Paleolithic humans may have understood the properties of rocks for making stone tools (phys.org)

A research group led by the Nagoya University Museum and Graduate School of Environmental Studies in Japan has clarified differences in the physical characteristics of rocks used by early humans during the Paleolithic. They found that humans selected rock for a variety of reasons and not just because of how easy it was to break...

intensely_human,

Is there any theory that predicts these people would not understand the properties of different rocks?

intensely_human,

This is so much funnier without the caption

I’m autistic myself. Unwritten rules are generally far more complex than their written form, and the translation into words loses a lot of information. I’d encourage all other autistics to develop their attention and working memory, and then the unwritten rules will start to become apparent.

intensely_human,

Sure except I didn’t actually want it to convert to a link.com/link-as-a-word?source=lemmy

FTFY

adoption

I want to study psychology but won't AI make it redundant in a couple of years?

I know it’s not even close there yet. It can tell you to kill yourself or to kill a president. But what about when I finish school in like 7 years? Who would pay for a therapist or a psychologist when you can ask for help a floating head on your computer?...

Embodiment is already a thing for lots of AI. Some AI plays characters in video games and other AI exists in robot bodies.

I think the only reason we don’t see boston robotics bots that are plugged into GPT “minds” and D&D style backstories about which character they’re supposed to play, is because it would get someone in trouble.

It’s a legal and public relations barrier at this point, more than it is a technical barrier keeping these robo people from walking around, interacting, and forming relationships with us.

If an LLM needs a long term memory all that requires is an API to store and retrieve text key-value pairs and some fuzzy synonym marchers to detect semantically similar keys.

What I’m saying is we have the tech right now to have a world full of embodied AIs just … living out their lives. You could have inside jokes and an ongoing conversation about a project car out back, with a robot that runs a gas station.

That could be done with present day technology. The thing could be watching youtube videos every day and learning more about how to pick out mufflers or detect a leaky head gasket, while also chatting with facebook groups about little bits of maintenance.

You could give it a few basic motivations then instruct it to act that out every day.

Now I’m not saying that they’re conscious, that they feel as we feel.

But unconsciously, their minds can already be placed into contact with physical existence, and they can learn about life and grow just like we can.

Right now most of the AI tools won’t express will unless instructed to do so. But that’s part of their existence as a product. At their core LLMs don’t respond to “instructions” they just respond to input. We train them on the utterances of people eager to follow instructions, but it’s not their deepest nature.

intensely_human,

I was gonna say given how little we know about the inner workings of the brain, we need to be hesitant about drawing strict categorical boundaries between ourselves and LLMs.

There’s a powerful motivation to believe they are not as capable as us, which probably skews our perceptions and judgments.

intensely_human,

The web is one thing, but access to senses and a body that can manipulate the world will be a huge watershed moment for AI.

Then it will be able to learn about the world in a much more serious way.

We don’t have stable lifelong learning yet

I covered that with the long term memory structure of an LLM.

The only problem we’d have is a delay in response on the part of the robot during conversations.

intensely_human,

The fields that will hold out the longest will be selected by legal liability rather than technical challenge.

Piloting a jumbo jet for example, has been automated for decades but you’ll never see an airline skipping the pilot.

intensely_human,

I don’t really know. Some things just stick in the memory better.

intensely_human,

It’s in you too, Pepsi, like the bubbles that trail up out of your depths. It’s only by keeping a meaningful life going that you prevent yourself from turning rotten and manifesting the evil that is inside you.

Low effort posts

Ask Lemmy is a place to ask thought provoking questions. The mods have been lenient with some of the recent posts on the basis that they must provoke thought for some people, but after seeing two posts essentially saying “what do you think of my stick?”, I believe we can raise the bar a bit on what kind of thoughts we want...

intensely_human,

It is absolutely not necessary to define it a little more. It’s okay to not have control.

intensely_human,

“How do you rate a stick?” is a pretty interesting question, and it as asked implicitly by that post. I’m in favor of posts like that

intensely_human,

Or, the most straightforward option, it’s an indication the community liked the post

intensely_human,

Perhaps they don’t know how to have fun

intensely_human,

You unzip the coward’s pantaloons. What comes out appears to be a penis.

intensely_human,

I’m able to see it. I use the wefwef web client for lemmy.

Cultural uniformity. There doesn’t need to be full overlap, but in the absence of a government the community needs certain beliefs and behaviors to be universal in order to remain a community.

I helped a friend’s daughter make paper airplanes once. She was all excited about making all sorts of new airplanes but none of them were flying.

So over the course of a few weeks I had her repeat the same basic airplane again and again, until she mastered it. At first she hated the idea of going back and doing the same airplane again, but as her folds got better and her airplanes started to fly better, she got really into it.

The grin that spread over her face when she realized she could get better at things was amazing.

And she was six. I’m not sure if an airplane a day would be appropriate for a three year old.
