Just a 'lil guy on the web. Also on Mastodon and Pixey

  • Droid "lost cause" nonsense -- the separatists were a cat's paw for Palpatine, and he's dead now.

    Er, right?

  • hmm

  • The thing I enjoy about these sort of devices is when it inspires the manufacturer to actually optimize their software so it will run on the weakest, cheapest hardware. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes I'm amazed on what people can do with things like < $1 microcontrollers.

  • Not an O-face, but a NO-face.

  • Hm? I was agreeing with your 2nd point. I was merely adding to that by pointing out that we've only recently begun to recognize non-human intelligence in species like crows (tool use), cetaceans (language), higher primates (tool use, language, and social organization); which leaves me concerned that, if an AI were to "emerge" that was very different than human intelligence, we'd likely fail to notice it, potentially cutting off an otherwise promising development path.

  • I don't know if motorcycles were involved, but daddy was born to ride.

  • Ah, in that case we agree! I also believe that if a genuine AI ever comes about it will be quite alien.

  • Those are two separate questions, I think.

    1. "You think we won’t be able to use AI" -- If there is some day actual artificial intelligence, I have no idea if humans can "use" it.
    2. "we can’t recognize intelligence?" -- I think you can make the case that historically we haven't been great about recognizing non-human intelligence.

    What I am saying is that if we ever invent an actual AGI, unless it thinks and, more importantly, speaks in a way we recognize, we won't even realize what we invented.

  • I was being a little sarcastic 😆 . But I admit I don't understand the analogy; what relationship does human thought have to do with human sewing?

  • You're right, thinking and sewing are exactly as complex.

  • 2 - It doesn’t matter at all, intelligence doesn’t need to think like us.

    Agreed, but look at the history of how humans have thought about the presumed intelligence (or lack of it) in animals; we seem to be bad at recognizing intelligence that doesn't mirror our own.

  • It seemed... logical at the time!

  • Where is the big bright beautiful tomorrow that we were promised?

  • I just started a new pyromancer build in Dark Souls III. I sure hope blood echos are compatible with soul leveling, or else it’s going to be a long night.
