Re: Investments Trade Log

Take any resources as an example that this technology growth story needs. Suppose the never ending demand for lithium or computer chips. A 7% growth rate would mean the demand for these resources doubles every 10 years. A 16% growth rate would be a quadrupling of a resource after 10 years. 32% woul...

That's where increasing the channel capacity between brains and computers comes in. :)

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

Though if you have two researchers that both understand what a tree is and are trying to understand the forest, then the researcher that collaborates with machine to account for more trees will get a better view of the forest. I suspect this to be much more relevant in biology and sociology than in ...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

I suspect researchers at any level that are not integrating AI into their workflow are becoming dinosaurs except in exceptional cases. Remember that AI is a much broader category than chatbots. The creative spark is essential but tends to get bogged down in the memorization of facts and trivial calc...

Re: Smashter's Great Adventure

The space of all possible responses or essays is huge, the majority of which we would find gibberish. What these models train on is a small fraction of what is possible. This training attempts to capture the low-entropy sea of order and predictability. The water we swim in. [High] entropic pockets a...

Re: Metacrisis and AI Hyperweapon

Stone age hunters did not know the physics of their weapons, but they continued refining causal variables for success. (If they did know those first principles, they would likely have been more successful, as they could have eliminated the spurious causal links, and nuanced the effective ones) Was ...

Re: Metacrisis and AI Hyperweapon

You may very well be right. I don't know if AI should be accelerated or decelerated but either way will have consequences good and bad for humans. Fast take off of AGI into ASI could spell the end of humanity. On the other hand, grinding AI to a halt may stagnate the global economy and leave us with...

Re: Smashter's Great Adventure

Opus doesn't have access to any data beyond august 2023 (it will tell you if you ask it). Real-time updating is a feature the creators of these models are working towards. I have had about a hundred conversations now with various models and see them like an arc of opening and closing entropic pocket...

I have read everything as you have written but now it is all hazy and jumbled. It seems like you are limiting your world to ERE people.

A chat with Claude

Here is a chat I had with Claude 3 opus. I am finding it quite helpful for research and would recommend for conceptual work and education purposes. I didn't really have a goal in mind with this chat but started with comparing Michael Levin and John Vervaeke's work. From here I continued on to create...

Re: Mastermind Group #2: Electric Boogaloo

Books and other materials help with defining and contextualizing the system. Note that there are really several related systems that roughly all point in the same direction. Some having more moving parts than others. To really embrace these systems, try to imagine yourself as an anthropologist in ev...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

There is no system that makes us this way, there is no direction that evolution points us. Though if you stop here then you explain nothing about where we have been and might be headed. Evolution is random at the level of genetic mutation but there are other ways to look at what an organism is. The...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

Evolution happens; Involution deals with what happens as it unfolds through goal alignment. An external view of an embodied creature reveals no goals but may tell a story of how the creature became what it is. An internal view of an embodied creature reveals goals through rationality which can be de...

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective

I was coming at it more from the perspective of a deal with an agency to find the skilled people you are talking about. The agencies I am thinking of link up skilled people that do not work in the traditional corporate environment with companies that require skilled labor on a project-by-project bas...

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Just curious about your thoughts and attempting to help. There seems to be a tension between big ambitions for mods of mods, etc. and staying small.

I believe a video game that included elements similar to those found in polyamory could be quite popular with females.

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective

I wouldn't even know where to start. Perhaps making a deal with a staffing agency could get the ball rolling? The staffing industry has had a hard time matching supply to demand but software in this industry is maturing.

Re: Gaming/virtual economies (EVE online)

Right, so by default civilization collapses in on itself fighting over natural resources. Though if virtual resources are always expanding then maybe comparative advantage keeps competitive advantage in check for a while. No barbarians at the gate. In other words, give the wannabe conquerors some se...
