I don't remeber who said it, but building AI isn't just about power dynamics or a bit of efficiency.
It's about whether humanity should keep doing things.
Civilization (feels like it?) stagnated and degraded for the last decades (the main technological upgrade being the cause of social degradation).
We haven't solved cancer, can't regrow limbs, people are unhealthy, commuting to work is unpleasant and work weeks are long. The list can go on.
Humans make tools do let them do better and more work. Humans even set up full automation of certain things. Now humans are looking to fully automate humans, perhaps because we don't believe in the human race. (I think EY and doomers generally are the same as the accelerationists, neither has faith in humanity).
What could humans make that would restore faith- faith that we could compete with AGIs, faith that we can get out of stagnation without replacing humans, faith that we can make the world of humans a better one?
A tech advance, an organizational efficiency advance, quality of life, something else?
Just make online courses for all major studies, with pdf textbooks, video lectures and homework exercises with solutions. Then set up a testing facility and give people degrees based on passed tests.
Pay the best professors you can for this, make tests with very high upper ceilings, it could become the standardized system for schooling like China's old civil bureaucracy tests.
(For tests you could have full day tests, and you answer as many questions as you can - with the later ones more difficult)
Leave the "top schools" to their status games, provide better education and fairly standardized testing, plus certification - for much lower prices
Not romantic, fun, sexy, etc to just ask. Much better when it's as close to a dance as possible, as much subtley as can be expected is involved.
This is certainly a filter, but not consciously. Consiously this allows the woman to feel good about herself and the whole interaction.
(Not that being straightforward is bad or can't be exciting - though it is usually flatter)
Why is coherence a necessary base for well-foundedness?
Well founded marriage seems like something different from east and west halves of a country, there is a choice and pattern of behavior here, not a fundamental difference that stops it from being possible to create sub-agentic infighting. (East and West could pay for spies etc, but this isn't a fundamental part of the problem)
Pros: less to hold in your head at once, letting you focus on the content rather than keeping the words straight. (The longer the worse, and using different languages also makes this harder)
Cons: writers have less stylistic space in less words
Sentences should be shorter rather than longer, expcept where there is good reason (keeping out the less intelligent or for stylistic reasons)
Ah thanks
Sounds like baby with the bathwater, economically agents would be very nice
Which paragraph exactly? I tried and this did not replicate
How difficult/expensive would it be to create a large database of people with full panels of their micronutrients, hormones, fat distribition, bmi, insulin, medications etc from regular checkup, and chronic issues?
I've started reading the literature on some common chronic diseases, and there's often a few important (often different!) variables missing in different studies which make getting a full picture much harder.
As a second step, maybe allow individuals to add data with sensors and apps that come with a pipeline to the database? Sleep data, food diaries, glucose monitors, thermometers, step counters, heart rate monitors etc
Add genomic sequencing and you've got as much data as you can use, assuming you scale enough.
The question is how you make it easy enough that it can be opt-out instead of opt-in
When you say ~zero value, do you mean hyperbolically dicounted or something more extreme?
