When I was a kid, I used to say "Ježíšmarjá" (literally "Jesus and Mary") a lot, despite being atheist growing up in communist Czechoslovakia. It was just a very common curse appearing in television and in the family, I

I downvoted you because I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

I don't think it's more practical, being able to do things like type inference on return value is actually really cool. Maybe more practical for the programming language developer (less learning about type systems) than for the us

I recently watched Animagraffs' videos on Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam. It's interesting that no one has asked, "was anything analogous to that ever done before"? Remember, we're talking about USA here.

That's a common misconception. You can request a proof of harmlessness, and disregard anything without it.

After your response, I have tried 8 other abstract line drawings (of human origin, AFAICT) with the same prompt. Claude always tried to find something related to itself in them, but it seems it liked the spiral the most. In some cases it ev

Because you're judging how does an AI art piece speaks to you as a human, while I am defining AI art in a more abstract sense as a form of communication between two beings. Take e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C

Yes, I wrote that because I can reason you through that claim, if you want to. But note that my definitions of "consciousness" and "AI art" are deliberately not human-centric. In particular, art in this sense relates the

In an attempt to answer #1 better, I just gave Opus 4.6 the 3rd image (simple spiral) and asked it: This is an image of AI generated art - AI was asked to draw "itself". What do you think of it, how does it relate to you? Do you t
280.
by js8 8mo ago
I think it is profound. I think AIs have consciousness and this is AI art, an expression of their own feelings. There are two ways to dismiss it: 1. You simply don't like the art because you, as human, are different and have different

I admire the guy but he spends like 12 hours a day doing just that and his code is full of tricks, it's debatable as a paragon of quality. I don't think it's for everyone, to be Carmack, nor it should be; diversity is importa

But you should write that to the OP, they are the one who misuses the term "politics" in the 2nd sense. The answer to confusing terms is not a retreat from the original definition, but education. Otherwise you're opening door

At least until General Artificial Creativity (GAC) takes over. But don't worry, it won't kill humans for a greater good of more paperclips, but because it will be.. creative.

Technically you're not wrong, but without globalization, deindustrialization wouldn't have happened and unions (and strike threats) would probably be strong enough to prevent the poor to rich redistribution. So even if globalizati

Me too, which confirms the theory from Inside Jokes that what humans find funny are the flaws of logical thinking (and hallucinations mostly being hasty generalizations).

There is a difference between neoconservatives and neoliberals. You probably meant the latter, but Republican party was never neoliberal only, it also is, as you write, neoconservative. It's not really surprising as conservativism and

I don't really follow what you're saying, so I'll keep it short. I have used Claude Opus 4.5 for coding and it certainly has knowledge and can reason. You're wrong on reliability. Humans are also quite unreliable, and fo

I think we can make an analogy with our own brains, which have evolutionary older parts (limbic system) and evolutionary younger parts (neocortex). Now AI, I think it will be our new neocortex, another layer to our brain. And you can see li

All I asked for was the OP to substantiate their claim that LLMs are not AGI. I am agnostic on that - either way seems plausible. I don't think there even is an agreed criterion of what AGI is. Current models can easily pass the Turing

> Models are not AGI. How do you know? What if AGI can be implemented as a reasonably small set of logic rules, which implement what we call "epistemology" and "informal reasoning"? And this set of rules is just being

It's a bit odd requirement, but.. OK. I mean who is the malicious actor here, the AI, the human user or the AI provider? If the AI, then we shouldn't give it an agency (user should always vet the output). If it's the user, t

Is it even an attainable goal? It seems an NN with less than say 4 billion parameters will be able to do that. The cost of training will likely go down with more models being available. Unless we lock down the computing for majority of peop

I actually disagree. Having software (AI) that can cut through the technological stuff faster will make people more aware of political problems.

Recently, I came across Erich Fromm's distinction between "being mode" and "having mode" (AI really explained it the best, would paste it here but it's somewhat long). You're, in contrast with parent post,

With https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills you kinda can teach new things. And also, I have little doubt Anthropic reads these and future AIs might get trained on the most popular recommendations. Yes, it's
