The potential consequences of a truth have bearing neither on its validity nor its veracity.

For those who enjoy an occasional podcast, here’s one presenting the case against free will, from the perspective of a hard determinist / hard incompatiblist: https://megaphone.link/VMP2999354780

Proof is for math. You’re right, there is no proof in science. Just evidence. Lots and lots of evidence, and a willingness to update our models when the old ones prove to be faulty.

Perhaps more accurate is their view that, “government is the problem, and we’re going to use our elected positions to prove it!”

I didn’t realize causality was a vector quantity.

Years of stimulus and reward events reinforce growth patterns and pruning of plastic cells and dendritic connections on a substrate itself configured loosely through evolution.

Number Five: Open Ring app and tell them to go away from my phone without even getting up from my chair

500 OpenAI employees have signed a letter saying they too will resign unless the board of directors is replaced or their decision to oust Altman is reversed.

I think it’s wasting my time

Uhm. Yawn. Ok. Give different prompts get different answers. Discussion point?

The board says he was moving too fast, that this decision was about safety and him not going slowly enough to deal with the risks posed byAI. Then, last night Microsoft (openAIs largest funder dumping in $13B already) announced they’ve hired him and former OpenAI President Greg Brockman to work on their AI efforts directly.

The future is already here. It just isn’t evenly distributed.

The problem is we live in a sea of information and noise, and most of it is being shaped to help you avoid seeing the important bits. Too many people are telling too many half true stories, then too many others are adding too many new narratives of their own into the other half.

lol. Well played

Isn’t the answer here obvious, though, that you cannot possibly be anything else without invoking spirits and similar supernatural forces?

So is this 😉

Lol. Not a thing!

The system is fundamentally built on trust, trust that those in positions of authority will enforce the rules appropriately and fairly. However, by installing corrupt allies and folks with a personal interest in disregarding rules and norms into those aforementioned positions of power, then votes and rules no longer much matter. This is why Mike Pence’s stance of not rejecting electors from the various states in 2020 was such a big deal and such a crucial lynchpin in stitching together the reality we currently share and experience. We can argue, for example, about the best stratagems and series of moves to win the game of chess before us, but when our opponent chooses to drill holes through the board, set it on fire, and introduce magical dragons and wizards as game pieces, then we must fundamentally rethink our best path forward and acknowledge that it no longer much matters whether we decide to move to Queens Rook 7 or Kings Bishop 4.

Neurochemistry and physiology. If you want better answers, you must learn to ask better questions.
