This whole argument hinges on consciousness being easier to produce than to fake intelligence to humans.

Humans already anthropomorphise everything, so I'm leaning towards the latter being easier.

The key word here is "seems".

Orders of magnitude of differece between the most complex known object in the universe and some clever statistical analysis.

We understand very little about the human brain. For example, we don't know if it leverages quantum interactions or whether it can be decoupled from its substrate.

LLMs are pattern matching models loosly based on the structure of neurons that work well for deriving predictions from a vast body of data but are not anywhere near human brain level of understanding. I personally don't think they will ever be until we have solved the hard problem of conciousness.

I have a theory... They are sophisticated auto-complete.

This is a variation of the famous Ship of Theseus thought experiment.

*7 years earlier than the recently revised predictions YAY.

+1 for the S23.

I've been a Nexus/Pixel fan since the beginning but performance/battery is much better now the Samsungs have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in them.

Camera is decent (marginally worse than Pixel for stills but better for video) and OneUI is far much more customisable and less obtuse than it was in the past.

Apologies, busy day, saw headline, made joke about our awful PM.

Pretty insensitive now I've seen someone died in the incident.

Just flog it to the UK for a few million. Rishi's probably already looking into the possibility of housing migrants on it.

Same, what's stranger is the volume of downvotes people receive from criticising it either here or previously at the other place.

The concepts were pretty standard multiverse stuff but they kept trying to shoehorn some kind of overly ambitious meaning into it. I found the juxtaposition between "literally anything can happen" and "family love crosses dimensions" particularly difficult to swallow.

Decent special effects on a tight budget though.

Some of us value humanity itself, marvel at our technological achievements and hope that one day our species will stop it's petty infighting and venture out to the stars.

Don't tell me I have no stake in the future, I am way more concerned with it that any of my childbearing friends or family.

Equating nuclear apocalypse to the climate emergency is so strange. One requires a whole chain of command to decide that their friends, family and everything they've ever believed should be destroyed, the other is the default scenario.

Details really do matter. War, nuclear war and political turmoil are all very different scenarios. Climate change will likely have more severe consequences for humanity than every war ever fought.

To counter the "doomer" (scientific) point of view you'd have to point to some feasible solutions like banning CFCs to fix the hole in the ozone. We have one, stop or severley reduce all greenhouse gas emissions, and it's not being acted upon.

Instead we've decided to keep pumping an ever increasing amount into the atmosphere each day and as a result are currently on course for 8-10°C of warming. For context the largest extinction event in Earth's history which resulted in so much death it stained the geological records happened during a temperature rise of about 8°C.

Ok thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I agree, bottom navigation bar is a great addition too.

This is a blatantly pointless reply.

It's a made up definition which varies depending on whose fairytales you believe.

Yep has happened twice to me today.

Would be great if that could be replaced with the downvote action. Would make it easier to undo.

I would downvote you for false information but I can't.

Joking, cheers for confirming it's not just me going mad.

PBS Space Time and Stand-up Maths are two of my favourites.

Now do climate change.
