Thank goodness AI is going to transform healthcare!!!

I had a 'conversation' with Gemini about this. Ultimately, Gemini 'concluded':

"When you strip away the layers of strategic abstraction, the analysis concludes that OpenAI's actual, announced strategy for de-commoditizing LLMs is to pursue the market for an extra fancy pornbot."

Hello! No question (amongst some) that we're in a hype cycle and that LLMs are perhaps the most visible face of this hype cycle. The fact remains, however, that there is a great deal in AI that is not LLM.

BDI agents are AI but not LLMs. Swarm intelligence is AI but not LLM. The entirety of symbolic AI is not LLM.

For the record, New Mexico is all blue. We have a different thing going on.

Americans are morons and we deserve every single stupid thing that we do to ourselves.

What's the point?

NHS: "I'm Sorry, Your Not Worth Keeping Alive"

I love this for Trump voters

Oh. One more "one more thing"... thank you! Super great exchange.

Sorry. One more thing. When you say "simulation" and I say "pondering" I think we're talking about essentially the same thing. Yes?

The true me *is* the eternal consciousness. The true you *is* the eternal consciousness. In this way, there is no you and me. There is only the eternal consciousness. We can return to our eternal self any time. Through, as you say, unconditional love. This is the lesson of all the great teachers.

The eternal consciousness, in understanding itself, dreams us and all we experience. But the eternal consciousness doesn't dream as we think of it. The dreams are ponderings. We are the eternal consciousness pondering itself.

If no, then there is no beginning and no end. There is just eternity. And in eternity, time has no meaning. And whatever it is that our consciousness emerges from is the eternal consciousness.

One of the fundamental questions is whether you believe something can spontaneously emerge from nothing. If yes, then perhaps there is no eternal anything. Stuff comes into existence. Time goes by. Everything winds down.

The eternal consciousness knows no time. There is no future. There is no past. There is nothing separate from the eternal. The eternal ponders and the universe is born.

The first sentence is spot on - LLMs are never going to reach AGI all by themselves. The rest would be fodder for a fascinating conversation!
