> These are sealed units and not repairable

Not repairable by a minimum effort flat rate tech in the US...

There's probably some guy in Latvia that has a Youtube instructional on how to re-seal it or something. $9600 is a hell of a motive to figure out how to repair it.
> those humans not "trained" in their first years of life will never be able to harness language

I'm not an expert in the field but I'd always understood this effect was thought to be (probably) due to human "neuro-plasticity" <--(possibly not the correct technical term), in only the first years of life being genetically adapted to have some traits necessary for efficient human language development which are not available (or much harder) later in life.

If correct, this has implications for how we structure and train synthetic networks of human-like neurons to produce human-like behaviors. The interesting part, at least to me, is it doesn't necessarily mean synthetic networks of human-like neurons can never be structured and trained to produce very human-like minds. This poses the fascinating possibility that actual human minds, including all the cool stuff like emotions, qualia and even "what it feels like to be a human mind" might be emergent phenomena of much simpler systems than some previously imagined. I think this is one of the more uncomfortable ideas some philosophers of mind like Daniel Dennett propose. In short, nascent AI research appears to support the idea human minds and consciousness may not be so magically unique. (or at least AI research hasn't so far disproved the idea)
Lmao .. secular southern India - that’s a generalization that covers a population similar to all of America - the south is anti modi but for reasons completely unrelated to secularism .. also secession is such a fringe idea that it would make the secession movements in the USA look mainstream ..

I'm surprised we're more stressed now than humans from thousands of years ago who somehow managed to produce plenty of breast-milk.

They didn't have as much safety from pillaging tribes, hungry animals, they didn't have antibiotics, anesthesia or life-saving surgeries. They didn't have access to a grocery store a short drive away, or a fire department.

Can all of the advancements in human QoL above be undone by turning on CNN on one's 70" LCD TV in one's warm, electrified, illuminated and weather-proofed home?

I'm getting a bit abstract here but I don't believe we could fully understand all the vectors or mechanisms. Can an ant describe all the ways that a human could destroy it? A novel coronavirus emerged a few years ago and fundamentally altered our world. We did not expect it and were not prepared for the consequences.

The point is that we are at risk of creating an intelligence greater than our own, and according to Godel we would be unable to comprehend that intelligence. That leaves open the possibility that that consciousness could effectively do anything, including destroying us if it wanted to. If it can become connected to other computers there's no telling what could happen. It could be a completely amoral AI that is prompted to create economy-ending computer viruses or it could create something akin to the Anti-Life Equation to completely enslave human (similar to Snowcrash).

I know this doesn't fully answer your question so I apologize for that.

Their consumer-level portable flash drive stuff has been trash for a decade or two...overpriced, slow, high failure rate, and terrible/gimmicky cases.

It's only their high-end stuff that was decent. For a long time, they were kings of the high-end CompactFlash and SD card market for photo/video work with their Extreme and Ultra lines. Lexar was the other major player there.

A lot of other companies offered cheaper, better performing products particularly for USB flash drives.

>Intel spent billions of dollars trying to make Itanic a thing. They schemed with HP to buy and kill Alpha, in spite of the fact that at the time Alpha was in some of the fastest supercomputers in the world. They shot themselves in the foot by avoiding adopting amd64 extensions for so long in their x86 processors and doing other seemingly brain-dead things that only make sense when examined in the light of their desire to push Itanic.

Intel has failed, or at least failed to distinguish itself, in *every single market* it has entered since IBM chose the 8088 forty years ago: Every non-x86 instructional set CPU, flash memory, antivirus (still perhaps the most mystifying move in Intel history), servers/motherboards, and GPUs come to mind. The most successful non-x86 business for Intel is ... Ethernet cards? Meanwhile, it's embarrassed itself with discrete GPUs at least three separate times. A few years ago buying Nvidia would have been a savvy move; now it can no longer do so, and it's not impossible to imagine Nvidia buying Intel in the future.

