The morphic resonance guys claim this is proof. And I for one do find it a little unbelievable that these seeds are travelling the world, such that for any cubic foot of air you fi…

This makes it more believable not less. History is littered with nut jobs achieving. The wilder the story the more credibility I give it. Within bounds. Universe is optimised for e…

Agree. hacker news is in hard cope mode.

GPT4 just wrote a python script for me that downloaded a star catalogue, created a fish eye camera model, and then calculated the position of the camera relative to the stars by ba…

At one stage of my life I was running 10k every other day for months at a time. I was miserable. Also irritable.

same here

Exercise makes me irritable and miserable. I've tried large amounts and medium amounts, obvs small amounts are included in daily life. My kids are similarly effected. One size does…

SpaceX regularly lands rockets vertically on floating barges in the middle of the ocean. Tesla broke open and is dominating the electric car market. What on earth are you talking a…

I learned the same a few years ago. I have voluntary control of the lower sphincter and clamp down on it when I feel my stomach contents rising or am getting heart burn. Now that I…

Don't bother arguing with them, they obviously are not rational enough to see what is in front of their face. Most people are like this, although they will die saying otherwise.

If you are going to do this it's best to advertise that fact in your job ads. You want people who like to operate in that atmosphere in return for something - promotion, perk or vi…

I think there is a little more evidence here than a literal interpretation of the bible. The only constant in this world is change.

Welcome to the archetypal mind of the conservative. When your axiom is "the current order is just and appropriate" then unconsciously every data point aligns to that principle. The…

Yeah. But no. I naturally seem to eat once a day and am thoroughly overweight.

Completely disagree with 2. Look up AIXI. It looks and feels to me like a completely plausible and mathematically grounded theory of intelligence. One principle aspect of the theor…

Look at the trajectory, not where we are. S curve, yada, yada. Sure it may top out and we will be left with something that many will argue is not AI. But on the other hand the curv…

Nah. Super easy I heard /s

There is no route to making money with these plugins. You have to get the users onto your website, sign-up, part with money, then go back to gptchat. It's really hard to make that …

I'd not heard this on my tpot. But I absolutely agree, the ground is moving so fast and the power is so centralised that the only thing to do is spin up quickly make money, rinse a…

You are wrong. Try gpt4. Gpt3 showed the glimmer on certain questions. Gpt4 is smart, maybe not quite as smart as me, but I fully expect gpt5 to be as smart or smarter than me.

What is worse is we allow the mistakes to go unpunished - because then we will have more episodes like this down the line. If there are no consequences then the bad practise will c…

He can't have done in any serious way. All these negative opinions just show you how much people make stuff up out of thin air, rather than bothering to spend time with the actual …

If you haven't spent more than an hour inveestigating ChaGPT or Bing Chat then you really should. They are astonishing. I would say that in certain ways they are smarter than me. I…

You are reading you info second hand. If you had gone to the evidence yourself you would not be saying what you are now saying. Read the academic papers, look up the facts from sou…
