Here is the fun thing to think about: If viruses aren't alive, neither are men. Men, too, lack the biological means of reproduction. On the other hand, parthenogenesis may even rarely happen in female humans. https://en.wiki

Yeah, overpriced is a big word when the competition is likely not operating sustainable due to subsidies and a lot of investment cash to burn for market capture. Eg. they are paying random people to host their models exclusively on MakerWor

Except the human mind isn't at all just "software". If the human brain is deterministic, nothing is not. The human brain doesn't have "a lot of" inputs, but rather infinite inputs. Cosmic rays, (self-emitted) e

I think, If you compare LLMs with biological consciousness you need to consider the whole system, the OS and hardware too. If the binary is executed, running a loop, governed by the OS, the system has state. I think the question you are rai

"The selfish gene" is one of the most influential books I read. I wish Dawkins would have stuck with biology instead of becoming this insufferable edgelord of the dark enlitenment. He's a great science educator, but failed hu

Design by whom? The origin of patent law is older than most nations and constitutions. There have been various variations, reiterations and stated intentions. There is also no such thing as a natural intellectual property and the very legal

Research is permitted, if the protected invention is commercially available, as far as I know. E.g. medical research. I believe, this means use for research cannot be restricted once commercially available. I am not sure, if it's limit

I believe the restriction on personal replication of patented designs is a US thing (only?). At least in Germany, you are legally allowed to make patented things for yourself or science to some capacity. The whole point of a patent is encou

People also tend underestimate how much compute these dedicated servers got, compared to cloud offerings, and what that feels like without 100 layers of management abstraction in-between. You are likely not going to ever choke a plenty-core

There is a difference in targeted software supply attacks vs. weakening encryption for everyone by introducing a master key. Apple would be required to cooperate by US law, it may never become public either. But as I said, Apple doesn'

You would have to break E2E encryption, no? I think, at the very least you still would have to manage new TLS certificates per device to MITM yourself. I mean, doable, but also kinda nasty.
