Why?

For what it's worth, this sounds a lot like something downstream from "reward hacking" in ML- in training, passing tests is often sufficient, and thus gets trained for. There are a…

Why is something being human or not relevant here?

> The difference is that when a human reasoner goes to solve a problem, they'll think "this kind of proof usually goes this way" - following an explicit rule enforcement. How is th…

Hm, say more about what your opinion's based on here?

Hm, it sounds like to you consciousness implies non-determinism, and so determinism implies a lack of consciousness - is that right? If so, why do you think so? And if not, what am…

Yup- the question is "can math be conscious?" (If you've engaged w/ the literature here, it's quite hard to give a confident "yes". it's also quite hard to give a confident "no"! s…

Presumably the decryption key is in the firmware.

I also can't help but note that this blog post itself seems (first to my own intuition and heuristics, but also to both Pangram and GPTZero) to be clearly LLM-generated text.

nit: assuming you mean basis points, one basis point is 0.01%. 4.5bp would be 72.7% to 72.71%. this is 450bp!

How is it a black box? You can get the firmware trivially.

I think your pitch would be significantly stronger if the resources you linked didn't largely revolve around "What if Snoop Dogg had his own currency?" I'm not ... completely unabl…

What makes you say that? Have you read serious arguments against this view (ideally from academic philosophers, not somebody like me on HN!)?

Could you be more specific? What underclass (and why don't they matter?), and what segregation?

Experts in any field are generally not the ones communicating with, and making recommendations to, the public.

" by the same people that believe whatever they're told by anyone in authority, and then feel the urge to pass it on to others without critical thought." respectfully, what the hel…

In fact, humans will be running at relativistic speeds within this century, risking the total destruction of the Earth if they should ever trip over something and fall down. Scary …

Absolutely agree. When I was a kid, I took a MOOC (MITx 6.002x) because I was interested in EE. They said calculus was a prerequisite, which I didn't know yet, but I went ahead any…

The existence of sentient AGIs would certainly have wide-ranging impacts on the law! This case is not about sentient AGIs.

But bigger fixed-length instructions mean more I$ pressure, right?

What stops an attacker from uploading their own firmware that dumps out everything in OTP?

I have UI to enter a custom URL for search in Firefox for Android, with no extensions beyond Privacy Badger, Unhook, and uBlock Origin- interesting.

Are the activation functions truly different, or just different parameter values to one underlying function?
