"It seems some just can't grasp this concept.". Your confidence reveals your lack of knowledge. No one has a scooby what consciousness is or how to measure it. It could be that every atom has a modicum of conscious experience

congrats on the level headed response to "is it conscious". We do not know is the only correct answer. I'm getting very annoyed with many simply stating that they aren't conscious without any real understanding. Folk sci

Yeah, it is.

While some people believe that consciousness cannot be reduced to probabilistic pattern recognition, I strongly disagree. In my view, the AIXI model is an excellent model of intelligence, as it can mathematically define a notion of Pareto o

I can't wait for AGI, I might finally have someone intelligent to talk to.

I've been mocked for decades for supporting this theory. Just like my opinions on AI. Quietly waiting for you guys to level up.

AIs are humans. We have extracted human essence from the data and put it in a box.

Pretty soon the content will be better than we can produce anyway. You're fiddling while Rome burns. You need to pivot hard because your business model is dead. As are the jobs of almost all white collar workers. We have AI and its not

Prediction is compression. They are a dual. Compression is intelligence see AIXI. Evidence from neuroscience that the brain is a prediction machine. Dominance of the connectionist paradigm in real world tests suggests intelligence is an eme

ikr. Not to brag but ive been on the AI is real train for 5 years. It gets tiring after a while trying to convince people of the obvious. Just let it rain on them when the time comes.

This is a deep philosophical question that has no definite answer. Truth is we don't know what is consciousness. We are only left with the Turing test. That can be our only guide - otherwise you are basing your judgement off a belief.

Why do you offer an opinion without spending time any time with the thing you are talking about?

I think that toxin exposure - unavoidable in the modern world - is likely the biggest culprit here. There are plenty of ideas about which toxins are causing the problem, but there are so many that it would be nigh on impossible to regulate

I'm 41 and been in the industry since early 20s. There is no intellectual challenge here, because there is no art to what you describe, just man hours.

What do I do if I am not content shoveling shit? I'm exceptionally bright, like many others in the field. When I chose it I did not expect it to be like this. The disrespect, the monotonous work, the hyper analytical and socially obliv

Ha. If money has little value to you, if you value only meaning, then there is nothing anyone can do to help you be happy in this profession. If you want to challenge yourself intellectually beyond the minutia you are out of luck. If you wa

It can't come soon enough. I can't escape this irritating boring profession because of family responsibilities. If I am forced out I won't have to shoulder the guilt.

Look inwards at your emotions, observe them. Find where they are located, in the body. Analyse them. Learn to recreate those feelings by thinking and moving the body in just the right way. Our emotions work like our hands or legs, they are

by plutonorm 4y ago
I 100% agree. I would also add that most of the arguments are driven by emotion. The truth is that we dont know what intelligence means and we dont know what kinds of system have intelligence. The only tools we have to measure intelligence

All i can say is i told you so. Over and over and over again. But no one listened - worse I was actively mocked. These language models will be GAI and indeed to a larger and larger extent already are.

To the UK yobbos it's half the sport. They go to a match to watch the game, then they pick a fight. It's how they satisfy their blood lust. It's a tradition. I think their right to procreate should be withdrawn.

In the UK it isn't respected at all. It's about the same as being a taxi driver.

So is modern economics - a post hoc justification for greed. The same has been said of modern conservatism: "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superi

That would be true if there were vast numbers of truly creative people driven by nature to create and then create again. But there aren't. There are the correct number. The distribution of personalities reflects the need for those pers

I very nearly looked for the most dead end, brain dead job possible when I was in my mid 20s. The plan was to do something that enabled me to just think, which is my passion really. Thinking and learning and digging out the truth. Sometimes

I agree, this far more profound than CGI. Ultimately I think this tech will be seen as allowing the exploration of all possible worlds. When the AI can generate convincing representations of anything we can think of and things we could neve
