It changes every time. You can also just have it at night, which I have. Prevents drunk wrong riders.

So? Is the standard now that reasoning using truth tables or reasoning that can be expressed as truth tables doesn’t count?

The airplane has to match the data plate. Otherwise, it will fail inspections because of all those unauthorized modifications.

Yes, but it’s not necessarily unique like a VIN.

The way the Aircraft of Theseus is generally resolved is there’s a piece of metal called the “data plate”. This is the airplane as far as the FAA is concerned. I’ve been in a vintage biplane that was completely rebuilt from the data plate

Thousands as in 2,000+ years? From my understanding that’s rare, at least by geography. I could be wrong. But it’s not like we’re being super precise here. It’s fuzzy enough that lots of takes are correct, depending how you frame it. That’s

You’re right, but you’re being really rude about it. It’s rare (but not impossible) for a people to have been in the same place on Earth for thousands of years. It’s more like hundreds.

There’s a really common cognitive fallacy of “the consequences of that are something I don’t like, therefore it’s wrong”. It’s like reductio ad absurdum, but without the logical consequence of the argument being incorrect , just bad . Y

Oh, interesting. Lots of people that have subvocalized thoughts (which is most people it seems) identify with them so strongly they think it’s who they are.

You were. At least, as long as you don’t take “you” to be just the subvocalized thoughts of your mind. Something that gets in the way of people’s understanding of themselves (not accusing you of this) is thinking that they’re aware of every

I like this idea. I’ve thought of a similar idea at the other end of the limit. How much less intelligent could a species be and evolve to where we’re at? I don’t think much. Once you reach a point where cultural inheritance is possible, th

LLM’s can reason, assuming a definition of “reason” that doesn’t exclude them because of the way they do it. Not all of them and none perfectly, but they certainly have passed the threshold. Try disproving your own theory. Can you craft a p

“Lower class” matches. There was a time that tattoos were seen as something for sailors and convicts.

There’s something about doing the same thing with a tighter feedback loop, higher immediate reward.

Dropout.tv is a counterexample. They're not 20 movies and 5 TV shows, but they're closer to that than they are Disney. There are also all the people who make a living on Patreon.

Critically, this is a stated versus a revealed preference. All these surveys tell you is that people in these groups are less likely to have a self image of valuing impartial news. It doesn’t tell you about their actual habits.

My whole comment was accepting LLMs as intelligent. It’s the first sentence.

Seems pretty reasonable to presuppose this when you filter to people who are literate. That’s darn near a definition of literate, that you can engage with the text intelligently.

You can turn the determinism knob on humans. Psychedelics are one method.

I’ve realized while reading these comments my opinions on LLMs being intelligent has significantly increased. Rather than argue any specific test, I believe no one can come up with a text-based intelligence test that 90% of literate adults

At first I was going to respond this doesn't seem self-evident to me. Using your definitions from your other comment to modify and then flipping it, "Can someone fake logic without being able to perform logic?". I'm at l

As someone who makes dry sarcastic jokes pretty often, I’ve learned you have to really put some ridiculous stuff in there to signal it’s a joke. This also scales with audience size and delivery method. With so many people, you’d actually ha
