Just for the sake of completeness: do you think the customers of your family member's business have any informational rights to know to whom they are giving their money to? If not, Does that lack of a right translate to every other com

Name a company that is legal to run that SHOULD have it's owner's identity hidden... Only those that dwell in darkness fear the light. Exposing who own these LLC's seems like a solid 'pro-truth' move for America.

Isn't that precisely the argument to extend the definition of consciousness, our own human bias on what is conscious colors what we define as such. If the 'universe' is conscious, every cell in your body is as well... and wel

This is my two cents: Maybe entanglement is a much more 'immediately physical' phenomenon than 'spooky action at a distance'. Just guessing as a layman here: maybe entangled particles are just physically connected {along

I understand your complaint, but I consider this a feature. Learning vocabulary and learning grammar can be split apart. I'd prefer it go the other way, to translate the current language's grammar into the other language's gr

The mind uploading is just one of many potential outcomes. To me the more interesting concern: we can't seem to agree on the bare minimum requirements for sentience/experience. Maybe the 'bare minimum' is 'electrici

What a short-sighted view. Having open access to the training data is how you prevent poisoning/biasing of the dataset. People complaining about bad data in the dataset improve the quality of the dataset. That's in addition to the

what would be required for trusting an LLM? 1: 100% transparency. Open Source code, fully (and correctly) attributed training data. 2: A predictable model of what these models are actually encoding (so that hypothetical new models (or modif

How do you verify the work of training without redoing the exact same work for training? (That's the neat part: you don't) Bitcoin is trust-solved because of how the new blocks depends on previous blocks. With training data, there

Distributing the training data also opens up vectors of attack. Poisoning or biasing the dataset distributed to the computer needs to be guarded against... but I don't think that's actually possible in a distributed model (in prin

Why not have some layers/nodes/systems be 2 states and have others be 3... couldn't you get arbitrarily close to Euler's number that way?

Silo was far too predictable and slow for my taste. Ending in full was predicted correctly in episode 2 (which was a bit infuriating that that's all it was culminating towards)... The acting was good, the cinematography and sets, and c

Asking what the training data was, is valid. Knowing what these AI are trained on is to everyone's benefit.

That people have to be employed artificially so they don't starve: is the problem. UBI has the potential to remove a lot of bullshit jobs, companies can run much leaner when they aren't responsible for a citizen's needs.

I read this, and I wonder: maybe cognition and data compression are closely related. We compress all our raw inputs into our brain into a somewhat wholistic experience - what is that other than compressing the data you experience world arou

the way to fix facebook is to stop using facebook! I shed my facebook 8 years ago now (around the Cambridge Analytica fiasco). There was a giant relief not unlike drawing a fresh breath from almost drowning underwater after having done so.
