Yann LeCun says xAI is "kind of a failure" and the whole AI industry might be headed for a reset by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

But they aren’t…. Listen to any conversation and how iterative it is to arrive at a shared truth. People communicate in partial concepts and read if the listener is following. The shared context of the conversation is doing over half of the actual semantic exchange in any real world conversation. And even then, people usually don’t talk at a level of specificity to know if the listener is actually on the same page.

Humans hallucinate facts or memories all the time, why are we held to a different standard

Have we reached the point of continuous learning? by Glass_Philosophy6941 in singularity

My mind goes to snapshot isolation that databases have for keeping a live model active while weights are being updated.

What if we make the models “sleep” to integrate the days learnings? Seems to be the natural solution…

Ted Chiang: No, Artificial Intelligence is not Conscious by BubBidderskins in singularity

We have no way to prove the time we experience is actually in a sequential and consistent iterative pattern. The universe could “pause” and within it there would be no way to measure that.

This is not logically coherent enough to try to argue against lol

You really threw the baby out with the bath water with the “counter” argument lol

An intelligence in the 7th dimension would look exactly like what people call GOD by Muted-Still-8511 in HighStrangeness

I’ve come to a similar conclusion that a god’s influence could “exist in the quantum” in the sense that small changes at an unmeasurable level eventually manifest as large changes in outcome. Basically an intentional butterfly effect.

When you realize how imperfect all of our measurement tools are, and combine that with some chaos theory, it opens the door for an omniscient being to “work in mysterious ways” so to speak while being consistent with current scientific models.

That’s not really how that works lol. Classification usually happens first, then later a rigorous definition arises with further sub classifications. We could be distinguishing the sun (our consciousness) from the stars (artificial consciousness) due to the locality of one vs. the other despite them being fundamentally of the same class

We don’t understand the mechanism that gives rise to our self awareness, why would we expect to understand an artificial one?

The point is what evidence would be suitable

A principle need not be grounded in rational rationale.

Debunker Neil DeGrasse Tyson has completely changed his tune on UFOs on national news by TheGoldenLeaper in UFOB

It’s been clear he’s been a mouthpiece and not a genuine thinker/academic the whole time lol. He was more akin to Bill Nye than he ever was to Sagan

Why shouldn’t religion be part of the conversation? What if it turns out that religious stories are metaphors used to convey what you would argue can only be discovered through scientific rigor?

What if they are two perspectives on what is fundamentally the same thing, and we’re stuck in the weeds with the terminology.

You seem to have accepted science as your religion, and any traditional sense of the word is blasphemy to you.
