While I basically agree with everything you say, I have to add some caveats: ChatGPT, while being as far from true AGI as the Elisa chatbot written in Lisp, is extraordinarily more useful, and being used for many things that previously requ

I would advise you to ignore yapyap's definitions. Paul Graham has defined woke in the best way I have read so far, and it is in the article we are discussing about: Woke: An aggressively performative focus on social justice. (Performe

That's not true. Anything modal editing can do, I can do with Sublime Text, and some things I can do, for example having thousands of cursors simultaneously adding code, can't be done in Vim. If you know how to use your tools, the

No, by being in a plane, the seven planets form a polygon. If you are in a planet, there is a line to any other planet. Two planets form a line. Three planets form a triangle. Four planets form some irregular polygon of four sides. And so o

Because there is not a limbic system on insect's brains. It is just too small. What does REM sleep have to do with emotions? REM sleep is retraining of the brain over the experiences of the previous day. It is a pure intellectual act

Not really common to 'animals' in general, for example reptiles only have the very basic instincts of eat, reproduce, fight. Insects don't have emotions, they barely have hyper specialized sensors as brains. However, emotions

I think that transition already happened, and the next big jump in AI will be the combination of these two approaches in an unified package. Kind of the way our right brain hemisphere does probabilistic computation and the left brain hemisp

If elephants were carnivores, with their trunks, they would have evolved efficient methods to hunt, and would probably be the dominant species on the earth landmass surface. All this without hands. The fact that they are vegetarian gave us

This mixed with LED keycaps that change to reflect the current assigned letter would be awesome. For hunt and peck typists.

I'm in total disagreement with your last paragraph. In fact, I can't see how it follows from the rest. Software can have defects, true. There are finite resources, true. So keep the tickets open. Eventually someone will fix them.
