@humansandagents @fchollet I think the problem is with "self-initiated". That gets muddled when you move to the atomic level. It's better to think of life as genes/replicators

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@PavlosProkopeas @fchollet Is a rock conscious?

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@humansandagents @fchollet It's a bad definition for living actually. Can't blame Aristotle for getting it wrong though

@olivertraldi 😂

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@perigean @dchackethal No it doesn't

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@F_Vaggi @olivertraldi Depressing

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@Benthamsbulldog Without a theory or explanation about which creatures feel pain or don't and how bad that pain is you can't begin the attempt to quantify pain in the way you're doing.

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@canadabirdie They literally did exactly that for thousands of years. You think bridges were invented recently?

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@BKKKKK00 @scaling01 It's not capable currently and we have no idea how to build it

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@theRedding @AdrienLoridan @scaling01 The AI can't, that's the point. You won't understand though

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@paulatreides229 @scaling01 I guess you're just a lot smarter than all those so called geniuses!

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@vkapartzianis @atteonthephone @scaling01 That's not what it says

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@scaling01 You guys are all pretty dumb 🫠

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@erikrcarlson @scaling01 No.

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@bradthomasbrown @scaling01 That's not what it says though? Show me the passage where he says that

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@ghostmylight1 @scaling01 You're retarded?

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

It doesn't have to be teleological or inexorably getting better. Knowledge can be lost, regressions occurs, but I think if you look at things on the scale of hundreds or thousands of years there's undoubtedly been progress. It's not inevitable though and not every moral fashion is form of progress

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

You're dodging the question. And I already told you I know where you're trying to go with this and I already agreed with you that it can't be all explicit knowledge. I'm calling the unconscious knowledge too because it's also learned (or capable of changing). If one isn't courageous it's possible to learn to have greater courage

[Osculation @bentpurgatory]

@catpoopburglar @mattyglesias We're talking about someone making a decision. What do you think courage is?
