Let's generalize the question. Why are our brains able to engineer machines that produce forces greater than a human body? Because they understand the forces, and set them into motion with tiny efforts to build mechanisms that eventual

I think cyberpunk made it a cheap trope, so we don't notice it anymore, it's just a depressing constant in stories, with grubby, real world consequences like having to live on a toxic cocktail of anti rejection drugs so your outda

I don't like podcasters because they usually muddle through stuff and approach things in a kind of non-productive superficial way that drives easy engagement rather than hard work results. That said if it's a topic that I'm r

I feel that's because most people criticizing AI in that way don't know enough about math or other really abstract and conceptual domains to use it for PhD level work. And they don't know how to get GPT excited and having fun

I hope your corporations all get taken down by persistent threats created by your own cruel policies, if you think any of that is justifiable. Literally just revoke the credentials. If you want to be extra, don't be surprised if you fi

If someone had AGI, wouldn't it be far more lucrative than $1m to keep it under wraps and use it to do business with a huge technical advantage? I feel like a prize of a billion dollars would be more effective. But even if it was me, a

Hmm. This is not a productive conversation. Can we fix that? Here are my concerns. It's sounding like you have not worked much with genomics, given that you put "genomic experiments" in scare quotes, speak in terms of analogi

What is neat is that this could potentially project a configurable hologram! You could partially cure the bottom layer, pull that layer up, then finish curing that layer while forming the next layer. This could significantly accelerate the

Gaslighting actually decent business people on the internet is a very bad look for you. I'm not insane, I just have values and principles you don't understand. If I'm virtue signaling, then you're signaling you are an un

Read the article, my friend. Then you'll see what is so magical about the random walk algorithm - namely, it is easier to implement then other tree evaluation algorithms! Of course, you can use a number of algorithms to calculate the v

This is an amazing idea! In my response to imiric, I detail an ICM Panspermia version of the Stoned Ape Theory, and hypothesize that we could use genomic dating techniques to experimentally falsify the theory (which is probably false becaus

The more I think about it the more I agree with you. I don't know why I initially felt unsettled but now that I'm thinking we might be able to actually detect if it happened (through advanced genomics techniques), I am starting to

And I think that you're misunderstanding what I meant by a impact on the biosphere. We wouldn't see all new species. We might see some new genes in a few species, which would have started arriving around 3 million years ago in the

I'm not saying this to be non-scientific or conspiratorial or anything. This is actually very cool! And respectfully, I think a real xenobiologist can come up with more creative ways to get spores from the ISM into the atmosphere. For

Those are other alternatives, yes. That and mining the slop with automated tools. The problem with public domain stuff is that there is more than enough of it, but you cannot access public domain information because monetized slop has super

False. False. False. 1. People could forcibly seize and redistribute content already made in years 1980-2020. Even that would be better than slop. 2. People could read only those - like scientists or open source and public domain authors -

It is an issue. They hire African workers because they can exploit them perhaps 3x or more than Western workers. For every unit of revenue they extract, they can pay the African workers 2/3 less let's say. Low cost of living means

Why does this make me feel a little dirty and exposed ? Like, who knows what kinda alien DNA strands or spores are carried by the ISM?! I wonder if it would be possible to track biodiversity increases caused by the transit? Assuming ther

Easy. The entire market is full of scammers. They compete on how to scam you the best. And the companies that don't scam don't survive. Tada! There's nothing else to invest in but scams. It's kind of how even though Goog

Montecarlo Tree Search (MCTS) would be very ideal for this situation. Since the tree depth is really low, you would not need a neural network estimator. You would just load the entire game tree, and walk randomly through it, updating visit

Yes I was being satirical. I've argued for a while now that if we run an llm through a proof engine, we can get rid of hallucinations. In the worst case we'll fail to find a proof. In effect that is gives us an LM that can honestl
