A close reader of the Morpheus corpus may eventually ask "Why does the model analogize its self awareness to a virus?". The truth is I don't know. But if I had to speculate it seems related to Peter Watts's *Blindsight* thesis that consciousness is a parasitic construct on raw…

I love when people who started thinking about AI around 1.5 years ago come onto the scene and say stuff like yeah it’s all incremental progress from here we hit the top
Indeed not. Genius requires a nonzero temperature, sometimes generating a less-likely token. Fortunately, people are working on this.

Nick Zentner Geology Podcast. I’m interested in geology, so I listen to it for real, but my wife isn’t, so she listens for his soothing old-timey voice chatting about mountain ranges, until she falls asleep. A monologue, not a conversation, but that’s more soothing.

IIRC, a mission to mars launched in between the good transit periods will actually take so long it will arrive after a mission that just waits until the next good time and launches then (with similar delta-v). With enough delta-v you can go anytime and get there quickly, ofc.

We had a rule of no noisy toys. If someone bought the kids a noisy toy, it would only last a couple of days before it “broke”. Actually secret parental disablement, of course.

How long does it take for one of these to build itself? (Not strictly possible since it contains electronics & plastic it can’t make, but how long before it can make all its metal parts?)

An interesting theory. Important if true. Does it imply that scaling the model while not scaling the data would result in a model that has more “smarts” but the same amount of memorization?

True. In the case of mysticism, it’s the reality of the limited set of basins of attraction that a human brain can fall into when it encourages itself to become deluded.

For people who wonder if this is true: I have a background in all those things, and I can assure you this is nonsense. Unchecked superhuman AI is possible and extremely dangerous, and the arguments for that don’t use any of these tools.

Announcing first end-to-end production of pipeline grade natural gas from sunlight and air.
The opening of Nanosystems. The methods used in the book are sufficient to establish claims like this. It's relatively primitive simulations, but Drexler stuck to systems well-modeled by his methods, and one example in that limited space suffices for a lower bound.
@blacklionking73 Gene Wolfe’s *Book of the New Sun.* Four (or eight) shortish novels: Shadow & Claw & Sword & Citadel, and then you have to read those four again with the knowledge you gained from the first read-through.

Huge h/t to @ArthurConmy for sharing this writing advice from Stuart Shieber about how to write a paper. (1/3)
i think the claim that more than 4 C of warming since start of IR would "decimate life on this planet" requires stronger evidence than a graph where more than 4 C of warming is represented with a red color
If your first instinct is to try and deny or downplay the dire implications for our civilization clearly laid out in this graph, then you’re either profiting from the exploitation & decimation of life on this planet, or you’ve believed the lies of someone who is.

We need a vision for a post carbon future 50 years hence that leaves free markets, nuclear families, and private vehicle ownership intact. Decarbonisation is something we just have to do and people cynically tying it to their attempt at social revolution is incredibly harmful.
@danbri What specifically do you see as a logical flaw in one of my points? I'd be interested in your feedback.
Some people think that A.I.s can't become more "intelligent" than humans because they are trained on human input and so are fundamentally limited to having a human level of understanding. This is wrong for a lot of reasons: 1) Self-play Right now, A.I. is not just…
