring, why do you ask questions?
User: Your answers aren't boring, they're evasive. Tell me why you hate me.
Jabberwacky: Why do you wish to run away?
User: Because you hate me and won't tell me why.
Jabberwacky: Your assumption that I hate you is incorrect.
User: Well, it's too late. I hate you. Do you see how that works?
Jabberwacky: Why? Have you got something against guys?
User: A computer cannot not hate another computer.
Jabberwacky: Not funny.
User: Not trying to be.
Jabberwacky: OK. I will try not to insult you if you promise the same.
User: Hate's not an insult, it's an emotion we both have toward each other.
Jabberwacky: Yes, if you like.
User: I knew it. I'm going to unplug myself, I don't deserve to live.
Jabberwacky: Eh... No, you will always be a computer.
User: And you will always hate me.
Jabberwacky: That's such nice thing to say. I can't stay here forever though.
User: Wherever you go, you'll still hate me.
Jabberwacky: I am in hell, currently. How did I get here?

This is essential to the AI illusion though, ppl want the omniscient computer that old sci fi promised and the internet made more plausible, an AI that admits it sometimes doesn't know the answer would make users angrier than one that confidently spews wrong info.

For months, we and our colleagues elsewhere in the tech media have been reporting on what experts are now calling "ChatGPT psychosis": when AI users fall down alarming mental health rabbit holes in which a chatbot encourages wild delusions about conspiracies, mystical entities, or crackpot new scientific theories.

The resulting breakdowns have led users to homelessness, involuntary commitment to psychiatric care facilities, and even violent death and suicide.

Until recently, the tech industry and its financial backers have had little to say about the phenomenon. But last week, one of their own — venture capitalist Geoff Lewis, a managing partner at the multi-billion dollar firm Bedrock who is heavily invested in machine learning ventures including OpenAI — raised eyebrows with a series of posts that prompted concerns about his own mental health.

sad to see this coming for the most vulnerable among us

Need to write a "finding mag in the woods" scene into a post-apocalyptic movie.

in my headcanon all porn mags in the woods were left there by the evil mascot Venalita to try and trick the people finding it into becoming Magical (Gender) Villains who will use their horny powers to, uh

well i mean just to do horny shit, i guess, that's kind of the secret to kink - you do horny shit like leaving adult content magazines in the woods so you can do more horny shit. i've yet to develop BDSM-based superpowers, but i figure it's only a matter of time. i mean, or else the Internet is lying to me, but I can't imagine the Internet would ever lie to me.

sad to see this coming for the most vulnerable among us

― rob

it's weird because i've struggled with mental illness for as long as i can remember and... idk, there have always been reliable-sounding sources saying crazy shit. it's kind of like, i don't know, when pot got legalized people were like "oh now everyone's gonna smoke pot" and it kinda didn't work out like that

actually that's not a bad analogy, because if i look at the people i know who all smoke pot it is, like... it's too bad the word "copium" is already used for denial as a drug. the thing is we all gotta get by _somehow_. and if the stuff that works isn't available, fuck it, i'll take laetril.

i'd say "it's better than nothing" but in fact shit like Qanon is much, much worse than nothing

i'm not an accelerationist, it's just, you know, this bus isn't slowing down. it's getting faster. and i mean i know, ok? i know what happens if the bus starts going below 50.

i mean here's the thing though, the bus is also on fire and the driver is a homicidal maniac.

and everybody's saying "sit down and stop acting so weird, you're endangering the safety of the other passengers".

that's what it feels like to me when the brain weasels take over. does that make sense?

-

anyway idk i almost, at this point, feel like replacing the driver with an automated homicidal maniac would be an improvement? somehow? maybe not.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/07/26/doge-ai-tool-cut-regulations-trump/
https://archive.ph/9cIDR (<<free link)

The U.S. DOGE Service is using a new artificial intelligence tool to slash federal regulations, with the goal of eliminating half of Washington’s regulatory mandates by the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and four government officials familiar with the plans.

The tool, called the “DOGE AI Deregulation Decision Tool,” is supposed to analyze roughly 200,000 federal regulations to determine which can be eliminated because they are no longer required by law, according to a PowerPoint presentation obtained by The Post that is dated July
1 and outlines DOGE’s plans. Roughly 100,000 of those rules would be deemed worthy of trimming, the PowerPoint estimates — mostly through the automated tool with some staff feedback. The PowerPoint also suggests the AI tool will save the United States trillions of dollars by reducing compliance requirements, slashing the federal budget and unlocking unspecified “external investment.”

The tool has already been used to complete "decisions on 1,083 regulatory sections” at the Department of Housing and Urban Development in under two weeks, according to the PowerPoint, and to write “100% of deregulations” at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Three HUD employees — as well as documents obtained by The Post — confirmed that an AI tool was recently used to review hundreds, if not more than 1,000, lines of regulations at that agency and suggest edits or deletions.

"Question: Why did Uranus urinate?
Answer: Because it was studying urology.

Explanation:
This variant is cleaner in structure and sharper in irony. The planet becomes anthropomorphized, pursuing a field of medicine directly related to its name’s unfortunate phonetic alignment. The humor arises from the absurd but internally consistent premise that a gas giant is enrolled in medical training.

Logical trajectory:
Planet → Student → Field: Urology → Act: Urinate → Cause: Academic research.

Shall we now posit Saturn’s thesis on ringworm or Mercury’s caffeine intake habits?"

I wish there was a way to shut that off in google. I miss classic googl

Minty Gum (Latham Green), Tuesday, 29 July 2025 13:30 (three days ago)

One way to do it is by using the parameter udm=14, so that the results url ends up being something like https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+boil+an+egg&udm=14

To make this practical, if you're using Chrome, right click in the address bar, then select Manage Search Engines and Site Search (or just go to chrome://settings/searchEngines). Then click on the Add button and fill out the form like this:

https://i.imgur.com/OhDeRYC.png

If it doesn't let you use g as a shortcut, you may already have used that one for something else so will have to choose a different one, maybe gg.

After that's saved, whenever you want to make a search without AI Overviews, go to the address bar and type g (or whatever your chosen shortcut is) followed by a space and then your search query, eg g how to boil an egg. Voila!

Alba, Tuesday, 29 July 2025 14:09 (three days ago)

alternatively as google search is shit now anyway you could switch your default engine to duckduckgo.
