On hacker news everything is 0% or 100%.


I see you're playing the 100% end of that range, by claiming that "everything" conforms to your insight.


Those tickets are only in companies that haven't learned the bitter lesson.

> It's not even clear whether two humans are experiencing the same flavor or taste when they agree that a food is "sweet"

OK but that's like criticizing every science result by saying "how did they control for the possibility that I'm a vat brain and nothing they did was real"


lol

but that's kind of straw-manning the point I am raising, I think.

There are just certain specific things or questions that maybe science isn't really equipped to answer properly, and things related to one's actual experience seem to constitute a broad category for which that seems true, thus far.

So, no, it's not the same as disbelieving any random scientific study by questioning whether the universe itself is real or whatever. It's really just saying that, in a real universe we all share, science has its limits as to the proper scope of its inquiries and explanatory powers.


What if freshly caught songbirds taste sweet to them? Are we saying we know their qualia?


> The choice to have children is usually not an economic consideration.

This is obviously the nicer sounding position but I wonder if it's the true one.

Maybe there could be a publicly funded virtual liver project.


There are some pretty good efforts into human organs/body simulation. I remember reading about some reserach lab in Italy that is putting a lot of effort in this branch.

The problem is, biologists still dont have complete understanding of how the organs work... how can we look for simulating them?


Is this AI safety?


AI safety is just a thing to keep the advertisers happy
