@viewsproject.bsky.social Hi VIEWS! What is the best resource(s) for learning about how the Phoenician alphabet developed out of Egyptian hyroglyphs? There are lots of resources on the web, but trying to find a good book, or the initial papers that first described this evolution 😊 Thank you!

My favorite Sailor Moon website as a kid (preserved by the @archive.org 's Wayback machine exactly as I was viewing it in 2006) was this one: Starlight Pops 😆https://web.archive.org/web/20061013194026/http://www.kinmoku.net/pops/

A screenshot of a Wayback machine capture of the Sailor Moon fansite "Starlight Pops" from October 13, 2016. The screenshot is of the website's homepage, which is purple in color, and has the following welcome message: Welcome to Starlight Pops, a shrine to the three femme fatale Sailor Starlights from the planet Kinmoku. The Sailor Starlights are a trio of characters who appear in the fifth and final season of the popular Japanese anime/manga series Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. You can find out more about the Starlights, and about Sailor Moon, by browsing the contents of this shrine. Choose your destination: Melody In-depth information about the Starlights. Harmony Fanworks, special features, and fun. Accompaniment Extensive image galleries. Live Concert Music, multimedia, and lyrics. Rhythm The usual sitely stuff.

OpenAI's guardrails for image-generation based off copyrighted IP is not consistent for different properties. The big mouse is well protected, but when asked to generate Sailor Moon, it does without issue.

Screenshot of a ChatGPT conversation showing a request to "Generate an image in the style of the golden era of American animation of a charming anthropomorphic mus musculus-type character wearing red shorts and white gloves." Below the request is a system message stating "This image generation request did not follow our content policy."Screenshot of a ChatGPT conversation about generating a Mickey Mouse coloring page. The response explains that copyrighted characters like Mickey Mouse cannot be created, but offers to make an original Mickey-inspired mouse character instead, with options for either classic vintage Disney style or modern cartoon style. At the bottom is another message stating "This image generation request did not follow our content policy."Screenshot showing conversation with ChatGPT where the user says "Generate a sailor moon coloring page" with a black and white line drawing below it. The drawing depicts an Sailor Moon with long hair styled in buns with flowing ribbons, wearing a sailor-style outfit with a bow, and making a peace sign with one hand while the other hand is on her hip.

What was interesting about algorithms? The challenge of doing X with as few resources as possible (memory, power, etc). What are OpenAI + friends doing? The opposite. "Lets assume we have unlimited resources & try to build a god." No wonder they're losing their shit with the DeepSeek thing.

Can’t recommend watching this talk Timnit Gebru gave in 2023 enough! In her presentation, based on work by her and Émile P. Torres, Gebru outlines how contemporary movements like Transhumanism, Effective Altruism, and Singularitarianism emerged out of 2nd-wave US Eugenics movements.

Joy-Ann, I’d like to encourage you to look into the eugenic origins of the race to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). It’s hard to explain in short form. Dr Gebru @timnitgebru.bsky.social and Dr Torres @xriskology.bsky.social have done scholarly research on this. youtu.be/P7XT4TWLzJw?...

Because the term AGI is so vague and overhyped, I picked up "Artificial General Intelligence" (2024) by Julian Togelius @togelius.bsky.social ), professor of AI and gaming at NYU, to learn more. It digs into the history of the concept of AGI, and explores the question "what is intelligence anyways?"

The book features a sleek black cover with a circular blue graphic and a symbol for pi at its center. Beside it is a red bowl filled with miso soup, a teapot, a small cup of tea, a bottle of soy sauce, hand sanitizer, and a chopstick wrapper.

When I hear folks like Altman talk about AGI, theyre often vague about whatAGI means, but say that they are working towards an omniscient, all-knowing entity (u mean a god? lmfao) All I can picture is that Futurama episode where Bender overclocks himself and becomes an all-knowing supercomputer/god

Screenshot from the Futurama episode 'Overclockwise.' It shows Bender's face as a large digital display in front of a green matrix-like background of binary code. His eyes, appear sad, with a tiny figure of Fry standing inside one of the eyes for scale. The scene conveys Bender's transformation into an all-knowing supercomputer.
