I fear it was inevitable, with no framework where we can agree upon semantics are all there is.
I truly wish we humanity had more knowledge to have a more proper discussion but currently it seems unproductive, especially in the context of a faceless online forum debate between 2 strangers.
Thank you for your time, and input on this matter.
I understand what you're saying but i disagree that there is any proper defining of the concept. The few scientist that attempt to study it can't even agree on what it even is.
I agree that my example where far out, they are supposed to be to represent ideas outside the conventional box. I don't literally believe grass is conscious. I recognize that if i/we don't know, then i/we don't know. In the face of something we don't know the nature off, the requirements for, the purpose it serves i prefer to remain open to every option.
I know Wikipedia isn't a scientific research paper but i expect that if there really is a agreed upon scientific answer it wouldn't be like it currently is:
"Consciousness, at its simplest, is awareness of internal and external existence. However, its nature has led to millennia of analyses, explanations and debate by philosophers, theologians, and all of science. Opinions differ about what exactly needs to be studied or even considered consciousness. In some explanations, it is synonymous with the mind, and at other times, an aspect of mind. In the past, it was one's "inner life", the world of introspection, of private thought, imagination and volition. Today, it often includes any kind of cognition, experience, feeling or perception. It may be awareness, awareness of awareness, or self-awareness either continuously changing or not. The disparate range of research, notions and speculations raises a curiosity about whether the right questions are being asked."
Or maybe our current understanding of conscious and intelligence is wrong and they are not related to each other. A non conscious thing can perform advanced logic like the Geometrical patterns found within the overlapping orbits of planets, the Fibonacci being found about everywhere. We also have yet to proof that individual strands of grass or rocks aren't fully consciousness. There is so much we don't know for certain its perplexing how we believe we can just assume.
So much for hoping ai was going to solve energy breakthroughs.
Its clearly visible in official pictures from apple.
Sadly i cant say the same of hyprX with the wires on their Alpha clouds.
A small local may do that but it is indeed an important detail.
I have multiple co-workers who daily drive linux distros as virtual machines on a macbook.
The one i am most friends with already had a perfectly good desktop that he now keep around so his children can game.
Or actually job can only be done from a work approved windows dell but we have opportunities and ambitions to learn more advanced skills beyond our current scope.
I cant even find local news report on it.
After some brief research apparantly these are super common, sometimes causd moderate disturbances and this one is minor but was predicted to maybe last a bit longer.
Its super interesting sfuff that i wish was more common in everyday news reporting but this article Up here is mere clickbait.
I asked H2O first but no proper answer.
i heard dihydrogen monoxide has a melting point below room temperature and they seem to find it everywhere causing huge oxidation damage to our infrastructure, its even found inside our crops.
Truly scary stuff.
The reason this is good for privacy is because we don't need a new smart device to send other (like video) data away for heavy processing in the cloud.
We might instead be able to just update wifi routers to create local functionality.
Then it will depend on the router and the user configuration what actually happens with that data.
The user can have full local control…. Except neighbours wifi could be spying and so could someone with a wifi device in a car. But if putting a faraday cage around peoples exterior walls (combined with an underground physical cable to an internal extender for phone and roaming while insid) becomes a thing then it looks it could be a great system theoretically.
Gotta wait to see how it might look in practice though.
Something i am really missing is a breakdown of How good these models actually are compared to eachother.
A demo on hugging face couldnt tell me the boiling point of water while the authors own example prompt asked the boiling point for some chemical.
Be careful, cycle of abuse is a thing. If we normalize this then it wont be long till it gets worse.
A better first step would be to educate people with skepticism so they understand that the president calling personally to ask people not to vote cant be right.
Another idea that could help is incorporating nft blockchain in official verifiable footage,quotes,stances, linked whenever referenced so the unaltered context can easily be sourced and non verifiable footage treated with skepticism.
