Imo, you can have all of the philosophical arguments you want but in the end, how do you make people go along with your goals? Not everyone is ever on board and the 'means' of the famous idiom have looked the same everywhere for m

Where we ironically have AGIs who want to build their own 'Ultimate' AGI to defer decisions to, since they cannot predict the future well enough.

My entirely personal ADHD-diagnosed input is: * Above all: the challenge is to make it as seamless as possible to make a reminder, literally 3 seconds. The google calendar interface is too much of a bother sometimes, so the question is: can

Technology will take a backseat in societies, people will be more skeptical of technology instead of being optimistic about their impact. Just like we've become skeptical of new medical procedures, drugs or products, we'll become

Anecdata: Reportedly my great grandma, born in the 19th century viscerally reacted to things that were fictional movies of the 1960s like they actually happened. She could not distinguish between recorded news and recorded drama. I think it

I'm not a mathematician, so I'm not at the horizon of mathematics - but I can branch off from what's already there to make what I need (and isn't just searchable) consistent with the rest of it. You're arguing that

Mathematics exists, we can build consistent (up to a point of course, not everything can be free of contradiction) models that are pretty rigid.

Problem is, if the machine could hold copyright without significant human authorship, a single entity could create virtually all the pictures conceivable then own the copyright to all of visual art.

The sources of information are the limit though - to make a better world using this sort of 'consumption vote'[0], businesses and their relationships need to be way more transparent, with possibly a regulated transparency. I wonde

The Rust code is still only brute force - using suitable persistent acceleration structures you can probably get a 10x again or maybe even 100x, in 2D a kd-tree is really fast for NNs. So much faster that the allocations for the result will

I would think because an AI could be a perfect liar and good at deception, basically a simulacrum of a human - mimicry that a predator like a vampire would need to blend in enough to be able to hunt.

I live in a German university town and there is not charging port I could use in any paid-for parking garage within 1km of my apartment (or in the entire city that I know of). EVs for now are a thing for people who own houses.
