Something I don't see mentioned in the article is the obvious hypocrisy and lack of accountability for making bad decisions. If solar is so bad for prices which affect poor people, then doesn't it follow that the government should

Ok, if you mean the Bay Area, yes. Silicon Valley is really the Peninsula. SF is an expensive garbage dumpster that is on a downhill spiral.

This is why I hack the registry to stop updates. I'm on earlier build that is pretty stable, and I am tired of updates breaking this stability for no benefit to me. Software companies have a toxic business model at the moment. They mak

At least from my experience it tends to be that outsourcing agencies who often supply H1B candidates are not finding the most experienced or talented people. i'm guessing that CS degrees are still better in the US on average.

They can't be tax free then. Surely this is unconstitutional.

I've always played a few games for many hours as opposed to many games for one playthrough. Subscription just does not make sense for me, and I suspect that's a big part of the market. Add to this the fact that you have no control

My hesitation is around high end settings, can Proton run 240hz on 1440p and high settings? I'm switching anyway soon and might just have a separate machine for gaming but I'd rather it be Linux. SteamOS looks promising if they re

"good at the job" is elusive and vaguely defined in most companies. They want you be a part of the company and get excited for the product and invest all of your focus in it. It's an unwritten rule but it's there. People

Movies don't need this, books don't need this. This is to make more money at the cost of privacy. It's always framed as if they care. They don't, and that's why it's sinister.

Absolutely. There is currently no accountability for companies making bad decisions. They can hire people make bad decisions and then let them go. This feels wrong in a system where worker rights are supposedly championed. At-will employme

Conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this one. Considering there have been bioengineering experiments with mosquitoes, it's even plausible.

Certainly with that attitude it is. Joke aside I suspect the flaw in this hypothesis is probably in how AGI is defined and/or constrained: > True AGI—a system capable of general intelligence without human input—cannot exist. "w

This is an excellent take and I agree with most of it. Current AI is still narrow AI but in the domain of pattern matching, which gives the illusion that it's understanding and processing things like a human. Despite its shortcomings i

Interaction is just another computation, and clearly we can interact with computers, and also simulate that interaction within the computer, so yes Turing machines can handle it. I'll check out Wegner.

The paper is skipping over the definition of AI. It jumps right into AGI, and that depends on what AI means. It could be LLMs, deep neural networks, or any possible implementation on a Turing machine. The latter I suspect would be extremely

This article seems to be conflating AI with deep neural networks and its associated architectures like LLMs and transformers. It could well be that the path forward is a completely different foundational paradigm. It would still be AI but i

"the system of international laws and treaties" are only effective to the extent that someone is going to enforce it, and that someone is the US and its allies. So ultimately it's military power that matters. The status quo i

Interesting. Sounds like a rewrite would be faster since the game itself doesn't seem that complicated.
