Real world

Eliezer Shlomo Yudkowsky (Chicago, 11 settembre 1979) è uno scrittore, teorico dell'intelligenza artificiale e teorico delle decisioni statunitense, noto per aver divulgato l'idea dell'intelligenza artificiale amichevole,[1][2] rendendola popolare

i sistemi autonomi e adattivi siano progettati per imparare un comportamento corretto nel tempo

Egli afferma che la gentilezza (un desiderio di non nuocere agli umani) dovrebbe essere progettata fin dall'inizio, ma che i progettisti dovrebbero riconoscere sia che i loro progetti possono essere difettosi, sia che il robot imparerà ed evolverà nel tempo

lavorare per specificare gli agenti software che convergono su comportamenti predefiniti sicuri anche quando i loro obiettivi sono mal specificati

IA potrebbe fare un salto apparentemente brusco nell'intelligenza puramente come risultato dell'antropomorfismo, la tendenza umana a pensare allo 'scemo del villaggio' e a 'Einstein' come gli estremi della scala dell'intelligenza, invece di punti quasi indistinguibili sulla scala delle menti in generale

playing the Nazi card,[1][2] is an attempt to invalidate someone else's argument on the basis that the same idea was promoted or practised by Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party.[3]

"You know who else...?" with the deliberate intent of impugning a certain idea or action by implying Hitler had that idea or performed such an action

I like the Retro Game Mechanics channel on YouTube. What was possible was limited by the hardware, and in a weird way it forced games to be good. Skill was apparent by a quick viewing, and different skill is usually highly correlated. Good graphics meant good story – not true today

What if the Internet was a mistake? I feel like it’s breaking my brain

not having the Internet with you will be a choice, not a real barrier. There’s nowhere to hide

Chris McCandless wanted to be an explorer, but being born in 1968 meant that the world was already all explored. His clever solution, throw away the map. But that didn’t make him an explorer, it made him an idiot who died 5 miles from a bridge that would have saved his life

The TikTok brainrot kids will be nothing compared to the ChatGPT brainrot kids

It will be whatever it is

No other signal like it has been detected before or since.

the signal was much more powerful than had previously been predicted at 250 Janskys, four times larger than had previously been estimated.

We propose that the Wow! Signal was caused by the abrupt brightening of the hydrogen line of these clouds triggered by an intense radiation source, such as a magnetar flare or a soft gamma repeater

firmitas (solidità e permanenza); utilitas (funzione, destinazione d’uso); venustas (perfezione di bellezza).

equilibrio e proporzioni sono elementi caratteristici della natura

Canone di Policleto, l’applicazione del modulo architettonico all’anatomia: partendo da un’unità (come un dito o la testa) si ricavano proporzionalmente le misure di tutto il corpo.

>> Make cheese expensive again << Non è un paese per caci

è un modello che concettualizza i meccanismi di conoscenza e auto-conoscenza delle persone; in altre parole, spiega in che modo l’Io si relaziona con sé stesso e con gli altri, attraverso diversi livelli cognitivi e relazionali

Scientists recently discovered a microbe with one of the tiniest genomes on Earth. More surprising, the creature is almost entirely dependent on its host

Merlin displays what he knows so shamelessly that he throws everyone off

the “shameless” approach is becoming a dominant strategy today. It was first popularized in modern canon by Paris Hilton, who played the “dumb blonde heiress

people were dismissive of Paris because validating her playbook would mean admitting that they were playing an inferior game

Today, it seems like punishing shamelessness only increases social rewards to the transgressor. What’s changed?

In the past, if the size of your community was finitely bounded (like a village, or an aristocratic social class), people didn’t enter or exit these communities as frequently. Under these conditions, sanctions are probably still effective, because members of the community want to be liked and accepted.

But the borders to online communities are much more fluid - perhaps even nonexistent

will backfire, because they just serve as a signaling boost for the transgressor, attracting outsiders who resonate with that person’s message.

forms the basis for an entirely new community.

A common critique of shameless people is questioning their intelligence

it doesn’t actually matter how aware that person is

The shameless person is simply a host for a set of ideas, which, like any virus

Ai sensi dell’art. 24 del Regolamento di Polizia Urbana, l’esercizio dell’attività artistica di strada non è soggetta alle disposizioni in materia di occupazione di aree e spazi pubblici

Data shouldn't live in a file on a laptop. It shouldn't be a single file on a network share. Data is a living beast. Data needs to live in a database - not an Excel file. Access should be granted for each according to their needs.

I didn't start running until I was in my late twenties, and even so I would end up in a pattern where I'd get motivated and go on a couple of runs, take a few days off, go on another run the following week, and next thing you know it's been a month since I last run. Rinse and repeat.

2024 was going to be the year that I finally did social media. Regular posting, a content calendar, a strategy, a plan for growth

I had a book coming out in April 2024

There are very few things that an author can practically do to make a book a success
