Why does this matter? At that point this metric proves his friend isn't sentient rendering his opinion about it irrelevant.

>The podcast is missing this healthy type of acceptance and appreciation of truth. The podcast is grounded in science and only speculates about the consequences via the data and th…

>That makes the border very important. Even if drawing the line in the right spot is impossible, it's imperative that we recognize when it has gone from one side to the other, No i…

There is a reference counting GC in rust. It's just not default and you have to be explicit about invoking it. It's similar to shared pointers in C++. See Arc. For something like p…

>It may not be exactly clear where a temperature becomes 'hot', but the sun is still not a great place to host your wedding. But right now we are currently at the border. LLMs are …

Not if you use modern python. And by modern python I mean typed python. Heavily typed.

In my opinion it's not pretty ok. It's actually superior to many other languages. I think for web stuff though the borrowing and move semantics is a bit of an overkill. Usually you…

Let's turn this into something real. This: https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experime... will never happen. No pause will occur. I'm right and you will be wrong. …

It's not about the fuzzy border. It doesn't matter if the border is fuzzy or not. The point is the border doesn't exist in the first place. You created the border with the vocabula…

>There's no illusion - love is a complex, durable emotion and is as real as (typically) shorter duration emotions such as anger, fear, joy, etc. Your emotions and thoughts aren't i…

If it's not an illusion then you should be able to tell me what it is. Since you can't. I can easily tell you that it's probably just some classification word with no exact meaning…

That's an inaccurate test. You can't know if the answer was real or stochastic parroting. Any attempt at consciousness requires us to define the word. And the word itself may not e…

>You can't just handwave away complexity. It's entirely possible for the US to have too little regulation in some fields and too much regulation in other fields. I didn't handwave …

Its nearly perfect if the sample size is big enough. Barring that it's also the best we can do. There's no better alternative to science so you either believe in the science or you…

That future is already here. All WebApps abstract state to some external program. Bare in mind this is only for web dev. Many other things outside of web dev cannot abstract state …

Would it be different if I told you that what I wrote here is based on and confirmed by science? When subject to the rigor of statistical confirmation then what I said is no longer…

Who knows? You could be right and I could be the one that is totally blind. I propose an experiment to find out just which one of us is actually more delusional. To start off, how …

There was a science experiment where they took pessimists and optimists and had them rate themselves from one to ten in terms of looks. Then they had another external group of peop…

There are always exceptions. Overall though corporations control the direction of the economy not employees.
