Honestly not sure if this is a bit, it's so on-the-nose... Taking it at face value, you are literally claiming to know precisely what intelligence is? You would be the first to know if so. You should probably publish quickly before s

Yeah... you're supposed to ask the 5%. If you have a habit of asking random lay persons for technical advice, I can see why an idiot chatbot would seem like an upgrade.

This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm most interested in finding on HN. How do other developers work, and how can I get better at my work from it? What's always interesting to me is how many of these I'll see and initially th

Physically, maybe not, but an AGI would know that, would think a million times faster than us, and would have incentive to prioritize disabling our abilities to do that. Essentially, if an enemy AGI is revealed to us, it's probably too

I don't think there's any reasonable way to call that a likely scenario though. If life did emerge on Mars, why wouldn't it also emerge on Earth? For both planets to have life, the most likely explanation is that it's ju
