I think program size is probably not a good measure since any heuristic you can put in could be discovered at runtime with a metaheuristic that searches for good heuristics. Time and memory make more sense.
When trying to look infer people's motives don't just look at what they are doing. Look also at what they aren't doing. Alternatives they had and rejected.
If marketing it was the sole objective there are many other stories they could have told, but didn't.
They can market it like a normal product. Say how good it is and how much more productive people will be and what kind of capabilities it will unlock without mentioning any downside. To investors: How it's a paradigm shift, with a winner takes all dynamic and how important it is to be first.
I feel like there is a lot of waste in packaging specifically. Like way, way more colorful plastic polymers go into the trash way faster making products look appealing on the shelf than from clothing. Don't have the numbers to back it up though.
I dont really care about waste too much as I think it's a non-issue blown out of proportion, but mandating standards and interoperability creates a lot of value for consumers and prevents anticompetive behavior.
I've thought about this possibility but come to reject it. If mind-matter interactions did not exist, then matter could not detect the presence of mind. And if the brain cannot detect the mind then we wouldn't be able to talk or write about the mind.
From a physics point of view should be as every effect is caused by previous state. And next tick is always next tick, except quantum bacause has some randomness, but let’s assume it’s a seeded randomness.
I think every tick is predictable from previous state. Inevitable. Therefore I really like how you put it: mind is just spectating.
Yes. That doesn't make it a spectator. The rock is a participant in the predetermined progression.
The "spectator mode" thing you replied to was a totally different concept, where the "mind" is some weird parasite to your brain and you'd walk and talk the same even if you didn't have a "mind". Which is quite a weird idea in my opinion.
I have had a set of like 15 t-shirts that I wash and tumble dry after one day of wear. After a decade of service some of them are showing signs of wear, but the majority are still in good condition.
My over ear 3.5mm headphones are still going doing well after 7 years.
After watching some up and coming band live, I can find their music on spotify available for listening without ads included in my existing subscription.
You will need a lot of evidence to make such a counterintuitive claim, when surgically eliminating your enemies without bothering anyone else is such a logical strategy.
> otherwise the concept of responsibility loses all value.
Frankly, I think that might be exactly where we end up going. Finding a responsible person to punish is just a tool we use to achieve good outcomes, and if scare tactics is no longer applicable to the way we work, it might be time to discard it.
A brave new world that is post-truth, post-meaning, post-responsibility, and post-consequences. One where the AI's hallucinations eventually drag everyone with it and there's no other option but to hallucinate along.
It's scary that a nuclear exit starts looking like an enticing option when confronted with that.
Ultimately the goal is to have a system that prevents mistakes as much as possible adapts and self-corrects when they do happen. Even with science we acknowledge that mistakes happen and people draw incorrect conclusions, but the goal is to make that a temporary state that is fixed as more information comes in.
I'm not claiming to have all the answers about how to achieve that, but I am fairly certain punishment is not a necessary part of it.
I saw some people saying the internet, particularly brainrot social media, has made everyone mentally twelve years old. It feels like it could be true.
Twelve–year–olds aren't capable of dealing with responsibility or consequence.
>A brave new world that is post-truth, post-meaning, post-responsibility, and post-consequences. One where the AI's hallucinations eventually drag everyone with it and there's no other option but to hallucinate along.
That value proposition depends entirely on whether there is also an upside to all of that. Do you actually need truth, meaning, responsibility and consequences while you are tripping on acid? Do you even need to be alive and have a physical organic body for that? What if Ikari Gendo was actually right and everyone else are assholes who don't let him be with his wife.
