I tried Chat GPT, at least it engaged:

Why is Windows 11 so slow?


There could be several reasons why your Windows 11 computer is slow. Here are some common causes:

1. Insufficient hardware resources: Windows 11 has higher system requirements than previous versions of Windows. If your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements, it may run slow.
2. Outdated drivers: If your computer has outdated or incompatible drivers, it can cause performance issues.
3. Too many background processes: If there are too many applications running in the background, they can slow down your computer. Close any unnecessary programs and processes to improve performance.
4. Malware or virus infections: Malware or viruses can slow down your computer by consuming system resources. Run a virus scan to check for any infections.
5. Disk fragmentation: If your hard drive is fragmented, it can cause slow performance. Run the disk defragmenter tool to optimize your hard drive.
6. Overheating: If your computer is overheating, it can cause performance issues. Make sure that your computer is properly ventilated and clean any dust from the fans and vents.
7. Faulty hardware: If your computer has faulty hardware components, such as a failing hard drive or a faulty RAM module, it can cause slow performance.

In summary, there could be many reasons why Windows 11 is running slow. Identifying the specific cause of the issue will help you take the appropriate steps to resolve it.

Windows 10 boots faster.

It's possible that your computer is experiencing slower boot times with Windows 11 compared to Windows 10. However, it's also important to note that boot times can be affected by many factors, including the hardware configuration, installed software and drivers, and system settings.
In general, Windows 11 is designed to have faster boot times than Windows 10. Microsoft has made several improvements to the operating system's startup process, including changes to the way that the system loads drivers and services. These improvements are designed to reduce the time it takes for the system to boot and for users to log in to their accounts.
If you're experiencing slower boot times with Windows 11 compared to Windows 10, there may be a number of reasons for this. For example, your computer's hardware may not be optimized for running Windows 11, or you may have installed software or drivers that are incompatible with the operating system. You may also want to check your system settings to make sure that your computer is configured to boot quickly.
In any case, if you're experiencing slow boot times with Windows 11, there are a number of steps you can take to improve performance. These may include optimizing your computer's hardware configuration, updating your drivers and software, and adjusting your system settings to improve startup times.

The answer is, in my case with my last mini-pc, that Windows 11 requires vastly more of your ROM for its exclusive use, also more of your RAM to run, leaving you with a vastly underpowered computer - a bloatware problem. This occurs even after Win 11 has scanned your computer and said it's compatible with an upgrade to Win 11.

At least you got an answer out of a machine, I can't get crap out of the developers and I've been beta testing this overpriced virus with mouse support for a couple of years.

I found an AI Joke generator and here's the result:

A Literotica writer walked into the bar with a new story on his mind. The bartender said, “So, have you thought about the name "Topless Tailgate?"

Our jobs are safe. Very safe.

Here's another joke created by our favorite AI Joke Generator. Punchlines.ai is an AI joke generation tool built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 language models. It was fine-tuned on ten thousand late night comedy monologue jokes.

A guy walked into a nightclub with a beautiful girl on his arm. The guy said, "I want to find the biggest douchebag in here and marry him."

Hopefully this is a harbinger of the death of AI, while at the same time it's a good example of the death of late-night comedy.

There’s More to AI Bias Than Biased Data, NIST Report Highlights​

I think I figured out a plot skeleton for this one, just now while I was out shoveling snow.

Cool.

 

[Duleigh]

That article missed the most egregious forms of bias, the unconscious biases that programmers bring with them as they design their system. There's the "everybody thinks like me" bias. When a team of people work on a project they tend to think the same way. I know when I was a smoker I thought everyone was a smoker, and when I was a drinker, I thought everyone else was drunk on Friday night just like me. I honestly thought that people who didn't smoke and didn't drink were in the minority.

There's also the "I know I'm right, so everyone who disagrees with me is wrong" bias, and the "I know I'm unique so I must be superior" bias.

These are parts of things that can creep into a machine that's incapable of actual learning, all it can do is mimic what is being fed into it.

Speaking of which, this was jarring at best. Wonder what the programmers are focused on...

You can tell that they are not AIs, they are too focused on the subject at hand, AIs that do that tend to repeat themselves over and over. AIs tend to go off the rails like NS trains in Ohio (no, this wasn't political, I'm a railfan taking a shot at a railroad I've never liked)

Oh man, THIS again. On my input, I think AI is best as a tool to get information, the problem is that they are increasingly burning that option. Those kids making essays with ChatGPT is the exact sort of thing to move us forward beyond having to be walking textbooks but slowly the stuff it can do is being curbed to keep some arbitrary barrier.

On a note, I find those people who got attached to AI girlfriends to be sad. Not because they are doing it, but because we reached a point where that sort of thing is considered an option.

And yes, I have seen art and stories written by robots. Funny at times to witness, but I have observed a guy do a bunch of drawings with AI and while at first it got interesting, it quickly died in value because it was all just as lifeless, while another dude with art that was not AS good still gets my financial support. The same thing is for writers, because the only people at risk are those without actual talent.

So I'm good on my job. Most Ai's can't keep their ideas straight for one page of text.

 

[Voboy]

Oh man, THIS again.

Not really. This is a support thread for an event in which we plan to write erotic stories involving AI.

It's not another thread debating the "merits" of ChatGPT.

If you want, you could write a fun story about an AI bot that could keep its ideas straight for one page of text...

Hm, I did have this setting where there was this MMO with ridiculously human AI's.

