  I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.

  1 fascist beating ~= 10 citations.

  Get to it, bud!

  Surprisingly, Star Wars is a great example of this. A rinky dink political group (rebels) blowing up a military installation (death star) is terrorism. That does not mean the action was unjustified.

  There’s also ancient Greek and Rome which were republics 2000 and 2500 years ago.

  I agree, LLMs have the amazingly human ability to bumble into the right answer even if they don’t know why.

  It seems to me that a good analogy of our experience is a whole bunch of LLMs optimized for different tasks that have some other LLM scheduler/administrator that is consciousness. Might be more layers deep, but that’s my guess with no neurological or machine learning background.

  This is a cool take! I don’t think I agree though. I assume we developed pattern recognition before music/language. Many animals have the ability to note attributes about plants and animals even without the ability to communicate complex ideas (ie language or oral tradition). I assume that type of pattern recognition was a good blueprint for functions like music and language, but my guess is it started from a general pattern recognition, then was retuned for music and language.

  Again, pure speculation, but there is some logic behind it!

  What does this mean? Cameras? Machines that can identify things via images?
