Just ask GPT4 about it. The only answer you'll get is that you're wrong. I'm sure.

Actually, "Saying GPT-4 has a "better philosophy of mind than most people" depends on what you mean by "better." GPT-4 can access and synthesize vast amounts of information on philosophy of mind, including various theories, arguments, and counterarguments. It can present these views in a structured and coherent manner, perhaps more consistently than many individuals who haven't studied the subject in depth. However, it's crucial to note that GPT-4 doesn't have personal beliefs, experiences, or consciousness. It doesn't "understand" these concepts in the way humans do. It processes text based on patterns learned from data.

Philosophy of mind involves deeply subjective and existential questions about consciousness, experience, and the nature of thought itself—areas where human insight, intuition, and personal experience play key roles. While GPT-4 can offer detailed overviews, critiques, and comparisons of philosophical positions, it lacks the subjective perspective that often enriches human philosophical inquiry. So, while GPT-4 might be more informed in the sense of data access and retrieval, its "understanding" and engagement with the philosophy of mind are fundamentally different from human engagement with the same."

That makes no sense. People don't care that much about how good music or songs are. If not, why do you think the songs on the best playlists keep changing? What matters is being able to maintain the same knowledge and talk about that music or song with someone. So AI-generated music can have no value. In music, narrative isn't something supplementary. People want narratives and music is the medium for that. (But outside of Spotify, maybe this won't be the case. People aren't interested in the narrative of such music as background music or OSTs.)

Then where? You don't mean hobby or social clubs, do you?

Let's be honest: where do we make friends if we work from home? To make friends, we need to be in a sort of co-living environment. It's hard to make friends if all we do is passively set up appointments with someone.

It seems like you're suggesting that people should return to their hometowns and spend the rest of their lives fishing leisurely. While that might be a good option for some, it may not be the option for many regardless of their financial status.

Thanks for sharing your case. But what do you do with the parts you miss while listening to TTS? Do you just read fiction or light reading that you don't mind missing?

If blind people can do things primarily with their sense of hearing, then I believe I can learn to do the same with practice. This would allow me to work with both my visual and auditory senses. Alternatively, I could switch between working with my sight and hearing during different sessions, giving each sense a break. It sounds like a wonderful productivity hack. What do you think of this idea? I wonder if there are any blind training services for non-blind people.

I have to thank you. Because like you, I had the desire to subvert the mainstream, question normality, and be cool, but I could feel my desire to do so waning after seeing your example. (I'm serious)

If they can't even handle those things and they need advice, what the heck is the founders on the business side of things supposed to do? The business side of things means handling those things.

Actually, even if you understand the last item literally, it is impressive enough to gain reputation. Why did you put it as the last item, thinking it was nothing special?

Then, how about creating 1000 startups and operating them in parallel? Since success is mostly luck, it doesn't matter how well each one is operated. Therefore, by operating 1000 startups, the probability of success can be increased to 1000 squared.

SunghoYahng — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 15:21:09 +0000

I really appreciate your generous help. It came at a crucial moment when I truly needed it, and it made a significant difference for me.

It might sound a bit odd to say this from the receiving end, but I hope more people become generous like this. It goes beyond just helping others. When someone who has faced tough situations gains social influence, their perspective on society depends on how much help they received along the way. If they've struggled alone without much support, they might believe they succeeded on their own and harbor resentment toward society. On the other hand, if they've experienced substantial assistance, they're likely to feel a sense of responsibility to give back to society, recognizing that their success wasn't solely achieved independently.

It's as if the animals are speaking a foreign language. But if we were able to talk to them, they would actually struggle to form a sentence (unless the translator AI made it look that way).
