Let’s say I agree the concept of mind is relative, would you be willing to accept a rock has a mind?

Let me restate the point differently: lowering the bar for what you consider intelligence doesn’t make the AI sound any smarter.

By defaming intelligence you aren’t making the AI sound smarter. But you are making yourself the fool.

“If the west doesn’t build it then China will” is a claim to a timeline. And in the context of governments, most would assume you’re talking about less than 100 years.

Because asking AI to do humans is still uncanny. Pixar and Ghibli was already ruined by AI…

Considering it was under Mao that Xi’s family was exiled it is a rather salient comparison.

Edit: and we can know how much power Mao had by how big of a power vacuum he left. The fact of the matter is it is a single party republic, and that’s why Mao was replaced with someone more sensible. If there was a sizable power vacuum things would not have turned out this way.

I think what’s interesting is it sounds like the battery is a set of storage containers. My guess is it supports battery swapping, so while the range might be small, it can refuel as part of exchanging cargo

I mean at least 1/3 of Americans say it’s why we have the 2nd amendment. And 2/3 of the Supreme Court would likely agree, just they wouldn’t admit we are at that point where it is necessary. It’s ingrained in our culture down to the American revolution. But yeah, whenever leftist groups arm themselves they get wiped out, see the Black Panthers as an example.

Xi has no more absolute power over the government than Mao had (who was forced to step aside). And saying it is in no way democratic is patently false considering all their politicians need to be elected in at the local level. Lastly, Xi’s family was exiled from Beijing and they survived only to have Xi become the leader.

Psychedelics doesn’t magically make a bad person into a good person, just look at Joe Rogan. Though I am all for putting the entire admin deep into a k-hole that they will never escape from

Yeah, it’s only our fault if they die a peaceful death instead of going to trial

Yes, code harnesses help by providing deterministic feedback like with a language server and reduce the amount of prompting requirements. I guess I should have led with that example 😅

The person I responded to said:

Also this is class/power issue not a gender issue.

No, it’s not the same as copying and pasting the TODO into a prompt. Embedding the TODO in code instead of the prompt reduces tokens burned and increases accuracy because it’s observing the TODO in context. Sure you can write more prompting to provide that context, but it still won’t be as accurate. The less context you provide via prompting and instead provide more context through automatic deterministc feedback the better the results

Examples to consider:

A code base with TODOs embedded will make fewer mistakes and spend less tokens than if you attempt to direct the LLM only with prompting.

A file system gives an LLM more context than a flat file (or large prompt) with the same contents because a file system has a tree like structure and makes it less likely the LLM will ingest context it doesn’t need and confuse it

Lastly consider the efficacy of providing it tools vs using agent skills which is another form of prompting. Giving an LLM a deterministic feedback loop beats tweaking your prompts every time

That’s like saying slavery wasn’t about race but economics because you had black slave owners

A whole sex trafficking ring of little girls and people are saying it’s not a gender issue. Lol okay

And she’s allowed to leave that prison. Doesn’t sound like a prison huh?

It’s not about men/women because women are helping men make victims of little girls and are getting awayt with it. Did I get that right?

Yes there’s a class element, they prey on girls without the material means to fight back - but that doesn’t negate the sexism, it just reinforces it

I don’t think it’s important, just like the legality of “illegal humans” is not important to how people are being mistreated. You’re the one bringing up legality in this context.

But please continue to insult me. In the states we have a saying: a hit dog will hollar - behind your anger is a fear and behind that fear is something you love. If you keep it up there will be enough pieces to figure out what is motivating you
