In rationalist spheres, there's a fairly clear consensus that whatever AI's ultimate impact will be, it is at its core a capable technology that will have very large effects on the world. In the "general public" sphere, things are very different.

I appreciate Theodore Ehrenborg's comments. As a wee lad, I heard about mathematical certainty of computer programs. Let's go over what I currently believe and don’t believe. First: what is formal verification Sometimes you get pwned because of the spec-implementation gap. The computer did not do what it should’ve done. Other times, you get pwned by the world-spec gap. The computer wasn’t wrong, your “shoulds” were. Expanding the domain of compiletime knowledge A compiler tells you the problem

Here is a game you can play with yourself, or others: a) You have to decide on a moral framework that can be explained in detail, to anyone. b) It will be implemented worldwide tomorrow. c) Tomorrow, every single person on Earth, including you and everyone you know, will also have their lives randomly swapped with someone else.

Through the story of an ordinary person with extraordinary kindness, this episode reminds us that hope still lives within us. It’s a tribute to quiet humanity — to those who give, care, and believe that the world can heal through simple acts of goodness.Support the show my email address gholamrezava@gmail.com Twitter account is @...

So let's talk about Aquarius, you are the cornerstone for air signs, so Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, you are the cornerstone for that group.

Why You Should Listen Because the world’s cleverness has outpaced its conscience. This essay invites you to explore the quiet revolution that begins within — where intellect humbles itself before empathy, and where clarity and compassion might finally walk side by side.
