However unlikely it may be, when I see a wealthy celebrity with a doppleganger child the thought crosses my mind that they may have had themselves cloned. The resemblance between young Donald Trump and his son Barron is uncanny, for example

I was actually surprised by how low the per-second rate is.

I think those are exactly the right questions. I'd say that AI is too poorly understood at this point to conclude whether it does or does not possess some form of consciousness. It has a few features that privilege it over other system

It's not clear that this is in any way affiliated with Mullvad...

380 dollars per second... Good to know I could afford my own data center for an appreciable fraction of a minute.

Apart from 2, I've either come across convincing arguments against these or would consider them essentially appeals to magic.

I'm doing a PhD in population genomics. I'm really just curious, having spent a day conversing with you I'm finding the way to think interesting. Totally get it if you're not comfortable sharing personal details though.

What else could it be? Genuine question, I'm curious about alternative views here

The advantage is that it makes it impossible for Mullvad or Amazon to associate my online payment with the activation code on the card, and by extension my Mullvad account.

Are you familiar with these things called emulators?

I'm curious about what you do for a living, if you'd indulge me?

Like so, hopefully the link works for you: https://amzn.eu/d/00yFWx41 The card arrives with a little lottery-ticket style scratchpad with I believe a 16 digit activation code underneath.

Totally agree. There's nothing magical about meat.

One of the things I like about Mullvad is that I can buy a voucher on Amazon, and use that to pay for the service with a high degree of anonymity. Is/will something like that be possible with Uruky?

Empiricism doesn't mean that you refuse to accept the existence of something until you witness it. It means that beliefs have at their root direct observations, which in conjunction with a logical argument support that belief. Accordin

I switched to Ian's original shoelace knot about ten years ago. It's saved me something like four hours of shoelace time since then. Bloody brilliant.

Can you explain why you think that matters?

The argument is that consciousness is an emergent property of a specific kind of complexity.

by dtj1123 5mo ago
I could in principle implement a spreadsheet or terminal emulator in human neurons, and we would agree that it isn't conscious. That has nothing to do with whether or not humans are conscious. Clearly consciousness is an emergent prope

A label is distinct from a definition. Contrast that with "tall" or "short", which are entirely context dependent and used entirely for convenience. Words like "just", "free", "fast", "

Right now, quantum programs are commonly written in QASM, which essentially expresses operations that are the quantum analogues of classical logic applied to individual qubits. If you want to compose those primitives into higher level struc
