Haha I love how you stay so polite while being a pompous a#$. A real double bind! I would apologise for being obtuse but I must say the Gloves Are Off. Good day to you sir!

That’s a red herring. Ex post facto the activity of language use as a construction must supersede some enaction by capable actors . This is a complete tautology in terms, and any dispute must therefore be over the ontology in which i

We either have the capacity to make boats and traverse the oceans or we don’t. These days almost nobody makes boats, but we sure used to and still can. What’s your point?

I didn’t say everyone learns it from scratch at least one, I said we did.

We did, at least once.

You know, i thought of the right response just now, browsing my flamewars two weeks later. «Some degree» of agency is not even near sufficient identification of agency to synthesize it ex nihilo. There is no Axiom of Choice in real life, pr

RDF is not magic and OWL is… showing its age. If you are willing to eat the up-front cost of coordinating global resource identification— a daunting task make no mistake, you get non-trivial dataset integration almost for free. Imagine if c

None we have made from unliving things no. «agentic» is a 5$ word of ill construction. The literature is littered with the corpses of failed definitions of «agency», «planning», «goal dorected behavior». ‘Twas the death of the Expert System

Now agency is an end unto itself I wholeheartedly agree. I feel though, that any worry about the agency of supercapable computer systems is premature until we see even the tiniest— and I mean really anything at all— sign of their agency. He

Chess is many things but it is not a tool. It is an end unto itself if anything of the sort. I struggle with the notion of AI as an end unto itself, all the while we gauge its capabilities and define its intelligence by directing it to perf

Yes, having seen this from both ends the more «sciency» guys at reporting/analytics try to bring SOTA practices to bear before core business realizes a need. If the need is in fact communicating $100bn design specifications between mul

If you’re pying a botique consultancy fat stacks to fix your megaCo’s absolute hairball data integration, the probability of RDF approaches 1 as price goes to ∞. Trivial (as in ‘cat graphx graphy’) merging of complex data graphs is just too

If you thing self-checkout reduces clerk work by a factor of 10 you have not worked in low margin high throughput retail. Anyway, from experience i can tell you it’s a gradual affair.

That is… not the only thing a clerk does. Which is (more or less) the whole point in TFA.

5 thermostats in the right comfiguration can be a universal computer. Approximation, in the computational sense, is relative to some well defined function, which gives the approximation an ontology. The feasability of approximation is not d

Take stock of how willing people are to believe in the miracle of technology. Add to that the desperation with which we try to improve education. Multiply by track record. I don’t like those numbers.

None of this is remotely acceptable. We raise children so they can become like us. What are we? Depends on time, place and circumstance, all of which are in constant flux. How or why regular human interaction gradually adjusts children to

A good interface is one that allows the user to accurately assess the tradeoffs involved in using this program over some other solution. In this vein any interface that requires you instantiate all kinds of library-specific structs just to

Ofcourse an electric circuit cannot be «recursive» as such, because the physical ontology in which they are defined does not admit mereological (part/whole) relations, that would be «spooky action at a distance». The signal function, b

If you _need_ «metrics» it’s because you _really_ don’t understand the contribution of your reports. i.e. you are not a competent manager by the usual understanding of «competent».

Translate to what? The next likely string of characters? How would this executive even interact with it? Sibling comment of yours mentioned extracting low level steps from high level tasks but it needed another language model (no kidding!)

All that remains is a small matter of programming…

Wait what? Glue as in extract high level semantic representations from _syntatic probabilities_ and pass on to appropriate domain specific tools? This is the glaring hole in LLMs, a paradoxical semantic incoherence despite impressive senten

If you do not see how you are subverting the very argument that states your position, I don’t know what to tell you. If you do — touché; well played to you Sir!

Ok captain cocksure, this being month one : What was practitioners in the field of computer generated art able to do in month minus one , how has this changed subtstantively , and do they offer any experience, criticism or understanding

You have convinced me quite thoroughly that you have not availed yourself much of what modern art has on offer. If I am right, it would behoove you to not speak so surely of that which you do not know or care to understand.
