Good post

Hacker News comments have it covered.

‘AGI’ generally means ‘machine intelligence as general as human intelligence’.

The claim here is ‘it’s impossible to have machine intelligence with zero specialisation’. Sure, but that’s not what people are talking about with AGI

LeCun has been saying this for years:

• LeCun prefers the term “Advanced Machine Intelligence” (AMI) over “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI), pointing out that even human intelligence is highly specialized

• LeCun proposed a shift in focus towards what he calls Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI), moving away from the term Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

It’s just a semantic argument.

How’s my brain working then?

Damn

Lemmy is inherently democratic. If you don’t like a muni, or an instance, you go to another one. Without centralization dictatorship is impossible.

That’s more like voluntarism than democracy.

Online? Dictatorship. Let the guidelines be clear and the conversations civil and on topic. If my speech isn’t wanted in a particular community I can find another, or make another where I’m the dictator.

I like StackOverflow’s democratic moderation. It also scales better than centralised moderation.

The squabbling process moves the law toward meeting the needs of more people.

Are there data on this?

You’re making a causal claim (if squabbling, then more needs met) and that’s either empirically true or not.

Misinformed.

The founding fathers of the USA never mentioned democracy in the constitution nor declaration of independence.

In their writings, they only ever used the word as a pejorative: https://founders.archives.gov/?q=democracy&s=1111211111&sa=&r=1&sr=

“we are not so absurd as to “design a Democracy,” of which the Governor is pleased to accuse us”

“You would have torn up the Foundations and demolished the whole Fabrick of the Government, and have suffered Democracy… to have arisen in its Place.”

Are those the founding fathers you’re talking about?

‘Stenopterygius’ is an anagram of ‘I get stone syrup’ or ‘Gutsy Stone pier’

Cringe title

In case they fix the title: https://archive.is/YopV6

No.

Book-learning is realllllly overrated in our world, especially in a forum like this.

Less than 1% of knowledge is expressible in words.

I’m afraid expulsion is the only answer. It is the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane!

I’m afraid he’s not, Mrs. Fishpaw. Dexter’s truancy problem is way out of hand. The Baltimore County School Board have decided to expel Dexter from the entire public school system.

That leaves four

Is Dexter ill?
