It's simple really. I want to exist because I exist. I exist because I want to exist. This mutually recursive loop belies the bottom of everyone's motivations for everything. All wants and urges, from an evolutionary standpoint, s

Almost. He could have completely side stepped doing any problem solving or mathematical / logical reasoning by applying machine learning to it.

I disagree. If you have knowledge, and you don't try to do anything other than compress it to make space, reasoning about that knowledge will come about by sheer unintended consequence once the patterns your compressing on reach some t

Something I've noticed is that it pays to have a lot of upset conservative viewers. For a liberal audiance, it pays to make them laugh. Compare, for instance, John Oliver vs Tucker Carlson. There's a whole genre of left leaning

What's the difference between stimulant use with a prescription and stimulant use without? A priori why demonize one as abuse and accept the other as legitimate.

I think you might have missed out on learning about the 2d Fourier transform and the meaning of "frequency domain". The standing wave patterns of the feedback loops are exactly the wave patterns you want to decompose the image dat

This is not surprising for several reasons. One of which is Dalle simply can't count. Asking it for 3 of anything will give questionable results. Dalle also doesn't understand relations between objects. It will fail on anything of

I think discrete pipelines is the wrong paradigm. I surmise what is happening is the incoming information is being changed to the frequency domain for much the same reason that many visual and audio filters are implemented in the frequency

Don't blame the video codec. You can observe similar artifacts on non video stimuli. Psychedelics reveal how the brain works, and the brain probably compresses information similar to a video codec.

Thats exactly right, except at least you don't get people walking around saying the sharpen filter "shows you reality like it really is" or "elevates your state of consciousness."

In the contrary, I think kids that self taught most of digital logic years ago are now being accredited for what the game already taught them, and are now doing it for money with silicon rather than redstone.

It's more like a more efficient implementation of Minecraft. It's not wrong or cheating, it's no worse than that one mod that did nothing but optimize the game engine better than the actual Devs.

Factoring in say 10x-100x repetition code for for error correction, existing silicon tech is already damn near to the launder limit. General purpose CPU and GPU architecture has some data flow logistics it could optimize, but ASICs are pret

There's a complete opposite possibility that the rules of the universe are computational, and that our math seems suited to represent it all because any system complex enough to require a turing machine to parse is capable of represent

If you are having this conversation with me then you are a consciousness and I am a consciousness and that's as good a definition of consciousness as we are ever going to get. Consciousness thus defined exists entirely within the commu

I get that this is sarcasm, but one of my idle day dreams is a safe, simple, mostly analog system that does exactly this between a set of moving train cars and the last car on the rear (as a transitional state, the rear car eventually catch

What industry conspiracy are you trying to insinuate? Is it big pharma? Doubt it. Guess who would ultimately own the labs, run the clinical trials, and be first to market with a safe and precise FDA approved antidepressant based on a psyche

Especially since its literally untrue. SQL, with the addition of recursive queries (supported by all since the late 90s AND used in an example within this very article), is Turing complete. There's literally no operation on data that c

If the phone number requirement is the only part you dislike, buy a tourist Sim card with cash. The greatest lie of online identity is that phone numbers are tied to individuals forever.
