Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • What was the most embarrassing thing that you or your friend did while drunk or on drugs?

    Jump

  • One of my 30+ year old forever-alone friends always makes a complete clown of himself when he's drunk and there's women around. He thinks he's funny and good singer but he's not. Just extremely cringe to be around. On several occasions I have told him while sober that alcohol makes him a completely different person but he doesn't seem to get the hint.

  • I don't see what's elitist or racist about it. It's just an observation of how things are. I'm not advocating for anything here.

  • I’ll admit I was exaggerating a bit. I don’t think it literally means nothing, but I’m sure you get the point I’m trying to make: for a long-term beneficial impact, good ideas need to spread from person to person faster than the bad ones do.

  • People more or less adopt their values from their parents and the people they grow up with. The christian right and redneck hillbillys are making kids and thus their beliefs will carry over to the next generation but this is much less the case with the liberal left where not having children is much more common. Basically, the more educated you are the less likely you're to have kids. This is true all over the world.

  • Idiocracy.

    Birth rates are down everywhere and the majority of the people left making lots of babies are not the ones you wish would be having them. Being virtuous and on the "right side of history" means nothing if those values die with you and are not passed to the next generation.

  • The original MagSafe is great. I still have it on my laptop.

  • Leaked Documents Show OpenAI Has a Very Clear Definition of ‘AGI’

    Jump

  • It should be able to perform any cognitive task a human can. We already have AI systems that are better at individual tasks.

  • ‘Godfather of AI’ shortens odds of the technology wiping out humanity over next 30 years

    Jump

  • Earth and the universe will be just fine. It's us humans that suffer from what us humans have done and continue to do. The universe doesn't care. It could slam us with a giant asteroid tomorrow and kill 99% of life on earth. It has done this before and it'll happily do it again.

  • It needs to drive to work, fix the computers/plumbing/whatever there, earn a decent salary and return with some groceries and cook dinner.

    This is more about robotics than AGI. A system can be generally intelligent without having a physical body.

  • As with many things, it’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment when narrow AI or pre-AGI transitions into true AGI. However, the definition is clear enough that we can confidently look at something like ChatGPT and say it’s not AGI - nor is it anywhere close. There’s likely a gray area between narrow AI and true AGI where it’s difficult to judge whether what we have qualifies, but once we truly reach AGI, I think it will be undeniable.

    I doubt it will remain at "human level" for long. Even if it were no more intelligent than humans, it would still process information millions of times faster, possess near-infinite memory, and have access to all existing information. A system like this would almost certainly be so obviously superintelligent that there would be no question about whether it qualifies as AGI.

    I think this is similar to the discussion about when a fetus becomes a person. It may not be possible to pinpoint a specific moment, but we can still look at an embryo and confidently say that it’s not a person, just as we can look at a newborn baby and say that it definitely is. In this analogy, the embryo is ChatGPT, and the baby is AGI.

  • We've had definition for AGI for decades. It's a system that can do any cognitive task as well as a human can or better. Humans are "Generally Intelligent" replicate the same thing artificially and you've got AGI.

  • What car do you drive and why?

    Jump

  • 2007 Nissan Navara (Frontier) pickup truck.

    I originally bought it because a german luxury saloon wasn't big and unpractical enough and I've dreamed of a pickup truck like that since I was a kid but then I started my own business and now I'm using it as my work truck, hauling tools and construction supplies.

  • Do you wash your nice jeans?

    Jump

  • After having done loads of heavy squats I had to stop wearing jeans entirely. I'd get about 4 months of use from a pair before they rip on the crotch due to my thick thighs and ass.

  • How did people treat radio active material before they knew what radio activity was?

    Jump

  • They treated it as if it was not radio active only to find out the hard way later. Marie Curie is one example and the women with rotting jaws from painting watch faces with radium (licking the brush to get a sharp point) are another.

  • If it's so good that it's impossible to tell from human-made content then it literally doesn't matter wether it's real or not as there's no difference.

  • What the hell is wrong with the people here? Actual positive news for a while and what does Lemmy have to say? Complaining and cynicism. No wonder you're so miserable all the time.

  • Instagram was such a great platform in the early days when it was for the most part used by photographers. I lost my interest in it when they started forcing videos instead. Even photographers needed to make videos of still photos in order to get any visibility.
