Sylvia: Rob, when you mentioned the the term fauxparadox, it reminded me of the classic "chicken or the egg" dilemma. But with modern evolutionary biology, we understand that it's more of a fauxparadox since birds evolved from reptiles, suggesting the egg came first.
Rob: Exactly, Sylvia! It's fascinating how many things we perceive as paradoxes can be clarified with a bit more knowledge or a different perspective. People attach too much weight to what they think is a paradox, when what you have to do is try to solve it with more observation and the scientific method. Most paradoxes are simply hard problems and thought experiments. A Fauxparadox is a playground for grifters the naïve and fools.

Reflexion, is a new method of getting ChatGPT and any autoregressive GPT to check its work, AFTER it generates answer. The answers, now that it is in STM, is used in a prompt, following any generation. It can be used multiple times. Answers get better and there are less are what some people call “Hallucinations”. See: Helper Agent. This was not coined by any symbolic ai scientist.
Tammy: Refection, Ok you made that up! I call BS!?!
Rob: No… its is real… there’s research, it’s reflection with an “X”… REFLEXION makes the AI do recursion. you cna use it to check ChatGPT and get it to tell the truth and corrrect itself… It’s the opposite. It reduces the BS
Tammy: This… you need! Wait. What? Recursion??? That’s amazing!

A person with an insufficient knowledge of math and statistics, who chooses to predict growth of a complex exponential phenomena with linear models and grade school math. See COVIdiot Dunning Kruger, COVID19, and Bad behavior.
Boss, it's not a proposal or a brief, it's a pandemic, people may follow your advice and get hurt or as worse, hurt others. Don't be an extrapolidiot .

The ultimate guide for exposing bad consultants who spin jargon-filled fairy tales. Cuts through the buzzword bingo to reveal if your expensive "expert" is truly strategic or just really good at playing PowerPoint charades.

Q* pronounced Q-Star, is a special subsystem or release from the company openai.com that is said to be a massive advance and capability of large language models because it gives them the capability to use the simple math of grade school students, and to use it to plan things that are much more complex like making cryptographic codes or breaking them. It also allows for much more complex abstractions that are based on mathematics to be planned for and created by llms or generated on top of humans using chatbots.
Holy mackerel I think that we're on the way to something that is really super intelligence based on Q*, that new stuff based on reinforcement learning that got all those CEO replacements done at open AI. I think they may change the world.🤯

We think therefore we are. in Latin. Akin to "Cogito Ergo Sum" from Descartes, but expanded to how communities think and change. Confablamur was used as a term for conversation. This is where the English term confab comes from no doubt. Shakespeare did not coin it.
"Confablamur ergo sumus" , remember that Sarah, we have gone way beyond , "I think therefore I am" . Thinking and not conversing with your peers is like listening to one hand clapping. Good luck with that zester.
