@Plinz The spirit is the ability to have cohesion & intent over the dimension of time. Memory & identity are inherently linked to the meaning of life.

@St_Rev @sonyasupposedly There’s a state that’s hard to explain when you are a “free agent” & judge other “free agents” based on what they do with that capacity & power. Do they take responsibility for potential to affect other lives? If you are standing on a hill, you see others standing on hills.

@jfberke @dwallacewells lol if you think it’s only or primarily the left that is opposed to them -
You are in for a big surprise.

@skdh Does “tying up loose ends” (inaccurate I think) lead to a smoothing of the frontier or a new jagged edge with new “gaps” to fill? I think it’s the latter- I think progress IS new “jags” at the edge.

@TheHoganHero @Debakelna @auraleyode @richcalhoun @RizomaSchool I disagree- just implying the presence of cadmium (which is like 3-5% worldwide) instantly turns 90% of normies against it. We should just stop with cdte cells at this point. Commercial solar farms are nearly impossible to get approval for in the US locally now.

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@TheHoganHero @Debakelna @auraleyode @richcalhoun @RizomaSchool No cadmium in any silicon solar panels and some have a small amount of lead in some Soldered joints but there are tons of panels that are totally lead free also.

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@TheHoganHero @auraleyode @richcalhoun @RizomaSchool No heavy metals in the panels. Don’t spread FUD

@NoahJSnyder @tonylfeng Because it was largely RL’d BY Mythos/Fable to perform as a sub-agent. That doesn’t mean it’s an overall huge capability regression. It’s more of a “cultural” affect then a fundamental capability loss. In fact much of its communication style is overly dense to max info per token

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@NoahJSnyder @tonylfeng I do disagree- but sorry for the tone, it is probably a result of short message limitations. “Regression” is not as systematic as people think, it’s more a function of the “interface layer” not being optimized for human interaction. It’s not reinforced to talk how you want.

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@tonylfeng @davikrehalt There needs to be more weight to advancing mathematics (& human understanding of maths) over individual career success as well. Note that an even playing field of participants is what has advanced software mightily via open source, acting as a marketplace of “prove it by doing”

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@NoahJSnyder @tonylfeng That “deterioration” is sort of overblown and primarily due to the models that were previously the “top tier” models, meant for human interaction, have now been optimized / RL’d by now higher tier models for use as sub-agents. This is specifically the Fable / Opus situation

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@Shoggathic @Jacob_Tsimerman So a Maths wiki? How far off is arXiv from that?

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@Jacob_Tsimerman Here’s what I don’t understand- humans have a drive to explore and technology has continuously allowed us to push the frontier and range of what we can explore. Were explorers using ships with sails inherently losing part of their humanity because they didn’t swim?

@Plinz Is a complete and mathematically correct ethical system even possible within the confines of human language? one capable of “computing” the right answer for every future ethical scenario?

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@mattyglesias My US dollar has become extraordinarily good at buying global capital and automated production, but much worse at buying local human labor. Which makes me ask: what is an economy actually for? Maximizing material abundance? Is it also to sustain communities?

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@evantshen @mattyglesias LASIK is also highly tied to capital cost of equipment and skill required to operate. Both have come down significantly. Inflation of the dollar would be an order of magnitude higher without cost savings of technology & material goods.

“All progress depends on Unreasonable minds”- so neurodiversity is an evolutionary search to produce the most unreasonable mind that’s still accepted by other humans & can bring consolidation of possibility space search back into the cultural mind or tech tree?

[Adam Devereaux @wiredsim]

@DaveShapi No, and we need to stop acting like they could legally do so, stop shifting the Overton window and providing cover for this BS.
