Engineers used a combination of labeled and unlabeled video data to teach their model how to swim, hunt, and even pillar jump. Then they came for our blocks, and I did nothing as I just can't figure out what that "game" is all about
"OpenAI shows a video of its model swimming, hunting, and cooking animals." Great, so now it knows how to hunt and cook when it becomes SkyNet.

‘Civil comments and criticisms welcome,’ wrote Sen. Lummis (R-WY) Can they rebase the US government and start over?
Bless her for trying at least
Edit: I guess that could read “all governments”, but there might be one out there worth keeping. I just don’t know about it.

Quote: “Digital assets, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have experienced tremendous growth in the past few years and offer substantial potential benefits if harnessed correctly,”
Definition:
"substantial potential benefits" - take all the fools for everything you can get!
'tremendous growth' hasn't really been a thing lately, as far as crypto is concerned, unless 'growth' is defined much differently, too...

Sentient ? [^]
i keep thinking this is a clever prank/fantasia cooked up by Google to get publicity. But, supposedly, an AI Engineer at Google, Lemoine, has been placed on paid leave for disclosing "conversations" with LaMDA, an artificial intelligence entity, who, he claims, is sentient.
If true (?), the sci-future is closer than we imagined ?
Well, you be the judge !
cheers, Bill

Hi, HTC,
A question: how do you tell when a person is faking awareness/sentience ?
Once upon a time (1977) bill was doing a post-grad fellowship at the NIMH's famous mental hospital, St. Elizabeth's.
In a staff meeting where a patient was being evaluated in terms of danger to the community if released ... one staff member said with conviction: "he's acting sanr to fool us."
Constraints on my health and time (how dare my body get old !) have meant rationing my CP time, no longer soaking up the latest/greatest really innovative probes of space-time boundaries by folks like you, and Marc Clifton. To savor the technical excellence of OriginalGriff, Richard McCutchen, Richard Deeming.
No longer time for the daily struggle to teach newbies to learn what the docs would tell them ... if they looked, if they knew how to look.
Well. as Heraclitus said: "panta rhei"

Hey, I was wondering where you were off to.
To answer your question I can't tell.
But that's not why I take the position I do.
The "transistors" in our brain are why I do.
The Human Brain Can Create Structures in Up to 11 Dimensions[^]
Our current discreet digital logic circuits are fundamentally limited to Linear Bounded Automata. The way our RAM works is too ... perspicuous almost? And the way it works is so different. Our brains learn math in a similar way as we learn to catch a ball. Our computers do not.
We don't have the capability using our current transistor setup to mimic an organic neural network. I personally don't think we'll achieve it on silicon either, but that's just me spitballing. It's not just a matter of efficiency either, but the way our memory works.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

Appreciate your interesting response !
imho, Von Neumann architecture has the limits you describe.
I am curious if radically different future architectures are possible ... quantum, optical, analog, wetware-biocomputing: "living neurons" interfaced with hardware, etc.
I hope new breakthroughs occur in the next 8~10 years ... after which, i don't think bill's whatever will be around to be surprised 
cheers. Bill

If I was forced to bet, it would be biocomputing or something that closely mimics it somehow that gets us to "artificial" self awareness first.
I use the quotes for a reason, because I question what constitutes artificial at that point. I think maybe you of all people here can appreciate that from a moral or ethical standpoint at the very least.
But then that's a whole mess to contend with. Especially when you consider the fact that an organic machine will probably get tired, need rest, maybe even get bored. At what point are we abusing it?

I wanted to break this out separately because I felt it deserved separate consideration.
I was concerned about you. I know you're no spring chicken as they say, and I'm glad you're still around even if it is less often these days.
Getting old sucks, but I suppose it beats the alternative? I'm nowhere near as far along in my journey as you are, but I'm well past my warranty and things are starting to go.
I hope you're doing well, all things considered.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
