I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate... Forget that.

I've been working in the large gas power plant, a sprawling monster creeping over a city, large enough to power some European nations. A lake is kept warm in winter with just effluent waters. Everywhere you look in the city you can see traces of it. At any given time there's always something breaking or leaking somewhere. It looks like it can break down at any moment. Yet the constant labour of thousands of workers always keeps power plant humming along. It's an impressive feat of human engineering.

In which ways does any tech (let alone AI, but I'm with other commentators here in that I'm not convinced that it has to be AI) enable "coordination and sensible decision making" that you speak of?

Your game's name reads 'homo', which is 'human' in Latin. Your game's cover art shows a gun. Why is it so?

Nope, I didn't. Waited for about an hour. The barista in the cafe didn't know about the meetup and didn't see him or anyone else either.

Well, Dmitrii, I came and it looks like I'm the only one here? Not even you around? I wonder if I'm in the right place. I'm in BNKR at Simon Janashia, 26.

I just happened to be in the city, so I thought I might as well attend?

I'll just leave a link to Yandex maps in case anyone needs it, since it seems to work so well around here: https://yandex.com/maps/org/157367660379

Can I get a link to the pre-orientation, please, which should be already starting online, I believe?

I sent you a message here on Less Wrong, but didn't get a reply.

What chat servers are in use now?
Almost 5 years have passed.

Did you do anything special to have lucid dreams?

How does one call a philosophical position that images have intrinsic meanining, rather than assigned one by the external observer?

What can be said about a person giving voice to such position? (with the purpose of understanding their position and how to best one could converse with them, if at all)

I am asking because I encountered such a person in a social network discussion about computer vision. They are saying that pattern recognition is not yet a knowledge of their meaning and yes, meaning is intrinsic to image.

All that comes to my mind is: I am not versed in philosophy, but it looks to me that science is based on the opposite premise and further discussion is meaningless.

Way better for me; tango and soccer are practically dead to me; swimming is fun.

OTOH if you optimize for fitness benefits, I am almost sure swimming is not optimal: e.g. cardio training and weight lifting should be better.

You should really figure out what you wish to optimize for. If you want to optimize for 'everything' you should be fine doing 'anything' that looks like it helps it.
