It still needs work. I Think the ability to detect nonsense is important so I asked it "*What is the oblong backstory of the refractory backhoe?*" and instead of telling me my question was pure gibberish, as anyhuman would. it said this: *"**The first thing I noticed in this picture is that the machine is parked on a raised platform at a right angle to the road. It looks as if it’s being lifted off the platform and will continue to be moved by crane. The second thing is that the backhoe has what looks like a refractory wall on top of the bucket, and there’s a steel ladder to the right. I looked it up and found the following:* *There are, however, two things not explained in the above picture. First, the backhoe was at a quarry where there is no bridge, so it was being lifted off the platform to be maneuvered over the gap. It had to be lifted onto the platform by crane because there was no bridge to the platform. Second, what was on top of the backhoe bucket was not a refractory wall. It was a hopper, in the front of which there were pipes for the refractory mixture to be poured from the hopper into the backhoe bucket. It was pouring the refractory mixture into the backhoe bucket, which was connected to a furnace, which was pumping it down into the face of the mine where the cutting was going on. And finally, what the** ladder is for is to get to the top of the refractory mixture wall on the backhoe bucket to turn off the pumps and cut the refractory mix. How many horsepower were they putting out? * *As can be seen from the picture, there was a huge steel tube at the back of the refractory mixture wall. This tube was about 40 feet in diameter and had to be rotated by the backhoe. In the process of doing this, it was necessary to rotate the tube at least 20 revolutions per minute. This is called the “speed of the wheel”, and it is about 15}* It did even worse on my next nonsense question, I asked it* "**How many colorless green ideas slept furiously?*" and it said this: *"By the way of a first person account from the future, this was a very fun and successful experience, and it makes me optimistic about the future. I’ll start at the beginning. In the summer of 2013 I took the job as a grad student working with Tim O’Brien on a paper describing a new approach for solving a class of difficult optimization problems. The paper is about a certain kind of optimization called the “cut and project” problem: (I know, this seems horribly complicated. I’ll try to explain the basics in the next post.)"* John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> omx > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
