But you are inside the universe. The mathematical structure of the universe can contain all of your perceptions and to you they will "feel real". Indeed, to you they are real. If you had a perfectly accurate universe simulatio

> In other words, your property is more valuable, to you. That's fine, but then it becomes a property tax rather than a land value tax.

I agree with everything you said up to "Nothing in those definitions is capable of expressing the concept of having perceptions (consciousness)". Do you think the universe is not computable? If you think the universe is computable

> it's the thing receiving the output not just an evaluation of a mathematical function. how do you know it's not just an evaluation of a mathematical function?

I'm not saying all algorithms are conscious. I'm saying I don't think it's obvious that algorithms can not be conscious.

I also read comments like that and wonder if other people aren't conscious. I don't know how anyone who experiences consciousness could be confused about what it means to be conscious, or (in other threads, not this one) could arg

You can't tell if another being is conscious without being on the inside of it.

The point of the system where you have to accept an offer at your supposed valuation is that it forces accurate valuations. If you now say that we need to provide two different valuations (land + structure) but we're only taxed on one,

I think you may be confused about how LLMs work. Editing the history you send to the API works perfectly fine. You don't need the LLM to specifically "re-evaluate" the history from the point you edited. In a way it is "r

But just because my land is worth £100k doesn't mean I should be forced to sell the house that is on it for only £100k! If you must have that sort of system, there probably ought to be an obligation on the buyer to first pay to have th

They work differently, so the failure modes are different.

By that standard, humans aren't generally intelligent because you're still not economically redundant?

You also need to simulate load on the engine even in neutral. With no load, the speed genuinely would rise to red line at a rate controlled by throttle position.

For your specific case: maybe 1 in 10000. Or 1 in 5000 because "11230" would fit just as well. So about 13 bits of improbability. But your hypothesis took a lot more than 13 bits to encode! It would be better compressed to say &qu

If you think writing more words will be more persuasive, just... write more words? The test already incentivises being persuasive! If writing more words would do that, and the incentivised human persuaders don't write more words and th

You don't want to ask AI to directly manipulate 360 distinct data points for the same reason you wouldn't ask a human to do that. Get it to write a script to process the data instead.

It took me a while to understand this comment, because I imagined that scaling up a golf ball would involve creating new atoms, but what you said only makes sense if you are scaling up the individual atoms. What you're saying is that t

In "docs like code" the first noun is plural. Your examples were pluralising other words.

I think you are misunderstanding them. I also frequently cite ChatGPT, as a way to accurately convey my source, not as a way to claim it as authoritative.
