will come up with the idea of "messaging her
intelligence" ? ie, enact it as a distinct-disembodied-totem of herself ?
mircea_popescu: (laugh if you
will, however a) this is EXACTLY what alphabet imagines "artificial
intelligence" means and b) this is EXACTLY what they teach them to do in school these days. so... joke's on you, mr barbarian bereft of bayesian behehehnologies.)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes this is why artificial
intelligence will never be able to compete with the genuine article.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's really in the vein of "artificial implants and future
intelligence will bla bla" sorta argument. one step removed from d&d.
mircea_popescu: the cost of keeping the story straight is an exponential function of time whereas the gains for imperials are fixed at best -- their intended audience has no
intelligence or culture. consequently, every usg shill
will be leaking lulz after about 6 to 9 months depending on the volume he outputs.
mircea_popescu: perhaps appealing to their vanity
will work where appealing to their absent
intelligence failed ; after all everyone's got a vanity.
mircea_popescu: "I am a female incel. In 3 weeks I
will be a 25 year old virgin. A socially anxious, insecure, overweight, suicidal, complete failure. I'm going to die a kissless virgin. I
will always be poor, always lack traditional beauty, always be an obtuse person.
Intelligence and grace
will never come naturally. And despite years of positivity about myself and with some idea that I was unique and beautiful in my own way, I realize-- th
mircea_popescu: (for the record - average crack whore sampled off us highway today is, in point of fact and as any sort of practical measure of
intelligence will show - far above average "student" sampled off us campus.)
mircea_popescu: this is the fundamental problem of ethics, that you can't have an intelligent justification of
will, merely a willful justification of
intelligence.
mircea_popescu:
will may give restrictions of domain upon which an
intelligence function may be constructed so it's coherent, but this then doesn't provide a method to justify the
will upon which the whole construction is based.
mircea_popescu: the adaptive behaviour is teh
intelligence - the rest,
will, if you
will, or whatever.
mircea_popescu: in other news - it still remains likely that this summer
will see a bevy of various hardforks on offer. practically speaking, trb can offer either its own candidate, which takes a lot of work, or else sit tight and we'll follow the more intelligent of the avaialble offerings, which takes less work but also implies a lot of risk - experience to date shows that there's precious little
intelligence available outside the w
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: he has an excess of
will and a shortage of
intelligence.
mircea_popescu: was for a while. nothing lasts forever :
will-based systems go the way of russia once the
will is out ;
intelligence based systems go the way of lybia once the
intelligence's out.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, the very amusing situation where people (including derps with aspirations of culture and
intelligence a la orwell) fell for the very obvious trick of pretending that the nazi/fascist police state stuff was not merely the germans/italians being TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED, ie, doing exactly what britain, the us, russia
will do themselves later on, but somehow it were specific about them. sort-of like t
mircea_popescu: <trinque> this is what we
will amount to absent
intelligence, luck, etc << you
will have quite the hill to conquer in showing the woman was bereft
intelligence.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ready for the
will/
intelligence discussion ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: it must suck to be universally accepted as mind-numbingly stupid and yet not have the
intelligence to be introspective enough to see it within yourself and change for the better << guy's wilful.
intelligence can do relatively little, and it generally manifests in people who don't have much
will to speak of.
mircea_popescu: I guess you
will have to go to jail. If that is the result of not understanding the Income Tax Law, I
will meet you there. We shall have a merry, merry time, for all our friends
will be there. It
will be an intellectual center, for no one understands the Income Tax Law except persons who have not sufficient
intelligence to understand the questions that arise under it.
mircea_popescu: Then he told Nakamoto he'd accepted an invitation to speak at the Central
Intelligence Agency headquarters. "I hope that by talking directly to them and, more importantly, listening to their questions/concerns, they
will think of Bitcoin the way I do - as a just-plain-better, more efficient, less-subject-to-political-whims money," he said. "Not as an all-powerful black-market tool that
will be used by anarchists to ove
mircea_popescu: U.S.
intelligence agencies last week urged the Obama administration to check its new healthcare network for malicious software after learning that developers linked to the Belarus government helped produce the website, raising fresh concerns that private data posted by millions of Americans
will be compromised.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here you go : "The worst case scenario I think would be having our European allies saying they
will no longer share signals
