I've been fascinated by philosophy of mind for decades. I've read lots of books. Also have done lots of meditation. I have some pretty strong views, but it never was an issue because up until about a year ago, it was a niche area that few people thought or cared about.

If you put an object into a laundry basket, that object becomes laundry. We all know this. No one knows whether taking the object out of the laundry basket returns the object to its non-laundry status, or if, like radioactivity, laundrification has a half-life we don't understand and can't measure.

First time catching a sunset in a squirrel eye. Might make this a thing.

At a bare minimum people should distinguish between making an artificial being that has feelings, makes decisions etc. (SciFi) and Real Existing AI, which is computer science

They're fooled themselves they might get machine consciousness "ahead of schedule" yes, and also it would be 'without even trying' as there's not one line of code in current AIs that's there to implement phenomenal consciousness, let alone the physical engineering that's probably required.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

there's an old joke philosophers like (read: not funny) about someone getting objections from philosophers and going 'you have misunderstood my view; i intended my view to not be susceptible to any objections'

I'm maybe seven years old; the headmaster calls the primary school to assembly, delivers a drunken monologue on regret about the wife who'd recently left him, and puts on Yesterday by The Beatles. Great song! But even at that age, I knew how horribly weird it all was. He was replaced soon after.

The Moon shaped a lot of life on Earth, including holidays (like Yom Kippur) anchored to the lunar calendar. But moons are delicate things. We managed to keep ours. Venus may have eaten its moon. One more way it lost out... 🧪🔭 news.ucr.edu/articles/202...

Scientists have long speculated why Venus, with a similar size, mass, and structure to Earth, doesn’t have a moon. New UC Riverside research shows it’s because our hungry twin likely swallowed it.

She’s right. Billions of computations to output just a single token. Then the whole process is repeated to produce another token, and so on. Biological systems, on the other hand, employ continuous processes that operate in real time using a tiny fraction of the energy. #LLMs #GenAI
