Eventually both the hype and its criticism will be automated with AI as well so that we can all go to the beach and relax.

The problem is systemic. People believe that the pursuit of monetary and financial profits by corporations will lead to the creation of benevolent artificial intelligence. I personally think this is essentially a religion because it is obvi

Are you sure about this? It's well known that cannibalism in animals leads to degenerative disorders.

It's a made up concept and it includes all possible ways people can think anything. If you want something concrete then you can consider sheaves of finitely presented algebras on the nervous system considered as a topological space wit

How can you tell the difference between (r,r) and (r+ε,r+ε)? The argument in the article assumes that there is an ε such that it is impossible to tell the difference between r and r+ε. So this means that the entire square can be covered by

I made the obvious connection. It's an original thought from me and no one else.

I don't think that. I'm just explaining what follows logically if the cognitive manifold is compact.

The universe is mathematical, all we can ever know about it is mathematical.

It all follows from compactness so if the cognitive manifold is not compact then the conclusion is not true.

Interesting argument. This assumes that cognition must also be happening on a compact manifold which seems like a reasonable assumption but the conclusion is somewhat counterintuitive because it means there are only finitely many personalit

That's still radiation which turns to heat.

So T = dQ/dS. Seems like the same thing.

Sounds like it's the same thing.

In the case of computers it turns to waste heat and whatever is radiated away is not usable energy and is essentially waste heat. Computers are basically devices for converting useful energy into waste radiation.

The electromagnetic radiation still turns to waste heat.

How are heat and entropy different?

You are correct. All the electron motion in a CPU turns to waste heat or electromagnetic radiation which eventually becomes waste heat.

Fundamentally, yes. All motion does end up adding entropy to the environment. This is especially egregious for fossil fuels which are literally combusted/oxidized to move chunks of metal on wheels carrying different kinds of cargo. Ele

You'd still have to write a proof for verifying semantic equivalence before implementing the optimization so I don't see what the neural network gains you here unless it is actually supplying the proof of correctness along with th

JIT optimizers operate at runtime, there are no test suites to verify before/after. It's happening live as the code is running so if you use AI then you won't know if the optimization is actually valid or not. This is why the

I meant how do you make sure the optimization suggested by the AI is actually valid. If you're using AI to modify bytecode for faster execution then you have to make sure the optimized and unoptimized code are semantically equivalent.
