If you squint hard enough, every new thing is an example of "answer-from-search / answer-from-remix". Solving any Erdős problem in this manner was largely seen as unthinkable just a year ago.
>the problem does not matter.
Really? All of the other Erdős problems? Millennium Problems? Anything at all? This gets us directly into the territory of "nothing can convince us otherwise".
Tiresome. You're quoting me out of context, and generally assigning me the POV you want to argue with. You come across as pro-AI looking for anti-AI to do combat with. First, I'm not the right guy, and second, all I'm really saying above is that if we're going to do argument-from-authority, maybe let's engage with what the authority is actually saying in TFA.
It's a rapidly evolving story and I expect H1 2026 to bring much clarity on this topic. Especially with upcoming model releases and more professional mathematicians taking an interest.
>AGI advocates treat machine intelligence like some sort of God that will smite non-believers and reward the faithful.
>The real world is not composed of rewards and punishments.
Most "AGI advocates" say that AGI is coming, sooner rather than later, and it will fundamentally reshape our world. On its own that's purely descriptive. In my experience, most of the alleged "smiting" comes from the skeptics simply being wrong about this. Rarely there's talk of explicit rewards and punishments.
I should be the target audience for this stuff, but I honestly can't name a single person who believes in this "Roko's basilisk" thing. To my knowledge, even the original author abandoned it. There probably are a small handful out there, but I've never seen 'em myself.
As per the conclusions of that great video, going back before Pong and defining a "first" video game depends heavily on your definition of both "video" and "game"
I don't think it is unreasonable to define a "video game" as one employing video graphics and real time input. Things like Tennis for Two (and the later Spacewar) are clearly video games in a sense that mere simulations of board games are not.
I’m no fan furries either, but I also don’t see what bearing someone’s personal life has on how to configure a git forge. Maybe you should grow the fuck up?
Cool, once again you still cannot cite where exactly on this particular blog post you saw them reference being a furry. I don’t really give a shit about anything else you have to say: make a citation. Or just, you know, admit you are wrong and did actually have to go looking for something to whine about.
By an extremely loud group of activists, as always. I'd wager most gamers don't care one way or the other.
