Your final paragraph is in conflict with the last sentence of your third paragraph. I think for all of these things to be congruent you need to be implying some kind of moral or personal weakness which doesn't come from the environment

Interesting. Definitely trying to do a lot and managing that complexity will be tough but I like these attempts.

I stopped speaking first when answering the phone to unknown numbers a couple of years ago, out of fear of identity theft via some bank's shitty voice ID system, or a more believable version of the "Honey my phone was stolen and I

I'll concede the just asking questions point, that much is true. GPT4 appears to give more intelligent responses than GPT3. To describe that, though, perhaps we need to migrate to a term that doesn't step on the toes of those who,

Interesting. When I read it I assume that it is a retort to very similar hysterical sentiments to the ones we see today. I don't read it as a sub swimming being as ridiculous as a computer thinking, but rather that the question "i

One framework would be to base this decision on the ability to suffer / experience joy. Fraught, of course, with the same problems.

I think if you revisited the Dijkstra quote you might find that you dismissed it a bit too easily. In a way it's saying the same thing that you and I have said, just a bit more generally and eloquently. In another way it's wisely

There's a preamble to a later edition of one of Richard Dawkins's books, I believe it was the selfish gene but might have been the extended phenotype. I'm paraphrasing and it's been many years since I read it, but he tal

The meta of all of this is interesting to me. Pop sci-fi has done a good job of exploring a lot of this but I have still been surprised by the enthusiasm with which the idea is dismissed by some. If you're in that camp, maybe you can s

I can agree with all of that. I was pushing back against something that might not have been there initially: an unwillingness to accommodate the idea that a fairly significant part of our intelligence is actually stored in our language and

Drawing a line around the bits that aren't language generation unfairly ignores the massive apparatus that seems to be specialised (oftentimes overly so) at language generation. Sure there's other stuff going on, but a lot of it i

I didn't ask you to complete a sentence, though. Just to read them. Then I asked a question. I think you've made my point quite well.

Just to throw the other side's perspective of the argument into the ring, the ones reducing the observed phenomena to obviously anything can seem emotional and defensive of some metaphysical person-ness.

Can you elaborate on how that works? One of my 200 third cousins did a 23andMe swab. I then committed a crime, possibly on the other side of the country*. Law enforcement collects DNA evidence. What now? * edit: Previously this said "o

That's a fairly unconventional approach. Not a subscriber to traditional incentives-drive-behaviours theories I guess?

Yeah. With the genie being as far out of the bottle as it is though, I opted for empathy for the unemployed guy in this case. I can see your point, absolutely, and the new normal is unfortunate and probably unsustainable. Careers boards are
