I acknowledge it seems I'm dismissing and even excusing people who are racists. This is definitely not the case. Let's pretend there are no races for a second. What would racist people do? They would probably still hate on "o

Then we should hunt down this racist people, regardless of what their race is. It doesn't matter that the people doing this are white or whatever, what matters is that they're acting that way.

That's true, in practice it's different and it could be hard. But still, companies that take into consideration this incorrect categorization are exacerbating the problem, because I'm sure there are alternatives to helping un

Yes, I'm saying it's a wrong categorization, and inaccurate. People inaccurately categorize themselves as well. It would be more accurate to not refer to those categories as race, but as sub-cultures, because then it becomes somet

I agree it may be idealistic, especially because part of the problem is people thinking themselves into a category, and adopting it as an identity. It is however the right direction, because all this "racial" problems are caused b

Yes, I'm mostly a liberal, but I agree that it fails completely to see certain truths if the truth even remotely violate political correctness.

Nope. But I don't know what you're getting at. As a programmer, I just care that you write good code. In fact, I might as well be interacting with your mind across the internet, and don't even have to look at you in the face,

Well, first, this talk is mostly about gender, which is completely different than race. If you think about what race really is, it's not what it seems (unlike sex and gender, which have not only a more consistent historical difference,

I would expect more from a tech company that is supposed to be by programmers for programmers. Programmers are abstract thinkers, and it's disgusting to see them lower themselves and adopt the semantics and memes of obvious cultural co

This is true of ANN, and deep learning. They are mathematical models of learning that are finally practical after a couple decades (not to diminish anything the researchers have accomplished which is incredible). Then there are biologically

Seems AGI is the rage these days. David Deutch has an article and outlines a good point. We won't have an AGI before a good theory of consciousness. Some philosopher will first need to explain consciousness in detail (more so than Dan

This is great. From my experience a lot of the pain in UI comes from thinking the backend model will just plug into the front-end model. It is evident that UI models need to have a layer for processing the data unless you are coding a trivi

So sad. I wanted him to survive until a true AI breakthrough happens, which seems so close (granted for many decades now, but that's why).

I think that's interesting as well. I would have guessed he was a Neat from his talks and his admiration of AGI because it implies he agrees there will have to be a succinct theory of general intelligence/consciousness.

Very interesting read, and I always knew about this being an avid gamer since as far as I can remember. It always intrigued me how a computer can play against a human, and as games got more sophisticated, interacting with AI's got more

FPS's is only one genre. Not to mention, they are already being used by the military with exactly that purpose, so we've already failed at this. Whatever our true nature of humans is, an AGI will just help us get their quicker.

How would it not? Instead of AI, think of building a digital brain. This brain will think everything a human brain can think but leveraging ALL the power of computers! It could easily solve world's most difficult problems in a matter o

David Deustch has an article online somewhere and his conclusion is that the leap has to be made by philosophy first. We need to first figure out the theory of intelligence and potentially consciousness first, and then information theory wi

Right, no debate there. They're inspired by biological neurons. But it's still a step in the right direction. The facts are we have billions of neurons and there's some form of information processing going on. Perhaps we coul

Another article basically saying something along the lines of "there is no current technology that comes close to producing AGI, therefore let's dismiss all these technologies". Of course we don't know what we don't

At least Elon Musk is not really implying what technology will get us there. He is assuming that once we do, it has serious implications. It's hard to disagree with that. We will be sharing the planet with another intelligent creature

Great read. Indeed programming is not a 'gentle art', I would say it's a 'brutal art'. There was an article outlining a continuum between art and science, where engineering was somewhere in the middle. Art is the le
