It highlights the risk of "model collapse," where AI trained on its own output produces increasingly incoherent and nonsensical content. This issue arises from generative AI learning patterns from a vast amount of data, but as it trains on its own output, the quality degrades. The phenomenon is compared to genetic inbreeding, resulting in repetitive and inaccurate information. Solutions proposed include watermarking AI content and incorporating more human-generated data in training models. For more details, visit the original article. karbytes What is meant by "dominate the Internet"? ChatGPT In the context of the article, "dominate the internet" means that AI-generated content becomes the primary type of information available online. This scenario implies a significant reduction in human-created content, leading to a situation where most articles, videos, and social media posts are produced by AI. The concern is that this could lead to a decrease in content quality and originality, as AI systems might recycle their own outputs, resulting in repetitive and less reliable information. karbytes Did you mean objective "reduction in human-created content" as in deletion of such content or did you mean to imply something else? ChatGPT In this context, "reduction in human-created content" does not imply deletion but rather a significant decrease in the production and visibility of human-generated content relative to AI-generated content. This shift means that AI-generated material could overshadow human contributions, making it more difficult for human-created content to gain attention or be found on the internet. karbytes Summarize the following article: https://phys.org/news/2024-07-propagating-entanglement-button.html ChatGPT [Searched 1 site] The article discusses a breakthrough by scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in reliably creating entanglement between stationary and flying qubits using a setup with rubidium atoms and photons. This method involves using optical tweezers to control the atoms and mirrors to enhance photon interaction. The technique achieves near 100% efficiency and could significantly advance quantum networks and computing by enabling robust long-distance quantum communication and scalable quantum computing systems. For more details, visit the original article. karbytes What is meant by "entanglement between stationary and flying qbits"? I am especially interested in what is meant by "entanglement". ChatGPT In quantum physics, "entanglement" refers to a phenomenon where two or more particles become linked and instantaneously affect each other, regardless of the distance between them. "Entanglement between stationary and flying qubits" means creating a quantum connection between a stationary qubit (an atom or particle at rest) and a flying qubit (a photon or particle in motion). This linkage allows information to be transmitted instantaneously across distances, crucial for developing quantum networks and computing. For further details, visit the original article. karbytes Are you suggesting that such entanglement between stationary and moving particles (physical or virtual) makes it possible for digital files to be sent from source network node to target network node faster than the speed of light traveling through a vacuum? ChatGPT No, entanglement does not allow for faster-than-light communication. While entangled particles influence each other instantaneously, this correlation cannot be used to transmit information faster than the speed of light. Instead, entanglement is used for secure and efficient data transmission in quantum networks by ensuring that the state of one particle is known once the state of its entangled partner is measured, without violating the speed of light limit. karbytes What, if anything, is being transmitted faster than the speed of light limit (with regard to the aforementioned qubit entanglement described by the article I most recently shared with you)? ChatGPT Nothing is transmitted faster than the speed of light in the context of quantum entanglement. Entanglement creates a correlation between particles such that the state of one particle instantaneously affects the state of its entangled partner, regardless of distance. However, this does not involve the transmission of information or signals faster than light. The phenomenon is about the instantaneous connection or correlation, not about sending data or physical objects at superluminal speeds. karbytes How is it known that a state change in one particle, A, which is in quantum entanglement with another particle, B, causes that other particle to instantaneously change its state? ChatGPT It is known that a state change in one particle (A) affects its entangled partner (B) instantaneously through experiments in quantum mechanics. These experiments measure the properties of entangled particles at separate locations. The results consistently show that the measurement of one particle’s state directly correlates with the state of the other, even when separated by large distances. This correlation occurs faster than any signal could travel between the particles, implying an instantaneous effect, though no actual information or signal travels between them. karbytes Describe in detail how such experiments are performed and what time keeping devices are used. ChatGPT How Quantum Entanglement Experiments Are Performed Setup and Procedure: 1. Source Creation: Generate pairs of entangled particles using methods like spontaneous parametric down-conversion (for photons) or trapping and cooling atoms. 2. Separation: Send the entangled particles to different locations using optical fibers or other means. 3. Measurement: At each location, measure specific properties (e.g., polarization for photons or spin for atoms) of the particles using detectors. 4. Correlation Analysis: Compare the measurement results from both locations to check for correlations that exceed classical expectations, confirming entanglement. Timekeeping: - Atomic Clocks: Highly accurate clocks that use the vibrations of atoms (like cesium or rubidium) to keep time, ensuring precise measurement synchronization. - GPS Time Synchronization: Synchronizes the timing systems at different locations using signals from the Global Positioning System. - High-Speed Electronics: Ensure minimal delay in the detection and recording of events. Experimental Verification Experiments like those performed by Alain Aspect in the 1980s and subsequent advancements have used these techniques to demonstrate that measurements on entangled particles exhibit correlations that violate Bell’s inequalities, suggesting the instantaneous nature of entanglement.

If that (or this) is a "filibuster", then what is not a "filibuster"? What is not a "filibuster" is what is classified as being "not a waste of time, energy, and attention". An example of a "non-filibuster" is creating, publishing, and archiving a digitized piece of intellectual property which the author of that piece is genuinely satisfied by bringing into existence and preserving. An example of a "filibuster" is spending one's time in jail merely sleeping instead of reading books and doing yoga. Do any people wish your life was filled with more "filibusters" and fewer "non filibusters" than what it either has genetally been during the past six months or what you prefer it to be? I think the probability that at least one person throughout all time wants my life to be filled with more "filibusters" and fewer "non filibusters" than what it either has genetally been during the past six months or what I prefer it to be is greater than zero (but not by a significant enough factor for such a notion to cause me crippling anger, anxiety, or depression). Do any people at this time wish your life was filled with more "filibusters" and fewer "non filibusters" than what it either has genetally been during the past six months or what you prefer it to be? My answer to that question is the same answer I provided to your previous question. What would you do if that probability increased to a degree you find to be significant enough to cause you crippling anger, anxiety, or depression? I would first attempt to relocate to an environment I feel that I have a sufficiently high enough chance of thriving in (or at least surviving in without having to resort to committing violence against myself or other people). If that attempt fails sufficiently many times or I feel that such attempts are not likely to be successful, then I presume that I would resort to committing suicide, homicide, or both (though I prefer to save my own life at the expense of any other life). If I am unable to exert enough agency to do those things I described in the previous two paragraphs, then I suppose I will act defeated and very depressed, angry, and full of dread about every waking moment and while experiencing a profound lack of control over my own life and physiological and mental state. Such an existence would be so lacking in satisfaction for me (especially in pertinence to autonomous goal-setting, goal-oriented decision-making (and resulting behaviors), and continuous learning within the context of such goal-setting and attempts at goal-acquisition) that I would likely honestly call my life at that point in time an extended "filibuster" (i.e. an experience not worth experiencing due to that experience being profoundly unsatisfying to experience). It is important to note that an experience, X, which would be classified as a "filibuster" by one person (who experiences X or imagines experiencing X), A, might be classified as a "non filibuster" to some other person (who experiences X or imagines experiencing X), B (given that X is a phenotypically identical experience when rendered by either A or B). * * * more_bonus_material * * * The following text was copy-pasted from a conversation which karbytes had with ChatGPT-4o on 26_JULY_2024 at approximately 11:30PM Pacific Standard Time.
