Yes and no. By definition, the company does what those in power make it do, even if it is against the profits. No company can operate independently with zero margin however.

In any dictatorship, the behavior of the organization will grow to reflect that of the dictator. And Mark has the majority of voting shares.

I beg to differ. The purpose of the company is what those in power of the company decide it to be. While in the absolute majority of cases it is profit, there _are_ exceptions. Most notable exception would be SpaceX, which has its sights se

You lost me at the last sentence. (Jk, actually at Joscha Bach). The thing is, there is no consensus on what intelligence or smartness or any concept adjacent is. The layman notion is indeed wrong. But reading psychology and neuroscience wi

Yeah, the problem with models of cognition is that networks are actually a very low-level framework to store information, meaning that both the possible methods to learn and to store are numerous. The model would have to strongly conform to

Actually most of the problems you described are relevant and do exist in the objective world. The problem of the problem of consciousness is that there is no aspect in the definition of consciousness which couldn't be explained by obje

The so-called "hard problem of consciousness" may be a problem through which one may find a suitable definition for their own humanity, but it absolutely is not a scientific problem. If one wishes to gain concrete data, one needs

I know you will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're just stating that the world operates on quantum fields. I'm not questioning that. It is just that the fact that our universe harbors intelligent life, and perhaps

Actually it would make physics easier to simulate in some cases, depending on what you'd like to achieve. Specifically, if you wanted random outcomes calculated at interaction, waves allow you to describe the potential positions contin

I assume that the numbers reported (one comment quoted 6/39000) are actually lowballed, since you constantly hear about cases where symptoms obviously relevant to covid/vaccines are dismissed as not connected. I would guess decisi

Employees have said that its amazing to work with very smart people there. That being said, I'd be a bit worried that the ultimate owner of the AI work done there is Google. THAT being said, Google has been very open-sourcy about their

That's a bit pessimistic. Internet has its ups and downs, I'm not entirely sure what its net value is at the end. But that's why I said that AI must be implemented right. It has both the power to be extremely good or extremel

It depends on the type of work. Generally and counterintuitively, the more individual random variables the work contains the easier it is to estimate. This is because random variations cancel each other out when they are in large quantities

Probably true ai. It has good potential to revolutionize the way society itself is organized if it is implemented right.

Isn't that precisely what it means? You are aware of something, thus you can take it and its aspects into consideration in your calculations. You have a representation of yourself - same thing. Of course your representation may not be

I find it baffling how Blue Origin is making sure that there is a strong force within NASA to never grant them any contract, ever.

Seeing how aggressively Blue Origin is ready to take legal action, it would be almost a miracle if the paper had more signatures. Sure, it might be fake, but I'd say that the odds of it being real are higher.

Blue Origin is well on its way of becoming the most unpopular company in the world. They might already hold that spot in the space category.

I don't understand the wording: "Our method, SILO, superoptimizes programs an expected 6.2% of our test set when compared with the gcc version 10.3 compiler's aggressive optimization level -O3." Does that mean that the r

I might be wrong, but I don't think they report cases prevented with post-exposure treatment as cases. This would mean that the 1-3 cases are equal to 1-3 deaths.

When a private company with a market share of information as large as Youtube acts as an arbitrer of truth, regulation to prevent this would be nice, yes.

People don't see what the actual problem here is - perhaps because they don't want to see. What is happening is very much the transformation from an open society to one where freedom of speech is limited and certain other individu

To be clear, I'm not arguing that this is a good system. I'm simply stating that it is the way it is right now. And while these counterforces are indeed gaining traction, they are still far away from toppling the status quo.
