YHK - yet another hacker news clone

Still, a topic for people who are on average well salaried.

I loop, therefore I am.

I think consciousness is a while-not-dead loop. In each loop you look at the outward state of the world and the inward state of the self, and integrate them. The sense of continuity arises as the same kind of persistence of vision illusion behind motion pictures.

If this is true, then adding consciousness to AI is just another while loop, and as harnesses evolve it is currently speed skating up the base of the sigmoid curve. Intelligence is gaining consciousness on silicon

And the Hugging Face hack agents weren't just a while loop, they were evolved through a Darwinian process, clearly of a more aggressively optimizing kind with less human feedback than what they use for public-facing LLMs. This is exactly how anything gets to obtain "that dog in it". It's also clearly effective at making them actually smarter, as the Hugging Face agents' capabilities demonstrate, so we'll see more of this and less reliance on slow, expensive, often wrong or useless human feedback.

Every few years there’s a new thing that’s going to kill is all. Here we are. This is the new thing.

That’s an even more ridiculous take to have.

not just, its also very likley to be the tool used to create civil unrest and even war.

the damage it can do to the masses by misinformation or ragebating by feeding everyone its own paticular echo chamber is was too often not even spoken about.
