Those arguments do not transfer well to the AGI topic. You can't create counter-AGI, since that's also an intelligent agent which would be just as dangerous. And chips are more bottlenecked than biologics (... though gene synthesi

Freely flying through the sky on wings was scifi before the wright brothers. Something sounding like scifi is not a sound argument that it won't happen. And unlike lizard people we do have exponential curves to point at. Something stro

Since we're looking towards the future and asking whether there is an advantage of the basic materials (organic vs. inoraganic) I'm talking about the physical limits of those substrates, whether there's anything special about

... after regulation, court orders and fines have failed. Which under the premise that AGI is an existential threat would be far more reasonable than many other reasons for raids. If the premise is wrong we won't need it. If society co

That's an argument about complexity. And "organic" simply means based on molecules with a carbon backbone. They're versastile, but that does not give them any known information processing advantage over silicon. If analo

In the sense that any other government regulation is also ultimately backed by the state's monopoly on legal use of force when other measures have failed. And contrary to what some people are implying he also proposes that everyone is

That's like complaining about artificial, non-organic flight being a fantasy before the wright brothers. Which would not have been entirely wrong, but hardly a knockout argument as we now know with certainty. There is a vast difference

The understanding is not a prerequisite to build one though. Evolution didn't need it. And all the functionality that already emerges from ANNs doesn't need it either. You mostly need to understand the optimizer, not the result. O

Evolution is an incredibly dumb, very parallel search over long timescales and that managed to turn blobs of carbon soup into brains because that's a useful (but not necessary) tool for its primary optimization goal. But that doesn&#x2

If you want security, pay for independent code audits (not compliance bullshit). Repeatedly. Don't offload your desires onto one-man-shows that the world decided are useful tools.

You probably should have replied that to the GP, not me. I only clarified that what they were suggesting already is the case.

Note that the xz CLI does not expose all available compression options of the library. E.g. rust release tarballs are xz'd with custom compression settings. But yeah, zstd is good enough for many uses.

Planes that kill freely consenting adults would be fine. But the tricky part is that this would also exclude employees of aircraft companies since they can't be directed to fly on such a plane. If the CEO of Boeing were willing to pilo

For the real heroics we'd need cooperation from the manufacturer. Such as using monoisotopic diamond as substrate or putting some channels for liquid helium into the chip.

It works if you're a black hole or a chunk of degenerate matter. For transatmospheric orbits being a large ball of iridium will work too.

Occasionally malware groups do patch vulnerabilities to maintain exclusive control over the victim machines. But that wouldn't be my default expectation, so relying on virus software to provide security does not seem like a great idea.
