If we consider that we have the technology for copying and reproducing human knowledge on a massive scale for less than 600 years, all this knowledge digitalized and available to everyone on the planet through the internet for less than 50 years and we managed to parse all of that and create models that can do any sort of reasoning on that knowledge in the last 10 years, I'm pretty sure more advanced, older alien civilizations could have entire universes mapped and modeled this way which ultimately makes the idea that we live in some sort of simulation not so foreign any more.

Do you think it really needs to be a completely novel approach? If you assume equivalents of gigantic LLM models can be trained in image/audio/haptic modalities and connected together to get the "big picture of the world" + if they could get a human/animal-like robot bodies which could speak/move/touch and learn from the experiences, wouldn't this be enough for AGI? I mean, yeah, we still need a lot of work to get there, but from today's perspective it already feels just like more of "the same" thing, no?

Can you elaborate on those thought experiments?

> I believe that AI should stand for alien intelligence

I don't get that analogy. That text is literally coming from this very star system.

If you have a "CEO" in a 4 people company, AI doesn't seem to be your only problem :)

Except when it turns out that some random features don't work as expected it pisses me off enormously as it breaks the whole promise of the clone.

Now they also have 100k different ways to organize the data.

Private Revolutions: Four Women Face China's New Social Order

Not sure if this one qualifies as more meaty :)

Machines still cannot make babies ... Just sayin'.

Oh boy, I've spent more hours playing it than I dare to admit. I won over 10000 battle.net games ... on just one of my several accounts :) When the SC2 beta came out, I played about 50-100 games and never bought the full game, because I knew it would be like heroin to me, and I was already an adult that had to take care of himself.

How would one define self-awareness?

An AI that hacks and rules the world! Oh, wait ...

Hi, I'm Mariusz. I have 15 years of experience building high scale apps using Ruby on Rails with startups from US, Canada, Europe, Australia and Taiwan. Most recently, I've been a part of a hybrid team working on a content creators platform at Playboy. I'm interested in both tech lead and senior/staff level individual contributor roles alike and I'm open to work with other tech stacks too, e.g. Python, Elixir, Scala, Golang, C, Node.js or help out with ML integrations.
