>> None of this tells us whether Claude is conscious in the way people are, or whether it feels anything at all

My problem with the entire "Is AI conscious" debate is that we don't even know what exactly consciousness in humans is. You need to understand something in order to compare it to something else. Otherwise you are just comparing different definitions and second order derived phenomena.

Thats not the point of the presentatation: it's that Fable built a nice visualization.

If Aristotle was right about it or not is an orthogonal argument.

If more women are graduating and they still have such negative opinion about nuclear then I'm not sure this points to more women graduates being the good thing you think it means.

Only ~35% of women in the UK support nuclear power while ~65% of men do.

So technically, if one extrapolates the best case scenario, if women wouldn't have voting rights, we'd already have nuclear power everywhere.

Though to be fair, this varies from country to country and in some countries even women are over 50%.

But in many countries women are under 50% while men are seemingly always over 50%.

I don't buy a lot of this "chronic pain is psychological" thing at all.

Obviously the dentists appointment caused psysical damage which then everyone gaslit her about.

You can find many example of people eliminating chronic pain through extreme measures.

Even suicidal level of "unexplained" back pain can often be completely healed with STRENGTH exercises, not regular physiotheraphy.

This youtuber has many example: https://www.youtube.com/@lowbackability

You can also read about many "miraculous" healings in the low carb, carnivore and even some in the juice fasting community.

Since we have seen that 50%+ of findings even in medical and other natural sciences are not repruductible it's obvious that even PhD people are mostly incompetent.

Yes the amount of damage this does to kids must be huge.

Some people here argue that "math is also what kids don't like" but math and chemistry can be understood by a teenager even if he doesn't like it. But these "classic" books can't because much more life, adult problems and having children, deaths of parents and illnesses have to happen in order for one to comprehend this books.

It's like trying to force a 8 year old to read romance novels: since his sexual hormones are not yet activated, he won't understand why a boy all of a sudden likes a girl.

This is probably it. It's addictive due to hardwiring in the brain, just like sugar.

Tarfis seem to be the only way out.

Everyone laughed when Trump did it, now EU is doing the same.

>> SpaceX is a rocket company, a complex financial instrument, a meme, a monument to a broken financial system. It is the seven-headed Hydra at the end of finance, the teleological endpoint of money. It is a myth kept alive by blind faith, devotion, and even aggression, which makes it dangerous whether you believe in it or not.

Sure sure. The part where Musk revolutionized rocket travel is obviously a no big deal.

Everyone could do that, even a journalist. Right?

The valuation is the potential based on what SpaceX could do as the 1st mover in space tech.

Obviously the journo knows that, but hey, gotta write articles like this to pay the student debt...

In a study they figured out that organs seem to have an electrical potential range as a signature/command for stem cells for which organ to build and where.

In a frog they were able to grow legit eyes in the gut just by artificialy inducing a certain voltage in that area. No need for any cell transplantations: the voltage really seems to be the only signal needed.

This might also be how it might be done in the future in humans: block scar tissue then induce voltage with the signature of the organ you wish to regrow.

>> A school can deploy a tutor that is explicitly built never to give the answer — one that asks the Socratic follow-up, that requires the child to show the next step, that reports back to the teacher which concepts the class is stuck on.0

Fully agree with the article.

IMO we will just see more divide over those who are capable and those who are not.

The capable ones will use AI learning to accelerate their learning.

And the incapable ones will do as they always have: not much.

>> Musk paid $455 million in taxes on $1.52 billion of income between 2014 and 2018.[71] According to ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization, Musk paid no federal income taxes in 2018.[72] According to an estimate by CNBC, his 2021 tax bill was $12bn following the sale of $14bn worth of Tesla stock.

I'm pretty sure your entire bloodline didn't contribute that much to the tax system combined.

These silly comments mixing up all type of taxes really need to stop.

The toll it takes on parents and siblings, based on stories one reads, must be horrible.

You destroy the life of the family and greatly make the lives of healthy children harder.

Why would you sacrifice your healthy children for one who has no real future?

Complete inversion of common sense.

For the children.

Meanwhile UK is trying to sweep in under the rug the immigrant grooming gangs.

Why not both?

And sprinkle in some cultural differences (soccer is not that popular in the USA, so it's self-reinforcing).

If this is the true cost of AI then the future might be dedicated extension cards for computers that hardcode entire models + weights.

Downside: you need to buy a new one for each model.

Upside: insanely fast inference and zero subscription cost, only one time purchase cost.

Once a certain open source model gets good enough this might become viable.

Right now the landscape is still shifting too fast.

State of the art models might remain on subscription, expensive and might be used by large companies only.

State of the art companies might also create their own hardware with hard-baked weights on chip that they don't release to the public, as it might just make more financial sense long term once they "stabilize" on a certain model.

Taxing primary residence or the land its on will destroy middle and lower class and allow rich ones to go even further hand.

Luxury tax and tax on secondary homes would probably be better.

>> "While autoimmune disorders don’t have a known cure...."

Look up keto, carnivore and juice fasting communities on Youtube. Extreme dietary changes fixed many people from "uncurable" illnesses.

Can take 3 to 12 months though.

The funnier part is that people are being let it without the gov crosschecking their identity with the government they are from and just being like "yeah you look ok, come in".

"Moderation watchdog"

"Independent fact checkers"

Pattern noticing is not a hate crime.

That is their biggest trick: to make normal pattern noticing a crime.

It will be ironic if AfD wins and then pushes their right wing viewpoint to the max to everyone.

There will be immediately be a "no wait, you can't do that" backlash from the same actors that are proposing this.

2 to 3 colonoscopies per ~1k to 2k people cause severe rupture of the intestines that require urgent surgery.

That's also what people said when SpaceX said they will make reusable rockets that fly back and land.

Critics should almost always be ignored, it's the people fighting in the arena that actually create progress for humanity.

His argument is the equivalent of saying in ~1910 when the 1st mass produced Ford car came out "Where are the carbon brakes? Where is the hybrid motor system? Where is the ABS? Where are the rear parking cameras"?

Moving the goalpost.

This will probably be how things will work in future: devs will shift to specifying features which will be validate through tests.

The AI will then be middle layer that will iterate until tests pass.

Layer 1: Specs (Humans)

Layer 2: Code (AI mostly)

Layer 3: Tests (AI + human checks).

This.

Even an extremely small population of homeless/junkies is enough to "taint" benches.

The same with parks.

Singapore works as a multi-ethcnic multi-cultural society because of measures like this and an understanding that you cannot have a functional democracy in a multi cultural, multi racial and a multi-ethnic society: each race/culture votes for his own and against others on racial/ethnic lines.

You can never fight against a bully with words.

The only real way for a kid in school to stop being bullied is for him to challange or beat up his bully.

Nothing else works.

Thats what happens when you put engineers/programmers in charge of UI & UX development.

Engineers should be delegated to the worker-bee level and you should just get some gear heads and some soccer moms to design to UI.
