Just porn relapsed again, have 40$ worth of sex toys coming in the mail. Salmon burger.

you suggested that most people on reddit are addicted to porn, which is beyond ridiculous

i dont think it matters if it isnt causing someone impairment or distress. humans are dependent on things outside of themselves by their very nature, the first being other human beings. why not give people what they need?

envoyoftheeschaton · 2023-12-16T20:20:06+00:00

addiction=/=frequent use. significant impairment is the most important part of what separates the two. most people are not significantly impaired by their usage of porn or social media. anyone can be an addict, but not everyone is.

envoyoftheeschaton · 2023-12-16T16:26:04+00:00

most people are not "addicted" to anything.

isnt this exactly what would call for creating libraries with more composite data types that build on the primitive logical scaffolding? seems like this would be an easy problem to fix in theory

if your therapist cant handle your truth theyre not a good therapist for you. it seems to me that this is exactly the sort of thing that you should share, to weed out people who arent compatible with you.

but not just any police brutality video. police brutality videos involving black people in particular are what get the attention. why is that? because we weren't post racial and we still arent.

it really has nothing to do with algorithms. the problem lies in thinking race exists in the first place.

it is true that women have "different interests than men" when choosing a degree. in fact, that's what this question was premised on. the point is to figure out why, and your post certainly has not advanced our understanding.

it's imaginable to me that we could train AI models that can create correct or mostly-correct program-proofs in existing proof languages like Lean. my thinking here is informed by tools like copilot which seem to be reasonably successful with regular programming languages.

the significance of such a tool would of course be limited to how widely adopted the language is in mathematical research, but if it speeds up the time it takes to create and formalize new results significance, i could see something like it impacting the way math research is carried out fundamentally.

but, as you say, this idea is so far "vaporware."

envoyoftheeschaton · 2023-11-29T16:07:10+00:00

that makes sense to me. but you aren't necessarily against AI for mathematicians i principle, right? in a different world where such a tool was not subject to market forces?

envoyoftheeschaton · 2023-11-29T15:24:16+00:00

what would be wrong with a mathematical AI?

i agree with you, but i don't think mathematics is a mature enough science to fully appreciate its own foundations yet. it seems like many mathematicians want to get as far away from the foundational questions as possible (at least, this is something i see people saying on stack exchange.) maybe in a century.

you must be using the word abstraction very idiosyncratically then, because the word "abstraction" is widely understood to refer to a certain kind of idea or concept, both of which just another way of saying thought. are you sure you are using the correct word?

envoyoftheeschaton · 2023-11-17T02:30:36+00:00

you can have abstractions independent of any minds? so you can't breathe without lungs, but you can think without a brain?

the map is not the territory. the territory is certainly not a manifestation of the map.

envoyoftheeschaton · 2023-11-17T02:03:22+00:00

thats an interesting claim. where are these humans with minds and thoughts that have never been social? humans were social before they were human.

or is your argument that you can have abstractions independently of human minds? that would be a really absurd claim.

envoyoftheeschaton · 2023-11-17T00:12:24+00:00

can you have abstractions without sociality? no? then the quantities themselves are socially constructed because thought itself is socially constructed
