I asked GPT what this means, and the answer was: The statement seems to be a riddle or a puzzle. Let's break it down: "6x24" likely refers to multiplying 6 by 24, resulting in 144. "12x12" similarly likely refers to multiplying 12 by 12, also resulting in 144. So, "add zero to those" would mean adding zero to 144, which still results in 144. The phrase "and you see a number named in a special book" could be referring to a significant number mentioned in a special book, possibly a religious text or a book of mathematical significance. Then, it mentions that "bitcoin's daily block count is this number as well," implying that the number 144 is somehow related to the daily block count of the Bitcoin blockchain. In summary, the statement suggests that the number 144 is significant in both a special book and in the context of Bitcoin's daily block count. It's an intriguing connection between seemingly unrelated concepts.

Important Yeah it’s weird in that it can describe the math, but had a really hard time doing every step correctly (for simple math). Big models are getting good at actually addition / multiplication though. But anyway, one should always just use a calculator until they are always right.

this is why it's completely delusional to suggest that AI will ever replace humans in our lifetime they are just text and pixel manglers as a programmer, it bugs me immensely that programmers are so stupid as to suggest that programmers can make any use of these things they don't even write templated find and replace generic type code generation properly, they can't even comprehend more than a 100 line function

well I think that AI can replace parts of the more robotic shores humans must execute right now, or maybe most, If not all of them. But there is ONE thing it cannot, EVER, do…to become human. AI should serve as our slave. And I mean it in a litteral sense.

i doubt that they can even do much of that here's the thing: how expensive is the cost of human labor in a kilojoules per dollar cost, versus burning coal/reacting uranium to drive turbines to run an electric grid, easily already a 30% loss of joules versus the direct and efficient combustion of an animal body? how many of these joules does it cost to run the brain of an ai mangling engine? at least as much as 30 people are consuming, and this power is more expensive to produce and distribute
