That's fascinating, especially considering Old testament beliefs regarding the Transcendence of the Torah.

If humans have unique capabilities individually, we would have them collectively as well. I have yet to see a single argument that any biological process can't be replicated or synthesized. Until there is such an argument, it's sp

Seems like a lot of guessing. I'm not convinced AI aren't "thinking" in the same manner we are. Eventually we'll have models trained on speech only, or modes of expression we can't fathom. Humans have no moat.

So since life naturally includes death, we might as well kill everything? I couldn't tell originally if this was a joke, now it seems more like a poorly defined reaction to life's problems. Yes, nuking the entire world would techn

So can many of the people in Turkey, France, Japan, etc. Tangentially related, but how long can languages really be considered a barrier when AI translations are ubiquitous.

That's not usually how comedy writing works. While some comics may write a bit from hundreds of different angles, most I've written with find it hard to deviate from a specific take after it has occured to them, whether or not the

Will this be the case when/if books become largely written with the help of AI? Let alone when AI start writing the books themselves.

The problem is that an such cap or regulation will be geared for the past, not the needs or resources of the future. The free market beats centralized planning for this reason. It allows for new and unforeseeable growth, which your limits w

This is the exact creation of a global monolith that I'm warning against. People hate the companies in power, but believe creating an even more powerful entity will magically address their concerns. That's only true when you get t

Transparency kills greed, but at the cost of privacy. Would you allow yourself to be monitored 24/7, if it meant all resources were justly allocated?

Such a cap would have a whole slew of bad effects, many unforeseeable. It's not even possible to say if the world wide Internet would be possible with an arbitrary size or scope limit. Even worse if it did work; the imposition of such

That level of skepticism implies skepticism of everything else. If you don't know if I'm conscious, then you don't 'know' anything. If you can't separate the internal and the external, then what is there to be

"When can't shut off their money!" Would be a great Bitcoin commercial, except there's no one to make it.

Can the robot ever only scream? Then it's not suffering. Suffering is what creates movement, an internal impulse to an external action. Suffering can only exist if there is any external and an internal, which I'd argue is also a v

Consciousness can be quantified via suffering, suffering can be quantified via stimuli response. I suspect VR/neural implants/etc. will upend Nagel's inconceivability theory. Consciousness can be defined via capability, and w

Livers were considered instruments of prophetic foretelling. It was the eagle that consumed Prometheus is liver during his punishment, and that eagle was the embodiment of Zeus. Zeus sought to consume the liver of foresight, in order to for

Could this be related to Google's log in page change? Seemed cosmetic only, but funny timing that Google's page update happens the same time all these log in issues pop up.

>It is a subjective reality that life is better now than it was prior for practically everyone (in terms of standard of living, not in terms of tragic personal events) I assume you meant to 'objective reality', but that simply

'Better life' or 'worse life' is always subjective, there is no way to objectively quantify what makes one life 'better' than another. You could list every objective measure imaginable (life expectancy, educati

It's not a silicon valley canard to overwhelmingly expect electricity and running water in the US. The difficulties faced by the Navajo are not representative of the country at large. The major service providers have preferred to put i

Amen, 'not now' is belittling no matter the users experience level. The idea that I or anyone would be 'stressed' by an app settings update is absurd, hard to believe anyone believes it. Am I also supposedly 'stress