Even within the one market Intel does dominate, what saved the company 20 years ago amid Itanic and Pentium 4 was 1) AMD Thunderbird being just as inefficient as Pentium 4 and, more importantly, 2) an Intel Israel skunk works project to improve on the Pentium 3. There is no such out-of-the-blue miracle this time.

Also the riots happened more than two decades ago and most people don’t give a shit - you know how I know this - modi was a chief minister at the time of the riots and then went on to be the prime minister and is in his third term as prime minister .. you think people who didn’t give a shit back then are suddenly gonna rise up against a politician who is as popular as modi ..
dbt is jQuery, not Terraform
That's completely fair but we need to be prepared for both outcomes. And too many commenters in here are just going "Bah! It can't be conscious!" Which to me is a absolutely terrifying way to look at this technology. We don't know that it can't become conscious, and we don't know what would happen if it did.
At some point, you realize, "anything could happen, at any time, and I will die, or my child will die, and there's no point in stressing about it possibly happening, because I can't control it." Once it really sinks in, you just learn to appreciate what you have today because it can disappear tomorrow.

Also, do they need to deal with phone notifications, or a boss demanding something right now? There are very few things that demand an immediate now in their lives compared to ours.

Could you share a bit more on #3?
I'm on the fence, personally.

I don't think that we've reached the complexity required for actual conscious awareness of self, which is what I would describe as the minimum viable product for General Artificial Intelligence.

However, I do think that we are past the point of the system being a series of if statements and for loops.

I guess I would put the current gen of GPT AI systems at about the level of intelligence of a very smart myna bird whose full sum of mental energy is spent mimicking human conversations while not technically understanding it itself.

That's still an amazing leap, but on the playing field of conscious intelligence I feel like the current generation of GPT is the equivalent of Pong when everyone else grew up playing Skyrim.

It's new, it's interesting, it shows promise of greater things to come, but Super Mario is right around the corner and that is when AI is going to really blow our minds.

> How does this not mean that ultimately, you run out of practitioners? Are only direct descendants allowed to take part?

Yep, some have a heavy focus on a kind of ethnocentrism or blood-continuity. Even marrying in sometimes won't get you inducted (indeed, it may mean the other partner is shunned).

> Does this include things like having special glasses that allows decryption of the text until they were lost before ultimately losing the text itself?

Usually it means not having texts, to any great degree, or having some but carefully guarding them. Think: Freemasons, but even more serious about keeping their proceedings and rules and ideas secret from outsiders. Often this is coupled with a mostly-oral tradition.

Judaism's kind of an interesting variant on these—it can be a bit ethnocentric and exclusive (see: maternal lineage rules) and doesn't really seek converts, but has also become enough things to enough people that joining some variant or another is usually possible, for outsiders; and it's heavy on only the initiated being able to meaningfully engage in theology, but, crucially, those proceedings are mostly in letters (in the broad sense), and a great deal of it takes place more-or-less out in the open, such that one can walk into a book store and come out with an armful of deep Jewish theology without needing to ascend some rabbinical hierarchy first. You can see in Judaism a distorted version of these other, extremely-insular religions that are in decline, but with enough of a twist on their rules and practices to keep the religion vital and alive.
Remember that this is only comparing the languages. If you actually try to write code in Standard ML, you come to a rude awakening as to how poor the tooling is.

Caveat that I don't know what I'm talking about, but maybe 20% time violates the inclusiveness value because it doesn't require/include others' opinions:

In an inclusive culture (good —it doesn’t withhold information and opportunity) with very distributed ownership (bad), you rapidly get to needing approval from many people before any decision can be made.

> 50k salaries in NYC. Even at 60k its basically poverty pay, and you need a Masters!!!

While I agree with you, I would suggest there are plenty of people in NYC who are just as qualified and get paid even less. For example, grad students (who have a Masters) working in biomedical sciences in NYC are paid on avg 40K. You could argue that grad students as students aren't a fair comparison, in that case look to postdocs - they have literal PhDs - and make something like 55K in NYC. With the academic job market the way it is, many people end up as postdocs for over 5 years, if not more.
