Apple at 50 4 months ago

Seems to me that they are simple saying its not important:

"At 50 years, it’s only natural to look back. But Apple has always looked forward, building tools and delivering experiences that enrich people’s lives. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we’re inspired by where we’ll go — together."

And, no, I don't think they left it to chance.

Also there's an art video to go with the art animation.

The Future of AI 5 months ago

We still do not know where the urge for truth comes from; for as yet we have heard only of the obligation imposed by society that it should exist: to be truthful means using the customary metaphors—in moral terms: the obligation to lie according to a fixed convention, to lie herd-like in a style obligatory for all. Now man of course forgets that this is the way things stand for him. Thus he lies in the manner indicated, unconsciously and in accordance with habits which are centuries' old; and precisely by means of this unconsciousness and forgetfulness he arrives at his sense of truth.

Nietzsche.

I think not "ideally" in any case. Rather "practically" could be banned, for what badness?

It doesn't claim it was authored by humans. It is clearly the work product of human who transparently is using AI.

The work product if it works as claimed is rather amazing. Maybe even an inflection in AI use, if it would be sustainable.

Do Metaprojects 5 months ago

Read more carefully, critics. He's sharing a big ol' mixed metaphor for living. The world and your mind are vast. Your job is to narrow it down to exactly your life. You are your own author.

Dennett, Darwins Dangerous Idea, p448

... No wonder Penrose has his doubts about the algorithmic nature of natural selection. If it were, truly, just an algorithmic process at all levels, all its products should be algorithmic as well. So far as I can see, this isn't an inescapable formal contradiction; Penrose could just shrug and propose that the universe contains these basic nuggets of nonalgorithmic power, not themselves created by natural selection in any of its guises, but incorporatable by algorithmic devices as found objects whenever they are encountered (like the oracles on the toadstools). Those would be truly nonreducible skyhooks.

Skyhook is Dennett's term for an appeal to the supernatural.
