@inaglasstunnel@tomieinlove yes. providence only looks plausible from the macro view. too many people have been through immense suffering, torture, and death
We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech!
Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs.
This is a GPT3 moment for speech.
We're losing the art of the reply. So many people nowadays love to quotetweet posts, even posts from their own mutuals, when a reply would fit the content just as well. Remember that a reply is generous, and contributes to the post of others.
@eternalism_now and some low status growing up is also essential to having that dawg in you. maybe thats a good trait post-singularity, or maybe its not
@eternalism_now very reasonable. the mind is most important. if we have anything like a society after takeoff, one of the main ways i envision it going is status becomes the only thing that matters and the minimum rises. but contents of character will be main thing anyway, less fungible
@eternalism_now the trial is to sculpt your self/environment/experience into what you need, not to uselessly self-flagellate by denying your own nature in a heroic, white-knuckling failed attempt at self-authorship
@eternalism_now a belief in ones own agency is certainly essential to making use of any agency you may have, but so is recognizing where your agency is restricted, so you may learn to weave within the available parameters.
we all have value-guarding instincts built into us that makes wireheading sound unappealing. but when you actually experience it, you wonβt care about those values anymore
How wireheading sounds:
A hollow, meaningless existence of endless pleasure, devoid of any real experiences or purpose
How wireheading feels:
WOOO! WOW! YEAH! THIS ROCKS!
WOOO! WOW! YEAH! THIS ROCKS!
WOOO! WOW! YEAH! THIS ROCKS!
@transkatgirl (like maybe your brain is kept rejuvenated by the machine, or maybe its in the form of a simulated life with just enough win-able adversity to make the perfect adventure)
@transkatgirl if the wireheaded ever stops enjoying the experience, itβs been done wrong, a skill issue, and thus not true wireheading. the premise assumes that whatever design decisions could be made to make it work, have been implemented.
