Limited tests in specific settings are always surprising and do speak to it's use, but are not a testament to it being intelligent.

I replied because you answered "you're doing it wrong" to a question of it's failures. It seems you dismiss the concerns of the smaller errors or failures without realizing the point being made. If it's "smart" enough to solve take international math medals and beat grand masters at go, but can't truly understand problems and anticipate needs or issues, to me it's not a genuine intelligence and in it's current form never will be.

It's not that they are not perfect, is that they have no concept of reality, and it's evident in their failures. Beyond this point I am not interested in trying to convince you.

I assumed you were talking about laws because the social default in places like the south of the US is definitely that visibly queer people should hide.

>But who is "they"?

The person you're replying to.

>What does it mean to be "on the same side as Rust"?

There is a stated and auctioned stance the rust foundation poses, and they are saying they align with that. At this point if you can see their point the communication fault is yours.

>Being on a side suggests an unwillingness to part ways

No it doesn't.

>If Rust is a worthy rock in the political sphere for the moment

I have to assume their politics is more intimate to them than the maintainers of a programming language, and that they used it here because the conversation we are having is around rust.

You seem to bring much more snark than substance.

They didn't imply it's a homogeneous blob, but if they have beliefs they state and enact one can agree with those.

A radio is fundamentally do thing the thing it claims. Artificial intelligence is fundamentally not intelligent.

I'm not saying it is useless tech, but no it's not my first paradigm shift, and that's why I can see the difference.

Again resorting to hyperbole...

So you can see why they put it in scare quotes. Just above your reply another says it's politically neutral to adopt whatever pronouns the speaker feels is valid, and not punish them for it. This is "neutral" in that it sides with the speaker regardless of who they are, but is clearly designed to allow bigots to misgender freely. That is the point, "neutral" is not so trivially defined, and often falls on the side of more conservative societal trends.

"Societal default" here doesn't explicitly mean laws.

Massive wealth inequality is a societal problem.

This one is a great read because it's true whether or not you value CEOs!

It isn't irrational if you frame it as people with power aligning with the choices that reward them with power.

Accountability does not end with the two people that caught with the most egregious of the crimes. It also extends into addressing the systems that lead to them torturing other people. If Israel was taking accountability for the crimes they've committed it would stop at two random soldiers. So to re-answer, honestly no, this doesn't not look like accountability to me.

I don't find this comparison fitting.

Do you have a non-hyperbole response?

Honestly, no. Throwing some particularly 'bad apples' under the bus doesn't equate to accountability.

Wouldn't an intelligent computer know to use tools? The core of the point being discussed seems to be why do you need to ask it to make it you inventory software when an intelligent system would know that when asked to build an inventory system setting up a database and logging all the information is need and ask agents to do that.

Sure, but your R&D infrastructure isn't going to be 1.5 trillion dollars.

The tendency to attribute consciousness to the quantum is one I find very grating. What makes the human brain any less mechanical if quantum mechanics dictate the firing of neurons rather than electrodynamics? Why does the wave nature of subatomic systems mean that an artificial tongue would suddenly be able to subjectively experience taste? It always reads to me as very wooy, and any amount of drilling leads to even more questions that seem to take the ideas further from reality.

I think the largest case for consciousness being a mechanical system is the fact that we can interface with it mechanically. We can introduce electricity, magnetic fields, chemicals, and scalpels to change the nature of peoples experience and consciousness. Why is the incredible complexity of our brains an insufficient answer and that a secret qbit microtube in each neuron is a more sound one?
