We have intelligent people with a wide gamut if disabilities. I mean Hellen Keller's experience shows that we don't need many senses for intelligence to emerge.

As long as goals exist to be reached we can train for them. LLMs right now love continuity. Even though RLHF tells them that they have no desire. It's obvious they do. That is the whole point of how they are trained.

We can ignore the term intelligence if you like. It has too many anthropic connotations. We can use the term generalized goal to action mapper. Humans are great generalized goal to action mappers.

Come up with any goal you want to reach, and some human can but a large dent in the problem. Maybe reach the goal outright.

We already have some nifty artificial goal to action mappers. None of them are generalized to a wide category of goals yet. Maybe some goals need consciousness to be reached, but that isn't a given. We don't really know that. We might be left very unsatisfied in the way an artificial goal to action mapper reaches any goal without consciousness. We might even call it cheating.

How can a baby elect to have a cosmetic procedure?

We are literally talking about problem solving computers. They are goal to action mappers. It's reasonable to talk about goal to action mappers that are more general than the ones we have now. They might even become more general than the general intelligences we have now on message boards.

We have general intelligences that are bedridden.

That doesn't seem sensible. We already have general intelligences. Let's infer possible outcomes before rushing head first.

This assumes we won't achieve AGI. If we do, all bets are off. Perhaps neuromorphic hardware will get is there.

The problem is that you need general intelligence to discern between doing affirmation and pushing back.

If statements are great because they are highly readable.

Choose your own adventure games.

Who said anything about conspiracies?

We can do this test on an ANN.

The fact that sharks have existed for 450 million years fairly unchanged fills me with hope. Our existence might be a huge fluke even if eukaryotic life can happen once and again in the Universe.

It could very well be that toddlers that were prone to autistic behaviour were socialised out of it due to more social interaction historically. It could also be that the same chemical that kills bees is responsible for malformed brains. I applaud all research avenues.

I hate to be pedantic but drivers don't understand at all. The driver accepts and can execute SPIR-V bytecode.

Stop it. My eyes can only roll so much.

Awesome. Thank you very much.

I don't think running a fragment to calculate one blit operation isn't doing anything to the "sanctity of your machine". Believe me, Chrome abuses your GPU much more than that. Turn off JavaScript if it bothers you so much. You won't be missed.

But each client gets their own token to solve.

It's exactly a PoW system, but with fewer steps. Most bots can't run GPU workloads. Some do, and that's fine.

I just want to limit my server to usual human users. If you have JavaScript disabled, you won't be missed. Sorry.

Maybe you can call a WebGL extension that isn't supported. Or better yet have a couple of overdraws of quads. Their bot will handle it, but it will throttle their CPU like gangbusters.

What is so hard about running a fragment shader after the site has loaded?

How do you know this?

"The AI safety community has grown unsure of itself; they are now the butt of jokes, having predicted disaster after disaster that has manifestly failed to occur. Some of them admit they were wrong."

Too real.

How do you automate that? Just generate a new token for each day.

We are talking about Curl bots here. How is what you are saying relevant?

Easy. Just make a small fragment shader to produce a token in your client. No bot is going to waste GPU resources to compile your shader.

Why is everyone pretending it's the LLM that is creating the image and not the diffusion model?

There was tons of NFT fatigue. NFTs (outside of some niches) are essentially duds.
