The mental model of how the law works that most people have is wrong. The law does not, by default, prosecute all crimes. There is no country in the world that has even close to the law enforcement capacity to…
my comment was tounge-in-cheek, pointing out that its essentially eugenics which is a controversial topic. although apparently less so when its applied to "Y chromosome holders" as you can see in a sibling reply where…
cool idea. once we have mandated ivf as the only way of conception we can probably start selecting sperm from populations with higher than average iq too.
gawd this is so misogynistic, some women like having men around, for whatever reason. perhaps we can keep a few around for women into that.
I mean some people have a definition of intelligence that includes a light switch, it has an internal state, it reacts to external stimuli to affect the world around it, so a light switch is more intelligent than a…
We have messed up the terms. We already have AGI, artificial general intelligence. It may not be super intelligence but nonetheless if you ask current models to do something, explains something etc, in some general…
> it all rests on (relatively) simple mathematics. We know this is true. We also know that means it has limitations and can't actually reason information. What do you imagine is happening inside biological minds that…
ita disconcerting to see such naivety around security issues on hn. not that windows is keeping passwords in plaintext, but that it's not immediately obvious that un-sandboxed apps that run on your windows/linux/mac…
Things are very black and white these days, no room for shades.
Fine, that's still extra information. More accurately in the context of the comment, its "Im gonna be an asshole to you because I think you don't have the life experience I do", which is at least, some kind of signal. I…
Do you honestly think an insult never brought about a change in a person? You never think a carefully landed and accurate insult made someone reconsider their position? Weird, because in my experience, that has happened…
No comment.
It was for effect. Maybe you'd prefer if we were all maximally polite drones but that's not how humans are, going back to GPs point, and I don't think it's a state than anyone truly wants either.
That would be removing information and strictly worse that including it. Communication is about communicating information, sometimes a terse short and aggressive style is the most effective way. It activates neurons in…

Where did he signal this? Once you find the quote, go onto politco (a not exactly pro-trump site) fact-checking service to get the full context.
The FBI and 51 Intelligence officials signed a document saying Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation 2-3 weeks before the last election, when in fact it was actually Hunter Biden's laptop. Is this a true…
Whereas you are an "Evil_Saint" ? Hopefully you don't get to power yourself, with that kind of username, and all your book knowledge.
So you prefer corporate speak suits who don't make the mistake of embarrassing themselves in public? Because they don't ever speak in public? Are you honestly telling me you prefer un-named lobbyists having influence,…
The reason trump won is that is he authentic. He is following through on his promises. He doesn't have 20 speech writers corralling his every word to be completely neutral and say nothing at all. It's insane to me that…
Whatever you think about Musk, he is a lot more transparent than other big donors and people who vie for influence in the USG. He is an idiot at times for sure, but he is an idiot publicly. It's insane to me that people…
I have never seen a thread on this site so full of vitriol, hatred, threats of blacklisting for life, threats of violence and general hysteria. And that kind of rhetoric is entirely coming from one side. (or at least…
There is so much confusion about terms like AGI, superintelligence, ASGI, consciousness, agents. For some, AGI is synonymous with Skynet like ideas, but there is no reason AGI couldn't be general but quite limited, and…

To me it's pretty obvious that we are somewhere in-between the two in temperament, but probably tending quite a bit more toward the chimps. I don't have a peer-reviewed study or empirical proof etc but some things are…
