Prý má být lehká, zapomenutelná, tak akorát tupá, aby vám nerušila trávení. Jako by dovolená byla čas, který se má nějak přežít, protrpět v přiměřeném poloomámení mezi dvěma koupelemi.

  6. David Chalmers explores whether machines can achieve true consciousness. The philosopher discusses the "hard problem" of consciousness and why nothing fundamentally prevents AI from becoming conscious (or even redesigning itself). Surprisingly engaging convo w Chris Hayes. #AI #Philosophy #Consciousness #DavidChalmers #CognitiveScience #LLMs #NeuralNetworks #douglashofstadter youtu.be/NgDIG8u1-CA

  16. So hey, Fediverse. I did a thing that's just the minutest possible first step of a plan I first dreamed up in 1996. It's an implementation of Douglas Hofstadter's parallel terraced scan in preparation for a lot more work in that direction.

  36. Found in the boxes. I first read this in 1982 (this very copy! The Amidala bookmark is more recent) and I'm continually surprised how much of his later research program was explicitly laid out here.

    I *last* read it sometime in the 80's, probably, but there's a lot of fraying tape on it, because I read it often enough to start wearing out the cover. So, since I'm retracing his footsteps now, I figured it was probably time to reread it.
