Just finished my @codemash 2023 lightning talk: “Raise Your Hand if you Know the Answer”, a 5-minute, serious & silly look at epistemology & proprioception, how they relate to testing, and why it is important. From conception to delivery in about 30 hours. Had a blast!

Reminder: This Friday, I'll be presenting "More Than That" at 2023!
Bonus: I'm also giving a Lightning Talk called "Raise Your Hand If You Know The Answer" - a serious & silly look at epistemology & proprioception, how they relate to testing, and why it is important.

Also, unknowingly providing good (factual, correct, trustworthy) information along with the bad (because of how/what it "learned" and/or its data set) might be the most "human" thing about ChatGPT.

In the movie, TARS seemed to be "aware" when it was lying or joking. To some degree, ChatGPT does, as well (it won't "knowingly" lie, but you can prompt it lie by asking it to "pretend").

Surprised I haven't seen more folks comparing #ChatGPT to TARS from #Interstellar. Specifically the scenes/dialogue/ideas around its Honesty & Humor settings:

My kids (& I) are big #GravityFalls fans. Tonight I introduced them to “ is a horse”. I made them watch to the end to help develop their sense of humor.

I drew and posted this last year on this day. In many ways, it still seems relevant. Hope it isn’t an evergreen image…

Best part of I’m Too Sexy is your journey when he goes “I’m a model” and you’re like “Got it” but then he says “You know what I mean?” and you’re like “I thought I did but now I’m not sure” but then he goes “I do my little turn on the catwalk” and you’re like “Okay I did get it.”

In case you look for something unique, hand-crafted, and fully customer oriented. Maybe give a commission to for his idrawstrangers.com service.
When you have seen Damian’s art over the years, you know you will get first class results.
What are you waiting for?

(The parent Tweet still works if you replace #ChatGPT with “burger”, “movie”, “application”, or really most anything else.)

I briefly tried #ChatGPT & had a reaction to it. But before I shared my reaction with others, I wondered “Why (did I have that reaction)?” My reaction was either same as, similar to, or different than some existing expectations. But where did those expectations come from?
