Hypocrites showing their true colors. It’s never been about wether the shooting was justified or not but rather how they feel about the victim.

Who wants AGI other than war pigs and billionaires?

Every single person suffering from a chronic / terminal illnes for example. If a problem can be solved, then AGI can solve it.

Why is AGI not in reach? What insight do you have on the matter than you can so confidently make an absolute statement like that?

That’s not my argument at all. I never said an algorithm is AI just because it has many steps. The key difference isn’t complexity - it’s the nature of what the algorithm does. A Tic-Tac-Toe AI can be extremely simple yet still counts as AI where as something like a game physics engine is extremely complex yet it doesn’t simulate intelligence, just physics. Bubble sort follows a fixed sequence with no decision-making. A chess engine, on the other hand, evaluates different moves, predicts outcomes, and optimizes decisions based on a strategy. That’s not just ‘many steps’ - it’s a process of selecting the best action based on the current situation. If you think my argument is about complexity rather than decision-making, you’ve misunderstood my point.

What is inevitable? At no point have I claimed that our actions are set in stone. That would imply fatalism which equally suggest that things can happen without anything causing them to happen.

I want chocolate, I don’t eat chocolate, exercise of free will.

There’s a reason you don’t eat chocolate - likely health concerns or fear of weight gain. Your desire to stay healthy is stronger than your desire to eat chocolate. But you can’t take credit for that any more than you can blame an alcoholic for their inability to resist drinking.

Bubble sort is just a basic set of steps for sorting numbers - it doesn’t make choices or adapt. A chess engine, on the other hand, looks at different possible moves, evaluates which one is best, and adjusts based on the opponent’s play. It actively searches through options and makes decisions, while bubble sort just follows the same repetitive process no matter what. That’s a huge difference.

How’s insulting the people respectfully disagreeing with you working out so far? That ad-hominem was completely uncalled for.

It’s not. Bubble sort is a purely deterministic algorithm with no learning or intelligence involved.

pretending LLMs are AI

LLMs are AI. There’s a common misconception about what ‘AI’ actually means. Many people equate AI with the advanced, human-like intelligence depicted in sci-fi - like HAL 9000, JARVIS, Ava, Mother, Samantha, Skynet, and GERTY. These systems represent a type of AI called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), designed to perform a wide range of tasks and demonstrate a form of general intelligence similar to humans.

However, AI itself doesn’t imply general intelligence. Even something as simple as a chess-playing robot qualifies as AI. Although it’s a narrow AI, excelling in just one task, it still fits within the AI category. So, AI is a very broad term that covers everything from highly specialized systems to the type of advanced, adaptable intelligence that we often imagine. Think of it like the term ‘plants,’ which includes everything from grass to towering redwoods - each different, but all fitting within the same category.

Third, it would need free will.

I strongly disagree there. I argue that not even humans have free will, yet we’re generally intelligent so I don’t see why AGI would need it either. In fact, I don’t even know what true free will would look like. There are only two reasons why anyone does anything: either you want to or you have to. There’s obviously no freedom in having to do something but you can’t choose your wants and not-wants either. You helplessly have the beliefs and preferences that you do. You didn’t choose them and you can’t choose to not have them either.

Well clearly. Anywhere else in the world the title would just say that a police officer shot a person during a traffic stop.

Better get off the internet then if porn and violence is too much to handle.

Doing the scanning on-device doesn’t mean that the findings cannot be reported further. I don’t want others going thru my private stuff without asking - not even machine learning.

…so? As far as I know, the prices are up due to all the bird flu cases which to my understanding has nothing to do with trump.

Why does it feel like I’m reading articles about egg prices virtually every day. I don’t get why anyone cares this much.

so you can just move on

Oh, you’re highly underestimating my capability to get stuck in the little things

Maybe this is one of those autism things again but I’m really annoyed by this headline format and I wish articles would stop using it.

I don’t have a boss, nor an office job. Stop assuming that everyone does.

They were asking about planes.
