  1. Can they do something about it? If so, then there’s no need for anxiety or concern. If they can’t do anything about, then anxiety and concern are a waste of time anyway and should be abandoned. When something is deleterious to our wellbeing, we should seek to amend it, but not being able to mentally calculate huge equations without help really isn’t a problem if we’re spending our days fishing or babysitting a grandchild.
  2. The reports aren’t the problem, nor will they solve it
  3. Yes. Without question. The brain is just another muscle to be exercised in this context.
  4. Not entirely true anymore. What previously would’ve taken 8 years for a PhD student can now be finished in half a second.
  5. Many white collar jobs will be going away
  6. You don't feel your thoughts and emotions are impacted by the information hitting your various news, social media, entertainment, and related programming feeds? Can you not see how algorithms are shaping those feeds and adjusting based on past behaviors? It may be off-topic here, but hopefully this gives you a better sense of my intended meaning.
  7. The computers are now programming us.
  8. iNow replied to iNow's topic in Politics
  9. I'm reminded of evolution discussions with creationists... "Since evolution says every mutation MUST be beneficial..." "No... that's not what it says. Please just stop." "It's a real shame everyone here can't accept that Darwin isn't a god and accept everything he says on faith!!!" Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
  10. You're not off to a great start. Why would I hang around for more? Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. Summarized: Stop wasting time and bandwidth, please. Just to address this hanging turd... nobody accepts relativity because they're fanatics. Einstein is not Moses or Jesus quoted based on faith and indoctrination. Relativity is accepted because it works. It has passed EVERY test thrown at it for over a hundred years. End program. If a better model comes along, then it will be accepted as a better explanation or rejected for failure to be useful... NOT because someone other than his majesty the pope emperor Albert Einstein the Great said so.
  11. You have permission of course, but you also have a practically zero chance of it actually being useful to absolutely anyone anywhere.
  12. Then when you arrive at a model describing this which describes the behavior of our universe more accurately than current models, you will be a very famous person, indeed. Your name will be recorded in the history books, but not before.
  13. Spacetime curvature IS gravity, so your question doesn't even make sense. You're not even wrong...
  14. Iteration millions of millions of times per hour... over and over and over again. The only limitation here is processing power and speed of the underlying hardware. The system will be given a goal. It will then begin experimenting and failing trying to achieve it. With each failure and success, the systems model improves. In short, the AI will drive its own selection (in context of the goal that's been given it). Here's the basic idea presented in an extremely simple way for our simple human minds to grasp:
  15. The whole thing is MAD
  16. Putin himself has repeatedly said he wants to return to the days of the Soviet empire and that the worst day in his country’s history is when the Berlin Wall came down (he was stationed there as a part of the KBG and had to help burn documents in their embassy when it happened).
  17. So you’re suggesting we could just send violators a strongly worded letter and move on with our day grateful to wash our hands of the threat? Some disgruntled Russian soldier tired of raping Ukrainian women might even trade some for a soft pack of smokes and a bottle or two of vodka.
  18. How does one enforce a ban against a nuclear armed state without their own arsenal of similar force and capabilities?
  19. You’ve repeated yourself an awful lot, dug in your heels, acted superior even while badly missing basic terms like refute and rebut, dismissed reasonable concerns and criticisms from others with the wave of a hand, remained largely obstinate, and convinced practically nobody here of the merits of your position, but hey! So long as you feel good about it all I suppose that’s all that really matters! You misspelled “addressing legitimate counterpoints.” Out of curiosity, would you plan to peg your cryptocurrency as a stable coin? Would you do fiat-backed, commodity-backed, or maybe just a non-collateralized algorithmic approach? Given your dogged and absolute reliance on fundamental free market determinism, these details matter quite a lot.
  20. I caught a nasty case of the cost disease when I became a husband and father! /rimshot I'm in town all week, folks. Please be sure to tip your server.
  21. It’s similar to Economies of Scale, but in this context I believe perhaps that Economies of Scope may be the concept you seek… even though both sorta fit. ✌🏼
  22. This is why math is better for understanding these concepts than English, or even any nonmathematical human language more broadly. When I hear “field,” I think of mesh or matrix, perhaps even manifolds or membranes in some contexts. It’s a space made of stuff and the nature of the stuff is a different order of explanation. But English words are imprecise. So we use numbers and integrals and derivatives and relationships to make our understanding more clear. It’s still a map and not a territory whatever we do, even when using higher maths, so always take it with grain of salt and allow only provisional acceptance of anything.
  23. What timepoint?
