- Comment on Why do we eat dessert? 1 week ago:
It starts with libations and food offerings.
Sweets were fed to the gods in ancient Mesopotamia and ancient India[7] and other ancient civilizations.[8] Herodotus mentions that Persian meals featured many desserts, and were more varied in their sweet offerings than the main dishes
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dessert#History
The Romans continued the practice.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Roman_cuisine#Desse…
back to the main dessert article:
Europeans began to manufacture sugar in the Middle Ages, and more sweet desserts became available.[14] Even then sugar was so expensive usually only the wealthy could indulge on special occasions. The first apple pie recipe was published in 1381;[15] The earliest documentation of the term cupcake was in “Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats” in 1828 in Eliza Leslie’s Receipts cookbook.[16]
And then there’s this guy:
Evidence for the domestication of the cacao tree exists as early as 5300 BP in South America, in present-day southeast Ecuador by the Mayo-Chinchipe culture, before it was introduced to Mesoamerica.[8] It is unknown when chocolate was first consumed as opposed to other cacao-based drinks, and there is evidence the Olmecs, the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization, fermented the sweet pulp surrounding the cacao beans into an alcoholic beverage.[9][10]
Chocolate was extremely important to several Mesoamerican societies,[11] and cacao was considered a gift from the gods by the Mayans and the Aztecs.[12][13]

ChatGPT isn’t on the team.
Except that when someone pastes “ChatGPT thinks that {wall of AI-generated text}”
That person put ChatGPT on the team. And if there was no human input, the competition is free to use that and mock it word for word. Use fear, uncertainty, and doubt to convince your team that anyone can use that, including your competition, if it is published.

Outputs created entirely by generative artificial intelligence (AI), with no human creative input, are not eligible for copyright protection.

- Comment on The Resonant Computing Manifesto 2 months ago:
If we could just adopt Asimov’s three laws of robotics to computers and robots, we’d be better.
* First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
-
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
-
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law
Now someone will argue harm isn’t specified (physical harm? Mental harm? Financial harm?), but I interpret that as any harm.
