@reedmreynolds @waitbutwhy No system is perfect. Even if you do and everyone will want to press red, there might be many sorts of bad luck (color blindless, bit-flips, etc.) for some to end up blue.

@waitbutwhy Do you have a time series, how the votes have progressed over time?
Just wondering if this trolley problem on steroids will be derailed.

Also, even if red is the logical choice for survival, it completely ignores risk assessment. If you pressed it but bit flipped to blue... RIP.

Communications security too, so an exchange with someone trusty about a thought play with the nastiest ideas ever known to humans won't be made a shit show for me during my lifetime, and especially not a quick cash gab for your capitalist asses.

@kate_selig Thanks for the rich and solid @BostonGlobe article about J. Bach! Compared to his life work, this fine piece finally inspired me to go into AGI/LLM research, so that you humble people (with your obsolete becoming jobs) can pin your biased looks back onto yourselves.

@_winter_wonders Using poisoned tools equals surrender?
What about antidotes?

I'm not gonna sugar coat it: if you're serious about understanding reality deeply (and I mean deeply), some people will think you're crazy. That you've lost the plot. That you're lost in outer space. That you've broken your access to consensus reality. Etc.

But listen to a String Theorist speak. The average person doesn't understand 1% of what they say, and *project* their own misconceptions, half baked ideas, prejudices, and unexamined assumptions onto the things the String Theorist is saying. Yes the String Theorist makes sense. The framework is internally consistent. But mental data structures to communicate it are missing from the cultural memetic soup. Within the minimal set of data structures to span the actual theory, you don't even see the theory. You see your own projections!

Same. Same. Same. With consciousness and reality.

If you're serious about understanding reality you can indeed have peers. Epistemic, academic, intellectual peers. But can you do it without many people thinking you've lost your marbles? Not a chance.

If you give up your satisfaction for others, you will lose both.

@XorDev I'd go further: any description would be inadequate and also never complete.
Any attempt to do so would just cloth an ungraspable concept with one's own values.

[Xentec @A_I7]

@XorDev Which definition of 'God' do you follow?

Can you back that up? 😉

"Is mathematics invented or discovered?"
Why do we need a single binary output?
Mathematics is discovered by observing and invented by writing it down into an approachable form.

@apples_jimmy Great show!
Second season may felt rushed, though, since their budget was cut, and they needed to end it there. Despite that, the final episode made it all worth and beyond.

[Xentec @A_I7]

@PiquantParvenu Because you're ahead of time.
