I’m not sure what this “rationalist” thing is but I think almost every blog entry is too long. Half the posts on this site are too long, get to the point. I have actual books to read by people that wrote their works 100 years ago, why would I spend an hour reading something that was written in San Francisco last week?

Lol

Because people are mentally unwell and would rather not spend any time actually in the moment and doing life. They’d rather just free up all this “wasted” time so they can sit on their arse and watch the 8th series of the latest Netflix programme. They live to consume.

Felt like you hurt his ego I think you made him feel stupid, lol. Bet he didn’t realise you could do that or sommat.

Haha, so dogmatic. You reckon calling half of the UK fuckwits is a smart position? Maybe you’re the fuckwit.

Lol, this guy thinks you pay for information.

Do you think every bit of literature that is old, has no copyright, and in the public realm is trash? I tend to think the opposite actually. Nothing that’s been written in the past 100 years is worth the paper it’s on in my opinion. Maybe you’re the one who’s PAYING to read trash?

Right? Lots of people all over this page to be describing autism rather than intelligence which I find slightly weird.

Sounds pretty mid.

Yeh what even is smart really? There’s a bit of objectiveness here I think. For me, if you’re not using your smarts to be happy (or content with life) that’s not very smart.

Of matter.

Materialisation?

Yeh I totally agree. I’d go one step further and say even if one of these models cured cancer it’s still only going to have done it in a computer-y way doing computer stuff. Can that same model experience a beautiful landscape and convey its emotions in an evocative way, could it tell how you’re feeling when you come back from work after a hard day? Could it hop on one leg? What the hell even is AGI and how does it differ from GI? I don’t know what we’re even talking about any more!
