I don't know if there is research into this, didn't see it mentioned here, but this is the most probable path to something like AI consciousness and AGI. Of course it's highly speculative but video to world simulation is how

Is there any discussion on a variable minimum wage based on relative factors like company size, profit margins, etc.? Instead of a global minimum, just add factors that target whatever problem needs to be solved. Surely nobody wants to bank

I lived there more than 10 years and developed something like PTSD because of all my encounters with the "unhoused". I feared for my life multiple times (actual physical threats), and the police consciously ignored it after filing

Now someone please let software companies know they need this as a separate, explicit role, instead of trying to make all their teams have only product engineers. Product engineers are great at small companies that need people to take on mu

Ah, nice, I'll need to get back on it. Basically this config context contains the relationship between (the equivalent of) Views, Models, and Controllers. The components are separate files, and are only referenced in the config along w

This is cool. I was trying something along these lines with PureScript. May main motivation was this: > For instance, a to-do item will only "run" once, and any additional updates will need to happen via calls using its control

That's true, although if the analogy holds then it depends on the initial quality of the teams, but I have no idea if there is any solution around incentivizing companies to build long-lasting teams.

I've wondered about the connection between organizations at the human level, and entropy. Nothing can avoid the increase in entropy, not even teams and their work culture. The processes used get old and unwieldy, domain knowledge becom

I see, in that case I would grant it for biology but not so much for AI, at least not yet.

> Over-engineering is an attempt to predict the future, while quality-engineering is maximizing extensibility. That's not really over-engineering, but rather building incorrect abstractions or building at the wrong abstraction level

Aside from consciousness, you can understand those processes by studying the respective fields. It's true for non-experts that don't have the foundational knowledge.

Interesting, although not sure about the grey goo stuff. That sounds like it would take years even for a super intelligence. I think the worst possible scenario is an AGI taking control of all computers because it can duplicate itself and t

There is probably a lot of overlap given MS will have a lot of infrastructure and expertise in the same are. Blizzard had so many issues even before the acquisition.

Yes, I agree on that one, 2077 focused more on the individual's perspective. The world seems to be overflowing with conspiracy theories in the past 5+ years though, I feel like Deus Ex has so much to work with.

I think that still remains to be seen. Elden Ring did well (granted it mas multiplayer but it's not the main experience), Resident Evil games still do well, in the West there is Alan Wake 2, Senua's Sacrifice, and the others you a

Yes, it definitely has amazing detail in its design and world building. The moral subject matters it deals with though, seem to be more superficial compared to Deus Ex, in my opinion. You have similar themes, but with different impact on th

My top rec would be Factorio if you like sandbox building games (almost RTS, but not quite). Talos Principle 2 is the best puzzle game I've played (might not be indie, but I don't think it's a large studio). Last Epoch is a

Sure, but we're talking about one of the most influential franchises of all time. If done right I'm sure it could break records. We're in the perfect time for the subject matter it deals with. Cyberpunk 2077 proves there is a

I'm calling it now, this is like the War on Drugs. Banning it will only create an underground environment with even less oversight, not to mention the burning desire kids have for doing things they should not be doing, which is guarant

Hope this isn't to give up on the franchise because if they can't make Deus Ex work, they are absolutely incompetent. I wouldn't be surprised, lots of AAA companies giving up on legendary IPs, thinking that they need some new

There is no mention or even an attempt at trying to figure out why that would be someone's reaction. He's not the only one, many people have left SF including myself. My conclusion was also that the city was getting mismanaged. Th

I would agree for different reasons. Software Eng. takes on a different meaning in the industry... unfortunately for some reason, because it seems to be somewhat different in other engineering fields. I think most companies hiring SEs reall

Right, but technically OpenAi (or Midjourney) isn't the one explicitly generating the copyrighted image. Their tool is, but not based on their own intentions, and it seems that responsibility is on the user who generated the prompt. I

Wouldn't copyright infringement with AI only apply if you try and sell a product or make money with it? I would think OpenAI would just insert some disclaimer making the user responsible for the final use of the image or output, since

Well then that contradicts the claim of the research in the article, which is fine. I'm just assuming it's correct and then asking questions based on that, mainly how it relates to when humans developed language (not the spoken wo

From reading popular evolutionary science, if I recall, it's the dates of the first cave drawings or other evidence of symbolic thinking like scratch marks on bones to count something. These point to 20-40K years ago.

I wonder then if the start of carnivorous diet began around the time humans are thought to have developed language (or more specifically symbolic thinking and/or imagination), I think 20,000 year ago?. Maybe that was the beginning of d
