Again, I'm not making the claim that neural nets will lead to AGI. I was only commenting on the claim that they can't or won't just because they don't accurately model the human brain.

I was just commenting on how you weren't really backing up your statement that parent had 'been had'. He thinks neural networks could eventually lead to AGI. You said he was wrong because neural networks aren't really

Regardless, neural nets could eventually lead to AGI.

For VCs who focus on AI, I think it would actually be irresponsible if they didn't show interest in a start up that was garnering so much praise from AI experts. Its not as if term sheets were sent.

Sure if one out of every three had vomit, syringes, or feces it would be a huge problem. One out of three seems incredibly unlikely and off by at least a couple of orders of magnitude.

You may want to consider the possibility that you have generalized anxiety disorder. The symptoms are vast, constantly changing, and often different from person to person. Some of the things you've described like PVCs, digestive issue

I too have met some extremely intelligent smokers. But, I think you may be missing the point. This study doesn’t provide evidence that pollution by itself hinders your cognition. Rather that pollution (or some other urban-related phenomen

Some of the more dangerous pollutants are ultra-fine particles (less than 100nm in size). I wonder how effective these masks are for trapping these particles. I can only find information on how well they trap particles larger than 100nm.

I'm a huge believer in the power of the individual, and under today's conditions I wouldn't support a universal basic income. But in a possible future where AI is sufficiently advanced to handle the majority of 'jobs&#x

I admit I haven't given it a whole lot of thought, but, for the US at least, I see it happening slowly over time as a smooth extension of welfare, not as some piece of landmark legislation. As automation increases and jobs become more

> ”Will I survive?” seems, I said, equivalent to “Will there be some person alive who is the same person as me?” Although taking these two questions as equivalent does simplify the thought experiment, it goes so strongly against my intui

I don't disagree. For the record, I didn't make the original comment.

You are making assumptions. I never claimed I don't think freewill exists. Also, why would the absence of freewill prevent your mind from being changed based on the evidence another presents to you?

by thomyorkie 10y ago
I think argument still has a place in a world where freewill is illusory. Surely, one's opinions can change when presented with new evidence, regardless of whether that change originated from a free agent's conscious choice or a m

No need to be condescending. Can you tell me what the likelihood of a nuclear attack by terrorists will be in 10 years, 20 years? How about if Iran develops nuclear weapons? Do you think 9/11 will be the worst terrorist attack we wil

Freedoms and proactive steps to mitigate an attack are not mutually exclusive.

If one has a tendency to reach unreasonable conclusions, is it not justified to question their ability to be reasoned with?
