unparagoned

To give you the benefit of the doubt at best it would be like 5/10 vs 6/10. There wasn’t ever any difference that Soto’s have ever recruited into any decision. The only reason someone would have thought Harris was a war candidate would have been because rogan or similar said it.

Is not instant. But if trump stays in power he’d pack the courts(not that he listens to the courts anyway), put people in power that would just do what he says and he would start locking people up the instant he could. It certainly is a slow walk to fasicism

It’s not that easy the money is going to the US arms companies. So he would have to stop giving his donors and mates money.

For many it probably has a negative effect on their life and their single vote is unlikely to ever make a difference.

Plus people watching the media don’t consume in some objective fashion. Almost everyone just gets stuck in an echo chamber which reinforces reinforces their view rather than making them more informed. They might actually be less informed.

I assumed it just means that you wouldn’t be able to access adult material at all on those os.

I think it just means that people using those OS simply won’t be able to access adult content.

No I don't think the GP was talking about that, and that's the problem. The hard problem by definition is a frontier that science will never be able to solve. So I can be sure because that's how it's described in the Chalmers paper introducing the hard problem. The hard problem is Chalmers proof that physicalism could never be true.

Like I said if science can explain something then that by definition is an easy problem.

Funny enough Chalmers thinks a computation can be conscious. I believe he thinks that there are like special laws of computation that give rise to consciousness and that makes it dualism.

Makes no sense to me, to me if a simulation of physics gives rise to consciousness that’s pure physicalism

No the hard problem is impossible to solve using science even a billion years in the future.

If science can in theory explain consciousness ever then it’s an easy problem.

In the original paper about the hard problem, Chalmers does say all that stuff is explainable by science or the easy problems.

I think you are misunderstanding illusionism and the hard problem.

Illusionism does say that there is a conscious experience. So illusionism is convincing to many people who have conscious experiences.

The alien would be able to look at the computation and describe the conscious experience it has.

You could put human consciousness on an excel spreadsheet and it’ll still be conscious. Even Chalmers accepts a simulation would be conscious. So no that’s not a. Argument for p-zombies. Even people that use the pz argument don’t think that pz could actually exist.

But your conclusion is right, the simulation example does suggest that the consciousness in the hard problem doesn’t exist. Which just leaves the consciousness you experience explainable by easy problems. Which is the illusionist position.

Edit: and the hard problem isn’t just why there is consciousness. But why consciousness is impossible under physicalism. So in your post you are just actually referring to the easy problem of consciousness when suggesting it exists.

I have a feeling like the lay person wouldn’t have made a comment, it’s only the people that think they are an expert that wouldn’t have confidently said why this painting is worse.

Also experts in an art competition have the award to an ai art piece. It was only because they didn’t know it was ai. So no, even experts are susceptible to these issues.

It’s perfectly fine to like cheap wine and not like expensive wine.

Those that like wine just because they think it’s expensive just have objectively bad taste.

So your defence only works for people with objectively bad taste. It’s not something that applies to everyone.

I feel really sorry for people that find context is key for art.

For them often context is more important than the actual art. Lie about the context and their view of art changes completely. I would say these people have objectively bad taste in art. These are the worst kinds of people.

In respect to your point about jpeg, you could have had a jpeg marked as real and one ai, and you would have had all the same comments about how the real jpeg was much better for all kinds of reasons. There is going to be almost zero chance anyone commented how they did due to it being a JPEG, vs them thinking it was ai.

I think we know enough that consciousness acts at the neuron/brain level new physics isn’t going to provide any more insights

We know the physics at which the brain operates, a deeper uncomputable foundation theory isn’t going to change that. An analogy is we know if you drop a ball it falls down, knowledge of some deeper quantum gravity theory isn’t going to mean ball’s actually fall up.

This is mainly god of the gaps style argument.

Sure if that’s what you are brought up to say. If you want a real life example you have kids that were isolated and never taught to speak. They probably worldn’t even understand the question

Qm is described by maths. You have fully deterministic qm interpretations, which are fully determined by maths

It’s the opposite, if AI and computations are conscious then that’s a win for functionalism and not panpsychism. Panpsychism is about the physical substrate having a conscious experience. But a LLM can have a completely different substrate but works have the same conscious experience.

Well someone might have had perfectly good reasons to trust them before. But after this they might have perfectly good reasons to not trust them.

It’s all fine since he didn’t use it for official business right, right…

And when you combine that on top of dark mode and dimming screen that does make a real difference.

Yep, when you expose night owls to just natural light they go to sleep earlier like early birds.

I think it’s pretty ignorant to think the average parent has a chance against companies spending billions of dollars

That was never the question or point. It was that’s it’s easier to adhere to intermittent fasting and consume less calories. So if you simply did a study comparing intermittent fasting vs general calorie restriction and didn’t control for calories then intermittent fasting would win. Controlling for calories completely misses the point

A big issue with Linux has always been the poor battery life management on laptops. So even if a device has a good battery, Linux might not be able to exploit it.

Also the drivers for devices has always been an issue for me. Like there are multiple drivers for the track point, with a million customisation options but no way to get it to work well.

This isn’t true in the slightest.

Lifestyle is more effective and has less side effects.

Lifestyle is the first line of treatment, with meds being a later line of action.

What do you mean?

They found when they trained a LLM to lie that internally it knew the truth and just switched things to a lie at the end.

Look at this clever hack to get away with committing crimes and there is nothing they can do.

Oh it looks like the justice system isn’t stupid enough to fall for it. Now everyone is angry that the justice system isn’t serious and dumb.
