What is an LLM going to do with food, clothes, diapers etc? The idea doesn't really make sense.

This framing overlooks an unstated caveat - i.e. people that work for an LLM company have an incentive to minimize human contribution as much as possible in their narratives.

I don't think that's a given - not sure how you'd even quantify that comparison.

Given enough time, I think anyone with a proclivity towards math could derive the quadratic formula from first principles. I don't think there's anything in biology that can really be derived in that way. You'd have to start from the physics of chemistry or something. In which case you'd need quantum mechanics and... math!

My argument is mostly about the complexity and the immensely intricate physicality of biology.

We can barely inspect much of it, let alone fully understand it.

I think you could make a corresponding argument about the unbounded complexities of an abstract domain like mathematics. Math also has a notorious reputation for difficulty. We don't even have a way to know how much there is to know about math.

I'm not sure I see one is clearly more difficult than the other.

That's of course absurd. The human brain doesn't represent information as discrete tokens, nor does it form sentences autoregressively.

I don't know about you, but I tend to speak one word at a time...

Do you restart the entire sentence in your head every time you add a new word?

If I was not evolved to not do so, probably would do exactly that.

>I don't know about you, but I tend to speak one word at a time...

That isn't how tokens work, nor is it a representation of how the brain represents information.

Our brain decides every moment what action to take next, that best fits with what we did and felt so far. Language is kind hard to see because it's virtual, but imagine all other things you do. And then language works the same as everything else, same circuits, just no direct connection to muscles.

The consistent through-line of Greenwald's journalism from the Bush era through to the Trump era is an anti-u.s pro Russia narrative.

Not likely, both political parties hate him.

Maybe Americans will rid of both of them...

Doesn't really seem possible. The two party system is so deeply wound into the structure of the u.s. political machinery that a new party doesn't really stand a chance.

Wrong phrasing, a new political party could absolutely come into power. It would just replace one of the two-parties ideologies but be called the same thing and you still have 2 parties.

And especially treating political parties like sports teams that must defeat the other, regardless of whether it's in the best interest of the country

It might be time to throw the machinery out the window.

> Maybe Americans will rid of both of them...

There are recent trends to suggest they could

> Just as a simple example look at the golden ratio in living organisms

What is this example meant to illustrate?

The golden ratio is one of those things you can study for years and be a amazed by.

>The golden ratio (≈ 1.618) and its related golden angle (137.5°) show up in nature because they maximize space, exposure, and flow.

The golden ratio is an algorithm, but it is also a natural law that systems of many different scales follow. Wherever we look we find examples of it. Without this algorithm the world is a much harder place to explain.

What many scientists starting to look for is these algorithms we have not identified in natural systems as an explanatory means of their workings. Also because they are algorithms they are things we can put into computer systems to increase efficiency, or may naturally emerge from evolutionary learning systems like AI in what we call emegence.

The golden ratio in nature is numerology. Biology is beautiful enough in itself without having the golden ratio shoehorned into it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10792139/

agreed, the golden ratio in the case of biological structure is a consequence of geometric progression of progressive assembly, its not a driver.

the better direction in my opinion, is the mutual reinforcement of coupled dynamic systems, that ends up giving us metabolism.

Did you even read what you linked to, or did you just read the headline?

>There is no convincing evidence that the golden ratio is linked to idealized human proportions or facial beauty. There is currently no evidence to support the use of the golden ratio in orthognathic or facial aesthetic/reconstructive surgical planning or analysis of results.

This is about peoples faces. What I listed was about things like available surface area for things like chemical reactions and mixing, you know things that are mathematically calculatable. Much in the same manner a hexagon is an optimal low energy shape, hence we see lots of them in nature too.

I think it illustrates that there are cool things to find beneath the lamp post of math and coding.

Not just cool things. But real things that effect physics.

Do I blame the people with all the power or the people with none? Hmm.

Figuring out how we got here is how we figure out how to get out of here.

What is there to figure out? Elections have consequences and the country is learning that the hard way... again.

How we got here is Obama got elected and white people lost their goddamn minds about it.

It's still spam when a human does it.
