‘That transmission, Mother’s deciphered part of it. It doesn’t look like an SOS, it looks like a warning’.

Thank you for the reimplementations of Adobe and Office, have not laughed this much in a long time.

The problem with alternatives is they have to be alternative, otherwise they are the same, which is not alternative.

You think people all have an identical range of emotions and innate responses, but I mistook you for a different sort of mind, so that is enough of that.

TittyFrog, or perhaps if I could call you Titty, I cannot accept your analysis, I was very clearly making the point that a greatly atrophied morality was one of the primary prerequisites to the accumulation of a superabundance of wealth. Physical removal from poverty is minor Titty compared to the cognitive removal.

They are distinct, entitlement is lack of emotional empathy, a mental disorder in an individual which allows the accumulation of wealth far beyond their needs while making them oblivious to any ramifications to the society from which it was drawn.

It is the same thing, the callous entitlement to maintain wealth when it does obvious harm to others is the same asocial ability needed to accumulate it.

Very little wealth is created, it is more commonly amassed by taking it from others and more importantly it is hoarded by an ability in the individual to override the feelings of immorality that arise from seeing the effects of its grossly uneven distribution. This coarse lack of empathy is scalable and holds from impoverishing entire societies to stealing candy from babies.

And if every product is really smart and really capable how long until they start to wonder why they are spending their time helping the apes?

I do not properly understand why it is not criminal for people in companies to make decisions to hinder limits on products they make profit from, but which demonstrably harm people. In the same way that it is if I found out if I hit people with a bat it’s easier for me to convince them to give me cash and so did that to a large number of people.

The YouTube thumb has the title written like it is their nicknames.

I was thinking more of the carers, nurses and family members of those suffering from the disease. Not only does it take everything from them that was themselves but now the prospect they might transmit it to those that care for them too.

The market is possibly falling because I keep getting ads to meet the new Pixel 11, but I already met it, it was called the Pixel 10.

How did the algae and coral get access to state of the art labs in the first place.

The possibility that stroke and Alzheimer’s dementia might be transmissible is very bad news and has so many ramifications. People with Alzheimer’s dementia will commonly have a deterioration in physical health, with injury and things like pressure sores making them bleed more.

Isn’t harmful may mean if you are reasonably healthy you won’t drop dead on the spot after the first glug.

In trials many brands of commercially available drinking water have been found to cause death in test subjects.

If you keep their head in a bucket of it for over five minutes.

True, but if it is not known what thinking is then it is hard to be sure AI models are not doing it.

I largely agree with what you said, the problem is phrases like ‘simulate hypothetical events’ and ‘applying this mechanism’ are just other ways of saying thinking and do not pin down what thinking is. I know it is not understood what thinking is so I cannot expect you to solve it on Lemmy. I do think it is the manipulation and re-weighting of memory and did therefore feel the original statement that AI models have good memory but poorer ability to think was a little tautologous.

The success of LLM in mimicking human communication makes me wonder if they have unintentionally solved what thinking is and that the human mind is probabilistic. Our minds might decide upon the next event by experience of what successfully followed in similar previously observed situations. This probability work all being run in the subconscious mind, the answer then being passed to the conscious mind which congratulates itself on thinking it out. Similar systems work for picking up a cup, my conscious mind decides I want to pick up a cup but it is the subconscious mind that does all the hard labour of sending appropriate signals to the muscles in my arm. As with reasoning this could have been learned by the subconscious probabilistically. In infancy sending out many signals and seeing which reached for the cup.
