As far as we know (we currently cannot prove or disprove panpsychism) that is true. However, I think it is important to keep in mind that we do not perceive reality as it is. Rather we experience the brain's interpretation of reality.

I find these comments frustrating, not because I disagree, but because how consciousness works is a famously unresolved problem in science and philosophy. They literally call it the "hard problem of consciousness". My point being

Huh, I never considered that grades might be intended to help the person learning. I always assumed they were just intended as a signal to the rest of the world that they had learned something.

The problem is keeping it out of the water table.

The problem is that the people who want to build nuclear plants are precisely the people I don't trust to build nuclear plants. Personally, I think we should look at a structure similar to the military for running the plants. No profit

Doesn't Texas have a separate grid which would mean that they can't sell electricity to other states?

The problem is that the two sides disagreeing are not equal.

What's the evidence for that? I don't think it is likely to happen, but I don't see any evidence that AGI won't happen.

It seems like you are overlooking a possibility: Perhaps the people who have gone through some crisis or otherwise "don't have their shit together" are politically radical precisely because of how society has failed them.

I'm not sure that's really true. The two that come immediately to mind are Facebook or Discord for organizing with friends and language translation while traveling.

I don't think they are optional in today's world. There's a lot of places where it would be prohibitive to try to live without a smartphone and what does it even cost to remove telemetry from a car?

Still better than being at the mercy of the corporations.

Honestly, at this point I think that people are just holding on and helping others where they can.

I think that it would be necessary to correct for things like income and education level since engineers in cyber command are likely not representative of the general public.

Sure, as long as the new jobs pay at least as much as the old jobs and society is willing to pay for the retraining. In that case I imagine there would be lots of people willing to reskill.

Sure, but individuals pay the cost too. Society also has an obligation to make them whole or to at least give them accountability.

How can it be restitution if it doesn't help the victims?

You might want to read some more Marxist analysis. TLDR: Eventually the real owning class decides they no longer need to pretend that the professional class is one of them.

In my most recent job I was definitely under that sort of timer.

Presumably that's because in the 40k game, humanity has outlawed AI. ^_^

The biggest thing that I want is a way for ADA to realistically apply to invisible disabilities like autism. Although in theory people with invisible disabilities can get accomodations, in practice the accomodation that they really need is

Yet even if we accept your premise, he is still worlds better than the alternatives.

I think that a lot of that may come from the degree to which "contribute to an open source project" has been the advice for almost any job search problem. If people who are just looking for a job have to contribute to open source,

At the very least there is no doubt in my mind that he would have used it to create something intellectually provocative! Maybe something in the spirit of "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote"?

That's a great point! I wonder if the difference might be that, as you mentioned, Hirst's lack of direct involvement was part of his artistic message. I wonder "work where the medium is part of the message" might just be

My understanding is that part of the problem with mixing caffine with alcohol is that it can prevent someone from passing out; which is the body's defense mechanism against alcohol poisoning. From that perspective I think that an argum

Price is determined by what someone is willing to pay but value isn't. If the value from art comes from expression, then LLMs directly attack the core value of art.

The issue is that word processors and photoshop replace the traditional technique of art. AI replaces the expression of art. Since the invention of the camera made representation trivial, the art community has moved towards viewing expressi

Off topic, but you name is somewhat ironic. Argentina's most famous writer, Jorge Luis Borges, built much of his career on the idea that writing is inextricably and inherantly linked to its author.

The problem as I see it is that you cannot communicate your internal feeling if no one reads you book. Therefore, even for people whose motivation is personal expression, there is a very real risk of being flooded out of the market by AI sl
