Same with something like conscious. We do not understand it well enough for any definition to fit.

I think that a good definition for consciousness is the subjective experience of it feeling like something to be. It's the fact that there's qualia to existence. I don't see a reason for why we would need to solve the hard problem of consciousness in order to define a term we use to describe it. As far as I know we don't understand gravity either but everyone still understands that term.

According to most dictionary definitions for "intelligence" the bar is quite low for a system to be considered "intelligent"

  • The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.
  • the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations
  • the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)
  • the act of understanding
  • the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason
  • It can be described as the ability to perceive or infer information; and to retain it as knowledge to be applied to adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

YOLO, DeepFace, AlphaGo, AlphaZero, Tesla FSD, AlphaFold, IBM Watson, DeepStack, Midjourney ...

AI is in no way synonymous with LLMs.

I must agree with the people saying you're crazy for having that long commute. That's over a month spent getting to and from work every year. Time is the most valuable asset in the entire world. By working we're trading time for money but for the time spent commuting you're not even getting paid. I would seriously consider trying to find an alternative solution to this.

Among all my friends, there are two clear common denominators between those who rent and those who own houses. The ones renting have office jobs and live in the capital, while the ones who own houses live in smaller cities or the countryside and work in manual labor.

I’m not saying correlation is causation, but it’s an interesting observation - and so far, it applies to 100% of my friends.

This doesn't really have anything to do with facts, though. Names of people, objects and places change all the time.

I guess this is kind of like asking why don't ugly people date eachother - because they don't want to date an ugly person.

Allright. Let's revisit this in 6 months to see what happened - or didn't.

I have separate filter lists for both, posts and comments but I need to keep adding new ones every day. I guess "Mar a lago" is the one I'm adding today.

Or at the people forcing politics into every-single-discussion.

This is just one of the many reasons I have no interest in new cars. If it needs an internet connection then I'm not buying it. There are very few things I need my vehicle to be able to do and having access to internet isn't one of them. I don't even like that my truck has automatic wipers - I vastly prefer the traditional ones. Hell, I don't even need the radio.
