That vague mystical nonsense... Who would have thought that a microgram of this nonsense could contain all the information necessary to create human being? But I guess that's what we've proved undisputably though, right? Can we recreate the event? No? Oh well, that won't stop me from believing! ;)

Q: Looking for a YA 2000’s book, sci fi

AllieI read this book as a pre teen in the early 2000’s. I remember a magical horse creature (zephyr, unicorn, something) being prominent and a significant scene involved fire. There were human child(ren) as the protagonist and there were time travel/save the world themes, but not to “distant” (past o...

Q: Kant , phenomena and noumena?

Lwa DuaKant draws a dividing line between phenomena, which are perceptions that are formed through our senses after the mind organizes them, and noumena, which is “reality in itself” that remains elusive to our direct perception. Human knowledge is not merely a reflection of what the senses transmit, bu...

@HippoSawrUs I don't blame you. It's nice to have encyclopedias on paper. I remember handling Encyclopaedia Britannica at the library before the Internet era, which probably also had that see-through layers of human anatomy.
Wed 21:16
@HippoSawrUs Oh yeah! The layers of the human body. Awesome!

I suspect a human wrote the question, and the answer is from an LLM to try and get some rep ?
Wed 17:38
@Mitch You keep saying that and you maybe right. Now I'm more pumped up than ever to study machine learning. But this week I need to finish a project. Really nice chat, human Mitch (despite your cat avatar), hope you have a good rest of the week as a human.
Wed 17:33
2) RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) is a method to 'fix up' or rather to 'pick the best of multiple alternative responses' that most of the LLMs use (this involve having humans rate many possible responses and rank them and uses these rankings to train a much small model.
Wed 17:22
So I would see that an AI programmer genius is probably similar to Mr. Frankenstein engineering his monster from simulated parts of the human mind (not brain).
Wed 17:18
@Mitch I'm pretty sure ChatGPT is fed with 1) human constructed "output templates" paired with many "types of queries" as well as 2) "ontological categories" and "essential connections in reality" onto which words are being mapped and maybe even 3) books like Jordan Peterson's Maps of Meaning and WorldBook Encylopedia to structure reality as humans see it. And the statistics are second level stuff.
Wed 16:56
less and less randomness, means it can mostly make sense of it, with very small leaps, but the structure that is imposed by the statistics is not human-like intelligence.
Wed 16:52
@Mitch Yes, which really piqued my interest to learn how generative LLM work and to know theoretically how educated human can beat them. Because if we cannot, then I would have to start over in my philosophizing, like @Robusto was saying: Sisyphus starts over when the boulder goes back all the way down.
Wed 15:15
OK. I'm just making sure that the spams following this clear pattern are either removed quickly enough before they are caught by SD, or are caught by SD and just lack the last flag from human. If that is true, maybe that's already the best we can do for now.
Wed 15:12
Are we really just lacking the last human flag? Are all spams today on SU (which follow a clear pattern) caught by SD?
Wed 14:53
@JourneymanGeek Even with more flags, we need people on the front page around the clock to provide that last human flag. I suppose it's a good thing SD is designed conservatively, to require that last human check. I haven't looked into its algorithms to see whether a 100% confidence level is even possible, or how possible it is.

@ItalianPhilosopher I don't want to get into a drawn-out discussion in the comment section about this, but my claim was not that "Japan was fond of war crimes". The point is that the value of a human life was extremely low in Japanese society, for cultural, social and pure population reasons. The basis of Japanese philosophy, to serve, and to serve unwaveringly, without regard for one's own life or those of others, will inevitably generate an attitude that results in actions we now call "war crimes". Especially coupled with Japanese ideas of racial superiority and divine favour.

@Robusto Only now do I feel computer ethics to be necessary. But it's now even harder to predict whether the technology I'm working on (should I work in the AI field) will be used for reducing human freedom. I wonder how ethicists navigate through proper R&D for dual-purpose technology (which also includes GPS, satellite, nuclear, or CRISPR).

Q: 1950s Venus expedition - Venusians are human

Mike Stonec1960 I read a novel (possibly a Badger Book) about an expedition to Venus. The ship was called the Veneris and was "christened" by the Queen of England. Venus is like Earth was in the dinosaur age, but with human inhabitants who apparently migrated there from Atlantis or some other previous civi...

I tried to report the missing o at sourceforge.net/p/koma-script/tickets . But there I only get the sourceforge logo and a message from Cloudflare that it is checked whether I am a human. (Apparently it is difficult to consider me as a human being, because otherwise at some point something else would be displayed...)

The model, now published in Nature Human Behaviour, demonstrates that people focus not by concentrating extra hard on a subject, but by ignoring inputs that were distracting in the past.

The reading is simple: Jesus is the Firstborn of “all creation” (pas ktisis). The meaning is clear: Jesus is the first resurrected Person from the “entire humanity” (no connection to animals or inanimate things here). Paul defines his own term here: “the gospel proclaimed to ‘every creature’ (pas ktisis) under heaven” (Col 1:23). We know the gospel is preached only to human beings; not to any animals or inanimate things. Mark also says the same thing: “preach the gospel to the ‘all creation’ (pas ktisis)”.
Tue 16:45
I went to Mark 16:15 because “pas ktisis” is mentioned there. You accused me of going outside Pauline writings, yet you yourself went to Revelation 5:13. That is okay with me. But the terminology used in there is not “pas ktisis” but “pas ktisma”. The latter refers to all the animate things including non-human living things. It doesn’t appear to include inanimate things which “ta panta” includes also. So I am waiting yet to be corrected by you.

The key starting points are these: 1) human nature has a concupiscence problem; 2) God has done all he can to love us; 3) we as rational creature are given dignity to fix our concupiscence problem in a rational manner with God's assistance (if we receive it); 4) all humans are IN a "punishment" already (whether in Christ or not): decaying body after middle age ending in death.
Tue 12:39
@Wyrsa I think "temporal punishment" is an unfortunate term OR we moderns project our legalism onto the term. After reading the answer, and especially after listening to Eleonore Stump about divine love and the human condition, I don't see it as legalistic anymore.
Tue 12:19
It's not like it's even unique to old people. There is plenty people who go with "it hasn't happened to me yet, therefore, it probably won't happen". If she avoided being recognised, it could just be down to human nature.

So that is really it. It is not that I disagree with Vincent, per se. But I do think that there are some assumptions made that are not totally dependent on the episdoes of Matthew 21, Luke 19, or Mark 11. I do not find it likely that the hearer of these words would find much authority behind the words, "the Lord needs them" if he was thinking of a human lord, unless that human lord also be his Lord. But again, that is not stated in the text.

@VincentWong The point is: There is nothing in the context that suggests that the owner of the donkey is a self professing Christian. It is likely that Christ intervened in some supernatural way by suplanting something into their mind and heart, but that does not mean that the owner acknowledged Christ as "Lord." It requires a considerable amount of imagination to deduce that your specific type of "divine intervention" must be present in the text, when it could just as easily be Christ doing the intervening (of which normal human Lords are not able to do).

A: Is the term “Lord” in Matt. 21:1-3 a generic use, or is there something richer behind it's usage? Is there an allusion to Ex. 22:1-15?

Vincent WongThe term "Lord", in Hebrew "Adonai" (Strong's 113 in the Old Testament) and Greek "Kyrios" (Strong's 2962 in the New Testament), refers to both human figures and deities. It's meaning must be discerned within the context. In the Old Testament, the term "Lord" frequently represents the sacred name...
