  1. Unless it's efficient enough to not need those crazy server farms. If you think about it, a human brain does not need a nuclear powerplant worth of energy to do AGI. So this crazy hardware scaling may be the wrong approach. Locally run AI might be the better way.
  2. But those can probably be easily cloned. What prevents anyone from just cloning any AI? That's the issue.
  3. What's interesting about these chatbots is that they seem to not offer much monopoly potential. There's no "secret sauce" or brand to them to justify buidling a trillion dollar company. They are too generic, AI as a commodity. The truly profitable AI will need to be much more specialized than a chatbot and more integrated with special hardware or special software. The real profits are probably more in stuff like robotics.
  4. Contemplation applies to all domains, all activities. But it must not be used to avoid experience or getting hands-on with things. Whatever limits contemplation may have ought to be contemplated to be understood. Good contemplation requires experience as grist for the mill.
  5. There is a disturbing trend of streamers getting into weird, twisted sex controversies. Streamer culture is very immature.
  6. Probably because that's what they see others doing, and shamans normalize this sort of behavior. Also the doses used are too high for newbies.
  7. The more interesting question is whether Qi and atoms can be considered equal in reality, or is one more real than the other? That's profound to investigate. Notice that the Chinese also believe in atoms, but westerners don't believe in Qi.
  8. If you move near the speed of light videos will get released to you faster. So it is actually possible.
  9. But China needs so many topics censored I'm not sure that will work. And how do you censor a locally run open-source model?
  10. I heard about this just yesterday and wanted to try it out.
  11. But if this AI is so open-source, how they gonna censor it? And what happens to their society when their censorship fails?
  12. People are reading too much into this salute. Much better to just read his words.
  13. Because I knew he would be upset by that so I was hoping to give him time to correct his behavior. I tried to guide him with feedback but he was not open to it. I wanted to handle the situation without losing him. I almost succeeded in that because he was open to stepping down earlier this month without being upset about it. I don't know you well enough to make such a deep assessment. Keep in mind that while you guys know me very well, I hardly know most of you. There are hundreds of people here and it's hard to keep track of everyone. People come and go, usernames change, fake identities are used, etc. I have very little information about most of you and I don't read and remember all your posts. I was contemplating that last night. Honestly, I don't recall anymore. I selected him a long time ago and I couldn't remember why. But I remember him being much more grounded and more mature back then. Somehow over the years the frog slowly got boiled and even though I smelled that something was off about him, I also give mods more of the benefit of the doubt and leeway because they do a lot of thankless work and I don't like just demoting them out of the blue because that is hurtful. In reteospect I should have been more decisive about his odd behavior. Sometimes I see odd behavior in people here and I try to just let it go, so that I am not too controlling or authoritarian. But this can backfire as things can fester and then blow up.
  14. It will be back soon. It's down due to the Vimeo problems we've been trying to fix. A Siamese cat is not an exotic pet. You can easily get one. I had two sugar gliders as a teen. That was my most exotic pet.
  15. @The Crocodile Stop provoking him. Let it go.
  16. I teach very advanced things. Isn't that obvious? That's because I have an advanced mind and if you want simple teaching those are a dime a dozen. Bookstores are filled with basic self-help advice. My mind is not needed for that. My focus is to teach things no one else will teach you. It's like I teach graduate school, not high school. Most people never get to grad school. But also, I try to make things very accessible because this doesn't require some crazy IQ to understand and normal people can learn it.
  17. That is so true! I've been hammering that point. Thanks for sharing.
  18. Seems to me that Musk's ideology is anti-wokeness, and just maximizing his own power. Not Nazism.
  19. What is the punishment for sharing nudes in his state? Does Florida even have a revenge porn law? Why is he being sued in federal court?
  20. But China will not allow its citizens to use this AI for serious independent critical thinking. How will their society handle this, since they are so into censorship? How can China have serious AI when they don't even allow basic www internet?
  21. I reach out people who I feel are suitable and I am very selective about it. Please don't take it personally but most people are not right for the job.
  22. It is sad to see Musk devolve into such low quality perspective and corruption. If social media can rot his mind, what chance do normies and Gen Z have? The online media social matrix is terrifying in its ability to create self-deception. It's like a mass self-deception machine and hardly anyone is aware of its epistemic distortion effects on mankind yet. And AI now throws gasoline on that fire. The 21st century could go down in history as the century of the epistemic degeneracy of mankind.
  23. I don't even remember the thumbnail.
  24. Please don't.
