Why don't they do anything to fix it? I truly don't understand the logic here. It's the same as Seattle. They've gone so far left that they've started delving into the absurd.

You're 100% right about this. The Chinese Room argument has been largely debunked, and you just proved one reason why.

That's not how any of this works. You're assuming that every single person will spend their UBI payment in exactly the same fashion, and thus that all prices will go up in unison. That is an extremely basic model of the economy (

I was trying to show that people on both the "left" (MLK) and the "right" (Friedman) advocate for UBI. But thank you for revealing your thoughts on MLK through your question.

UBI will always be the best answer. MLK advocated for it as the best way to alleviate poverty. Even Milton Friedman believed in a pseudo-UBI through his Negative Income Tax.

OK you're moving the goalposts and just flat-out saying that you know better than the actual researchers in the field. That's fine, and it's what I was assuming you were going to say, but I appreciate you being open about it.

Not much, so we'd have to hope that AI imagines us as fun pets!

Sydney Bing taught itself to play chess without ever explicitly being told to learn chess. So yes, (1) is already occurring. GPT-4 displays emergent capabilities, one of which is generalized "learning".

Fantastic explanation!

It's not that the AI is stupid. It's that you, as a human being, literally cannot comprehend how this AI will interpret its goal. Paperclip Maximizer problems are merely stating an easily-understandable disaster scenario and sayi

I think our only possible way out of this is hoping beyond hope that "empathy" is an emergent capability in higher intelligences. If so, one could assume that a super-AI would feel immense empathy for us, not only because we are i

The problem is that we do not know "How" to engineer those principles. And that's what the entire field of AI alignment is working on. We know what we want the AI to do; the problem is we don't know how to make certain i

A mis-aligned super AGI will treat the Earth and everything on it as a playground of atoms and material. Why wouldn't it? What do children do when they see a sandbox? Do they care what happens to any ants or other bugs that might live

You should be concerned. You need to reframe this technological shift. At some point these AI's will no longer be tools. They will be an alien intelligence that is beyond our intelligence in the way that we are beyond an amoeba. Perhap

You clearly have not read anything regarding the capabilities of GPT-4 and also clearly have not played around with ChatGPT at all. GPT-4 has already displayed a multitude of emergent capabilities. This is incredibly ignorant and I expect b

How about not spreading around false information if you don't know wtf you're talking about?

None of this has anything to do with the government of the US but nice try.

The government isn't going to come after you. You can stop living your weird libertarian fever dream. That's not a thing that happens. The government is not just going to randomly pick out epups and then do something nefarious wit

I listened to a 3 hr long interview between Steve Keen and Lex Fridman while on a road trip and he instantly became my new favorite economist. The man is absolutely brilliant. I don't remember him talking about a debt jubilee during t

Here's what I tried with Tic Tac Toe. There's one error in its first response but otherwise it follows along seamlessly. I was really surprised. I'm interested if you can get the same results. https://pastebin.com&

That demonstration was amazing and terrifying at the same time. I'm not quite sure what I witnessed. He nonchalantly announced that GPT-4 does "mental math" and then just didn't elaborate on that. Is it just me or is tha

If they had evidence for it at the time then why wouldn't it be useful to identify them after the fact? I see the point you're trying to make. Conspiracy theorists should be treated as broken clocks. If people have evidence but

That's because it is illogical. “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievab

Ooh I can argue against that! I mean, he's clearly not. He's more of a fantastically savvy investor than anything else. The man clearly does not run any of his companies because it's impossible to run 3 companies at once. Don
