“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Lee Cronin On Why AI Doesn't Stand a Chance..
Excerpt:
What Burgson said...actually I like it a lot because Instinct going into cognition gives you intuition. Intuition is the thing that you can't yet put into language very well, you haven't got there, but you've got this thing right?
I wanna say it here. Even thought it will be prone to misunderstanding and/or misreading intention.
>>>> I. Actually. Appreciate your tryes to establish communication YOUR WAY. <<<<
It's just... I am not very experienced and not very capable, it seems, to pull it up from my side.
Like for example, with that Assembly Theory.
Even though I gave my short remark "BS". It actually doesn't mean that I disregard or trying to deminish other people valiant attempts to understand things.
It's just, it would demand such elaborate explanation (like this one) that I percieve as only diming and not shining light.
With hope that my "Yawn"s and "BS"s understood by you at least partially correct.
Again. With Assembly Theory as example.
Even if that theory viable. Or even precisely correct. It would need tons of heavy lifting. In engineering.
Like that Einstain's formula -- E = mc^2, simple isn't it? But it needed whole Manhattan Project to accomplish.
Evolution has saved the answers to 2 billion years of encountered problems in our DNA. Why would you believe that replicating the properties of life mechanically or with AI would be simple? Yes, the "end algorithm" seems simple enough "persist and replicate", but it took billions of failed "Manhattan projects" to accomplish... and only one has reached the language of an LLM level. It wasn't a goal. It wasn't a purpose. It "emerged" as a solution to a "specific" problem to a "particular" set of limitations. It was one (of possibly many) solutions.
ps - the ability to store memories in stone/ architecture/ writing outside of ourselves has only existed for a few thousand years (since cave and rock art). It's going to take time. Media will evolve as technology evolves. So will Transhumanism.

Got transhumanism?

Did you run that through an LLM?

Lee Cronin is probably the best thing that's come out Little Britain in a while. He should not go back ;-)
You chemists need to stick together. ;)
//Did you run that through an LLM?
What for?
To recieve Artifical Stupidity?)))
And. Yap.
You paraphrasing exactly my criticizm of Assembly Theory -- that that is engineering task, not theory building. ;-)
BS.
It need Conscious Efforts.
Will not happen by itself.
