>You might want to stop a rogue AI but you can bet there will be someone else who thinks it will make them rich, or powerful, or they just want to see the world burn.

What makes you think they will not be stopped? This one guy needs a dedicated power plant, an entire data centre, and need to source all the components and materials to build it. Again. Heavy reliance on logistics and supply chain. He can't possibly control all of those, and disrupting just a few (which would be easy) will inevitably prevent him and his AI progressing any further. At best, he'd be a mad king and his machine pet trapped in a castle, surrounded by a world that is turned against him. His days would be almost certainly numbered.

Lot of doomers gloss over the fact that AI is bounded by the laws of physics, raw resources, energy and the monumental cost of reproducing them.

Humans can reproduce by simply having sex, eating food and drinking water. AI can reproduce by first mining resources, refining said resources, building another Shenzhen, then rolling out another fab at the same scale of TSMC. That is assuming the AI wants control over the entire process. This kind of logistics requires cooperation of an entire civilisation. Any attempt by an AI could be trivially stopped because of the large scope of the infrastructure required.

That pre-dates IT revolution. I seen Hungarians using quite a lot of loanwords too.

In addition to what the other commenter said, the art depicted on the article is flattened, whereas the original piece was wrapping around the woman's forearm. Perhaps the art is visually grounded on a curved surface.

If I remember correctly, that time point in those double episodes was a turning point in Start Trek lore that changed Earth's history for the better.

Yeah good catch. I see those light the same way.

"Seeing" starts pretty much at the retina level and along the optic nerve. Lots of signal processing and data compression going on there. I wouldn't be surprised if hallucinogens affect those areas as well.

As the circle was about to disappear, the blue-green was super saturated for me and persisted for a good minute if I kept locking onto the white dot. Another thing you can do, is at night time (lights off) look at the red circle like before, and when the timer runs out close your eyes and keep it dark. You will see blue-green glow very strongly.

That is a self-contradictory statement. If people were not motivated by financial gain, then bribery would not exist. You could say people might be motivated by power and influence, but even those things boil down to one singular thing, and that is accumulating wealth.

>progress their career

i.e. money

I consider myself being self-taught, but I'm also a graduate. I was teaching myself to do a lot of things before I even went to university, and continue to do so after graduating. The most significant difference before and after university is that now I'm more resourceful and more efficient in searching information that keeps me learning new things outside of academia. Put simply, university gave me better skills to learn, and opened new doors to resource materials i didn't know existed before.

>Italy doesn't really care about copyright violations, unless it's soccer or if it's for profit.

I'm almost certain someone got paid off and pulled some stings. They don't do anything unless money is involved.

Compulsory voting kinda solves some of these problems.

The rotating mass drags space time around it, called frame dragging, which is different from gravitational waves. Gravitational waves consists of oscillations, which is caused by change of mass, wobbling of spinning objects, or several masses orbiting around a barycentre.

Not exactly a bad thing in my books.

Here's the thing, one can promote tourism while also being academically honest. Hawass just wants to be the top dog in the field and does not want to be wrong about some of the things he claimed in his publications.

>The lack of any Egyptian archeologists on most interesting and significant findings about Ancient Egypt is one.

It seems like Egyptian archaeologists is a clique of academics that do not like to rock the apple cart and go against established ideas about Egyptian history. There is a lot of gate keeping going on, mostly in part of Zahi Hawass, a narcissist that likes to self insert into every research into the subject, and control publication of results, etc. Even worse, claim attribution for work he's not even part of. So, if you don't kiss the ring, or dare to challenge ideas without his blessing, you'll be pretty much become a pariah that will never access archaeological sites again. Because of this, research in the field seems to be stagnant.

Nonsense. Every house built in Victoria has an accessible hatch to the roof space. The hatches are not sealed either, it's just a lid resting over the opening, which can be pushed upward. Some have hinges, etc.

These stages are part of a spectrum. There is no hard boundaries.

I don't have a problem with reauth if the action(s) in question requires a sudo-like operation with a time-out window. It's just a matter of grouping such actions together in manner that requires the least amount of reauth prompts.

So she is an arsehole for exposing bullshit? I don't see the problem. I think people take issue with her because of her confrontational persona.

>while she can identify the problem she's not part of the solution

Does she have to be, in principle?

> Her divorce from academia means she has little power to affect change for the better given how the incentives are currently aligned.

Wouldn't be so sure about that. She is getting more public exposure than most academic would in their lifetime. More importantly, exposure to audience _outside_ of academia. Voters. Her effort in creating public awareness has certainly stirred the nest in some academic circles.

No disrespect to Korean people, but as an outsider, this kind of gymnastics for establishing a time point for something seems really absurd to me.

Sabine Hossenfelder has a few comments on this topic in her YT channel.

We deal with that by abstraction and top-down compartmentalisation of complex systems. I mean look at the machines we build. Trying to understand the entire thing holistically is impossible thing for a human mind, but we can divide and conquer the problem, where each component is understood in isolation.

>If you want to be smarter then increase your processing diversity, not capacity.

And efficiency. Some of this is achieved by having dedicated and optimal circuits for a particular type of signal processing.

>AI need the physicality.

which i found interesting, because i remember Carmack saying simulated environments are way forward and physical environments are too impractical for developing AI

why do people hate on signal?
