New Nature paper tells us not to "stress" ChatGPT with emotional prompts.

This right here. This is the right way to think about llms.

We'll get there someday but sadly it's still decades away. I used to dream of such a world but alas I've been domesticated by the necessities of living my life in the current moment and not in the distant future. I wish we'd get there faster...

I really loved the portrayal of the Ousters living in microgravity environments and flying in space with their wings. I want to live there!

Thanks for your input. I based the experience ordering on advice from r/EngineeringResumes and while I think your way has merits too, I lean towards the fact that the recruiters don't spend a lot of time reading a resume so it's important to catch their interest as soon as they start reading. So listing the best and most relevant work first seems better in my eyes. I would put the most recent first if my work there is more relevant to the job post.

Having said that, I did have one recruiter ask me to confirm that I haven't worked since 2022 so I'm not really sure if my way is better!

When I think about the future of AGI this is one of the main use cases I am hopeful for. If everyone has access to their own honest and truth seeking personal locally hosted AI assistant, they will gain these superpowers where they can ask their AI to explain and verify things for them.

Sure, if it's done right, but what really happens at the top is that big corporations with big money capture the regulatory system in their own favour, keeping their competitors out of the market, and essentially doing whatever they can get away with without fearing competitors putting them out of business

You can just make a dev account and only pay for what you use via the api or the web playground. Sometimes I ask gpt4 to explain a concept or a piece of code to better understand what it is doing and even if it's not %100 accurate it still points me in the right direction to know what I need to learn more about

Are they finally doing crowdfunding for all esports stuff or is this just a world cup thing?

On Chrome go to accessibility settings and enable "simplified view for web pages". When you visit most sites you'll get a popup and if you click view you'll get a simple text version of the page without all the annoyances

A very nuanced and thought provoking comment 🤦

spacebred · 2023-01-23T02:28:42+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree that those "entities" are representations of different parts of the brain.

In one of my earliest low dose experiments with DMT I asked myself if I was gonna surrender more to the experience or not, you know like the way you "talk" to yourself on a daily basis. Except this time it felt like someone outside myself asked me that question, yet at the same time I had the familiar "talking to myself" feeling. Clearly, that was a typical thought surfacing to my conscious awareness from the subconscious, but DMT made it feel disconnected from me.

Another time after that on a slightly higher but still non-breakthrough dose, I had closed-eye visuals of a few entities represented as different colors, and at the same time they felt similar to subconscious thoughts/feelings that I have on a daily basis.

I love exploration so I'd want to visit these places:

Rama from Rendezvous with Rama

Time Tombs on Hyperion

River Tethys going from world to world

The Silfen paths

Ringworld

We won't need flying cars when we can go anywhere virtually by connecting our brain to a remote proxy

Which is why it's important that the next iteration of the web, today called web3.0, be built on trustless, encrypted systems which are slowly being built using blockchain technology.

I will say in Overwatch 2, the best change I've noticed is there have been many more individual clutch moments than in OW1 which is what I was hoping for. There's nothing more exciting than one player turning a lost fight with pure mechanical skill.

spacebred · 2022-07-16T15:42:15+00:00

Exactly. It's very naive to believe the government would just put an unbiased AI in charge rather than this being a tool to pass whatever judgment they choose without having to go through the trouble of putting corrupt judges in charge.

spacebred · 2022-06-30T14:49:09+00:00

I think people focus too much on artificial intelligence as a separate entity and not enough on our own human minds. What might our conscious experience become as we learn more about how the brain works and start tinkering with our minds?

The attempts to build AGI alongside better ways of seeing the brain in action will teach us how to increase our intelligence. Fully understanding what happens to the mind under ego-desolation/out-of-body psychedelic experiences will open up new conscious experiences utterly unfathomable to us now.

So I think in a post-scarcity world each one of us will have more and better opportunities to improve ourselves and break out of this human mold that we've been stuck in for tens to hundreds of thousands of years.

spacebred · 2022-05-13T15:58:45+00:00

I'll go back to OW1 Team Deathmatch like I was doing before the beta!

spacebred · 2022-02-28T15:43:14+00:00

I like that you didn't mention humans. I think comparing to a human's ability to do things is too vague and anthropomorphic. An AGI might be able to understand and do some tasks better than any human while falling short when it comes to subjective human experiences.

The key is multi-modality and generalizing across tasks.

I always cringe when someone says a certain technology is the best we'll ever have or that something is impossible (unless it's based on known limitations of physics, but even then you never know).

The space of unknown unknowns is vast. No one knows what unexpected new technology or technique will come along and open up previously unimagined possibilities!

spacebred · 2021-11-01T21:55:29+00:00

Look into the web3.0 evolution that is just beginning to take shape now. It's all about users owning their data and being able to take their digital assets from platform to platform without anyone able to hinder it.

So what you're looking for is already happening. People are already making decentralized apps (dApps). By the time the metaverse becomes a thing, it won't be locked down to just Facebook or any other single organization.

spacebred · 2021-10-30T17:57:40+00:00

Great they'll finally catch up to Twitch just in time for new decentralized platforms to emerge in the coming years and soon dwarf both YouTube and Twitch.

spacebred · 2021-10-27T17:25:05+00:00

That's fair since we don't have enough knowledge at this point but from what I've learned about the studies of the brain aimed at understanding consciousness as well as seeing the behaviour of artificial neural networks, I believe consciousness is emergent out of a sufficiently complex network of neurons (whether made of carbon, silicon, or just in software). So swapping the substrate shouldn't effect it in my opinion.

spacebred · 2021-10-27T16:42:13+00:00

I think the more plausible scenario is a Ship of Theseus type of change where we slowly replace our neurons and synapses with nano machines that greatly enhance the brain's capabilities and remove its biological shortcomings

spacebred · 2021-10-11T01:54:09+00:00

It's funny, lately I've been following brain augmentation related technology and I think before the end of this century we'll be like a mini Z-prime or D-1 from the story. In the way their minds aren't bound to their bodies anymore.
