It shows how immature of a world we live in that ideas become automatically discredited at the highest levels depending on who's saying those ideas out loud.

Didn't German Green Party greenlight (sorry) driving down nuclear energy in favor of coal? Political parties tend to minmax popular support over success of personal ideology, perhaps that's the case here as well.

The people in my dreams are also often not proportional to the amount I see them in real life. I've found that I at least remember mainly dreams which had a strong emotional footprint, and teenage years definitely have the largest one.

But if there is no obviously desirable move, and instead a wide array of potential equally good moves, then picking the same as the computer picked gives a high probability of cheating. That being said, I find it unlikely that that's t

For me it complains about NSFW when I ask a smirking expression on the face of the example prompt. I wonder if this is using some special NSFW filter?

Humans may naturally be monogamous, at least to a degree. It is a common occurrence in the animal kingdom, in many bird species for example. Monogamosity is therefore a very unlikely candidate for fertility drop.

A new weapon always begets new counter-weapons. They may provide sufficiently believable protection from the drones, though not all-encompassing. Wars may become somewhat bloodier and a lot scarier. In any case, I highly doubt drones would

While impressive, it doesn't imply that GPT would have any significant 'task memory'. Remember that it always predicts the next token or word - as such, it essentially recognizes whether the next 'task' in the list

OpenAI was the first on GPT-level text generation, as it was (I think) on DALL-E level image generation. It's winner takes all rather than marketing.

The authors are seemingly falling into the fallacy of replicating the human experience, which simply leads to ultimately inefficient Alt Intelligence. While an interesting idea which could have a couple very rare useful use-cases, this seem

To be precise, scaling improved results logarithmically. Accuracy seems to plateau with scaling and never reach any magical limit of true general intelligence.

This actually harbors a good point. The quality stays high if the interactions users receive are strongly weighed towards the high-quality content/people.

That's a good definition on consciousness. Not one non-materialists would share, but any entity which fills those requirements is likely indeed one which would deserve the materialist stamp of consciousness.

Could you link some of these models? An interesting perspective that asymptote.

First you have to define consciousness, and especially the external difference between a conscious and non-conscious intelligence.

Indeed they demonstrated that, but don't underestimate the effect an existential crisis like this has. We will almost certainly see heavy changes coming to the Russian military. It could be that in five to ten years their military is a

I should add that Russia desires the Baltics, which are in an awkward position to defend by NATO. Finland has a strong military and its proximity to those countries makes an incursion somewhat less likely.

I don't know if split-brain studies are familiar. In short, some people had the connections between their lobes cut off to combat epilepsy. As a result they had two separate brains, and if, for example, a funny image was shown to their

Can you emulate personalities? Can you, for example, ask Elon Musk for an opinion on something you're currently working on? If you can, a routine discussion with internal monologue is most likely more of a habit than a neurological fea

Interesting! Gauging from the original Reddit post, it seems that people exist on a spectrum regarding this for whatever reason. This could explain a lot about why some people learn certain stuff faster than others. For example, maths encod
