At this point you may also dispute this is not clear enough to read. And if you do, I suspect that your definition of legibility may be a bit too puritanical 😊

yes!

They quote books that they never really understood and lack the culture to understand that the reason why intelligence is — to the best of our current knowledge — substrate independent is also the reason why AGIs will necessarily people.

Most of these guys are plain dorks.

Altman never understood Deutsch with any depth. Him invoking on of his books to mix up creativity with induction is a good example of how shallow he is… same for Thompson. These guys don’t know anything about — and clearly were never interested in — epistemology.

@gruber.foo could use a refresher 😊

According to postmodernism, there are no assertions, only narratives; no truth but someone's truth; any convenient thing becomes your truth, and its effect on people is what matters, not its correspondence with reality.

It would be challenging to revert to Google. Kagi offers a significant improvement in terms of quality and clarity in search results, resulting in more efficient searches.

I see but it’s a solvable issue. Correlation engines face two intractable issues : inexplicit knowledge and the limits of induction.

No, a lot of the things we know are not explicit. Nor are they even conscious, actually. Language is just a distillation of what we know. And you can’t seriously hope to reverse-engineer human intelligence from what humans say to write.

Even early web was fraught with liabilities for hosts.

Building it would result in way more downsides than upsides for the owner.

some people do miss you on X btw… I told them you’re here. The best will follow!

Love this new lamp to no end 💕 Matches my charger too 😊

Wokism is the sacralization of historically marginalized groups, whether racial, ethno-religious, sex, or sexual preferences-based. Except the Jews, of course, because antisemitism loves nothing more than lazy thinking.

The bad epistemology and weak science of Jonathan Haidt wins again 🙄

Ever looked into Kagi.com? They offer most LLMs. You can compare, tweak each one of them for specific uses, compare their results instantly… the dream!

Kagi’s the best.

Also remarkable:

2025 will be the square year of our lifetime — next one is 2116.

Communicating with anyone in the world is about as hard as convincing your best friend to read a single paragraph of David Deutsch.

Voted!

Vaguely suicidal cluelessness is always trending. It’s cold over there.

What most proponents of a god-like super-intelligence miss is that the world has its own speed and cannot be accelerated. You have to understand it on those terms, in a way.

The less educated will argue that super-AGIs would use accelerated simulations, but they didn’t think that through 🤓
