Gollem-Class AI 

A term coined in March 2023 by Silicon Valley engineers, Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, to describe a new and emerging class of Artificial Intelligence: "Generative Large Language Multi-Modal Model," or GLLMM ("Gollem" for short). This new class of AI uses predictive algorithms to creatively generate new and original output, including music, artwork, poems, etc.

The word comes from a creature in ancient Jewish folklore called the "golem," a clay sculpture brought to life by magic, and employed as a helper of the Jewish people. But the golem always had the potential to turn against its masters. The legend aptly captures the precarious extremes of societally-benefitting good and existential evil presented by this new AI.

They introduced the term in their March 2023 video lecture "The A.I. Dilemma." Their main thesis was to compare this new and emerging AI with the established dangers of "societal entanglement" that older AI technology has already achieved via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. They explained that first generation of AI --called "curation AI"-- has both helpful and harmful impacts on society. And now this next generation of AI --called "creation AI"-- has even greater potential to be even more helpful and even more harmful. They are calling for legislation to control the usage of all forms of the new Gollem-Class AI before it become so deeply embedded in the workings of society that its inevitable entanglement can't ever be untangled.
Because Chat GPT and Bard are both predictive-language programs, capable of generating entirely original works of creativity, they fall under the umbrella of what Harris and Raskin are now calling "Gollem-Class AIs."

Goldemort 

Nickname of Gary Schofield, CEO of Gaia Online. Named as such because:

1. He flooded Gaia's marketplace with quadrillions of increasingly-useless gold to force everyone into spending real money on the site.
2. Like Voldemort of the Harry Potter series who brings trouble to whoever mentions his name, he bans people for merely mentioning his name and/or suggesting that he be fired.
Voldemort has better long-term thinking on how to make himself immortal. Goldemort has short-term thinking with the "big bang for a buck this second, SALE SALE SALE", and drowning users with announcements and recolors because "buyers demand it", even though Gaia is full of minors who can barely make minimum wage.

In short, don't put Voldemort that low. He has better standards.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
