- Comment on Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI 6 days ago:
To be fair, capitalism is inherently incompatible with advancements in robotics and AI. Doesn’t mean the technology is destroying the economics and society. The eco-societal system was already broken to begin with.

I really need to do this. Will be a fun day at work.
- Comment on really makes you think 1 week ago:
Different waters taste differently. Tap water taste differs from region to region. Bottled water tastes differently between brands and also compared to tap water. This is also caused by varying amounts of minerals.
If you think your sense of taste works fine, but can not tell taste differences in water, try making direct comparisons. Take some bottled water and some tap water (if it is safe for drinking whereever you live). Then take a sip, focus on the taste. Try making out differences. Repeat a couple of times.
If you still can’t make out any differences and you weren’t impatient, it might be worth training your sense of taste first, because water does have a flavour. - Comment on I love science 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on G-Assist is ‘real’: NVIDIA unveils NitroGen, open-source AI model that can play 1000+ games for you 3 weeks ago:
Apart from games, where this can also be used for more capabable and behaviourally more “interesting” NPCs (including computer opponents or teammates), the used techniques can be transferred to robotics. Quite a cool architecture.
- Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is 100.00% decompiled 4 weeks ago:
Important
This repository does not contain any game assets or assembly whatsoever. An existing copy of the game is required.
This project itself is not, and will not, produce a port, to PC or any other platform. It is a decompilation of the original game code, which can be compiled back into a binary identical to the original.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 4 weeks ago:
“Kill switch” is a bit dramatic. It’s an on or off toggle. Would be funny though to call every toggle a kill switch. “Yeah, using the kill switch on GPU acceleration may help with rendering on some systems.”
“Use the kill switch for preventing Firefox of starting a new session without restoring the old tabs.”
“Kill all of your browser data upon exiting Firefox by enabling the kill switch.”
“Make Firefox your default browser by enabling the ‘set as default browser kill switch’.”
Extended to other UI interaction classes: “You don’t like English? Kill it by using the battle royale language selector to choose only the one language you like.”

I missed some puns as it seems. E.g. the comoving or proper distances in gravitational lenses.

Yes. But we will have to see whether it’s opt-in or opt-out. This can make quite a significant difference.
- Comment on The Sensory Biology of Plants 1 month ago:
Just a little nitpick: vegans are omnivores too. Afaik, being omnivorous describes the biological ability to digest plant matter and meat (and fungi ). Voluntarily restricting ones diet for whatever reason does not remove this ability.

Naive question from a european: Aren’t there companies on the market who can offer a cheaper price and therefore beat greedy competitors?

- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 2 months ago:
The logic behind the voice controls sounds pretty questionable, but it’s supposedly backed by data showing that users spend billions of minutes talking in Microsoft Team meetings, according to Mehdi — so they’re already used to talking on the computer, right?
Do they really reason like this? Oh my. That’s stupid. And here I was thinking Microsoft employs clever people.

Don’t worry. We’re working on AI powered humanoid robots that will replace natural human connection.

- Comment on Inspiring. Innovating. 3 months ago:
Yes, of course there is a physical limit. But I’m not sure we’ve leveraged all that’s possible yet. And currently the scale of inefficiency - also from a financial perspective - is quite significant. Especially when comparing to other methods like planting trees.

Of course. But it’s the scale of inefficiency (also in terms of a financial perspective) that becomes quite significant.

It find it unfortunate that you are unwilling to continue this discussion. I can only recommend to you to read more deeply about this topic in order to form a well founded and critical opinion, before judging things you do not seem to comprehend sufficiently.
Let me know as soon as you’d like to continue this matter. I am always open for a good discussion and good arguments.
(I am not sorry for “necroing”, sometimes I’m just not in the mood and/or don’t have the time to reply to various comments. But that’s the beauty of discussion platforms: it’s always possible to pick it up at a later time.)

Well, in that case I wonder why you were criticising the field of AI. Doesn’t seem to be substantiated.

Is it though? By which definition?
What is “thinking critically about thoughts”?
And what is an “independent thought”? Aren’t our brains not just reacting to sensory inputs and dictated by the way our brains are wired?Maybe we should go even further and clarify what a “thought” even is.
Are animals, who lack the higher cognitive functions, that humans have, therefore not “intelligent”? Are mentally impaired people no longer to be considered “intelligent”? If so, where is the line to be drawn? What are the specific definitions and criteria to correctly distinguish intelligence from non- or pseudo-intelligence?

I’ve got a rejection notice after I was hired by the very same company. The reason was that someone forgot to mark the application as accepted, so the system automatically sent the rejection mail. That was confusing at first, but also funny.
