00:02:16 ##forth <veltas> I mean you look at the roman empire, they had a few good emperors and a lot of bad emperors. But a lot of those bad emperors were never really in charge anyway.
00:02:20 ##forth <veltas> Got to look out for those bad emperors that *are* in charge
00:03:43 ##forth <KipIngram> How do you know not to do something again if you don't know how bad it went the last time it was tried?
00:04:55 ##forth <thrig> https://thrig.me/tmp/history.jpg
00:05:25 ##forth <veltas> True that
00:05:38 ##forth <KipIngram> Oh man. Yeah.
00:05:54 ##forth <KipIngram> At least the ones that don't know get to be excited on the way in.
00:20:57 ##forth <veltas> But how close are we to AGI? Does anyone here know a lot about AI research?
00:26:42 ##forth <thrig> someone pinned it to 100 billion in profits, which seems much in the line of "AI as a term invented to get money"
00:40:20 ##forth <nmz-> AGI requires more than a word pattern guesser
00:41:00 ##forth <nmz-> when you think, your prefrontal cortex imagines, it plays games, it simulates several realities and then tells you what's going to happen, you then translate that into words
00:41:28 ##forth <nmz-> LLMs are text based, they don't know what a picture is, they don't know what graphics are
03:07:14 ##forth <KipIngram> Also, the way you know how to simulate those realities is by having operated in the world - moved your body around, interacted with things, etc. - that's how you know how these simulations are likely to go. So it may be that real intelligence requires that as well.
04:03:58 ##forth <nmz-> that's a physics thing then
04:04:36 ##forth <nmz-> which is a part of the simulated game thing
04:45:11 ##forth <Russtopia> Hello! Saw the posting on lemmy about the gforth bot!
04:45:28 ##forth <Russtopia> Now... to learn some gforth :p
04:45:43 ##forth <Russtopia> !gforth
04:52:22 ##forth <Russtopia> Uhm... !gforth .s
05:45:53 ##forth <nmz-> and he gone
05:45:58 ##forth <nmz-> shame, shame

06:21:41 ##forth <xentrac> nmz-: probably nobody knows what AGI requires because probably nobody has built one yet
06:22:28 ##forth <xentrac> airplanes don't have to flap their wings
08:24:30 ##forth <nmz-> xentrac: yeah... but at least I can tell via how I think
09:33:44 ##forth <veltas> I'd expect experts to have predictions for how much longer it will take, with a lot of variability
09:34:05 ##forth <veltas> Hard to find experts and not just hype monsters, though
09:45:01 ##forth <veltas> I'm going to have to find a project to do in konilo
09:45:08 ##forth <veltas> Probably best way to learn it
12:19:27 ##forth <xentrac> nmz-: if introspection were sufficient to understand the mind, we'd have had AGI about 60 years ago
12:20:16 ##forth <xentrac> also much less debate about philosophy and psychology

20:08:31 ##forth <xentrac> (this behavior is required by the Forth standard, which is hosted on the same web server as the GForth documentation because of the large overlap in contributors)
20:19:36 ##forth <pgimeno> yes, it was discussed some weeks ago I believe
20:20:30 ##forth <pgimeno> though the extra info about the contributors overlay is new :)
20:20:37 ##forth <pgimeno> to me at least
20:20:56 ##forth <pgimeno> overlap*
20:23:05 ##forth <xentrac> I noticed this when the server went down for a few days recently
