To clarify, cave paintings are a more human invention than cooking with fire, but we wouldn’t have gotten to cave paintings without first using tools and fire. So to the premise of the article in question, it’s not simply a matter of one of

Collectively, at least, people have always been fascinated by this idea of humanity, and the ideals it encompasses, but ten different people will have a different definition of what it means to be human. That’s fine, actually, because it de

Old news but pertinent based on recent events. Unless “AI” becomes more than a probabilistic model, it’s not going to be anymore useful than any person’s gut instincts trained on millions of years of evolution. Gut instincts, like models wh

I don’t think desktop gpus are going to move the needle for embodied AI robotics, at least not for on-board processing. The bottleneck currently is in making better models run on more resource-constrained devices, and there are different wa

The seat of civilization is in Mesopotamia, so no this hypothesis doesn’t exactly hold up. The cultural exchange and wars between the ancient eastern and western civilizations aided their evolution before colonization took place. People use

What am I buying, just sharing what I noticed. The US houses most of the top large cap companies in the world, it still has plenty of appeal, the companies need to balance their hiring with profitability, and maybe that means hiring H1Bs wi

The idea of reparations is both a fascinating economic and social problem to think about. I personally think reparations at a group or nation state level are impractical and infeasible, but maybe someone could show a paper or two on how the
