I appreciate that you don’t tell kids that they have to participate, but honestly, even telling the others to be “respectfully quiet” seems a bit odd to me.

A democratic state is something you pledge allegiance to by actively participating, by making use of your democratic rights and by putting energy into building and shaping the system we all live in. That’s what democracy is meant to be, a system of all people working together and valuing the needs and opinions of others, working out the best solutions for everyone through discourse. It’s not a religion or a god that you pray to in silence, that’s a bit absurd, isn’t it?

No idea why you’re getting downvoted. People here don’t seem to understand even the simplest concepts of consciousness.

What is “actual intelligence” then?

You know, and I think it’s actually the opposite. Anyone pretending their brain is doing more than pattern recognition and AI can therefore not be “intelligence” is a fucking idiot.

This. Same with the discussion about consciousness. People always claim that AI is not real intelligence, but no one can ever define what real/human intelligence is. It’s like people believe in something like a human soul without admitting it.

AI isn’t math formulas though. AI is a complex dynamic system reacting to external input. There is no fundamental difference here to a human brain in that regard imo. It’s just that the processing isn’t happening in biological tissue but in silicon. Is it way less complex than a human? Sure. Is there a fundamental qualitative difference? I don’t think so. What’s the qualitative difference in your opinion?

You’re getting downvoted but I absolutely agree. I don’t understand why “AI algorithms are just math, therefore they can’t have consciousness” seems to be the predominant view even among people interested in the topic. I haven’t heard a single convincing argument why “math” is fundamentally different from human brains. Sure, current AI is way less complex and doesn’t have a continuous stream of perceptual input. But that’s something a “proper” humanoid robot would need to have, and processing power will increase as well.

You talk like you know what the requirements for consciousness are. How do you know? As far as I know that’s an unsolved philosophical and scientific problem. We don’t even know what consciousness really is in the first place. It could just be an illusion.

Ok but why is it too difficult for American manufacturers and not for Chinese ones?

That doesn’t answer the question though, does it? I’ve been using a silicon carbon battery phone for over a year now and it’s the best battery experience I have ever had with any phone, by far. And it’s a foldable!

Charging is also the fastest I’ve ever experienced in a phone. 5000mAh and 60W PD charging.

I will never buy a lithium battery phone again, ever. So if Samsung wants me back as a customer, they will have to switch. And I don’t understand why American and Korean phone manufacturers are taking so long with this.

I just hope we don’t have to go through the whole Third Reich thing again like when TV was invented.

“Analrinne” ist wirklich ein furchtbares Wort.

No. The body can only absorb a certain amount at a time. Do what your doctor said.

Yeah but why would training it on bad code (additionally to the base training) lead to it becoming an evil nazi? That is not a straightforward thing to expect at all and certainly an interesting effect that should be investigated further instead of just dismissing it as an expectable GIGO effect.

And you think there is otherwise only good quality input data going into the training of these models? I don’t think so. This is a very specific and fascinating observation imo.

It’s not that easy. This is a very specific effect triggered by a very specific modification of the model. It’s definitely very interesting.

Of course material science is technology lol

I was talking to a colleague in the office hallway who was holding an empty coffee mug. He fumbled with it a bit until it slipped out of his hands. He tried to catch it, got it, it slipped again, and again, and again. He juggled with that thing for what felt like an eternity until he finally caught it safely. I couldn’t stop laughing.

Yeah, I swipe probably 80-90% of the time, maybe even more. Gboard works pretty well for me. It’s just way faster than typing every letter individually. Especially long words usually have a pretty good detection rate. For example writing this text I had to correct maybe 3 words, the rest was detected correctly on the first try and it takes me 1-2 seconds per word.

That’s great to hear. I just swiped a lot of words, hope it helps 😄
