Doesn't work. Look at the updateless decision theories of Wei Dai and Vladimir Nesov. They are perfectly capable of building most any sort of torment nexus. Not that an actual AI would use those functions.

There are algorithms that should work, they're just galactic[0] or are otherwise expected to use far too much space and time to be practical. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_algorithm

That's controversial to say the least. Especially if there's something like reinforcement learning involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_risk_from_artifici...

I'm not sure that really works out too much better, because his last name is still Protagonist. Unless there's some other part of the book that says otherwise.

Yeah, that's how you have to do it, but the main issues are 1) what do you care about, which actually surprisingly mostly boils down to how you calculate probabilities in multiverse situations and 2) how the hell do you find anything?

Is that true? 1) I can't remember that 2) I've never heard anyone say that 3) my grep is coming up empty. I'm not explicitly saying you're lying but I'd like more evidence.

Is that anywhere close to the Quantum Thief series in research quality/accuracy? I've read physicists who say they can't get time travel to work even in fiction, it's just that incompatible with everything else.

Might be too much effort if the original is 100 kilolines.

What happened to the website? I can't find where the bug fix listings are anymore.

I remember a video around that time talking about the automated turret systems they apparently had deployed. Who knows how seriously the plans were taken, but they supposedly had enough advanced warning to have CBRN defense units on site.

Not very safe. Yeah, they could make it better, but then you're mostly back to a SUV anyway.

Is there pictures of the foot armor?
373.
by Vecr 2y ago
The armor has very good coverage (better than modern military armor except bomb suits), but personally I wouldn't call armor "full body" unless it also covers the arms, legs, and at least some of the tops of the feet, plus of

How's the quality on that? I think similar devices made weird popping noises sometimes.

New crazy paramyxoviridae combination here we come!

I don't want to give actual examples, but I'm talking about published scientists and people I consider to be reasonably good engineers.

Possibly computer controlled bumpers? Making the movement imperceptible would have been hard, but I think possible. Or air jets/magnets, you could do those.

Yeah, I've seen that happen with really smart people. I'm sure they learned at some point that they need to criticize their own ideas, but that apparently goes out the window once the LLM is involved.

Some people say they do, you know, summon the thermodynamic god and /wipe out all of humanity/ optimize the light cone according to the Jarzynski-Crooks fluctuation theorem. According to the polls, yeah, it's unpopular.

What do you mean? The options on the table are crazy gamer fantasies that presumably aren't widely supported, dystopia, or worse. People want some improved automation, but not too much.

It matters what you think of democracy. "The people" don't want transformative AI. The polls bear it out.

> 2) Evolution is a biological process term, and an overloaded and ambiguous one at that. Culture is accretive and driven by social dynamics. “Cultural evolution” is literally nonsensical. This was, however, a popular way of thinking in

Yes, this is not statistically well thought out. See Death Note : L, Anonymity & Eluding Entropy (yes it's about a cartoon, but read it for the math). https://gwern.net/death-note-anonymity Also see the 2020 censu

I think some of the posters here might be confused, I think refurb is trying to say the wife was abusive, not him.

by Vecr 2y ago
Due to being paranoid (not clinically. Probably.) I think it would have guessed something was up earlier, but most people aren't like that. Inside view vs outside view problem. "I know too much about my wife, she'd never do s

I didn't say they can't be theories. I don't think Penrose ever got that far though. There theoretically were some measurements that would distinguish the idea, but since it was attached to quantum gravity the math was never

Yes, that's what I mean by "new physics".
