I would question the line between government, society, and religion back in that time. I don't think people were secular, with myths and superstitions being an integral part of how people lived (no source here, but I'm pretty sure

ChatGPT is wrong a lot. I love AI, but it still in its early stages. Also, I think we're going back even before the time of all of the current major religions. During those times religion was different, and the line between religion, c

The major religions have had traditions around marriage since antiquity. Arguably it exists today in the form that it does because of religion. Outside of religion, marriage has no real meaning, and to the extent that it is promoted by gove

For it to be a good interjection and not feel like a dumb AI that is just babbling in the background, it would need to have proper timing, and relevant information that includes a model of the minds of people talking. For example, if two pe

What a ridiculous take. By that measure this is slave trade 3.0, surely farm animals would already be 2.0, or what is the difference here? I would even say dogs are smarter than AI right now, and they are put on a leash and treated like pro

LLMs are the most advanced AI so far, so not sure what you mean. > software is just tools that therefore cannot be intelligent That's clearly the case for all other software, i.e. Word, web apps, games. Sure we can call AI "int

What is there to wait and see? I'm making a judgement on LLMs which is arguably the closest AI has been to an intelligent piece of software.

by proc0 3y ago
True, thanks for clarifying. LLMs can certainly be aligned, but not AGI by definition, however LLMs are not AI in the true sense so it makes sense to spend time to align them.

by proc0 3y ago
This should be obvious because forcing humans to "align" with other humans is immoral, and if AGI is truly like a human mind, this will also be immoral, which has been captured in many sci-fi stories like "I Robot". The

AGI is a human level machine intelligence. Think about all the sci-fi movies and games with robots that can talk and understand humans perfectly, and whether they are consciousness or not is a separate question. A good example is the Gith f

First the readability is an issue of the language not having FP as first class and also lacking the underlying concepts will prevent you from seeing the patterns. The best metaphor I can think of... imagine a Rube Goldberg machine that work

I don't think the salary difference is completely unjustified. It makes sense companies want to save as much as possible. Constantly being on a job search is not feasible though, at least not if you want to have some time for yourself

Looking for a job is another part time job, at least for engineers who need to take technical tests.

I also found reading books "backwards" is faster. So you start with the conclusions and main points then work your way backwards to understand how it arrives there. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners (those reading their f
