Sure, and people make performative pledges all the time. See EULAs, and any other document which says "sign here to get the thing you actually want".

It depends on whether you'd like the model to learn casual or correlative relationships. If you want the model to understand what a "nurse" actually is, then it shouldn't be associated with female. If you want the model

Criticizing in a vague way is a great way to make a broader point if people already agree with you. If they don't, then it's completely unconvincing because it doesn't actually provide any new information. So if the goal is t

Getters and setters are much more useful when accessing or setting the element should require some other function calls. Caching, memoization, and event-logging are examples where you might want this to happen. You can say that's not a

Why? Zero-sum just refers to the allocation of a bounded quantity; growth is a quantity. If the derivative of a value is bounded, then the delta of that value over time is bounded. If one new oil well is discovered every year, then you can

The wealth of the world per capita grows at an exponential, but fixed rate (~3%, plus or minus). I don't think there's a way to get around that, so that 3% is zero-sum. You can argue that the rate that our productivity can grow ye

Because you're paying it off faster than it grows. It would be exponential if you were allowed to simply let it sit without paying it down, but that would break the contract and get you foreclosed.

There's the literal definition of the Turing test, as described above, which doesn't actually work for proving any sort of intelligence. Then there's the conceptual argument of the Turing test, which we can turn into a test o

Conceptually, to pass the Turing test you should be able to fool any human (including expert judges). It's just practically easier to choose an expert judge as opposed to test on every human on Earth, since you'd hope that if an e

Great point. I should've added a third restriction: the 'bot' should not be able to communicate with, or use the judgement of, humans once it's started.

Passing the Turing test requires, for any human judge: 1. This judge is aware that they have to discern whether the 'bot' is real or a machine. 2. The judge cannot discern whether the 'bot' is real or a machine better th
