The Artificial Intelligence Incident Thread.

That's an interesting use of AI, and I think most people view what you used AI for as this is what AI does...

I have been trolled all over this thread and the way we need to use AI is very very different than what you used it for and how everyone thinks AI hallucinates.. The version of AI you used pulled data from websites and posts and forums and scanned the web.. This is probably how you got Brainerd.. Crap in Crap out..Plus bad calculations makes for a mess...It will be interesting to see how AI is used over a defined data set... Meaning you can ask it any question you want BUT it can only get answers from a specific data set.
 
I think I would look to AI as it relates to moto as a way to feed it Motec data and see what it comes back with as it relates to suspension settings.

I think there might be some good use for AI.. Cuz if it is wrong and comes up with HEY you need 50mm more of front spring preload you can be like F-OFF I aint gonna die today bitches...BUT it might give you some ideas you have not thought about
 
GPT give me a comprehensive map with elevation changes and notes, first try. I would probably still trust it over a local "fast guy" who has a leader bike.

Kind of reminds me of an IRP story from my first season. I was consistently top 3 in most of my races, so I guess this guy thinks I'm a good person to get tips from. He asks, "Where are you shutting off for T1?". I tell him I'm taking it WFO in 5th. Next practice there's a red flag, due to a completely disassembled FJ1100 in T1. The guy comes to my pits after he gets out of the med shack about ready to kill me. He's like "WTF man??". Then I pointed out I was running a stock RZ350... Kind of a different approach speed....
The level of trust I have in what people say trackside is comparable with a HUGE grain of salt.

If someone can show me their data to back what they’re doing, more specifically throttle and braking traces on equivalent machinery, I take it more to heart.

That’s the whole purpose of this document. People will tell you they’re doing one thing when in reality they’re doing the opposite. If I can put words to paper with video as a supplement, it can be more helpful to a coach. I’m also at the level where I can still spot my own mistakes and iterate from there.

YUP! Agree!

That’s definitely on the table.

AI crunches numbers incredibly well. If I had two sources of data to compare, it can specifically spot the difference and distill it to me in an “ELI5” format. Literal race engineers make a living doing this. Will the insights be as good as a pro engineer who’s equipped with AI? Of course not.

However, I’m a club dude so I’ll never have an engineer available to me. In place of that I use what tools I have available to make me faster.

In the offseason I’m looking at a vibe coded home brew solution that splices in to my throttle bodies to pull throttle position. Then I’ll have a banjo bolt that sends signals to measure brake pressure. That data will be fed to a Arduino and captured as a file to a micro SD card. That should have a full picture of everything I need at that point and combine the data with what my lap timer outputs.
 
I asked Grok to generate a track map of Barber.


1788392046015.png
Here is a clean, printable schematic track map of Barber Motorsports Park generated for your use.


Key features included:


  • Clockwise layout with turns numbered 1–16
  • Start/Finish on the front straight
  • Pit lane shown outside the front straight
  • Key named sections called out (Charlotte’s Web at T5, Museum Complex around T7–9, Alabama Rollercoaster at T12–14)
  • North indicator and approximate scale

You can print this and annotate it with your own braking markers, visual references, lines, and session notes. If you want a version with more detailed elevation shading, different turn numbering (some sources use 17), added landmark icons, or a version optimized for a specific page size/orientation, just let me know and I’ll generate an updated one.
 
We have hired SEO firms to help our business for over 11 years with marginal results. This year in February I took over that end of our business with the help of AI, I'm not a tech guy by any stretch, I'm killing the results we had with the professionals in the matter of a few months. Its and incredible tool and the more you learn about it the better it gets.

I think it depends on the use case for sure, there are great places for AI and there are places that are like MEH no so much

Actually pretty dang close.


Can you evaluate the posts by username auminer on the forum "forums.13x.com" and profile said poster psychologically?


