Idk how i forgot to mention that. Maybe bc it was so early. I was trying to get that heart piece right next to the first crawltula you meet and i did it by stacking beds. It didn’t occur to me to reverse bind to the spider until I got to the cave nearby where progress via crawl-bind is mandatory and it hit me then. My jaw dropped and I was in faron woods before my first dungeon completion lol
Does anybody have an article on hand about what happened to the original disco elysium writers/devs? All I can find are vague references to an 'investor coup'
frustrated and feeling dumb enough to post in the gen mega for the first time in years:
I managed to misplace an entire full/queen sized duvet cover while transporting laundry. Mom had knee surgery so I wfh'd and helped her. No clue where it went, I brought it here to clean. Now I am no longer there after a week and it isn't anywhere in my tiny apartment.
One participant, for example, believed the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an “inside job” because jet fuel couldn’t have burned hot enough to melt the steel beams of the World Trade Center
I'll make it perfectly clear that I'm not in anyway informed on the specific mechanisms or the mathematics involved with the algos related to LLMs. I have a computer science bachelor's and worked as a full stack developer. When I had a more free-form web-programming project due it was still called NLP and was used to assess webcrawler data and make recommendations: that's my entire hands on experience so that's why I'm sticking entirely to philosophical aspect.
Is it embodiment, is it the simplicity of artificial neurons compared to biological ones
That's basically it. I believe that by bowing to our machine god we aren't giving human intellect enough credit because we don't know and might never know how to measure it precisely enough to torture a machine with a soul. When you write an code the machine is always doing exactly what you told it to, it can't make mistakes. If your code fucked up, you fucked up. Therefore, without a total understand of our body I do not believe we'll be able to make a machine in our image because we don't have the full picture (please forgive me for that).
Even if you were to 1:1 model a neuron in code, you've got about the entire rest of the body left to recreate. Every thought and feeling is tied to your mind and body. It's not really "mind and body" it's really just "body". there are indescribable feelings that are expressed through song, poetry, paintings, dance, etc. There are entirely "illogical" processes that we simply cannot model. If we are ever able to, of course we can make a machine intelligent. If somehow we were able to get there I think the most obvious question is then: why? Someone on this site might be able to come up with a better use of our top minds and resources.
be as debatey as you want. What I'm saying is not an entirely different argument. What I said is responding to your entire assertion. I'm not giving you credit for the thought experiment because it helps your argument, I'm trying to give you credit for it because it's creative and beautiful.
Now I ask you, is there any theoretical reason why this novel wouldn't be any good? Is the essence of it somehow different than any other novel, can we judge it as not being real art or creativity?
Yes, it is not. You whipped up that fantastical paragraph with 99.99% fewer coal plants and a lifetime's worth of creativity. that life was experienced not through meticulously analyzing each thought mathematically but with your body and mind together. More importantly, you're typing that out because you believe in something which is a theoretical concept that the computer is incapable of analyzing.
Definitely the first time in awhile where I felt like I was overcharged for a purchase i’d actively made. Too busy buying indie games
