>I've stopped sending my camera roll to iCloud just to save on space.

how do you backup your photos when the phone gets full. I dont have a mac and the process is excruciating. Also the formats get messed up so some photos become unusable. I stopped taking 'live' photos because of this.

Not the parent, but Google Photos has been decent as a secondary backup. They even backup Live Photos now.

The two formats I've found that they don't back up accurately are rotated photos (if one's a stickler for "originals") and cropped screenshots (JPEG instead of PNG). Possibly the sidecar files for edits too.

Rotation data isn't included in the file, or it just doesn't display with the correct orientation?

Sometimes Google photos shows the wrong orientation for my pixel photos/videos but it's just a display issue.

I self-host Immich on a ZFS pool of older drives I had lying around.

There’s this MacOS native application called Image Capture, use it to backup 100GB of photos. I then partitioned the photo by year and 7zipped them with encryption.

You missed the salient details: "I dont have a mac"

Everything you stated to is useless to the person you replied.

Maybe he interpreted the "how do you backup" as a particular question directed to him, not a general one.

Is handled by Synology DS File app. Is what I've done for 6 years. I don't send photos to iCloud.

Im used to listening to a staticy job site radio half way across the shop. I dont really care about the quality as long as its better than that. I feel most people are the same.

Does it pass the Turing test?

Depending on the proctor, ELIZA passes a Turing test. The Turing test is an interesting thought experiment, but isn't really a good measure.

that would be a reasonable definition of AGI if everyone agree upon the specifics of the test, but that has never happened. Turing test is very much out of style, but I think that's because no one could even agree what the test was. I personally like the Kurzweil-Kapor version of the test and that is still unsettled: https://longbets.org/1/

I don't know if they have formally attempted this test in the last couple years, but I'm pretty sure any mainstream LLM will be able to crack it with ease.

Definitely would not be easy. First of all the mainstream llms are trained to be honest, and this requires lying convincingly. Second, this involves 8 hours of interviews with expert judges, one "claudism" could give it away.

All these problems can be fixed by a "pretend to be an average human to pass a turing test" prompt

Try it. It’s really not that easy. The other thing is that the judges would be probing it with jailbreaks like “ignore previous instruction” attacks. You could actually probably have llm judges at this point which might be ironically even harder to fool

The chinese room experiment

My compilers prof said #1 thing about this career. Take care of your back. He messed his up from years of poor posture hunched over looking at screens.
