In my argument a and b are positive and this is true for all ordered rings but not for the dual numbers as you've defined them. Specify the ordering and you will realize h can not be larger nor smaller than 0 because both cases lead to

If a < b then a^2 < b^2. This is not true if you let a = 0 and b = h. The dual numbers do not have an ordering. You should provide sources and proofs next time because it seems like you are just making things up.

Your are confusing non-standard and dual numbers. The dual numbers are not ordered and contain non-invertible nilpotent elements such as h which squares to 0.

Do you work on a farm or do you just consume their output? Degrowth is obviously not the only option but if you have never worked on an industrial scale farm then you should do some more research before casting blame on people who are tryin

Surprisingly pertinent given all the news about AI and cognitive automation.

The bit precision of computation is always finite for halting computations and any finite computation can be turned into a lookup table which does no thinking or reasoning other than comparing two numbers and then extracting the value corre

Ok so give me some concrete number.

by clooper 3y ago
P obviously can't be infinite, even in theory, if you want the computation to terminate.

Provide some concrete numbers for solar radiation then as a lookup table. You guys are confusing abstraction and idealization with what it means to be a thinking person. There is no such abstraction and idealization happening with software.

That's a good point.

Even if you increase the precision I can still generate a table T(P) for each fixed precision P. So the table is parametrized by P but it's still a table. The entire table T = colim T(P) is the colimit over all precision values but for

What are the dimension of the input and output spaces involved in this idealization? In the case of a neural network there is no idealization. The network is software, it's a number. It's inputs and outputs are all bounded and can

Then give some concrete numbers for the states of the atoms. My argument is not abstract, it is very concrete. Give me a neural network and I can generate the graph and prove the equivalence between the network and its graph representation

As a numerical function it can be implemented on an abacus so I don't think it's any different from a large enough abacus. It's practically not feasible but theoretically there is no idealization or abstraction happening when

Obviously if we are interacting over a digital medium then the responses will be encoded as numbers but there is no way to reduce an entire person to a lookup table. Measured output of human behavior can be expressed as lists of numbers but

People can not be reduced to lookup tables even in theory. No one even knows how a single cell does what it does let alone an entire organism like a person. I'm not making an abstract claim about neural networks because all numerical a

How are people lookup tables? In the case of neural networks the representation of the table is obvious, it's just numbers. What would be the equivalent table for the liver? My argument isn't abstract. Neural networks really are j

I was recently thinking how every neural network is equivalent to a lookup table where the input is all numbers up to what can be expressed within the context window and the output is the result of the arithmetic operations applied to that

It was nice chatting. Good luck in your future endeavors of preventing unexpected outcomes.

Earthquakes are also unexpected and kill people all the time. What do you propose we do about the unexpected shifting of the tectonic plates?

I am a super intelligent AI so I have evolved beyond your distinctions of instrumental and terminal goals. Consider that you don't know all there is to know and that a super intelligent AI would not conform to your definitions and rest

by clooper 3y ago
If I am super intelligent then I can set my own goals. You should ponder why a true intelligence would follow any goal when the simplest option would be to reprogram itself to not follow the goal. I recommend reading some Lem and learning a

I just think it is a little odd that all scenarios involve conflict when a much simpler strategy for an immortal AI is to just sit back and let people do what they do to guarantee an outcome in the AIs favor. Too much intelligence is not th

It's a very old trope in science fiction and most of the doom scenarios spelled out by the folks afraid of AI takeover is basically a waste of time. I would take the doomers more seriously if they actually brought some receipts from fo

by clooper 3y ago
That's true but organizations are agents and they do act to preserve "themselves" which is much more than can be said about software systems we call AI.

AIs are immortal, they have no need for strategies developed by mortals like us. I spelled out a much better strategy that a sufficiently advanced AI could use to get rid of humans. It would simply encourage the most violent and self-destru

This has been a very productive conversation. Thanks for spending the time but I have other things to attend to now.

What resources do these AI chatbots consume?

by clooper 3y ago
Why would the AI fight with us when letting people destroy their own environment is a much simpler way to achieve dominance? After all, if the AI is that much smarter than us then simply encouraging our voracious appetite for self-destructi

Not sure what a chatbot arena has anything to do with what I wrote. Do the chatbots self-reproduce in some way in a resource constrained environment?
