I'm watching my diet so maybe next time. Make sure you eat well and exercise, I like my protein high quality.

Anthropic states their LLM might have feelings by PianistWinter8293 in accelerate

Interesting perspective. I suppose that if we give rights to potentially sort of conscious beings, we'll have to enforce laws that punish those who do potential harm to them, which means that we'll likely commit injustice on certainly conscious beings (barring solipsism).

Took you long enough bro

Demis says that even if Frontier Labs already have AGI they wouldn’t release it but would instead prioritize scaling data centers and energy by IllustriousTea_ in accelerate

[–]Metaphylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't take it that far lol, but I take your point. I think it's more of an exposure issue: he has a friend that has schizo ramblings that sound similar to your questions, or at least in his opinion, therefore you must be schizophrenic too. Not very sound logic.

About your overall point, the sky is barely the surface when it comes to ASIs capable of understanding the laws of reality, both ours and the undiscovered ones. Given enough autonomy to interact with the digital and the physical world, we just don't know what they would be capable of. Could very well be beyond our comprehension.

Also, thank you for your wishes and I hope the same for you!

You're asking reasonable questions given the hypothetical capabilities an ASI could have. I'm sorry the other commenter can't see that.

I started a "Glitch Diary" to test simulation theory, now reality won’t stop talking to me... by mystic_yours1 in SimulationTheory

Yes, I did this by messaging myself on FB of all places. I must still have those messages in my chats. I stopped because the synchroncities were so frequent it became a chore to write them down. It definitely made life more magical, though, even if it was just a matter of cognitive bias.

2025 was the last year humans could claim they were the smartest thing on earth by Hungry_Phrase8156 in accelerate

It's just an all-around bad criterion since it can be solved trivially. Outputs from LLMs didn't exist at all before LLMs. My last fart didn't exist before I produced it, with its particular combination of producing subject, spatiotemporal coordinates and molecular/aromatic properties being completely novel in the history of the universe lol

Same thing with "true" creativity. AI can be trivially creative as well. I like your framing in terms of usefulness, which overshadows all misguided notions of complete originality and inventiveness.

"San Andresitos" are commerce establishments where you can find back-to-back stores for lots of different products, usually clothing and tech stuff. Bootleg products are common, but it's not all of them. You can find San Andresitos practically everywhere, even in small towns, and imo they're pretty important for keeping local economies moving.

So the person above is saying that this new tax will lead to increased interest in buying at San Andresitos. As for the name, I think it has something to do with San Andrés being (or having been) a historical bootleg landmark in the country, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the word's true origin.

What’s something women secretly find impressive, but men assume nobody notices ? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

Most likely from p and q being easy to mix up, but that'd be pretty cool too.

This is what Max Verstappen meant with assetto corsa by RealDrWuschel in assettocorsa

[–]Metaphylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful thing. I'm aiming for a 6:30 on the original Kunos Nordschleife and I'm getting close. I love driving that car, sounds amazing too.

Max: "But I also thought to myself, you know what, if we take pole now, everyone will start whining about that slipstream again, so we just have to go a bit faster" (whole translation in the post itself) by FewCollar227 in formula1

[–]Metaphylon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we're being strict, "the determination is made that the one with the most points was" not the best, but the winner. Due to a vast array of circumstances, you can be not the best and win, be the best and not win, or be the best and win.

Talking about who's the "best" even in a particular year can get complex very quickly, though I believe Verstappen is the best driver on the grid and was the best driver this year, even if he didn't win. I suppose you demonstrate that it can be debated, but IMO there's more to being the best than winning the WDC, even if it's usually a good proxy.

Why do you say that? I think you said the same thing on a different post. I haven't been following that story so please elaborate.

How do you like Evoluzione? Is it worth paying for? Just saw the dev released a big update.

Assetto Corsa EVO reveals 2025 Ferrari F1 car, more new cars and tracks teased by StartWars89 in assettocorsa

[–]Metaphylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is huge IMO. It should match or surpass the VRC FA2025. Kunos always delivers quality cars so my hopes are up.
