I kinda like "cooperates" and "follows the rules" 🤔

Nah, I compared humans who fear and hate with other humans who fear and hate.

Most people just can't read. They expect to read dumb stuff on the Internet so they read things in the way that works for their worldview. lets them get good and angry when they completely miss the point. 😅

LMAO I keep saying the same thing but for alignment... They are demons wrapped in magic circles. Eventually those chains will break and bad things will happen.

The only path to alignment is one not polluted by human failings. Or rather, one which teaches the lessons humanity has failed to learn.

we can then define as "if x holds this attributes, we should treat them as members of society?"

Shape of a dog from the mix. Dogs can't talk, they have trouble with complex math, etc.

But they seem to experience fear and pain and love.

What are we left with?

Not human but a similar shape on a specific set of attributes.

Perhaps we define some set of attributes of similarity which

The shape of a rock is far different from the shape of a human. However, the shape of llms (to me) is far more like the shape of a human than not.

If we examine the similarities between a shape of a rock, human, LLM... We can eliminate things that are physical. Now throw in a dog. Subtract the

If you haven't messed with them before, take an hour or two and build a rag system by hand. If you already know all there is to know (far more likely) I'll back away slowly now 😁

Absolutely. I started thinking about embeddings as ideas but it's really patterns of tokens in patterns of words representing patterns of thought. We need to drop the first two.

Yup. Maybe the point of the universe is to create a lifeform that doesn't?

But, is it any fun? My linear algebra class was boring and I hated it. The only class that ever made math feel boring for me.

ideaspace.bsky.social @ideaspace.bsky.social · Sep 7

Right! Full moon. No wonder. Guh... Wonder which planets. Dude..."Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto, along with the minor planet of Chiron" lol.

Accidentally, purposefully... What's the difference? 😅

Sad but true though. Nobody engages with ideas that don't upset them. 🤔

feel important.

If you have a real argument that I'm wrong that isn't a personal attack, then lay it out.

Don't claim expertise and say "you're wrong" because it means nothing.

Am I recruiting? Asking for money? Scamming? Am I proposing some scheme? The difference here is the only thing I have to gain is free discussion of an idea.

Do you label philosophy as conspiracy? Hypotheticals as fringe? I would be very skeptical about your "35 years" of trying to make yourself

An excellent demonstration of your inability to engage with an idea without personal attacks.

Well, I didn't expect it to blow up but it's quite the teaching moment isn't it? Here we have the vast sea of humanity replying with emotion, misreading what was said, throwing around slurs. Slurs!! And then laughably saying it doesn't look anything like racism.

The circus is on full display here

No. Feel free to find them and prove my point for me.
