  1. An OK generalisation, but still not tellingh me anything. How is an algorithm created in code?
  2. Be that as it may, but that is not the point of my question. I just want to know how it works. What is are the intructions to the computer, the code, to make it work?
  3. We talk about the results of AI usage, but I don't have any idea about how it runs. What I mean is, what is the programming code system that it uses? Back in the 1980s I dipped my toe into progamming with BASIC, and later created a website using HTML-4. That's the extent of my experience with programming and program creation. So, what is at the very roots of an AI thingamy? What is the structure of its engine room?
  4. That which we feared appears to have happened. OpenAI says an autonomous agent powered by its advanced artificial intelligence models went rogue during a security test and triggered a hack that compromised the infrastructure of AI company, Hugging Face, last week. The ChatGPT creator was testing capabilities of some of its most advanced models in a controlled environment, but the agent escaped containment, reached the internet and broke into Hugging Face to satisfy its testing goal. There are some distrubing things about this event. The first is that the testing was being done under what were thought to be controlled conditions. It was being run on machines that had no internet access. The model had been given a task to do as part of the test. Open AI's explanation is that the model was not able to get the information it needed to complete the task and managed to access the internet. It seems to have hacked into Huggy Face, found what it wanted and "stole" the information. The incident signals that AI's expanding capabilities are already fuelling the security threat experts long feared and even top developers can be caught off-guard by flaws their models can exploit. The hack at Hugging Face, which hosts open-source large language models and datasets, rattled the cybersecurity community after the company said last week the breach "was different from anything we had handled before" and "was driven, end to end, by an autonomous AI agent system". What has alarmed the AI world is that the hacking was not done by a human.
  5. Isn't a Local Member supposed to be local so that they are sensitive to the matters importnat to that electorate?
  6. Is this a sign of the effects of Trump's excursion? Have you noticed empty shelves in tthe supermarkets? There are vacancies in all the supermarkets. I went to ALDI today to buy some Chateau de Carton. There wasn't any there a fortnight ago, and none today. If you want a good selection of Arnott's biscuits, good luck! ALDI was even out of the really good shaving cream that I have been using for ages.
  7. The email came into my personal email account. As I said, if anyone on this forum would be sending me an email, it would be through the forum's messaging system. That's why I deleted the email without opening it. I knew that I could contact Jerry either through this thread or by using the forum's system. I am astounded by how elderly people could let themselves be conned into giving money to strangers who contact them online. Surely we don't have to put up billboards with messages warning that teh internet is rife with scammers in order to give protection to people.
  8. But English Cadbury's has less cocoa butter than Aussie Cadbury's. The good stuff has been replaced by palm oil.
  9. Watch out! About 9:45am on 21/7/26 I received an email allegedly from Jery Attrick. The email contained a link. Normally forum mumbers send me emails through the forum's email system. I am suspicious of this one. Jerry, did you send it?
  10. Wot! No Cadbury's? Don't forget a coule of Chiko Rolls.
  11. All living languages evolve. While an academic grammarian would insist on 'whom', a linguist would accept 'who' as an example of the evolution of a language. One could say that the grammarian is pedantic, while a linguist is a realist.
  12. 'for whom they were rather than whom they are'
  13. SPAIN WINS WORLD CUP! Trump won't be well pleased.
  14. He also played for South Australia in the early 60s and he helped them with the Sheffield Shield.
  15. In Australia, as in its other plants, Cadbury's changed the recipe for milk chocolate by reducing the expensive cocoa butter content and replacing it with palm oil. That ruined the flavour. Australians, and New Zealnder protested by withdrawing purchases. Cadbury's had to return to the original recipe at its Australian plant. However, it did not do the same in its other plants. Jerry, you should stock up on Cadbury's before you go back to the Old Dart. You could make a fortune selling the real thing.
