I'm wondering how the LLM will be able to make use of hardware, or handle high demand. Can it be relied on to have data integrity?

Because most code involves teams and different stages of development, not just a single approximation of a good enough result. And what happens when you need to make tweaks? The UI isn't quite right or a business rule needs to be added

That doesn't sound like progress. Maybe for CRUD apps it will be okay. I have a hard time imagining it will be acceptable for financial or critical systems.

There are facts about experiences. What is the experience of a fourth primary color? We're in a similar position to Mary before she leaves the room.

I have heard that. Problem is they can't tell us what those hues are. I suppose they could make up new color words, but it won't tell us what those hues look like.

I don't know either, it's just that the problem seems to be hard in a fundamental way. We would have to show how something like brain processing results in subjective experience in a way that isn't just correlation. The expla

That's very interesting. Bat neuroscience might be able to tell us whether bats use echolocation in a similar fashion as you described (they do also have ears and eyes, although many don't have color vision). If not, then probably

And how would that processing tell us what sort of sensation that bat has when using echolocation? Do you think doing this for birds would reveal what the fourth primary color looks like? If the answer is it wouldn't look like anything
1960.

Related to this would be Nagel's paper, "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" We can't say what sort of echolocation sensation a bat has anymore than Mary can say what a color looks like before she leaves the black and white ro

It is a computer science degree, with an emphasis on the science part, and a note that CS is not the same as coding computers. It's the science of computing, not a tech bootcamp to get you quickly up to speed in the latest hot language

Who said anything about "magic"? That's straw-manning the literature on qualia. I'd like to hear your explanations for our sensations, because I'm not aware of any that actually explains them.

Does the strange loop explain how sensations like color and pain come from the isomorphic self-description?

If the universe is infinite in size (given that measurement is close to the topology being flat), or time is infinite in the future, then no. Or there is an infinite multiverse (take your pick of which one).

Thing is that other humans have the same biology as ourselves, so saying they're not conscious would mean we're (or really just me) are special somehow in a way that isn't based on biology. That or the metaphysical conclusion

They have to decide what's newsworthy. There's limited time and space. Your examples might be apt, but not because they're making decisions. That's a given for any possible news organization. You can call that a kind of

Is that the fault of advertisers or strong ideological/political current against such things?

Just because it's impossible to be 100% objective all the time doesn't mean it's impossible to be somewhat objective with the goal of being as objective as possible. The alternative is just go full ideological, and then you n

There's a range between 0% and 100%. Saying news is either would be false. Giving it a percentage would just depend on what news and what situation.

It's a range from 2.7° - 4°C, where four is the high end of where we'll likely end up at end of century, based on current trends.

You mean my body interacts with the environment as an organism, so I know what trees and cars and human interaction is, unlike an LLM. Your sensory organs are part of your nervous system. You're not just a brain inside a meat suit.

The benefit is to deprive the government of the power to decide which speech is allowed, which will likely depend on which party is in power, and how the cultural winds are blowing. Which might be in your preferred flavor today, but not tom

To paraphrase Frank Herbert, it's not that power corrupts, but rather that the corruptible seek power. This is also a problem with revolutionary movements. Who gets to be in charge if you win? Odds are someone who ends up using the rev
