That's not the point and you know it. Don't be pedantic. It doesn't help the conversation. The above poster is saying that even small problems can lead to catastrophic consequences in complicated machines.

Not if the vest suddenly decides to malfunction and explode or otherwise do something that kills you. Good lord there is some poor logic happening in this thread.

It would kill you by messing up...? Your question is insane. It kills you by fucking up and you don't have time to correct the car. Good for you that you apparently know how to "use it correctly" or whatever but that's n

We live in a strange world. No one should worship that sad narcissistic piece of crap but yet the sycophants continue to multiply.

That's not what anyone is saying. What we're saying is that these technologies are already outside of our realm of understanding. We have already entered a zone where we do not know what these LLMs can do, or what they're cap

That's nonsense and I think you know it. Categorically a car and an atom bomb are completely different, other than perhaps both being "mechanical". An LLM and a human brain are almost indistinguishable. They are categorically

That's completely fair but we need to be prepared for both outcomes. And too many commenters in here are just going "Bah! It can't be conscious!" Which to me is a absolutely terrifying way to look at this technology. We

I'm getting a bit abstract here but I don't believe we could fully understand all the vectors or mechanisms. Can an ant describe all the ways that a human could destroy it? A novel coronavirus emerged a few years ago and fundament

We created atom bombs with only a surface-level knowledge of quantum mechanics. We cannot describe what fully makes the universe function at the bottom level but we have the ability to rip apart the fabric of reality to devastating effect.

You seem to have an extreme arrogance surrounding your ability to understand what these programs are doing at a base level. Can you explain further your ability to understand this? What gives you such grand confidence to say these sorts of

Neither do you. If you truly believe that you do, please write a scientific paper as you will complete revolutionize cognitive science and philosophy if you can definitely prove that free will exists. This is just such a dismissive attitude

There are a terrifying number of commenters in here that are just pooh-poohing away the idea of emergent consciousness in these LLM's. For a community of tech-savvy people this is utterly disappointing. We as humans do not understand w

So once ChatGPT has the ability to contain state, it will be conscious?

Are we sure that Elon Musk is not just some insane LLM?

Is a schizophrenic not a conscious being? Are they not sentient? Just because their software has been corrupted does not mean they do not have consciousness. Just because AI may sound insane does not mean that it's not conscious.

How are humans any different? Searle did an awful job of explaining why the AI in the room is any different than a human mind. I don't "understand" what any English words mean, but I can use them in the language-game that I p

This very much seems like a "famous last words" scenario. Go play around with Conway's Game of Life if you think that things cannot just spontaneously appear out of simple processes. Just because we did not "design"

That would assume that people like them have a moral compass to begin with.

China is an authoritarian government currently engaging in genocide. The US government isn't authoritarian and is not currently engaging in genocide. Do you really not see the difference?

Assuming OP is taking a Georgist perspective, the idea is that the land rent would be distributed equally among the community as a basic dividend.

by bigtex88 4y ago
Not just the services provided by the state. The unimproved value of your land also depends on the value of the properties / land around your land. Which is even more of a reason to implement a land-value tax.

Implement a Land-Value Tax, as per Henry George's vision. All of the rent from land speculation will be returned to communities. Relatively easier to implement than other solutions (we already have assessors to determine the value of

This literally sounds like American "Conservatism".

by bigtex88 5y ago
Have you driven around America? It is absolutely massive, and the amount of empty land is mind-boggling. Chill out with the racist "we're running out of room" diatribes. We are decidedly not running out of room.

No one is forcing you to sell it. There will be a tax on the land based on the value of the land. If the value of your land goes up, and you haven't developed it, then you haven't done ANYTHING to actually increase the value of

You take a loan out on the value of the land, and use that to pay the taxes. Similar to what countless people today do with their home equity.
