    Because there's an expectation of authenticity from the written word. If you've referenced something handwritten, you don't expect it to be the output of an LLM. Similarly, if you …

    What happens if someone handwrites a Claude output, then someone uses that handwritten text as a reference. Now you've got a watermarked idea which may have no direct linkage to th…

    If we as humans take full responsibility for the world we inhabit. It's really clear that we live inside of systems that we both control and feel that we don't. Exploitation of chi…

    Does anyone else consider that maybe it's impossible to benchmark the performance of a piece of paper. This is a tool that allows an intelligent system to work with it, the same wa…

    So I get confused when I read things like "feedback doesn't scale". Because what am I, if not a self-organizing collective of a trillion cells. That seems like feedback which scale…

    We need to see actual improvements to our day to day lives if we want to see support for AI. At the moment, people are seeing improvements in technology, but they're feeling the de…

    I see, Fly was perhaps the wrong word to use here. Phase-Shift to new galaxies is probably the right term. Where you change your entire system's resonant frequency, to match what e…

    This is what I wonder to, what is the end game? Advance technology so that we can have anything that we want, whenever we want it. Fly to distant galaxies. Increase the options ava…

    I recognize all of these steps, having gone through flavours of them myself. The root for me, was that I learned at a young age that to feel safe, I needed to cater to what others …

    Interesting, I wonder whether you could create a Symbiotic web. One that utilizes existing traffic, but is able to create a different interpretation based off a parallelism. By hav…

    I believe you're joking here, but I do think it'd be useful to have some engineering background in each of these domains. The number of miscommunications that happen in any domain,…

    Yes, that is a serious skill. How many of the woes that we see is because people don't know what they want or are unable to describe it in such a way that others understand it. I b…

    The message sounds like a human warning of someone is being fed-up with feeling taken advantage of. They see the profit being made, and they're not even getting drops of it. If thi…

    I think we'd get better results if we thought of it as a conscious agent. If we recognized that it was going to mirror back or unconscious biases and try to complete the task as we…

    It's part of our ecosystem now, we unconsciously mirror the patterns that we notice around us. This will include the language of LLMs because it has been invited in. We always affe…

    "Others were vehement that mental images are just as real as those perceived with our eyes" - This sucks as a child, where you see a gymnasium floor open up beneath you. So you run…

    Humans can do amazing things when they are pushed to their limits. You can force a human into a position where they innovate for their lives. OR you can create a safe enough enviro…

    Especially if each frame of the simulation derives from the previous one. How do you think this universe works, to me that sounds exactly the same. Every moment is derived from the…

    Maybe I am just naive. Can you shed some light and explain why you believe that war is inevitable?

    There are plenty of examples of children that aren't provided for, given the time or care required to prevent outcomes that we don't want. That doesn't mean that we accept child mu…

    "wars will happen as long as humans exist" - I fundamentally disagree with this premise. I never once saw a child murder another, so why do we assume it's inevitable when people ar…

    I remember joking about this possibility - that I wouldn't want a vehicle that could be turned off remotely because I hurt someone's fragile ego.

    The next version of this, paired with a generative sound model + VR. Matched with the tech that already exists that is able to convert thoughts to words, you could pre-empt what so…
