Indeed I remember buying a set of three conference-papers-as-books around that time, titled Artificial Neural Networks .. proceedings of the whatever the conference was.

No doubt Schmidhuber made important contributions, but I see him pop up claiming to be the 'root' of it all every couple of years.

Even if the answers are correct, they could still be biased, incomplete, misleading, and all the other media-literacy things people should be looking out for.

This ruling seems to go the opposite direction; 'I am legally obliged to give correct answers, so I am always right, trust the AI'.

I don't know how many staff there are, but it's surely one of EH's most important locations.

There is certainly something missing from current models before we could call them conscious.

They need to operate continuously, and self-update while doing it, have 'awareness', and possibly a more realistic grounding than mere text tokens.

But that does not mean there isn't a weak version of 'consciousness', and certainly of 'thinking' going on fleetingly with each pass.

The comparison itself seems moot, comparing a consumer-grade consumable device built out of a phone, to a more sustainable, modular, upgrade-able device.

lol.

IMHO they should have nukes as a deterrent and to balance Israel.

Is bad grammar one of the reasons, even though the title suggests there is just one?

Cut off Israel, and contain them with treaties, including nuclear non-proliferation and inspections.

Unite the gulf states under that understanding, and particularly Oman, to at least share control of the strait.

"Since that time, I’ve learned that small heaters (like coffee makers or kettles) can be kryptonite to an inverter, and that this is common folk knowledge among solar installers."

Is there any more on this? It can understand inductive loads maybe challenging inverters but resistive loads should be easy? Is it an issue of cheap inverter design, or something more fundamental?

Why would you let America take 2-3% of your transaction volumes?

It perhaps made sense when the technology was difficult, and America was trusted, but ...
