Hi, according to this research, it might not be possible to increase working memory, since the memory limit seems to be the same for birds, monkeys and humans, and in extension in all animals:

The scientists found that birds and monkeys—despite their different brain architecture—share the same central mechanisms and limits of working memory.
Hi!
Your ML study guide seems nice, I'll probably need it in a year or two, waiting for improved versions :)
About diet, have you tried soylent or derivatives? I'm gonna try it, seems like a good way to save time.
it's not that people are innately evil, it's that they've learned a bad strategy to get what they want
what if sometimes it is not a bad strategy, but the only strategy?
For example nazi scientists did some cruel and evil experiments on humans, but in exchange they got what they wanted.
chimpanzees are cruel but have no concept of evil?
But... how do you know that chimpanzees have no concept of evil?
Eh, I think this is no innate evil, but people optimizing their behavior around the incentive of getting dopamine jumps, when they show their superiority to people around them while acting as a bully, or self pleasure of knowing they managed to troll someone on the internet forums and thus are better than them.
You gave no examples of evilness but just things that some predisposed people do to get their rewards, because their prehistoric ancestors evolved that way over the course of millions of years. Real evilness would be to do things that give nothing in return, therefore would be irrational to do. There is no real evil in the world, because even a madman doing irrational subjective evil is still rational to himself.
Want to eliminate evil? Just give people some Soma.
Do you guys think it is worth to learn chinese if I'm planning a career in science?
China is becoming more and more influential in the world, plus in 2020 it's published more scientific papers than USA, most of which are not translated, thus being able to read them would be an advantage. (https://www.scimagojr.com/countryrank.php?year=2020)
I'm not sure how to find information about which country puts more money and is progressing faster in molecular biology/biophysics though.
Wouldn't AI rebuild itself from zero to prevent such trojans anyway? Then it is pointless.
I'm sure AI would be aware of such a threat, for example it could scan the internet and stumble upon posts such as this.
Isn't this another loop that you didn't mention? :P
His admirers
Who are his admirers? Just like who are his enemies.
What about threads like "Open & Welcome Thread"? I had a bit trouble finding it today.
A way to make these would be to make a second version of the Personal Blog, which shows on the main page.
Or entirely different tag, "Community Post"? Available for trusted members. Though it would probably be the same as "Open Threads" tag.
