"sedentary lifestyles" is certainly the sort of thing that can be influenced in the manner I suggested (traditional cultural roles being championed or subverted). I don't see why dietary choices shouldn't be either.
I'm guessing its being hugged now - it says generate in under a minute but my short is taking ten minutes and counting; anyway I like the simplicity and am interested in seeing the results - though I do think it is quite depressing as we will see this sort of service mostly put to use for slop.
Consider the difference between capabilities when gpt3 was released and now - the "increasingly babysitting" is exactly right.
Knowing how to code (and more generally software engineering and other roles in software teams) is definitely still extremely useful, but is rapidly becoming less vital as a human-provided skill as models and harnesses greedily hoover up the knowledge margin.
I'm not saying brains are the only way to produce consciousness, just that the evidence shows that they are the way animals do here on Earth.
On some views, the brain may be a particularly complex organisation, localisation, or exemplar of consciousness, rather than its ultimate origin. That would include any brains here on earth.
It is extremely unlikely that there is something else involved.
Well, that's clearly a view to be expected of a hardcore physicalist like Carroll but the quoted text seems somewhat circular as it insists on a framework that seems not to really get to grips with the Hard Problem.
I agree with others this seems somewhat over-engineered; you can get similar results with a good prompt/skill; I guess the rest of the implementation here is intended as an agent-maintainer.
where does it say that? its not available to me (also annual) at the moment via cloud but it said it is rolling out gradually, so I'm not too concerned. Tho I'm not overly excited either given Copilot pricing now; I reckon this should be at most 1x.
I predict this won't last long in any extreme version in any significant open source repo.
Banning AI-slop is one thing, but AI as a properly used co-programmer is becoming more and more capable and shutting out well-guided AI will enable competitors who don't to edge and then power ahead.
There are obviously problems to solve here, but blanket bans (while understandable in under-resourced maintenance environments) aren't anything more than a short-term buffer.
It's a HN thing, not down to the commenter. Sometimes threads are reactivated if the mods think a low profile discussion is worth a second chance or boost. The submission time doesn't always reflect the original submission. Sometimes it's due to a comment move or thread merge.
it's bad faith to choose a fringe definition that hands off its definition to such a nebulous term.
I do not think it is at all unreasonable or "fringe" to regard understanding as involving intentionality: ie a directedness of thought toward the object-relations being "grasped". That may not be the only possible conception of understanding but it is a mainstream philosophical idea.
In fact, I'd argue that statements about what "is" and "is not" sentient relies on even more spirituality and word games for anything that isn't a terran tetrapod.
Then you seem to be confusing "hard to understand" with "meaningless".
you're just expressing dogma rather than having a discussion.
Anything else is bad faith, or assuming bad faith on the part of the participants
Have a think about that (repeated) tone before responding.
Fwiw I am a long-time believer in consciousness being fully realisable in machines; I think the jury is still out on LLMs.
