So I thought gravity was basically the curvature of spacetime. But if there's a "gravity" particle, those two things seem mutually exclusive?

Can someone who understands this please explain it to me, thanks!

we keep moving the goalposts, and that's not a bad thing.

remember when Doom came out? How amazing and "realistic" we thought the graphics were? How ridiculous that seems now? We'll look back at ChatGPT4 the same way.

eventually, we'll be able to eliminate the intermediate "computer", and just let the ai render everything we need to interact with

I live in a very hot location, and I also happen to like going for long runs. I've long known, if I took my dog with me on my run, it would kill him. Even though he's a fit young dog, there's no way he can handle the heat at running pace for that length of time.

“It shows that he, to some extent, has the cognitive capacities that he needs to treat the wound with some medically active plants,” she said. “But we really don’t know how much he understands.”

This could apply to many humans too. Many people don't know why they're doing what they're doing, and don't have any understanding of how what they're doing works.

We're really not _that_ much smarter than them.

ta93754829 — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 22:53:30 +0000

lets say we did this, and we got the tiny probes up to even ~speed of light... then what are they going to do when they get there? what sensors can they carry and report back. And we wouldn't be able to slow them down, so they're going to transit through the target solar system relatively quickly (days even).

Google is the next Blackberry, it just hasn't happened yet. Unless they can get a Nadella, and really transform the company asap, they're in a death spiral.

When you dig into it, there are very few truths. Who "won" the last US election? Where did covid come from?

Humans will argue the right answer until their last days. It's frustrating how on-the-fence chatgpt can be. It's pretty interesting too, because in a professional environment one of the most important things you need to do is have an opinion and take a position otherwise you can't execute.
