It seems that music is so hard, why is it ai has already surpassed us there but not in code? Seems that code is easier.
I note by this that you don't seem to have experience in music? Because in that case, you are not equipped to judge the quality of the song at some levels beyond a listen.
The same way that someone not technical can't judge the code output of the LLM and will just be impressed by the functional output (i.e. is the site working)
Unless we are genuinely pushing to find AGI, at which point nothing matters
I think the third coming out Jesus Christ in closer than AGI. Seriously, I dread how much of Silicon Valley is wrapped in this narrative of AGI and Singularity.
How can all these "rationalists" fail to see that this is what religion looks like: Faith and promises of heaven and hell.
I am just mind blown if a non tech person like me can do this much then what's the ceiling for people who are Technical
Slight irrelevant because when it comes to business, the most important part is finding customers and selling to them. Tech people focus too much on product development and neglect sales.
The world of uncertainty and the idea that we might not be able to understand everything or control it as much as we'd like.
It seems to me a lot of the modern "tech-bro culture" is trying to control the future and reduce uncertainty: Stop death, merge with the robotic super intelligence, colonize Mars to escape Earth inevitable decay, etc.
I'm still waiting for the startups claiming to reduce entropy or solve the false vacuum decay
I have a hard time seeing why molecules could produce consciousness from an electro-chemical path, but not from a purely electrical path.
Do you have any particular reasoning behind this? I could equally say that I have a hard time seeing why molecules could produce consciousness from a purely electrical path.
You have them because some signals come in from your nerves, which your brain turns into a world model. You are effectively a "brain in a vat", the vat just happens to be placed on top of your body
I think we give too much credit to the brain. The gut has almost as many neurons as a dog's brain and the heart has neurons too. "You" are more likely the whole ecosystem, not just your brain. There are even some hypothesis of disorders like depression being more influenced by the gut than the brain.
Fair point on the outsourcing. Although I'd argue that one practical difference is that one device doesn't distract you from being present when you have the person in front of you (presumably because you will have to read the details appearing in the glasses).
Also, I take it that the next logical (and worrisome) step to something like that is to record the conversations so the AI can summarise and extract the important data from the conversation for it to be later accessible, which is going to bring us into the ultimate performative scenario. Young people nowadays are already aware that anyone could be recording their most embarrassing moments; recording everything we say would be worse.
have an instant summary in front of you you reminding you of someone's birthday, the names of their kids
"How much outsourcing of your mind do you want to give to technology?"
"Yes"
If you really can't remember all the details of people that you want to remember, you can always write those details on your phone or trusty Rolodex after you meet them and then check them out before you meet them again if you must.
