"Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in the period 3000 BC – AD 500."

From a quick read of the model used [0], it seems to simulate neurons and muscles at a functional level (not atoms or cell internals).

What I don't understand is where is the memory? How does GPT-3 or ChatGPT remember so much information with just that architecture? It would seem that the maximum it could remember is 2048 words.
EDIT: Maybe it's 2048 x 96? Still seems low for what it can do.

I'm fairly sure GPT-3 can't do any of that, because it was trained only with text. That is, it was trained without the context we are exposed to. Now imagine if it was trained with a body (similar sensors to what we have) in the real world. I'm not so sure we wouldn't get something indistinguishable from a human.

Depends on the model used. Some models say we already have 2C locked in: https://www.ecowatch.com/greenhouse-gases-paris-agreement-26...

Found something that could in fact trigger mass extinction due to acidification [0,1], however not on the stated timeline.

Does anyone have references for these claims? Particularly:
> pH will drop to pH7.95 by 2045, and most marine life in our oceans dissolve.

"Explicit construction of Local Hidden Variables for any quantum theory up to any desired accuracy"
https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.04335
Or right in the page I linked: "This makes it possible to construct a local hidden-variable theory that reproduces the predictions of quantum mechanics, for which a few toy models have been proposed."

Regarding global conspiracy:
"Explicit construction of Local Hidden Variables for any quantum theory up to any desired accuracy"
https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.04335
Regarding unfalsifiable, from [0] "If engineers ever succeed in making such quantum computers, it seems to me that the CAT is falsified; no classical theory can explain quantum mechanics." By "such quantum computers" he means computers that can run Shor's algorithm. "...but factoring a number with millions of digits into its prime factors will not be possible – unless fundamentally improved classical algorithms turn out to exist."

Now, this does not mean these theories are ready, but they are being worked on.
It doesn't seem strategies like this will work in the future. Even the least extreme predictions point to world economy contraction.
