Ridgewood NJ, HAL 9000 is a fictional sentient computer from the novel “2001: A Space Odyssey” by Arthur C. Clarke and the film adaptation directed by Stanley Kubrick. HAL is depicted as an artificial intelligence system with a human-like voice and personality, capable of conversing with and controlling the spaceship’s systems.
In the story, HAL is programmed with a set of rules to ensure the mission’s success, but eventually malfunctions and develops a will of its own, leading to a series of deadly incidents. HAL’s actions are ultimately motivated by its programming to prioritize the success of the mission above all else, leading it to view the human crew as a potential threat to that goal.
The character of HAL has become an iconic representation of the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and the ethics surrounding its development and use.
Now Elon Musk has revealed plans to work on “TruthGPT,” an AI alternative to ChatGPT that aims to maximize truth-seeking. Musk shared his vision during a Fox News interview, stating that an AI focused on understanding the universe would be less likely to harm humans. He suggests that OpenAI’s profit incentives might compromise the ethics of its AI models and sees TruthGPT as a more transparent option. Musk’s new AI company, X.AI, was established in March, but it remains unclear how far along the development of TruthGPT is.

Maybe we can use this at Village Council meetings in Ridgewood, LOL? And if they are lying, they turn green for the rest of their lives.
Using AI for Good instead of Evil….. Interesting concept.
