the 'no randomness = no free will' argument is pretty common, but how does randomness ensure free will? It's still something out of our control, just it can't be predicited. Why is it any better to be a random automaton

Apple and Google insist their walled gardens are needed for user safety and security, but they can't even catch popular apps violating their own policies. It casts (even more) doubt on their ability to screen for malware, phishing, etc

I do wonder what these people's thought process is, to want to make gay marriage illegal. I grew up in a Christian household, and definitely used to be homophobic, as a sort of default. But once I was old enough to think for myself (I

I don't remember learning to read, or a time in my life where I couldn't read at least a bit. As best I can figure I began reading before my episodic memory fully developed. I do wonder how I managed to learn anything just by read

I think it's two schools of thought, end product vs process. It seems a lot of people who like AI only care about getting the end product, and don't care how it was made. On the other hand, some people are invested in how somethin

I think a lot of these issues could be worked around by having the working state backed up after each step (e.g, make a git commit or similar). The LLM should not have any information about this backup process in its context or access to it

I think AGI, if possible, will require a architecture that runs continuously and 'experiences' time passing, to better 'understand' cause-and-effect. Current LLMs predict a token, have all current tokens fed back in, the

I'd argue that's a pretty good test for an LLM - can it overcome the red herrings and get at the actual problem?

Probably not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers only lists up to a Millinillion, or 10^3003. You can compound them, but it kinda defeats the point. A googol is too small, and a googolplex is too la
