Combine such a capability with neuroscience and imagine the possibilities!

Most of my work is motivated by the desire to become financially independent. If someone just hands me financial independence, why should I work? If most people are as lazy as I, where does the money for UBI come from?

If all politicians are corrupt this would also be true.

Solmonoff induction would imply the algorithm that learns the rules of arithmetic will have the most concise model for the data. But, it is unclear these gpt-3 type algorithms are solomonoff learners.

My favorite is "Learning from Data". Builds from first principles and simple algorithms, so I really understand what makes machine learning work, and how to debug as well as build my own techniques vs use off the shelf black boxe

I remember in high school learning electrons were balls. Then, later I learn they are actually fields. Was I lied to?

That's what tends to happen with pandemics. Established religion loses authority, and scientists who can heal people gain authority. Then scientist take their newfound authority and invent world destroying super weapons and tell human

They can, but mostly men like to waste their youth on such moonshots.

I am just saying the small grant makes a lot of sense from the YC worldview. And, if someone has family, house, etc. to provide stability do they need YC financial assistance?

Maybe the point of economic filtering is to only accept single young men, who can devote every waking moment to their startup without any concern for dependents and such. You can get great velocity from such a pool. Myself, with family, mo

Same sort of generative probabilistic model idea.

Yes, I would fail any sort of math exam if I used the GPT-3 model.

Exactly. Even gpt3 is not creating new content. It is just permuting ecisting content while retaining some level of coherence. I don't reason by repeating various tidbits I've read in books in random permutations. I reason by

Also weird is Fauci both promoted this sort of research and oversaw the funding line that went to the Wuhan lab that funded a very similar research in 2019. My theory is this is an accidental lab outbreak, and Fauci is advising because he

I ran a blast query against the cov2 glycoprotein that binds to human ACE2, and it just pops out of nowhere in 2020. There is a difference of like 30 amino acids from anything that came before, which is much too great to be explained by th

Neat fact: entropy and expected algorithmic information are asymptotically equivalent. Two quite different approaches to information theory converge.

Is there a good resource to learn more? I went to a fertility clinic and was told nothing really could be done lifestylewise to improve motility. They seemed to think IVF and IUI are the only way, which they offered for a fair chunk of ch

It's convenient the natural hierarchy tells one lineage of human beings their entire purpose in life is to serve the people who discovered the "natural hierarchy". Reminds me of more recent discoverors of the "natural h

I don't think it is dualist, or at least I didn't get that impression reading Dreyfus. It is more that knowledge is part of a system as a whole and cannot be captured piecemeal, which is how we'd have to do it if we created

Is it in the West or Non West where these horrible trangressions are openly discussed and citizens freely elect new officials and educate themselves so such things can never happen again?

Dictatorships can work great, but all it takes is one bad dictator and you are hosed. E.g. the complete ceasation of progress in China once emporers decided to cut off access to the outside world and outlaw logic.
