The objective was to make a machine that could beat anybody at chess. Nobody on the Alpha Zero team believes Alpha Zero is an example of general AI. Teaching a system to understand…

Of course. That's the whole point of society.

If a lookup table can predict human decisions with high accuracy given access to its senses and feelings, then either a human is just another can opener or intelligence isn't real.…

> Not quite. You'd need to look into how people play chess. It has vastly more to do with present positioning and making high-quality evaluations of present board configuration. Th…

We know every nuclear failure. We don't know every time a strong nuclear risk existed but by chance, didn't trigger. Nuclear power plants are probably much safer on average, but it…

The people harmed by the externalities of your personal choices because you live in a society where some degree of cooperation with the larger community is required.

This doesn't make sense to me. What do you mean?

I wouldn't use this personally, but to me it's pretty clear that the use of 'quote-unquote' is meant to denote sarcasm more strongly than quotation marks.

> You sure about that? Single dumb human posts singular dumb ai example to show that all ai are dumb and fails to recognize the irony.

> Were such a car to exist, it is clear the dog would win in very very many environments (almost all). As would a mouse, let alone a dog. This seems incredibly unlikely. AI vastly …

And yet computers continue to perform tasks that were talked about for years as something uniquely human / intelligence driven. This is a nice philosophical debate, but in practice…

But... you would. If all elderly people dropped dead right now, deaths per year would plummet for decades.

Leave where? Ireland? Amazon might choose to leave Ireland and go to the Bahamas, and that sucks for Ireland, but Amazon's situation doesn't really change. The US can still send a …

Ballpark yes, but that's likely a huge overestimate, as even normalized to age, its people with co-morbidities that have the lion's share of deaths.

That's only true if a random sample of the population dies. If we assume (and I'm making this up) that in the steady state, the elderly comprise 90% of deaths, then if a war kills …

Why do other countries need to sign the agreement? They don't really seem like they have any part in this process.

I use sublime 3 pretty frequently, and am aware of this feature, but haven't experienced a moment where this was useful, or at least, not more useful than just running find-replace…

I was looking at that but saw so many reviews stating that the rear speaker connections didn't work well and got scared off. I got a sonos arc and speaker set instead. My setup run…

Played the web app. Pretty fun but also pretty one dimensional. Congrats on releasing either way. That's my goal as well and I don't think I'm likely to reach it until I'm retired …

I found this question poorly worded, because you can only ask "What would the other assistant tell me to do". I assumed both would try to tell me to agree to the terms. Not what wo…
