Can you please define exactly what biological intelligence is, and how it’s uniquely linked to logic and innovation?

No, bad science would pretending that just because you don’t understand two different things, they are likely the same thing. Despite what you may believe, these algorithms are not some mystery that we know nothing about. We have a good understanding of why they work, and we know more than enough about them to know that they have nothing to do with biological intelligence.

I can't speak from experience here, but pretty sure quickly wearing the battery down is only half the puzzle. 5-10 years of exposure to summer heat and moreso freezing cold in winters will do a lot more damage to the battery. Granted if you live somewhere where it never gets below 5C or above 30C maybe the wear from exposure to elements would be much more controlled. Similarly if you always parked the car in a warm climate controlled area it would likely be fine, but that's not realistic

So the current mines are at 100% theoretical capacity and there's no more places in the globe that could be used to open new mines, and you're saying in spite of the constantly growing demand over the last couple decades, nations across the globe haven't been looking for economical sources to open new mines? I don't know much about the industry, but that sounds pretty unlikely to me, though besides child labor horrors, the only info I can find on new mines is that the US just opened it's first one in 2022

This is a problem or theory that addresses the issue at possibly better lengths.
Additionally, I believe recommend to most people who are interested in AI to read the Fourth Age, which is a philosophy book targeted at ai. It explains it in a nice and easier to read concept about what it is to be truly AGI and the steps we’ve made so far and will need to make.
Quick Edit: I also don’t think youre wrong, what this AI is saying it wouldn’t be able to explain but it’s learned to take the code behind it and spit out something akin to human language, no matter how garbled or incoherent that is to the machine behind it doesn’t care, as long as it suits it’s learning.

It has long been known that neural nets are universal function approximators, even a single layer can approximate any function with enough data/parameters. But in practice there is a huge gap between knowing that eventually it will approximate some function and actually getting a particular system to converge on the useful function given a set of data in a reasonable amount of time (or for a reasonable enough cost).

I mean if you know how it works it isn't surprising at all really..
I find the fact that it's a basic functionality for a computer irrelevant.

Gotcha.
IANE, but I assumed that the combination of the four things mentioned above, including matrix multiplication - would be turing complete - and I thought that anything that is turing complete could absolutely be expected to scale to produce anything desired.
I almost half expected to find that matrix multiplication alone was already known to be turing complete. I see at least one reference to that possibility in a discussion on ycombinator.

Yeah. The hivemind strikes again. It's funny when you stand back and look at it. The further assertion is that 26% of Instacart's business is disabled people, which is patently ridiculous. But the hivemind will do what the hivemind will do.

You are either not, or a bad scientist. You’re just describing bad science.

Maybe do a bit of research on how all of your points don’t hold up to reality. There is exactly a 0% chance that ICE cars are “the best way forward.” The reason they’ve been used is that you don’t have to pay the full cost of transport, deferring that onto later generations.
EVs are also far more carbon efficient even when powered by coal, that argument is nonsensical.
This is a ban on new sales, maybe we’ll be able to lift it someday when we’re 100% renewable and we can make efuels with the abundant extra energy output, but right now it’s an obvious gushing wound trying to kill us all.

I am literally a scientist who works on ML algs for a living. Stop trying to philosophize yourself way into believing what you want to. Just because YOU don’t understand it doesn’t mean you can wave your hands and act like two different things are the same.

Lmao, this is how you can tell this sub is populated by javascript devs and not scientists
You can’t claim it’s fundamentally incapable of that, because we don’t know what makes something capable of that or not.
We can’t prove it one way or another. So, we say “we don’t know if it is or isn’t” until we can.

I don't work at FAANG but does seem there is a lot of people who don't really have to do much to keep their jobs. Massive companies make it easy to hide.

Efficiency is achieved through motivation (personal stake) and positive incentives…or through automation, take your pick.

are you actually interested in learning something, or are you just trying to play stupid semantic games?
