I like to use this story in my argument about sentient AI:
Suppose we traveled to another part of galaxy and gifted undeveloped civilization marvel of technology - I don't know - plasma gun, or computer which can read thoughts, - or come up with your own example.
Then we leave them to be.

It is a mark of profound hubris to suggest that we are even close to understanding and then replicating the architectural decisions that might yield such beautiful artifacts

Big fan of UT of Texas MSDS program.
Had really nice project in Deep Learning course.

It’s good to drop the occasional “just keeping it Hermitian” to keep people on their toes.

Word clouds are visual indications of what words appear more often in a text than typically in other texts. What about the words that appear *less* often? Here you go (for some famous novels).
How can we visualize what a book ISN'T talking about? With an anti-tag cloud! See the most common English words that are never mentioned in a text.

The most important fact for people to understand though is that if you cut up the Earth into cubes of 1m side length and put them all into a row, they will reach from one end of the galaxy to the other.

Greetings new followers! Keep in mind that most stars that will ever be born already have been; the last red dwarf will exhaust its fuel in 10^15 years; and the last black hole will evaporate in 10^100 years. After that, nothing but cold, desolate, empty space, for all eternity.

I believe AI can **assist** to convey accumulated knowledge in a consumable format to a learner. This way AI is much cheaper alternative to human teacher, but again, when learner needs assistance in understanding some particular, and already well known topic.

Adaptive Boosting.
What a cool idea. And also thinking about it, it is so close to how we humans trust each other, and why we even have "appeal to authority" type of argument, why we say "I told you so" etc.

Free will, again.
I think free will is a product of reflection on itself.
System predicts environment in real time, then it decides which future projectile it wants from several possible due to saddle points in chaotic env., then it makes it happen.
Some kind of curvature of future possible.
