That depends, because a person can over do exercise and be drained, have a lot of demands on their time, or be in a high stress situation. By contrast, someone who is living a more sedentary life could possibly have more time and less stres

Wonder if we are at the point where rogue nation states start blackmailing other countries to not cause a climate catastrophe. A game of "chicken", but instead of nuclear weapons, pollution will be used. "Want me to stop po

The major problem with such laws is how vague they are. Exactly what constitutes an insult? Such laws open the door for it to be interpreted in such ways that it becomes a convenient tool for censorship, can be used to block justifiable c

Seems like we should not stop at just what other humans are doing, as clearly attempting to predict what other animals might do or the environment around us would be just as important.

Or perhaps have the AI periodically generate questions for itself to answer, then do some form of self-analysis.

Yes, they could have multiple instances, go back and forth with each other. This strategy was used with various chess AI in order to help improve it. However, to make it more human-like, I would think they would make some type of AI self r

To take that a step further, why couldn't such an AI periodically generate questions to ask itself? Being good at generating questions, could become almost as important as answering them.

It could also be possible that he doesn't really believe that LaMDA is actually sentient, but that he wants to cause some type of trouble for Google because he was disgruntled or indirectly shed light on something they are doing. With

That's a good point. At some point in the future, the level of efficiency of a chat bot fraudster, could be quite high. They would never sleep or take breaks, and in addition to providing data to help become more efficient, could be c

I strongly doubt that LaMDA is sentient, but do think it demonstrates the increasing ability of AI to fool people in conversations. For a point of reference, people might want to read about IBM's Project Debater ( https://ww

I tend to believe it has a lot more to do with eating fish from cans, mercury, and other industrial contaminants that we overly allow to pollute our waters than specifically the fish itself.

I see that more as such people pretending to be productive, when they aren't. Some examples are managers in all kinds of constant meetings, as if that is work by itself, versus actual outcomes. Related to that, are people you see wor

I wonder if there is a conflating of pushing oneself too hard or with a toxic work environment, with toxic productivity. I've always seen toxic productivity more in the context of a person having an unbalanced life, where they have no
