There is enough data on him to make a perfect recreation of him using AI in a way that makes it feel like he himself is an actor, or that you’re a fly on the wall in the real world, when combined with real world reference data

@zack_overflow @thorstenball Hell yeah. Something about the quality of the resource, the expertise of the author, and them guiding you through the knowledge in but in a way that you need to put in work and time

@rikarends Isn’t this saying that we are philosophical zombies? I’m not sure I can accept that view because of my own experience feeling things. What you’re saying that is every person is doing things but is effectively dead inside

@rikarends Yeah I agree. Me saying “must” was a mistake, it was more of a counter argument

@rikarends I would throw it back at you that saying it DOES have the ability to feel or be “”conscious”” must involve some sort of quantum argument

We don’t fully understand the mechanism in ourselves so how could we? But, I have heard even gut bacteria has a neural interface of sorts to the central nervous system. Hmm so maybe it could be modelled mathematically (architecturally, training/inference algo)

@zack_overflow TypeScript is the lang I’m most comfortable with, but isn’t there a solid argument that if you’re putting effort into types then it shouldn’t be much more difficult to just use something native There is a beautiful simplicity to pure JS I think

Can't believe Steve Jobs, who was not so well-known at the time, met and shook hands with a stranger who was a manager at a random restaurant who turned out to be his biological father. Neither of them knew who the other person was until much later.
