Well no one can prove they have a mind to anyone other than themselves.

And to extend that, there’s obviously a way for electrical information processing to give rise to consciousness. And no one knows how that could be possible.

Meaning something like a true, alien AI would probably conclude that we are not conscious and instead are just very intelligent meat computers.

So, while there’s no reason to believe that current AI models could result in consciousness, no one can prove the opposite either.

I think the argument currently boils down to, “we understand how AI models work, but we don’t understand how our minds work. Therefore, ???, and so no consciousness for AI”

He’s successful in spite of himself. He makes terrible decisions constantly.

The people who claim “real estate value!” have just latched onto the simplest reason they can which aligns with their worldview.

The reasons I suspect companies are forcing return to office are more:

• shareholders don’t like unused assets, so they tell the ceo to “use it or lose it”
• the people who make the decision have the type of extroverted personality where they actually do work better in the office and they can’t fathom people being different
• the people who make the decision prefer to have the office full because it makes them feel more powerful. They can see the people they lord over.

It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.

Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.

The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve’s work improving the gaming experience, IMO.

Not even the clouds are safe!

Or classic torrents combined with a VPN.

Tesla under pays compared to other car companies.

I agree. I think people are just missing the point. It’s really far from being able to replace a worker.

It’s current capabilities at best can help that worker be slightly faster at certain things. It’s akin to a type of search engine.

It can generate simple stuff accurately quite often. You just have to keep in mind that it could be dead wrong and you have to test/verify what it says.

Sonetimes I feel like a few lines of code should be doable in one line using a specific technique, so I ask it to do that and see what it does. I don’t just take what it says and use it, I see how it tried to solve it and then check it. For example by looking up if the method it used exists and reading the doc for that method.

Exact same as what I would do if I saw someone on stack overflow or reddit recommending something.

I like it for certain techy things. I just used it to create a linux one-liner command for counting the unique occurances of a regex pattern. I often forget specific flags for Linux commands like how uniq can perform counting.

And something like that is easy to test each piece of what it said and go from there.

As long as you treat it like a peer who prefaced the statement with “I might be wrong / if I recall correctly” it ends up being a pretty good aid.

Yeah, I miss when there was a social media site that catered to just people you know. Just friends and family.

I feel like most people who get their news primarily through Facebook, are horribly misinformed.

So maybe this is a good thing?

That’s better than some I’ve seen. Like 200 for everything and the text could even be “error”.

Or 500 with the text “invalid input”

I mixed piracy with s couple of tge larger streaming sites for a while. I’m 99% piracy now. (technically have prime video, but don’t watch it)

Although, it’ll probably be one of the coolest months for the next while.
