The key analogy is perfect for the private key and for symmetric keys. Publishing those is always bad and means you need to rekey immediately just like losing a traditional physical key to a secure building would. The public counterpart is

None of that is an argument against small being more reliable. Rather it's an argument that the smaller you are the more important being distributed becomes when managing mundane day to day failures. Even if a solar flare takes out an

Yes it is exactly like that. And I've done that before when my central heat went out so I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?

Just recycle an old water heater as the tank? I think your cost estimate is way overblown but it would certainly eat up a lot of time and effort to DIY. Regardless there's a much bigger flaw with this plan. Water tanks need to be kept

True, but in this case they made a determination about where the acceptable limits on a constitutional right fall which leaves quite a bit more room to disagree with them. It's not at all clear to me that spending money was intended by

And the point made above (which you haven't refuted) is that when the people in power decide it's important they will change the laws that permit that and grant the systems rights. It's a cynical take but it isn't obviou

Throughout this exchange you're repeatedly confusing the negative and the positive. I agree with you that there is no rigorous and universally agreed upon criteria for exactly what would constitute AGI (ie the positive). There are some

That doesn't answer the question though. What does being brain like have to do with qualia? Where exactly in your brain does the qualia occur? I could say the same of you - electrical impulses in, mechanical actions out. A glorified an

Feigning? Okay then you go ahead and prove your claim by demonstration. Rigorously define the term such that I can objectively prove that my dog is conscious and that the rocks in my backyard aren't conscious. Then I'll finally be

The pattern is roughly whether or not sustained effort has been put towards careful and above all objective thought on the matter. It's one of those subjects where there's the "obvious" intuitive answers that most everyo

GPU scheduling only affects the result due to buggy optimizations. It's the exact same mechanism as fp rounding error on the CPU or updates to globally shared PRNG state. We use lots of buggy optimizations because they don't matte

Yes, it is indeed self evident. If it can't figure things out then its intelligence isn't general in which case it can't be AGI by definition .

I'm pretty sure "competent at chess without external aids" has been on the standard AGI checklist since before personal computers were a thing. How can you claim an intelligence is general if it can't make sense of such

It is different, precisely because the end result is not the same - one broadly benefits the public while the other doesn't. Substitute almost any disruptive public service to see the issue with your line of reasoning. For example - yo

If it's framed as national security being at stake why do you think the government won't regulate access to compute? Globally there are only a few firms designing competitive chips and only a handful of cutting edge fabs the world

That's a straw man. The theory is that they committed felonies in order to get the regulator to move in the manner they'd like. Also one can look bad to the general public while also appearing technically excellent. When a signifi
