Thanks for the article, reading it now, good stuff. Exactly the same idea, that there is a single subject across the space of all experiences. Apparently another name for it is Open Individualism, on which I commented here: https:/&#x

Thanks, that article summarizes many of the references that people (the one "I") brought up in this thread. > Open individualism is a view within philosophy of self, according to which there exists only one numerically identica

A twist on this theory: One-Observer Universe. It is the hypothesis that all observers are actually manifestations of a single observer experiencing all of time, space, and every point of view. All world lines across spacetime are parts of

Glad to see a new release of Bend, fascinating cutting-edge stuff. I had to look up "gambiarra": a Brazilian expression that means to use improvised methods to solve a problem with any avaiable material. Totally understandable, I

Reminds me of that Richard Scarry children's book illustration of a fox busily sawing off a tree branch he's sitting on.

From the paper, that is: 36.3 ± 2.5°C.

Curious, in this model, is there any discussion on whether the mathematical structures underlying space-time are continuous or discrete? Usually the former is assumed, but it seems your "functional" approach may be able to accommo

Arithmetic is deterministic, because it is abstract. A calculator or computer is not, because it is physical and exists in a non-deterministic universe. But with error correction, etc., it's deterministic enough for practical purposes.

That's the neat part: it won't until some kind of market dominance is established and maximally exploited by the biggest players. Like during the pandemic when the biggest companies got bailed out while smaller businesses got crus

That story was so sad, reading it was like actually going through the process together with the main character. The past few years I seem to be seeing more and more experiments with growing brains in laboratories. Aren't there laws reg

Oh no, they told it to "go rogue" and it went rogue. We better ask the government to regulate our competitors while we secretly continue developing this dangerous technology for the select few with insider connection. You know, fo

As long as the machine is part of the larger universe, and not completely isolated in its own bubble of space-time (an impossible situation, an object without an environment) - it cannot be purely deterministic because of the fundamental

All I ask is 12 monkeys, a library of Shakespeare, and an AI lab full of typewriters. We may not produce a mediocre play, but will IPO as a social media marketing agency.

Here is a more everyday example: distance traveled by a vehicle and the amount of fuel consumed. > Fuel efficiency can be expressed in terms of the volume of fuel to travel a given distance, such as in litres per 100 kilometres, or throu

They are identifying with this new powerful technology, because it makes them feel as if they're powerful also. Like how drivers of monster trucks get a rush from feeling like the power of the machine is their own. Some users of LLMs e

> Logic cannot encode morality That doesn't even make sense, but you're arguing against logic so perhaps it's internally consistent.

No offense but you're just making statements without backing it up with anything. "Clearly superior", "finding out that is true".. How are you going to prove what you said? Natural language is not enough for that pu

Is there any practical difference? One is just an inverse of the other and can be trivially derived.
