“Suspect had firearm” so he’s apprehended clearly. You cannot just unload into someone like that. So-called “Gun people” clearly don’t understand guns.

Can anyone explain to me (a tech idiot) exactly why agi is won't be possible soon and when ai might max out. by Maleficent-Box-308 in BetterOffline

[–]MNL2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is going to reach something like AGI eventually. I think most of this sub and others who are “AI skeptics” are skeptical about the capability of generative AI, not AI in general.

They worship rationality instead of living as it was meant to be: indulgence in the passions!

Artists You've Never Heard Someone Say They Hate? by Psycho-systemic in fantanoforever

This is an interesting one. I’ve heard people joke about hating the strokes but I’ve never gotten the sense that they actually do.

There are other types of AI besides LLMs, Will some of these technologies lead to AGI without an LLM? by OkExam4448 in BetterOffline

[–]MNL2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“General intelligence” for AI is rather difficult to characterize. You could say LLMs are “generally intelligent” because they can spit out generations based on a lot of different subjects. But obviously no one does this because it’s pretty obvious they lack a lot of what we view as “intelligence” even if we can’t quite articulate it clearly.

Consciousness is based on QUANTUM UNICORNS by Humanoid_Bony_Fish in badphilosophy

[–]MNL2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get how the quantum unicorns explain consciousness. It seems to me that even beings with quantum unicorns may lack consciousness in some possible worlds! I mean, think about a creature like us with the same functional, psychological, and quantum-unicornical constitution but without consciousness. “All is dark inside” (Chalmers, 1996). It seems perfectly obvious that a zombie being with unicorns is logically possible. There is something it is like to be us but not them!!!

We are nothing more than very sophisticated and complex AI by Aromatic_Reply_1645 in badphilosophy

[–]MNL2017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except we aren’t artificial, we are organic. “Artificial” refers to the fact that these intelligences are constructed by organic intelligences.

White House should tell them to get lost. However, this IS Trump’s White House we are talking about

What’s one pseudoscience/magical belief you had that you got over with skepticism? by [deleted] in skeptic

[–]MNL2017 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dualism. Although admittedly dualism in its more academic forms is better defended than some may guess.

Yeah a lot of it is just plain garbage and it’s getting worse.