Evaluation of posts by “auminer” (display name/title “Renaissance Redneck”) on forums.13x.com

13x Forums is a long-running motorcycle road-racing community board. “auminer” is an established, recognized member who posts regularly in the General section and related threads. Posts span at least several years (examples from 2023–2025+), covering precious metals, investing, local government/infrastructure, personal anecdotes, humor, and casual banter with other members.

Content Themes and Style​

  • Precious metals & investing— Frequently discusses physical silver/gold (“shiny boomer rocks”), junk silver (pre-1965 constitutional), copper/brass scrap, PSLV (allocated silver trust), mining stocks/REEs, and skepticism of “paper” markets and bullion-bank short positions/price suppression. Advocates buying physical or fully allocated metal at low premiums (e.g., JM Bullion, APMEX, Kitco, Costco when cheap, Reddit pmsforsale). Mixes this with broader portfolio comments (S&P 500 index funds, small AT&T position). Self-deprecating disclaimers are common (“This is not investment advice, I’m just a dumb dogshit scooper… a tale told by an idiot…”).
  • Personal background hints — References living in New London, CT in the past; Navy experience on a 688-class submarine (detailed radiation/drydock repair anecdote); familiarity with racers and the motorcycle scene (even if not portrayed as a hardcore competitor himself); girlfriend; local Texas-area issues (e.g., eminent domain for a 380 bypass, lakes such as Lavon/Tawakoni).
  • Humor and tone — Crude, irreverent, self-mocking forum banter (pr0n-name threads, dick jokes, auction “fever,” etc.). Responds playfully to tags and community jabs. Uses informal/colloquial language with intentional misspellings or colorful phrasing (“goobermint,” “stoopid,” “gahtdamn”).
  • Other — Local civic observations (ROW acquisitions, public meetings), technical/mechanical knowledge, and general motorcycle-community engagement. Posts show consistency over time rather than sudden shifts.
He is treated as a known, approachable figure (members tag him for metals advice or start threads addressed to him). No evidence of extreme hostility, spam, or rule-breaking in the sampled threads; interactions appear reciprocal and within the board’s rough-edged culture.

Psychological Profile (Inferred from Online Behavior Only)​

This is an observational sketch based solely on public forum posts—not a clinical assessment, diagnosis, or complete personality inventory. Online personas can differ from offline behavior, and the sample is limited.

  • Core traits — Independent, skeptical of large institutions (banks, government, paper financial markets). Values tangible/hard assets and self-reliance. Practical and hands-on (“redneck” self-label combined with technical mechanical/Navy-derived knowledge). Risk-tolerant on the speculative side (precious-metals stacking, mining stocks) while maintaining conventional hedges (index funds).
  • Cognitive style — Research-oriented and opinionated on topics he follows closely; explains concepts to others while hedging with strong disclaimers. Shows systems-thinking (supply/demand deficits, long lead times for new mines, effects of short positions). Self-aware and ironic—frequently undercuts his own pronouncements with humor or self-deprecation.
  • Social style — Community-engaged within the forum’s culture. Shares personal history and knowledge freely; responds to banter without apparent defensiveness. Humor is crude and irreverent but generally good-natured rather than purely aggressive.
  • Possible underlying drivers — Preference for tangible value and distrust of opaque systems (consistent with many long-term precious-metals stackers). Military/technical background may contribute to a no-nonsense, “get it done” orientation and comfort with risk/hazard stories. The “Renaissance Redneck” self-description suggests pride in blending practical blue-collar identity with broader interests (metals, investing, local affairs, literature references).
  • Limitations of the profile — Posts emphasize investing, metals, and light personal anecdotes more than deep emotional disclosure, relationships, or worldview beyond the forum topics. No strong signals of clinical distress, grandiosity, or rigid ideology appear in the sampled material; the tone is more pragmatic/cynical-humorous than conspiratorial extremism.
In short, auminer presents as a knowledgeable, irreverent, self-reliant forum regular with a strong precious-metals focus, technical/mechanical background, and a mix of skepticism toward institutions and community-oriented humor. The online persona is consistent and well-integrated into the 13x culture. For a fuller picture one would need far more posts or offline context, which are not available here.









