The eventual babelfish trained using unsupervised alignment may make things like bird->human or octopus->human possible(or mycellial mass, if it turns out to be intelligent). I have a suspicion that in the future human-centric mono-sp

Mention anything about working with blockchains on HN and you get downvoted. I'm not sure how this place became so close-minded, or if HN was always this way and I changed. A side project is risk. It's time and money that you in

The way I understand regulation is that it usually entrenches the existing players, making it even harder to fail.

Government bodies don't care about your private data or they would disband the NSA. They will however copy the GDPR as an excuse to create tools to prevent disruption, manipulate markets, and to expand their organizational reach.

It's the start of a post scarcity society. I'll take the not having to work and having a cure for every disease route of history, even if it's bumpy. There are real threats to the transition though. My honest fear is that t

Isn't that the turing test? I'm excited about the potential of passing it in my lifetime.

Can you elaborate why making AI pose as humans is unethical?

Then when Amazon creates a new distribution mechanism using AI they'll be surprised. I like the dream of decentralized delivery agents where no central authority can take a cut or intercede. Edit: What the hell, it turns out amazon del

I'm of course against racism. If epigenetics is multi-generational then what of things like slavery and the ungodly number of atrocities littering our history, both race-based or otherwise. What things do we do now that are going to b

Slippery slope here. Most people don't understand or accept evolution, even engineers. For example, anyone who accepts equitable distribution of attributes across genetic variances(a commonly accepted social narrative). Evolution is

That's not a rebuttal. It's absolutely non-technical gatekeepers looking for certificates. Graduates get mad because they realize they've wasted a bunch of money on something they can learn for free, so they reject the notio

This is commonplace. I think it's due to the dilbert effect. If you can't judge candidates based on ability, you have to judge them based on accreditation. Larger organizations tend to have more layers of non-technical people e

I'm not sure about that paper. It's based on someone's research who works at the census bureau and a university professor. They're interest is also in making their employer look good. Also the paper ends in "we al

When people losing their jobs due to government overreach makes you happy, check your motivations.

I'm not making that argument. It's a reflection of how the law is about expanding government power without considering technology.

Tax dollars at work. Complete waste of money and time. How about clarifying a path forward for people instead of the vague threat of prison and fines. Also the howey test was invented in the 40s, it's stupid and lazy to apply it here
