Everything relevant to the thought... In popular media, there is often a connection drawn between the advent of awareness in artificial agents and those same agents simultaneously achieving human or superhuman level intelligence. ...
... We find that all three theories specifically relate conscious function to some aspect of domain-general intelligence in humans. ...
... Given this apparent trend, we use the motivating example of mental time travel in humans to propose ways in which insights from each of the three theories may be combined into a unified model. ...

... I think most Americans underestimate how much more dysfunctional our constitutional/political system could become. I think people mostly still think about the changes of the last 30 years in terms of the tone of political arguments getting nastier: annoying but ultimately not that important. ...
... But I think the governments ability to deal proactively with emerging problems has been degraded significantly. Many aspects of government are coasting along, overseen by agencies created between 1932 and 1972 but whose enabling legislation is increasingly out of date. ...
... Meanwhile I think we are going to continue to have more government shutdowns, 1/6 style chaos, etc. at some point this will coincide with an emergency and it will cause big problems. ...

... Yes, I know the HODLers see it as a buying opportunity, and they could be right — not doing price predictions, just trying to think this through 1/ First: crypto faithful comparing this to "crypto winter" of 2017-18, which was comparable in percentage terms. ...

If I'm reading the numbers right, around 800K bitcoins mined in 2021; at $50K each, that's around 0.2% of US GDP 5/ By contrast, residential investment peaked at almost 7% of GDP and fell by more than 4% 6/ https://t.co/PDSNM4BV7l And there surely isn't enough leveraged buying of crypto to create 2008 ...

... A lot of people think that the size of the American housing "bubble" in 2005 made a housing crash inevitable. But if you compare the US to peer nations this isn't so obvious. https://t.co/hGWTzTUZyN https://t.co/HsqHfSaqxU Canada, the UK, and France all had bigger housing booms than the US. ...
... I also think this chart is consistent with the explanation I prefer—that causation mostly runs from bad macroeconomic policy to a housing crash, rather than the other way around. ...
... And that's what I think you see in this chart. Tight money put downward pressure on home prices throughout the Eurozone, but the effect was biggest for countries like Spain and Italy whose economies were otherwise most negatively affected by ECB policies. ...
... So return to to the US: most people think the size of the housing bust meant the Fed was powerless to prevent the Great Recession. I think this is backwards. If the Fed had cut rates more aggressively in 2007 and early 2008, we would have had a much smaller housing downturn. ...

... The human species nowadays has so many tools to help with all sorts of tasks but not a de-factor or even a popular tool to help day-to-day thinking? Why? Is that because our ways of thinking are so different from each other? ...
... Or is it because for most of us, our thinking naturally lacks structure or even cohesiveness? One of the main missions of the mind net is to solve that tooling problem. ...

... High-level concepts and relationships between them exist linguistically in our brains, and cognitive functions based on these concepts and relationships are also encoded in sentences-like linguistic memories. Our brains can a) store models of the world in the sentences like linguistic memory. ...
... High-level human cognitive functions are the enterprise of our braining employing these two faculties. We don't have dedicated circuitries for each model expressed in linguistic memory, we just need the basic circuitries for language processing. ...

... This is how humans reached this level of intelligence. In some sense, language and its syntax provides the programming language for brains and reduced the need for specialized neural circuitries. ...
... To reach the same level of intelligence without a vastly larger number of neural circuitries in artificial neuron networks, they need to be able to do the same thing. . ...

... The brain uses a mental language to represent and organize complex ideas and concepts. This mental language is thought to be distinct from natural languages like English or Spanish, and it is believed to be the medium through which we think and process information. ...
... According to the LOTH, the structure and content of this mental language are shaped by the structure and content of the natural languages that we learn, but it is not identical to any one natural language. ...
... Instead, it is thought to be a universal language that is used by all humans to represent and process complex ideas. Link: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/language-thought/ ...
