To be fair that means they’d be making money without spez’s 193 million salary. https://fortune.com/2024/03/19/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-defends-193-million-compensation-following-backlash-unpaid-moderators/

Is that the same or different from the only putting on one pitot tube fiasco? Or the rollover issue that downed planes randomly around 9/11 and everyone thought we were under attack again? I’m losing track at this point.

The laws of physics are no less or more applicable to our own biology in terms of complexity, density, scale, and information capacity and in most ways is far less efficient and accurate than their silicon counterparts.

There is nothing to suggest the growth in computer intelligence is going to stop occurring or it’s doing anything but just getting started.

Holy wall of unparagraphed word salad, Again you are not understanding what is and isn’t an evolutionary process, a disease can wipe out half a species and that is considered a process of evolution. You don’t have to be intelligent about it, all you have to do is continue to increase complexity due to an external force and that is it. That’s all that is needed to have an evolutionary force.

With computers we don’t have to know what we are doing (to recreate consciousness), we just have to select for better more complex systems (the same way evolution did for humans) which is the inevitable result of progress. Do you think computers are going to stop improving? The road maps for chip architecture for the next ten years doesn’t seem to suggest it’s slowing down yet.

And like the fractalization of coastlines, facts, knowledge and data are completely unlimited, the deeper you look the more there is.

On top of all of this you have the fact that progress has constantly been accelerating in a way that human intelligence is incapable of percieving accurately.

Therefore computer intelligence is vastly going to outpace or own. And very soon too.

As I said that answer seems incredibly arrogant in the face of evolutionary pressure and logarithmic growth.

You can compare human intelligence to centuries ago on a simple linear scale. Neural density has not increased by any stretch of the imagination in the way that transistor density has. But I’m not just talking density I’m talking about scalability that is infinite. Infinite scale of knowledge and data.

Let’s face it people are already not that intelligent, we are smart enough to use the technology of other smarter people. And then there are computers, they are growing intelligently with an artificial evolutionary pressure being exerted on their development, and you’re telling me that that’s not going to continue to surpass us in every way? There is very little to stop computers from being intelligent on a galactic scale.

I have a counter argument. From an evolutionary standpoint, if you keep doubling computer capacity exponentially isn’t it extraordinarily arrogant of humans to assume that their evolutionarily stagnant brains will remain relevant for much longer?

I’m willing to be convinced you just don’t have it. And I’m not your bud.

“He openly admits the punchlines of a joke? No way.”

Nice of you to admit that you think being trans is the punchline of a joke.

Describe a punchline then that’s funny of his now?

(I haven’t watched him since he occasionally got a laugh out of me when I would skip through the Chapelle show. But usually even back then, he was only funny because it was playing off racist tropes and the uncomfortability added to the humor. He threaded the needle a bit back then, but even he admitted his comedy did more harm than good. Right now he’s doing way more harm to my people, just to grab cash because apparently his Chapelle show money wasn’t enough)

Berkshire Hathaway’s investors and Warren Buffet probably, but idgaf really. Just answering the question, and it’s not like that’s what investments do as they get re-evaluated (exacerbated by the unfolding AI market.) https://www.investopedia.com/berkshire-hathaway-swings-to-profit-q2-2023-7570232

And also not that different from how most people would describe their fellow earthers.

Ie - we aren’t that much more complicated than that when it gets right down to the philosophical break down of what an “I” is.
