How Chat GPT works technically for beginners

Here are some advancements and considerations worth analysing:

Irrelevant?? … think again.

When you see a World in CRISIS ….. You point the finger at where the money and ‘mafia’ CONTROL is … and keep pointing it … until they step down and new Controllers who are NOT NAZIS … are back in positions of Western Authority … at ALL LEVELS of our once FREE Societies. … that used to exist in our Commonwealth until EXTREMIST LEFTISTS took over … and refused to respect the VOTE … and majority mandates.

They imposed and bullied “Minority Rule” at that point.

When they stop, … and TRUE DEMOCRACY IS RESTORED … new rules and ideas(Brexit/Trump) and directions respected by certain factions … without anarchic LEFTIST destruction … I’ll be able to stop … and move on.

This Forum gets new viewers daily … so we have to keep reiterating points … you do it ad nauseam on Ukraine … so we have to keep countering with a new version of ‘the TRUTH’.

…. So get up to speed on the implications of Chat GPT AI.

The rot seemed to be setting in around the 1970s. It's to do with psychology. The brain has an emotional type of processing and a more sophisticated logical reasoning part of it, as per the pre-frontal cortex, which is also responsible for ethics. People today wrongly think ethics is to do with emotions and feelings, but in fact it is rational, e.g. the idea of fairness and balance requires computation and reasoning. The education system I went through in the early 70s was trying to alter the way we were taught in a skewed way which related everything to feelings, not reason. Reason was downplayed, and only really still in the sciences at this time. The books provided for us in the library were all these fairy tale type books which I myself had zero interest in because they just did not give me what I was looking for, which was a technical understanding of how things worked. Indeed the only things I would ever read were technical books and specialist magazines which I obtained myself outside of school, and it was because the only books available at school were these nonsense story books that my English was really had. My conception at the time was the books provided were written in such a way that felt foreign to me. I'd come from a middle class background and felt I as a child should and did want to grow up and do stuff adults did, but the books were kind of treating us as though they wanted to push us backwards and into weirdness, which in part I felt was a fair degree gay or girlish. They had no books that catered for boy's interests. I had few books at home, but the ones I did have I studied from cover to cover, including an encyclopaedia on how stuff worked. The English teacher once asked, well what dooo you read then, and was rather taken aback when I gave an honest answer. In retrospect, I had forgone an education in English but escaped the brainwashing so had a clear mind, but not the world's best bullshitter. I did not have all this airy fairy language ability, but I could get stuff to work. Even as a child I was earning many times what people starting a job would be paid per hour. My skills were in demand. 

I think the think which really blew the establishment's mind though was when I took my A levels I invented a radar controlled safety braking system for cars. The idea is it would use a computer to slam the brakes of a car on if it was about to crash into something in front of it. It would do the braking of last resort if the car was heading into a critical situation where unless the brakes were applied the car would inevitably hit the thing in front no matter what the driver did after that. The system also had anti-lock braking by measuring the speed of wheel rotation. This was even before ABS was on the market as I remember ABS came quite a few years later and I thought, ah, they are catching me up! The reason I did this project was we had a teacher who predicted I would get an E grade at A level because the design course we were in was like many things, veering towards design of things that looked good, not traditional engineering design. Anyway, we were free to choose the final year's A level project and the teacher on that course was at least enthusiastic and well-read, plus I had to think of something because the teachers were giving this, "he's going to fail everything" shit to parents at those PTAs and the shit was coming back on my family life. 

Anyway, I proceeded to design and build this system and got most of it working. I was going to use a Z80 to do the computations so I got as far as being ready to program that when the deadline hit, but I had all the calculations worked out and had programmed a simulator on a BBC micro computer to check the system would work as designed. The teacher was actually impressed with it and seemed to change his mind about his predicted E grade which of course by that time had already been sent to the universities I had applied to where teachers would often predict a grade one higher than the one they thought the applicant would get. So from being the world's worst student, having built this thing the external examiner came along and said he was totally blown away. He told my teacher it was the best project he had ever seen and used the word genius to describe me. His mark was 100%. He really did think it was out of this world, and I guess that had something to do with such system being 25 years ahead of the entire world.

Anyway, after that the teacher said great stuff, we will enter it for Young engineer of the Year. So we all went to the local venue this nationwide engineering competition for students was being held and it was at Brunel University and there was Heinz Wolf there presenting it. Most people there had really flashy artwork with big exhibition displays of their project. My stand on the other hand had what looked like the innards of a research lab on it with a folder of 500 pages of calculations and programming stuff and various bits of physics. My writing was awful too, but I was able to demonstrate its operation. Two people came to the stand. The first one was a journalist who did not understand the technology but loved the idea and was very encouraging. Very few adults treated me with any respect so I was very grateful for his kind words. The second person was a professor from the university, but he was totally cold and looked at it with suspicion. I pointed to a part of the system and said this an X band microwave Doppler shift unit with a horn antenna and a Gunn diode cavity resonator. He just did not believe it and told be quite rudely to take the lid off it to prove it, and inside was exactly what I said it was, so he just walked off in a huff looking rather stupid. The winner of that regional competition was some culinary device for hardboiled eggs. I've never seen any such thing in production, but autonomous braking systems I think came onto the market about ten years ago and they were from the Far East if my recollection is correct. 

So to conclude, after those failure predicted grades went into the universities I got five straight rejections. Everyone at my school got at least 4/5 offers, but many failed badly. I managed to get the kind of results that would get you into a top university and got in to the second place I phoned up on the clearing system. What a way to start though, and if I ever call these people fuckwits, it is not without good reason. This was the 1980s. I knew the UK would crash and burn after that. It's why I never wasted my time with them and started my own firm.
