Out of all of the tools we use to form and stabilize societies, religion is one of the most potent. But it’s still just that, a tool of our own making without any bearing on reality, or any cosmic consequences. So, I think like any tool rel

This isn’t bad, but in some way I think this is taking the average of averages, and I am not sure that’s the nuance or perspective that any issue deserves. But better than nothing, I suppose.

This kind of comment is under appreciated. I don’t have any opinions on the OP, but I really hope that more people would start using statistics published by neutral third-parties, whenever someone puts out some news article, to either suppo

I think it’s the same feeling that every generation experiences when there’s a cultural shift. For example, people during the Industrial Revolution weren’t any less horrified by the machines, see Luddites. But I think this feeling is relate

Model collapse is specific thing by itself, and that term alone cannot capture the range of both social and technical phenomena we are now observing, or hope to observe. That said, there will be a time when deviations in the expected functi

I would have preferred to reserve the term AI psychosis for agentic or autonomous systems experiencing adverse effects from model collapse. While people being impressionable and affected by forces of societal change is not a new phenomenon,

Great. A next iteration could simulate a layer of angles and demons which intercept prayers to God, or a parallel process to simulate prayers redirecting to prophets or saints,

A couple of things I'll point out. Evolution occurs at the level of population genetics, and it's not concerned with finding a stable state for any characteristic, at least not directly. But more importantly to your question, the

I would focus on doing the best work you can because you’ll get better references that way. A year will end in the blink of an eye. I suggest taking up side projects outside of work hours for mental stimulation.

How is the CEO chosen? I assume it’s likely via board members, who may get input from shareholders. In practice, it will distill into a democratic process, so is that the intent? Overall, this sounds similar to how the Roman senate chose it

Why did developers spread the idea of AI consciousness for LLMs in the first place? The usefulness and capability of an LLM is orthogonal to its capacity to develop consciousness. I think people would use LLMs with more detachment if they d

Sentience isn’t difficult to define, it’s well understood in the context of neuroscience. The question I guess is how do we measure AI pain? It’s hard to quantify the magnitude of pain in biological organisms, but we do have reliable ways t

Eventually, but as it is right now, it seems these are simply mirror images of what people are. I am worried about how impressionable and easy to manipulate some people might be because of this. But I suppose it’s not any different than som

Sure, it’s a fair point that there’s no need to assume irrationality on the part of a moral agent, or unnecessarily characterizing some actions as immoral. It’s harder to justify voting behavior which doesn’t prioritize national interests o

Democracy is sometimes a lesson in priorities. The polling figures showed by the author in the beginning of the article are missing other dimensions where Americans also wanted action, and which differ from the Democratic agenda, so a Repub

An important concept for encouraging altruistic behavior is the idea of passing it on, that is if you do something for someone, it’s expected that they should do something similar for someone else, and preferably whatever it is, should be w
