Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?

Good, that was on purpose.

  • Let’s put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we’re far, far, far away from it.

    As far as the iron age was from the metal alloys used in the Space Shuttle.

    Talking about AGI simulating higher intelligence at the level of a dog or a cat, dear I say a pigeon or a crow is as far fetched as expecting ancient Egyptians to harness the power of the atom.










  • laziness is a symptom IMO, often a self-protection mechanism out of fear.
    I’ve met many people that decided they’ll rather not do the thing than see themselves fail and prove whomever triggered that fear right.

    Also IMO, when wired differently, some tasks are easier and some tasks take more work, but if we let ourselves (and others) judge us for how easy or hard a task is for us, we condition ourselves to avoid the latter.

    Then again, I know people that had the right support behind them, and even though they initially sucked donkey balls at the thing, they powered through it and became mediocre, but very happy.

    I want to be mediocre and happy. :)

    Note: There’s no judge harsher than ourselves.