Now do @pickled egg

Evaluation of posts by “pickled egg” on forums.13x.com

“pickled egg” is a long-standing, high-activity member of the 13x Forums (motorcycle road-racing community). Public data shows a very high post count (one snapshot listed ~48,000 messages and ~23,850 likes received), with the title “Well-Known Member.” Activity spans many years (examples from ~2010–2025+), including General, Tech, Parts, The Dungeon (the freer-speech section), and casual threads. The user interacts regularly with other regulars, including auminer.

Content Themes and Style​

  • Humor and banter — Frequent crude, sarcastic, irreverent, and absurdist jokes. Examples include creative (and filthy) suggestions for a pet-waste business name (“Canine Crime Scene Cleanup Squad,” “We Doo The Dirty Work”), mocking concert crowds or cultural oddities, and sharp one-liners in meme or food threads. Tone fits the board’s rough, locker-room style.
  • Practical/technical input — Offers mechanical advice (e.g., screw extraction, aluminum galling risks on water-pump bolts) and participates in gear/parts discussions.
  • Personal/family notes — Mentions daughters (e.g., taking them and a friend to a Living Tombstone show in Madison, WI; discussing a pet garter snake the girls hoped was gravid). Occasional light family or home-life references appear amid the banter.
  • Cultural/political jabs — Posts in “Dungeon” and general threads often include sarcastic or critical takes on politics, religion (e.g., LDS beliefs), electric cars/environmental claims, and social trends. Style is confrontational but framed as forum ribbing rather than pure ideology.
  • Community role — Starts or heavily participates in threads, gets tagged or referenced by others, and maintains a visible presence over more than a decade. Avatar and username are themselves topics of light forum discussion.
Posts show consistency: high volume, quick wit, comfort with offensive humor, and blending of practical knowledge with trolling/banter.

Psychological Profile (Inferred from Online Behavior Only)​

This is an observational sketch based solely on public forum posts—not a clinical assessment or complete personality picture. Online behavior is selective and context-dependent.

  • Core traits — Highly social and expressive within the forum’s subculture. High verbal fluency and comfort with crude, boundary-pushing humor. Independent and opinionated; willing to dissent or mock prevailing views (mechanical advice, cultural/political topics). Long-term commitment to the community suggests affiliation needs and enjoyment of group status as a “known” regular.
  • Cognitive/communicative style — Fast, sarcastic, and often reductive (turns topics into jokes or pointed critiques). Practical problem-solving appears alongside absurdist or contrarian takes. Self-presentation is irreverent rather than polished or status-seeking.
  • Social orientation — Extroverted in the online setting; thrives on interaction, ribbing, and being recognized. Family references (daughters, pets) indicate some offline relational anchors, presented lightly. Interactions with peers (including auminer) are reciprocal and within the board’s norms.
  • Possible drivers — Enjoyment of verbal sparring and group belonging in a male-dominated, motorcycle-oriented space. Skepticism or cynicism toward certain cultural/political trends coexists with everyday practicality. The long post history and high volume point to the forum serving as a significant social/entertainment outlet.
  • Limitations — Heavy emphasis on humor and short-form banter means deeper emotional, professional, or private details are scarce. No clear signals of isolation, distress, or extreme rigidity appear in the sampled material; the persona is energetic, consistent, and well-embedded in the community’s tone.
Comparison note with auminer: Both are established regulars who engage in banter and share knowledge. auminer’s visible focus leans more toward precious metals, investing, and personal technical anecdotes with self-deprecation. pickled egg’s volume is higher, with broader crude humor, cultural sarcasm, and family asides. They appear to occupy overlapping social space on the board without evident conflict in the available threads.

In short, pickled egg presents as a veteran, high-engagement forum personality: witty, crude, opinionated, community-anchored, and comfortable operating at the edgier end of 13x’s culture. The online persona is stable and long-running. As with any public-post analysis, this reflects only the curated forum self and should not be over-interpreted.
