> I mean, these "self-introspection, consciousness-obsessed cultures like Hindu and Buddhism" are a source of hatred and violence. The Hindu majority is India is on this brutal trend. And in Burma-Birmania-Myanmar, the Buddhist population was almost unanimous in supporting the discrimination against muslims and the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya. People feel they belong to a religion and that those who do not are unenlightened strangers. The phenomena is well known and studied: religion leads to intolerance.

That is why it is important to fill these void with fluff. But that fluff requires some mythos otherwise it wouldn't hold the fluff together.
There's a subset of these 2 religions that doesn't require you to believe in anything aside from the fact that "consciousness exist".
However, this concept is quite hard for common folk to grasp.
This is why I think that it is important to create a layer on top of this that the masses can feed unto.

The problem with using astrology as the basis for religion is that it doesn't correspond to reality at all. Simple statistical analysis would yield weird results that doesn't match with reality. How do you reconcile being bad at something X despite being born at month Y that supposedly makes you better at X. Or why does X today when my horoscope is Y?

Well, yes, that was the main thing, it was free to use, and it was easier to "convince" it to virtualize macOS on non-Apple hardware. Also I liked the fact that it was easy to run headless VMs (VBoxHeadless), and the "VBoxManage" command-line tool was pretty capable. Plus, the dual monitor functionality worked on my setup pretty well (Linux host and Windows guest).

But anyway, today I have everything I need through KVM and virt-manager when I want to run Linux or Windows guests, on macOS I use UTM for home/manual use. On macOS VirtualBox was a no-go because VirtualBox is an x86 virtualizer, so they don't have plans to support arm64 anyway.

Virtual box seems to have a lot of issues with amd GPU's.

Whatever host or guest OS I use, I always find graphical bugs inside the guest VM. Some programs like Chrome seem to fall back to some software rendering compatibility mode, despite 3d acceleration being enabled, and things that don't fall back have issues with some things being overly transparent, like the windows start menu.

This snake simultaneously develops LMMs and a global biometric database that they hope to be required to use the internet[1] due to the problems widespread LMMs create. Pure evil.

Let's not forget that we are also seeing TPM/WEI type schemes being widely developed and deployed. Ubiquitous biometric surveillance and unforgeable cryptographic signatures for everything you think or do in our now-hyperconnected world is absolutely terrifying.

It's impossible to see all of this (and other dystopian visions from his davos friends like brain transparency[2]) coming to a head at the same time as anything other than a declaration of war on computers, the internet, and general purpose humanity.

Amon Amarth encouraged fans at a festival to sing along even if they don't know the lyrics: "It's death metal, no one would tell the difference!"

> we've got censuses going back hundreds of years. Do the math

What math? And what would you do with those censuses? There are no individual records... Could you at the very try least try clearly define who would receive these "reparations"? Would any descendants of black slaves or enslaved Native Americans (or are we not thinking about the natives at all?) get the same share? Would it depend on the proportion of your ancestors who were enslaved? Would your current financial circumstances affect this? Would you have to do a DNA test measuring the proportion of your genome coming from Africa, Europe etc. and use that to calculate the payout?
Those organizations can and have done some very good journalism. I'll be the first to admit that.

But is it a model we want from ALL news organizations? I'm okay with CBC [news] being government funded, flawed though it sometimes is. However if CTV, Global, NatPo, the Globe, etc. are all in the same boat, that can't be good for journalism or democracy. Diversity (in funding and ideology) is our strength.
> I think the author of that title could well do with a refresher course in epistemology and physics, as it is just not possible to do what they suggest.

If you define "facts" as "things actually stored in the LLM's weights", then research shows it is possible to determine if an output is a "fact" or not.

There might be some outages, but still, Twitter as an entity is operating just fine, if Elon's claims are correct time spent on twitter is at record highs, and similarweb doesn't show any real decrease in visitors:

Reddit, Twitter, Facebook all had outages in the beginning all the time, it's not a deal breaker for heavily network effect products.

So really, yes, getting rid of some staff has caused outages, but it's also sped up development of new features, and not really affected usage.
This is not about OpenAi in case you think that, it's about a project where they scan your iris and give you a digital ID based on that, to solve the 'proof of personhood' problem. The training data comes from them simply paying poor people to have their eyeballs scanned, the project has been in the works for quite a while. HN isn't exactly their target demographic, you'd be surprised how many people are sadly ready to have their eyeballs scanned for a bit of cash (which they cleverly pay out in their own made-up token, so it doesn't actually cost them that much).

>If you really believed in God and Heaven you'd become a monk or nun, logically you'd spend your finite life maximising your chance of infinite reward

I think the story is not as simple as that. The problem is that people actually _do_ believe in Heaven/Hell and they _wish_ that they have the devotion to match their faith. That is to say that people wish they can become a nun or a monk. Which is why when people do become nun/monk/suicide bombers, they don't condemn them but wish they are brave enough to do it themselves (why not every religious person is suicidal) or even admit to wanting to do it (why it doesn't show up as much in polls).

This whole post is about higher-order volition[1] - what you want to want.

This is the future. What if you could have full control over your urges and desires? What if you could make the conscious decision to alter your consciousness such that your sole desire is to find the solution the collatz conjecture, or to achieve rank 1 in league of legends, or to experience orgasmic pleasure from setting up pyramids of dominoes until the end of time.

I feel like that's the next phase of humanity. As it is, we're still trapped by the same urges and desires that has guided humanity for hundreds of thousands of years. Any true evolution beyond humanity means a meaningful break from that, but I honestly have no idea what that will look like and what implications it will bring.

Greg Egan's fiction introduced me to this idea, and it's haunted me since I encountered it.