Also I remember reading a story where people interact online and I could tell halfway through that a girl was actually an AI.

Maybe at best give some tie-in short story for my stuff where such stuff is employed to make some people feel better, but I'm currently in another project. I like to keep my stuff straight.

But yeah, saw too many arguments about that.

I wrote tech fantasy stories where people and AIs didn't interface like Bing's AI but my next one will be about a lovebot AI who is too smart for the game

I'm not going to give AI any credit on that one at all.

I'm in and out of the Mayo Clinic and National Jewish Health often enough to know that Occam's Razor is not just a trite saying, it's a battle cry. I'm sure there was more than one low ranking resident who realized the correct diagnosis but had been beaten down a multitude of times and was afraid to voice his or her opinion. Now a multi zillion Yen program comes along and focuses in on the issue and they listen because it's not a snot nose student and they just paid a lot of money for it.

I'm alive today because one doctor had the courage to say "Hey, there's nothing that says a patient can't have multiple forms of Pulmonary Hypertension at the same time, when Occam's Razor says that this is so rare it's not worth considering.

I’m pretty impressed by Bing’s Chat. I’ve used it three times recently when it’s proved useful

I’ve recently paid my wife’s and daughter’s PhilHealth contributions. Stapled to the receipts was a leaflet describing a new feature called Konsulta, in Tagalog, and neither my wife nor daughter had enquired about it. I asked Bing, which is trained on up-to-date documents. It explained that it was a new feature of PhilHealth which would pay for Primary Care, diagnostics and medications for a range of common chronic illnesses, but the persons had to register with an accredited provider. It then asked if I had the necessary membership details and offered to walk me through the process. Two members of my family are now entitled to completely free health care for their chronic conditions.

I’ve recently bought a welding machine. I asked Bing which would be best for my needs. It proved quite knowledgeable. It introduced me to inverter welders, I’d always used transformers, It discussed specific models, also the type of sticks which would be most suitable for my purpose. I now have a super new welding machine.

The third occasion wasn’t quite as successful. I was woken by a loud clatter on the staircase at 3 am. I found a friend of my son at the bottom of the staircase, legs on the stairs and head on the floor. He smelled of drink and was unresponsive, his eyes turned back, a large swelling coming on the right side of his forehead and no sign of breathing or pulse. He’d fallen backward down the stairs. I didn’t know whether he was dead, or broken his neck or back so there was little I could do to stimulate a response without risking making an injury worse. I did a little PCR then looked on NHS Direct to see the best way to proceed. Their advice was not to wait for an ambulance but to take him directly to hospital as he may be suffering from alcohol poisoning. Not useful advice in the Philippines. I asked Bing. It explained that there may be reasons for his suppressed vital signs, and why it may be difficult to get a result from routine tests of responsiveness. It was when I asked what to do next that I had difficulty. Bing started a long answer giving lots of details, but, as I was reading through it, the answer suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a short message to the effect that it could not give advice on that sort of thing. Anyway, at this point, the drunk started to vomit, so I had to try and turn him into the recovery position to prevent him from inhaling his own vomit. At least he was alive. We had to pull him off the stairs onto the floor where he resisted being turned on his side, so my wife just had to wipe the vomit away from his face as it emerged. He moved both arms and legs, so we knew there was no spinal injury. We pulled him into the sala and sat with him until he showed signs of recovery. His breathing was shallow, he didn’t regain consciousness, but appeared to be asleep. We took a chance that there was no serious head injury and let him sleep it off. It would have been wiser to take him to hospital, but then I’d have been responsible for his medical bills. He woke up about 12 hours later.

PS: After Bing Chat told me it could not give further advice it asked me a question:
'If you could know the answer to one mystery, which would it be?'
That was a little weird - too chatty.

I was reminded of something regarding this situation, Doctors are actually trained on Occam's Razor, they are told over and over "When you hear hoofbeats do not expect to see zebras, look for horses." Having pulmonary hypertension is quite rare, I'm officially considered a "medical zebra" because I was eventually diagnosed with Class 3 Pulmonary Hypertension AKA PH (High blood pressure inside the heart caused by obstructions in the lungs) PH is a very rare condition it primarily strikes women, of which I am not, so that makes me kind of a purple zebra.

The problem occurred when standard treatment didn't work. Class 3 PH is caused by COPD. How? No idea, it was explained to me once and I was lost in a Greek polysyllabic hellscape. I was talking with an Orthopedic PA that was helping me with my screwed up spine (don't get me started), I told her that I felt better in Florida, I didn't have to be on oxygen like I do in Colorado. She said "That sounds a whole like CTEPH." I mentioned that to a new doctor who said, "Lets check it out" and sure enough, I have Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension which is Class 4 PH

Being a male with class 3 and class 4 PH makes me a Checkered Zebra (who is kind of purple). I'm sure an AI would have figured it out, but so did a Physicians Assistant with a little horse sense (she was raised on a horse ranch and leaned veterinary medicine first) who was not beaten down by Occam's Razor.

There's a lot to be said for just listening to patient and figuring out what tests to order for measuring a pertinent detail to their experience.

And listening to the ideas of the interns just out of college. Being a military man I understand the "rank" structure they are using, but I also learned that "fresh eyes" see a problem differently and cannot be discounted out of hand.

So I actually built a website that applies GPT to help write erotica: [Redacted. Please do not add personal website links to forum posts.]

I think it should be viewed as more of a writing tool than a replacement for us.

Just find a Litster and chat 'em up! That'll give you plenty of ammo.
