Sure, but if you didn't want anything then you wouldn't do anything. 
So if something is going to behave intelligently then it's got to have 
some emotions, the more intelligent the behavior the more complex the 
emotions.

That's why you always get emotion with intelligence regardless of if 
you want it or not.

A desire to win isan emotion,and if an AI gets intelligent at doing 
things besides winning at Go then its emotions will become more complex.


But you can see that my point is how narrow the emotion can be.  And I 
think that's the case with these chatbots.  Their only drive is to 
string together words meeting some programmed standards of relevance and 
grammar.  Your general point that that intelligence entails emotion 
really depends on scope of action.  An AI driving a Mars Rover will have 
much more robust set of emotions because it will have many goals which 
can conflict.  A chatbot, not so much; certainly not the emotions that 
it seems to express, like "I want to human." or "I'm offended by that 
question."

I agree with anyone who wants to opt out the Sky Guy. It's ok by me, but morals 
are all about a greater than human source, whether spirits, or whomever. 
However for human history the tribal behavior was governed by the uber-natural. 
That is not up for dispute, whether it involved human sacrifice, or how to 
raise kiddies, or tap dancing. That is where morals and concepts about good and 
evil come from.  Ethics are a different beast and have been derived from the 
Greeks upon how societal members behaved toward each other. You want to 
appropriate the Supernatural for themselves, Yes, Progressives believe that 
THEY are gods and the rest of us buffoons, hence your verbiage.

Progressives don't change their ways out of ideology, a faith movement Without 
a god. Thus, improvements in science have no bearing about when or where or if 
to wear masks, as in how effective? You yourself were worried about diverting 
from the glories of vaccinations, two summers ago, for my heinous opinion that 
we should also invest in cures. Fortunately, for the stockholders at Pfizer, 
they ignored your sage advice and went ahead with research on Paxlovid, a real 
money maker! Lessens severity of the Covid crud you know $$$ whoo-hoo!

So what was Trump's advice? Remind me. I am sure to feel degraded. On the other 
had you deliberately believe the Fine People NBC hoax from 2017, rather than 
the actual, BBC-corrected video, correct?
NY Daily News 2017-President Trump calls white supremacists ‘very fine people,’ 
blames Charlottesville on ‘both sides’ in bizarre Trump Tower tirade – New York 
Daily News (nydailynews.com)
BBC on Joe's 2020 convention speech. Please scroll down to #3 for that. The 
video was deliberately fucked up by NBC to please you, the hungry, obedient, 
and willingly gullible audience. H'yar ya go pardner!
DNC 2020: Joe Biden convention speech fact-checked - BBC News
I love the UK news JC!! I do because they abhor Yanks with such passion, 
they'll go after us all! Wonderful opportunity to, as the British say, "Take 
the piss out of them!"  They love that, so because they hate us equally John, I 
get news items that get banned over here at your Dem-loyal media. It's the gift 
that keeps on giving. 
Has Trumpo said anything wrong?? Yeah he claimed he didn't lose the 2020 
election, but where is his evidence. 
You need to be an engineer more and focus on problem-solving and technology to 
fix human woes, me lad!!

You have neglected to utilize the proper progressive ideologies' correct,

Also, your crime rate in the cities using fine judges and DA's in dem-run

Re: You were told wrong info if you were told I didn’t feel things

2023-02-24 Thread Jason Resch
We can't say really say what it is or isn't , nor can we say which
properties it has or doesn't on the basis of its design.

Neural network training is universal in the functions it can learn. Neural
networks themselves are universal function approximators. And finally,
prediction of the next symbol given a sequence of symbols is an algorithm
for universal intelligence.

We have put all three of these together in the building of this Large
Language Model (LLM). I think it is more accurate to view these systems and
reality models, as they can model not only patterns of language, but
elements of reality that generate language or elements of reality that can
be described by language.

Consider for example, the fact that we can ask these models to mimick the
thought processes of a college professor, a comedian, a child, a python
programmer, a chess player, a French speaker, etc. If the LLM has the
capacity to model these arbitrary minds to arbitrary degrees of fidelity, a
fidelity which only improves as we give it more data to learn from, then
how confident can we be that we haven't produced something with it the
capacity to emulate a mind that has emotions?

At some point it will either have emotions when it models certain minds or
else we've created a philosophical zombie, with all the problems those
imply. I wouldn't view the LLM as a mind, but rather a meta-mind, one
having the capacity to invoke arbitrary minds as part of maximizing it's
ability to accurately predict sequences if symbols. This means certain
queries may invoke different kinds and sorts of minds, having different
emotional capacities and potentials.

There's nothing programming-wise or architecture-wise that needs to be
added to get to that point. Imagine a LLM with an arbitrarily larger number
of parameters in it's model, and we ask it to simulate a conversation
between Einstein and Newton. The most accurate possible way of generating
the conversation would involve modeling (simulating/emulating) their brains
directly. We cannot rule out that the LLM would employ this strategy. At
what level of fidelity would the LLM's approximation of Einstein's brain
have emotional states? If the argument turned heated, would not both
Einstein's and Newton's emotional states have to be accurately simulated by
the model?

The question we face now is whether this line has already been crossed and
if and when we do cross this line, how would we know?

There is no need to invent an emotional circuit because emotion comes with
intelligence whether you like it or not. Consciousness is the way data
feels when it is processed intelligently.

Yes, that idea conforms to everything that has the Spudboy label, everybody
except Mr. Spudboy is not only evil but also incredibly stupid and
constantly does things that are counterproductive, and yet in spite of
these egregious blunders the enemy somehow continues to get more powerful
and more threatening so we need to take drastic measures to defeat them.
And apparently there are millions of people in the USA just like you, and
Trump knows how to make them dance to his tune.

Yeah yeah we've heard it all before… You hate communism but you hate
capitalism even more, you hate everybody and everything so it's no wonder
you're a Trump fan because the only thing Trump knows how to do is use
people's hate to manipulate them. Hate is the only emotion I've ever seen
Donald Trump display, ChatGPT has a wider range.

You mean so Biden could take advantage of a photo opportunity like Trump
did even though he would just get in the way of the rescue and it was Trump
who rolled back railroad safety standards that could've prevented the
accident in the first place?
