If you work at a desk and have repetitive strain injury, posture problems, hand/arm/neck/back pain, poor ergonomics, weak core strength… I had all those problems, tried just about everything, and over about a decade developed reliable methods to solve them. Here is the gist.

@Star_Knight12 And some features we did

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@BillyM2k Maybe once a year. Not often

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@mSanterre Is the solution space not massive even in frontier AI? Genuine question.

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@perrymetzger You mean you guys know what you want?

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@SpencrGreenberg I don’t expect such an indicator to be very feasible

I’m not sure we would know if we were zero years away

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@Budgetdog_ We make a point of walking the neighborhood every day of the year

It’s summer so our kids go to the pool, drop by a friend’s or vice versa

@girdley ☑️

@config_Geist @MasterTimBlais All fair

Re: your question:

The left side is closer to human experience, the right side is further:

Geocentric vs heliocentric
Static species vs evolution
Humors vs germs
Einstein vs Newton
Subatomics vs Dalton

Perhaps:
Biocentric vs substrate-indep consciousness

@ScottOgden1 @MasterTimBlais Heh, assume the consequent with this one neat trick

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@config_Geist @MasterTimBlais A strong defense of the dependence assumption, and I’m sympathetic

To counter:

Occam’s razor favors fewer constraints

Newton’s 1st law of motion establishes a mechanic for consciousness in all matter

The trend of scientific discovery is away from anthropocentrism

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@getjonwithit Maybe but that’s way too many terms for the general public

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@GaryMarcus FWIW they claim to be spending effort (money) on a slowdown verification tool that could then in theory be used by govs for regulation

That would be an impressive technical achievement

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@visakanv You pose interesting questions and then explore them with curiosity

[Software Dev @swdevservice]

@tenobrus But how do I know which code to read? Oh I know lemme ask ai…

@SurpriseHangman @MasterTimBlais I admit, that one was an assertion

An attempt to justify:

Although we can couch either dependence or independence as a “rule”, independence is the less constrained of the two

Occam’s razor, essentially

Fewer axiomatic constraints
