you’re gish galloping all over the place here and it seems like you would rather rant about how you think consciousness will evolve so by all means go off queen

you’d have a point if Canadian healthcare wasn’t pushing MAID on the chronically ill

no singular challenge and no singular ideal, simple as that
be a rock, be a tree, be a dildo, be whatever, just don’t pretend that your ideal should supersede mine like Thiel does here
comment in response to
post
no I’m saying that the syncretic Christian ideal of a universal perfected form: a return to Edenic bliss, that Thiel implicitly invokes in bastardized form as the right goal of transcendence, is a shallow vision

yeah the cost part is fair to sneer down upon us about but the quality part? not so much
comment in response to

I think this ideal of transcendent perfection is a sign of a profoundly shallow imagination

you’re right Americans are really slacking in the slur research department and falling way behind their Anglosphere rivals

equilibrium propagation isn’t quite right: the equilibrium achieved is a near-critical flow of several related components that are, importantly, not all in identical aqueous environments—think more like learning rate being allowed to vary in dynamic patch sizes across the whole network

there are not so many published papers that demo huge problems with mRNA vaccines
there are a lot of truck rants and TikToks that purport to demo problems there but they are not the same thing as actual research papers

worth noting none of that is a hypothetical potential, those attributes are things being developed right now and are featured in a lot of recent arxiv pre-prints

you’re comparing a single LLM to a single human and it’s leading you astray
LLMs learn the same way *groups* of humans do, only difference is in embedding *format*
you individually cannot replicate statistical frequency of words but sample 1000 ppl and you get it

I mean there are a bunch of adaptations that suggest we’re already fairly domesticated: gluten and lactose tolerance, no specific fertile mating season, small incisors, urban ectoparasite immune recognition, high alcohol dehydrogenase

ok so you’re not willing to pay for developer time or tutoring nor are you willing to work with emerging tools for it, so good luck with your script going forward, may it keep working for you for a long long time
comment in response to
post
1) it’s not automatically badly done bc an LLM made it
2) you run it and break it and learn how to troubleshoot it regardless of whether it’s made by a human student or LLM
3) why are you even arguing that point? we’ve already established that you’re not willing to invest in learning anything here
comment in response to
post
I agree for cases like yours where people are unwilling to put in any real effort to the goal
for people willing to climb a learning curve, it can be extremely useful
comment in response to
post
you’re arguing yourself into a corner
> the script is valuable to you
> not valuable enough to pay a human to make
> not valuable enough to climb a learning curve
> AI could help but then you’re in the same exact spot you are now
> just valuable enough to score rhetorical anti-LLM points

I’d like to dedicate one to the smell of sea salt, huckleberry, moss, and blooming honeysuckle that I smelled today

can you show us an example of each applied to any of your other prophecies?
