I should be out in the woods crawling already.

I don’t think that even humans have free will as in the ability to have acted otherwise and I don’t think AI would be any different. They too are bound by determinism exactly the same way. This isn’t even particularly controversial thing to say in a scientific context these days.

Every human action is a response to a prompt in a very similar way that it is for LLMs. We simply identify with that prompt because it arises in our own mind despite us clearly not authoring any of it. Nobody is able to pick their likes and dislikes and how bumping into these things in the world makes us behave. Anything anyone does follows from prior events and our genetic makeup. No action is taken in a vacuum.

If anything I see LLMs as a massive mirror being lifted in front of us. There’s very few things people criticize AI for that don’t just as well apply to humans. The ungrounded overconfidence in which they make claims about it is a great example.

Yes. I regularly leave a 30+ minute video playing on the background as I fall a sleep partly for this reason.

That’s a picture of the glowing plasma orbiting right outside the event horizon and the black hole’s shadow in the centre - not a picture of the black hole itself.

Nobody has ever seen a black hole. The pictures we have aren’t of the black hole itself.

More likely for children to play in. A tent gets very hot in the sun - even more so than an apartment.

Here’s so far the best seasoning method for cast iron that I’ve found after having tried multiple ones and not having too great of a success. It can’t be overstated how important it is to remove all excess oil. It doesn’t take much to ruin the results.

• Wash with soap and hot water.
• Dry thoroughly.
• Immediately into a 100 degrees C oven for 20 minutes.
• Heavy coat of oil. Canola oil works fine.
• Wipe ALL of it off. First with a cloth, then with a paper towel.
• Put back into the oven and let it warm up to 150 degrees C. Then take out and wipe with a paper towel once more.
• Back into the oven and let it heat up and bake at 250 degrees C for an hour.
• Let it fully cool before next layer.
• For the first treatment, at least 3 layers are needed. Five is even better.

Cast iron lasts multiple lifetimes and only gets better as it’s being used so it’s not really even a competition in my books. It has its downsides but at least I’m not replacing it every 5 years or so.

Why wouldn’t this be safe? If left unmaintained nature will reclaim this in few years.

The difference is intentions. The intentions of a terrorist attack is to cause terror in the civilian population.

Boo-fucking-hoo. There’s tens of thousands of kilometers of overgrown shoreline like that in Finland.

Recreational outrage.

I don’t think it matters. The rest of the world has already learned that the US can only be trusted for four years at a time at best.

It’s not like people are going to start trusting Russia either once Putin is gone.

Why? What difference does it make if they’re talking to someone face to face compared to it being via video call?

That doesn’t answer the question “what is intelligence” no more than a thermometer explains what is heat energy.

you low IQ low T soy boy

I wasn’t expecting you to start insulting me over a disagreement. You could’ve made your point without going there. I genuinely have no idea what you hoped to achieve with that.

Not really for as long as people engaging in the comments were real people. Though, then again, if they all were bots too but I didn’t know and couldn’t tell, then I’m not sure what the harm there even would be. If anything, I’d only expect the engagement to be more civil.

Take the test on a different day, or sleep more beforehand, or do a different test, and your IQ will change.

Not as much as people think. We’re talking around 5 points of difference - 10 at max. Broadly speaking, the results of a well-designed test are highly consistent over a long period of time as long as it’s measured under similar conditions. It’s among the most repeatable tests in all of psychology.

IQ doesn’t measure intelligence

We don’t even have agreed upon definition for intelligence so that seems like a weird claim to make.

• The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
• the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
• the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
• the act of understanding
• the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason
• It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

IQ tests are one of the most well-validated and predictive tools in all of psychology for measuring general cognitive ability, and they predict important life outcomes better than almost anything else in psychology. Feeling discomfort about the results doesn’t invalidate the test itself.
