Shameless plug of personal blog post, but relevant. Still not fully edited, so writing is a bit scattered, but crux is we now have the framework for talking about consciousness intelligently. It's not as mysterious as…
This isn't true. I wrote a blog post about it a while back but never finished. It's complete enough to demonstrate the point though so I'll plug anyway https://stefanlavelle.substack.com/p/no-language-isnt-enough TLDR:…
Manufacturers mostly make black or white cars because that's what people want. Modern culture has made people so boringly conventional that there's no point in manufacturers painting on different colours, so they charge…
The irony of this post. Brains are sparser than transformers, not denser. That allows you to learn symbolic concepts instead of generalising from billions of spurious correlations. Sure, that works when you've memorised…
Turing Completeness is an incredibly low bar and it doesn't undermine this criticism. Conway's Game of Life is Turing Complete, but try writing modern software with it. That Transformers can express arbitrary programs…
For how long? Being recent (on evolutionary timescales), evolution has created selection pressures on previously irrelevant variables (the desire to have children, in particular). Without contraception or female labor…
