  • The second one just seems contradictory tbh, how can it be both?

    Well that’s the nature of paradoxes, isn’t it? But paradox philosophy is a whole 'nother can of worms and a very long discussion in of itself, though you’ve probably encountered some examples before, such as this one:

    The next sentence is true. The prior sentence is false.

    It results in an endless loop. Contradictory, yes, yet both sentences still exist, and are sentences.

    The third one is interesting - but subjectively feeling like we have free will isn’t the same as objectively having it.

    Yes, true, but the point of that third one is that the result would be the same in the sense that in both cases, humans believe they have free will, and therefore their actions are determined by that, whether or not that path was outlined beforehand by a being we cannot fathom / fully comprehend or not. The actions will still become as they are.

    I’ve also heard this third argument combined a bit with the second one as an attempt to better make sense of the paradox (although by doing so, it’s really not a paradox anymore), and that is that God knows all possible paths humans would take, but not necessarily which one / God made infinite path he knows the outcome of but we are free to pick which one we take.

    This issue I have with that one is that it’s no longer a truly full omniscient being at that point.




  • It’s funny because that means something like freaking Neurosama made by a YouTuber could probably do better at AGI than these multi billion dollar companies due to it being designed so it can modify it’s own code depending on the task given (and at one point, doing so while not directly prompted).

    Of course, this makes Neurosama completely useless at work focused tasks outside of coding, because it can and does refuse to do things on purpose.

    And that’s exactly why you won’t see AGI coming from any huge business corporation - because they’re trying to make something that replaces workers, rather than something that has no direct purpose.

    (Disclaimer - this is not to say Neurosama is AGI in any way, just that it could probably do the tasks much better than the mainstream AIs can, because it has been build with flexibility and adaptability in mind.)
