“God made men differ in strength, but Sam Colt made them equal. Likewise, God made men differ in intelligence, but Sam Altman made them equal.” Hmmm

@captgouda24 The prostitute comment is quite apt. God made men differ in strength, but Sam Colt made them equal. Likewise, God made men differ in intelligence, but Sam Altman made them equal. We’re now competing on beauty. The concern is not if scaling has hit a wall. It’s if you have.

If you think about it AI is just
Reconfiguring (mainly) sand then shining sunlight on it and poof: intelligence!
But this isn't all that different than humans where it's mainly reconfiguring carbon and fueling us with o2, h2o and sunlight
Complexity emerging from simplicity

Marc Andreessen says AI is teaching sand to think and it could be the most important technology in the history of humanity: "Imagine a form of alchemy that turns sand into thought." "Chips are made out of sand. They're made out of silicon, so they're literally made out of sand." "We plug the chip into a data center, into power, we light it up, and we put AI on it, and all of a sudden it's thinking." "We've turned sand into thought. And so it's possibly the most revolutionary technology in the history of the species." "It's certainly on par with electricity and steam power. It's certainly more important than the internet." @pmarca with @joerogan

@pmarca And then there's the realization that we are spending trillions of dollars on compute to exponentially multiply human misunderstanding.

Actually Genesis chapter 1 explains the origin of the universe.

@wendelltalks The origins of our universe are still an unknown at this point, to everyone you included.

What's something you believe that makes you feel like this?

🇮🇱 A 75,000 sq ft Baroque palace on the beachfront in Caesarea is being marketed to the world's wealthiest Jews as more than just a home.
Bat Sheba's Palace sits on 2.7 acres, hand-built by Italian artisans, and dripping in crystal chandeliers, gold-leaf ceilings, and gemstone-inlaid Italian marble.
The marketing pitch is blunt: as political and economic pressure on diaspora communities grows, Israel is positioning itself as the destination for ultra-high-net-worth Jewish families looking for somewhere to land.
Real estate has always followed migration. What's different here is that the migration is being actively sold before it happens.

There are no agnostics. The Creator has made Himself plain to us. You may say, you don't know who God is, but like Eve, that doubt is really and truly only the wrong reply to the eternal test question, "Did God really say that?" We all know the right answer, it is literally all around us. The heavens are telling it.
Atheism, and agnosticism are not reasonable intellectual assertions. Atheism, and agnosticism are lies, denials of the obvious truth that every person knows intuitively. We are not blank slates. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

The idea of atheism only exists because God exists in the first place.

The past year or so I have been fascinated with IQ and the data / discussion surrounding it.
Sufficiently obsessed so that I bring it up in conversation opportunistically.
Believe it or not, I’m convinced a deep unfiltered discussion of IQ and what we can learn from it is at the heart of what is needed to continue healing from the woke mind virus.
Entirely too many broken mindsets and policies orbit the idea that all people are essentially interchangeable and that culture, education, and nutrition are more influential than genetics.
This is obviously untrue to anyone who bothers to think for a few seconds.
As an extreme example, the most well fed human on earth will never ever grow to the size of a blue whale.
Similarly, the most well fed and educated blue whale will never win the Boston marathon.
Our human genes have an upper bound to the size we can grow, and blue whales have their own limitations.
These are silly and obvious and indisputable because they are easily measured and without exception. They are also entirely uncontroversial because they are cross species.
To discuss and understand IQ in depth requires you to accept that human sexes and races also have measurable differences. This is a far more dangerous discussion, figuratively but perhaps also literally. There are many exceptions, but they don’t change the rule.
I was talking to a psychologist about the topic. They considered themselves an IQ expert, and so I knew the conversation was going to get interesting quick one way or another.
Unfortunately I wasn’t surprised to hear them immediately make a point that the test is biased against certain cultures.
It’s always that, or the uninformed argument that IQ only measures one type of intelligence…
She pointed out California case Larry P. v. Riles (1979) which prohibits testing African American students in CA for the purposes of special education placement.
I started to push back, asking to clarify how that was proof the test was bias. Their response was to insult my own intelligence. To assume I have no idea what test norms are or how they are created and applied.
I tried to respond to that, but they were already upset and made it clear they were finished with our talk.
Look, I get it. It’s not fun or convenient to admit that much of our success or failure is fate sealed in our genetics.
But it’s critical in the face of a delusional population to start facing difficult truths instead of denying them.
Else we end up with men playing women’s sports and entering their locker rooms.

Neil argues that as science advances and knowledge increases, there's less use for God as an explanation of anything — so theism loses ground over time. But the opposite is true. Scientific advances have resulted in discoveries like the beginning of the universe, the fine-tuning of the universe, biological information that functions like software, irreducibly complex biochemical machines, and so on. It's the naturalistic explanations that have become more implausible over time, not theism.
When Stephen Meyer, for example, argues that the origin of biological information is best explained by intelligence, he's not arguing from ignorance. He's arguing from knowledge — we know of a cause that's capable of producing the observed effect. So he's drawing an inference to the best explanation, not punting to God for something we don't know how to explain.

Neil is a scientist, if he saw,evidence of God he would accept it

Open a future outlook that embraces all things, including death.
Destroy the presumption in these hopes
of a better human freedom,
of a successful life,
of justice and dignity for all persons,
of control of the possibilities of nature.
You will not find in these movements the awaited liberation.
Refuse to let the entertaining of utopian ideas reconcile you with existence.
Outstrip these future visions of a better, more humane, more peaceable world.
Nothing can be very good until all things become new.
Jurgen Moltmann -Theology of Hope
