Yes, but the other ones we don't like for ethical reasons, rather than religious reasons.

To put what I said another way, math may be infinite in principle, but the creatures in our universe can only conceive of or perceive so much of it: a finite amount. We (or our constructs) can plausibly mine all there is and then there'

There are lots of thoughts you’re not biologically capable of thinking. That means the list of thoughts you’re capable of thinking is finite. That means the amount of math you’re capable of discovering, even if you lived forever, is finite.

Because the bounded universe creates bounds on what the intelligences within it can conceive of as mathematics. We can conceive of lots of mathematics that our own universe doesn't necessarily support. But only that much and no more: w

The universe imposes strict limits on the math that can exist within it, and certain broader limits on the math the creatures and well-organized sand within the universe can conceive of in the first place, whether or not it can maybe exist

Same reason Gary Kasparov and Lee Sedol started their morning in one universe and ended their evening in another. Brute Force or not, the game is being played and won without them all of a sudden, and even worse: at a level of output far be

The value of this to me would be breaking up a 12 ~ 16 hour flight into multi-day stopovers instead, so that any given flight leg isn't more than say 5 hours. I can spend a day or three somewhere before I'm ready to fly onward. If

They do make decisions: we present them with options and they decide We might override them or ignore them or whatever, but they make decisions as much as anybody else or anything else does

I’m an elevator operator. You tell me what floor you’d like and I press the button or control the switch. I also make casual conversation about the weather and yesterday’s sports highlights, which automatic elevators can’t do. Can I join?

Lately I leave my MacBook Pro at home and Codex remote for everything. It’s a dream. But what’s missing is manual in-browser testing, on the go. This solves that.

A live presentation fail could take 5~15% off their stock price in minutes, for no good reason at all. People’s life savings are at stake.

It's not really a thought-terminating cliche. Concrete issues (e.g. iPads in the classroom result in worse tested recall) retain plenty of space. It's the vague repetitive "man yells at cloud" gripes that get auto-termin

It's cliche because every generation has said the exact same thing about the previous generation. Everything that was considered fancy and high-culture when I was in my formative years is fancy and high-culture now and everything after

I'm fully sure that if ASI doesn't "solve death" then neither will anybody else. It's either AI or I get very sick and die, so my money is (literally) on AI, and the faster the better.

That will successfully prevent 200% of market multipliers: bubbles and just plain sudden rapid value creation. It's like cutting out the prostate from all men at age 30 to prevent nearly 100% of prostate cancer.
