It's happening, but theres no law of the universe that says it has to be 1:1. Why are you so confident in this regard? 250 years is a very small slice of human history and could ea…

As far as Australia is concerned, this isn't as much of a throwing away of principles and liberties as it might look. It's classic Australia to have a heavier hand in these types o…

I subscribe to the notion that morals are emotion based propositions and thus aren't quite as grounded in pure logic. As in there is not an objective morality, just things we know …

Reason and logic lead you to only two choices, where one choice immediately begs you to abandon reason and logic and just believe what feels right? I think reason and logic can tak…

Excellent comment. From a pure resource allocation perspective, walking the current path is like looking down the barrel so to speak. I guess our fate is already in the hands of th…

I can’t think of many major resources left to extract. Attention seems to be the last novel one. So what’s the pivot from here? If people are increasingly digitally pacified, what …

Honestly, I think we are arguing around each other. We simply read this notion totally differently. You're taking it to mean that "we can't correct bias" but the statement was "we …

The parent’s point was plainly that bias is unavoidable and making it overt is realistically all we can do. It’s a pragmatic take, albeit overly terse. They could have additionally…

Yep fair point. I was taking them literally, though I didn't necessarily feel the context meant their post was bad faith or concessional, just a simple truth. Your elaboration adds…

Comment #45663705
I get the sentiment of what you're saying, but I don’t think that’s totally fair to the parent. Biases aren’t automatically "bad" or "failings". they’re akin to heuristics, and it’…

What a brilliant irony. Excellent comment. I suppose "non-Von Neumann architectures" would just instead have someone else's name associated with it had it been invented by someone …

100% agree. You'd start to think "Anna doesn't like us" and just move on. Despite what they're going through, some level of responsibility falls on them to express a sense of "it's…

Hmm I don't feel like this should be taken as a tenet of AI. I feel a more relevant kernel would be less black and white. Also I think what you're saying is a direct contradiction …

Can't you capitalize power costs to an extent by building a solar and battery array? A sufficiently wealthy company would have the means to find a place to put it that can optimise…

This is only true where it is distinguishable that the end result is made with care and love rather than indiscriminate copying. Which is why attribution is essential. No one reali…
