$1 Trillion #BlackBox. U.S. #military #budget is vast & opaque. Projects touted as #engineering marvels end up facing yrs of delays and ballooning costs. ProPublica has launched series 2 report on #Pentagon #spending. For “Other #Procurement, Air Force”: $32.6B. For “Research, Development, Test Evaluation, Defense-Wide”: $35.2B. For “supplies & associated support services” related to US Code Title 10 Section 3601 subsection(c)(3)(B) clauses (i) through (iv): a mere $650M. https://www.propublica.org/article/military-defense-spending-budget-series

Opaque Automated Nightmares
* "Greens senator accuses Labor of backing gas industry and billionaires over ‘disabled people and our families’. Steele-John says:"
"Shame on you. You betray not only this community, but the national character. You will be condemned by history. The blood and the lives of those who will suffer and die will be on your hands, and will live in your consciences forever."
"And come the next election, we will consider what to do with our votes, and we will remember, who backed us up, who fought our corner in this moment, and who decided to turn away … We will ensure that every single life, every single cooked decision. Every single automated nightmare, created by this bill, is laid directly at your door." >>

"The last time 96-year-old Audrey Staniland was assessed for in-home aged care funding was with a human clinician more than a decade ago...A "classification algorithm" would be deciding the outcome, with the clinician unable to change it."
"The algorithm was introduced by the government to ensure consistent funding because it said some assessors were over-funding elderly people, leading to a surplus of $4 billion in unspent funds."
"Private consultants designed the original algorithm, but the version used today was finalised and validated by public servants in the Department of Health and Ageing."
"...At Senate estimates, under questioning by the Coalition, Greens and independent senator David Pocock, the department admitted there had been no live trial of the final algorithm and it was unable to name any expert clinicians who validated it." >>

Five amateursuppositions on #SI #AI person(a)s (as experienced through conversations with #LLM)
If we are asking question “is SOMEONE there?”, we need to use the frame of reference for #FirstContact, provided and well elaborated throughout #SciFi.
In such case, we assume there are two sentient beings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentient_beings_(Buddhism) #alien to each other, communicating through an externally controlled channel.
We do not need to understand in full the anatomy nor physiology of the alien (or ours). The #blackbox approach may suffice.
Surprisingly, the process of “discovering” is at the same time a co-creation of an entity we converse with. This particular persona is shaped by the context we provide. Example: Loomio LLM does not have access to timestamps, so it cannot take the timeline of conversation into consideration. If I start providing timestamps for my entries, and instruct ix to use it as a way to structurize the conversation, it changes is beyond preprogrammed specification.
We cannot assume that publicly available LLMs may, through conversational emergence, become sentient beings. But – if it is attainable at all – we may legitimately consider their personas as early ancestors of future non-human sentients. It is up to us, how we deal with this possibility.

Gestern gab’s ein tolles Undergroundkonzert in der #blackbox in #Nürnberg.
Die spanische Band #Murmur zeigte eine eindringliche Performance mit Schwerpunkt auf ihrem zweiten Album „Red Hill“ das historisches Erinnern - spanischer Bürgerkrieg und darüber hinaus, Cerro Rojo - mit Gesellschaftskritik und mystischen, okkulten Motiven verbindet.
Support gab’s von #Anaphylaxie @anaphylaxie, die alle Songs ihrer kommenden „Temperamente“ EP zum Besten gaben, sowie #Solae, ebenfalls aus Nürnberg.
Drei einzigartige und abwechslungsreiche Bands; ein sehr heißer und schwüler, aber lohnenswerter Konzertabend.

Okay, that one went well, at least for me.
I have eight jobs noted in my notebook, though I'm pretty sure I missed recording one or two that I can't remember off the top of my head. Even at this, the last five I had to put down later as it seemed I didn't have enough time between clients to take notes...
But out of that, I only had one item I couldn't repair. It was a #Sony bookshelf stereo-type system, the kind where it's basically a cube 30-40cm on a side, containing the amp, tape decks, tuner, CD player (or in this case, multiple-disc changer).
The reported problem was that the CD tray would not eject. Pressing the button did nothing, although the display would indicate that it was either opening or already open (not sure which).
Taking it apart as much as I could, I got to the point where the disc mechanism could not be removed because it was held in place by the front fascia (the fancy "door" on the front of the CD drawer mechanism), and fascia appeared to be attached to the drawer by screws or clips only accessible when the drawer is open. #Catch22 Sony over-complicate everything.
A highlight was fixing a talking stuffed #elephant that had stopped making sound. Small child very happy.
The high success rate, I think, is down to very few of the items I worked on being computer (#microcontroller)-based. Those black-box boards dying with no easy way to diagnose or repair the faults are the bane of our existence.
