#orac — Public Fediverse posts

Congratulations to the newly appointed members of the #ORCID Researcher Advisory Council (ORAC)!

We'd like to introduce Leonardo Candela of the National Research Council of Italy who will serve his first two-year term beginning in March.

Voice assistants ought to be like Orac from Blake's 7; rude but helpful, mostly harmless. LLM chatbots with text-to-speech-to-text are exactly the opposite; polite but unreliable, and often harmful.

Put a face on a bag of spanners and people think it's alive.
No face and 'a brain the size of a planet' - not alive.

Google has Tensor Processing Units for running machine learning.

I've watched enough Blake's 7 to know that Orac is probably in development.

"Orac's abilities mainly revolved around its abilities to instantaneously access the tarial cells of other computers and either access information or control them remotely. "

#AI will not truly have arrived until someone produces an #ORAC
Complete with bad attitude.

Triphala has a much higher ORAC than its constituent ingredients, and I don't like that.

Is it an artifact of the test we use to determine ORAC? Is it the result of a secondary compound produced by the combination in response to oxidation? Is it just some mistake a chemist made years ago that people never tried to reproduce? WHY!?

Makes me regret eschewing chemistry in favor of more pure things. I didn't appreciate how much of modern life is chemistry / math is seductive af 😭

Just finished rewatching Series 1 of Blake's Seven 💫, and Orac appears in the final episode ... though I'm sure his voice changed later on. Also he appears to have 4 USB slots (?) which was good in 1978.

If you can overlook cheap sets and props and that it's a bit "Shakespeare in Space", there's a lot of good things. Paul Darrow (Avon) and Jackie Pearce (Servelan) both magnificent. Stephen Greif (Travis, in S1) too.

#Blakes7 season 1 finale: #Orac

Blake and Cally teleport to the surface of the planet Aristo, which looks like a quarry. There is an #obelisk.

Blake: "Some sort of obelisk, I suppose."

Apart from this one line of dialogue, no further reference is made to the obelisk and its purpose is never explained.

Was the obelisk in the script? Or did it just happen to be standing in the quarry for some random reason, and it is Gareth Thomas, not Blake, who makes the remark?

Watched a bit of #Blakes7 where they are playing a kind of Monopoly variant with #Orac (the super computer) - made me think that sometimes with these programmes, I’d like an episode where there’s no threat, just fun & laughter 😆

I made a thing, probably only funny to a certain generation....

Can every one just stop going on about AI.
Get back to me when you have created #Orac
