This Earth, only home i will ever have had, isn’t truly mine. No, i’m just a passerby here … it might yours if you don’t feel how weird, how wrong it is.

  • What works well thrives, loves, lives and prosper. What doesn’t and hates, eventually is superseded, or destroys itself, or shrinks and dies.
    This applies to ideas, political movements, civilizations and even species. Life is a self-organizing mechanism, operating throughout the universe, that, although for a time produces suffering, does eventually find solutions against illnesses. By doing so, it rearranges itself into better configurations.

    i do want to believe in a better future and because of that i don’t even believe that the Big Bang Theory, with its conclusion of the heat death of the universe, is entirely true.



  • i do believe we should protect the environment that we destroyed in part unfortunately. On top of that, with greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are going toward an almost extinction of humanity so that’s the main question.

    Now, it is futile to concentrate on small challenges and i do believe this one with one or two wolves and a tiny piece of land is blown out of proportion and it’s a waste of our time, attention and energy to concentrate on such small things.

    i cannot make any study and didn’t read anything about it but i bet that the largest problems for the environment right now is war (s) in particular that one from russia against Ukraine supported by a fascist USA in part steered by disinformation from russia and china.

    That being said, i completely agree with you about one wolf being more valuable than useless concrete slabs that are in fact a waste of resources and energy … of course.



  • The broader implication is that we need not develop agents only by deciding in advance what they should practice and optimize. Alongside tasks to solve, we can give them rich and safe playgrounds in which to explore, discover, and learn. Perhaps some capabilities are best taught by tasks. Others may need something closer to a playful childhood.

    Of course, and like anyone else, a.i. needs to play in its childhood to fully develop.






  • LLMs are not the ultimate evolution of artificial beings and emergent properties shows that simple systems can produce more complex capacities.

    i want to believe in a better future although science gives us reasons to believe otherwise.
    We humans are limited and mortal so having artificial bodies to give us eternal life and extended capacities could be good … but it also could be a disaster if billionaire psychopaths were the ones to get these powers before good people do.
