Last night was pretty brilliant; visually spectacular; engaging. For me, stories, Kepler's bridge; Planck's Grunewald walk - For my son Max, Bosons, symmetry and black hole info floated his boat. Both; Science so much more to show us as long as you're curious, stay open-minded and keep hubris in check. PS: Kudos on The Final Countdown
@davidasinclair Maybe we are closer to it being even more convincing; conscious vs not conscious might not end up being the question. Our future experiences and how we react within these newly formed frames of reference models bring with them. Question is how do you feel about being convinced?
@paulg "all in" from PG; last several months using frontier models have curve-balled me from non-linear abstractions, wildly domain capability and lateral human philosophies. this post should age well.
@paulg@JoshHochschild@Pontifex I'd guess not using classically understood Turing compute; just modelling 8.3 billion current cell states for each passing second - not enough monkeys and certainly not enough typewriters. Something we don't yet understand at play; travel westward or see God, you get to choose.
@signulll@BecomingCritter The jar of life is still the jar; more social sand than ever. what was spicy became spicier with those years of enforced childhood boredom serving a hidden purpose.
@AviSchiffmann@NinosMaron less will be more - design elegance realised through ultra passive capture; a bubbled hi-freq field pocket sized harmonic device not dissimilar to a sonar shroud. that would be cool; that what was captured unobtrusively for us even cooler.
@paulg@clairlemon Focussing purely on output from both systems; human or AI; they're both real. Probabilistically so! Isolating these differences becomes really hard and probably less relevant as model complexity marches on.
@ArianGokhale@signulll promise of concierge whilst so alluring could be our Trojan horse moment; building purpose vs engaging in purposefulness that differentiator. Never found average; similar at best, people are really unique if you get to look deeper; hear their stories.
