“Horza recalled that the Culture's attitude to somebody who believed in an omnipotent God was to pity them, and to take no more notice of the substance of their faith than one would take of the ramblings of somebody claiming to be Emperor of the Universe. The nature of the belief wasn't totally irrelevant - along with the person's background and upbringing, it might tell you something about what had gone wrong with them - but you didn't take their views _seriously_.”

From Paul Cristiano on Dwarkesh Patel’s podcast on AI safety. This is so important to remember. Current #AI is just one of the first things that really work.

But I wasn’t suggesting teamwork across the border, though I’d bet at least one person from each side would collaborate.
I was asking whether anyone knows what local availability of printers are on both sides of the border. I haven’t tried to get a 3d printer in either place.
It’s funny, but to be fair, plants very very certainly have a lower level of consciousness than animals.
Guessing it’s the same as anything, you hash a message and achieve something specific in the hashed output - often leading zeros. The more unlikely the output, the harder it probably was. I saw something the other day where Nostr messages got PoW added to them to filter out spam.
What are the current barriers? Are there any in Israel? Is it hard to get a printer in Gaza?
This brings up a fascinating question. What does the gov interference vs justified resistance graph look like.
I bet that does explain some of religion. And seeing chance occurrences and thinking it was causal. Like all the people who swear it was x or y event that gave their kid
“Well the last time I burned a virgin at the stake it rained like crazy, worth a shot”
It’s really interesting stuff. My thoughts are evolving. But it does seem like the Gods imagined by some religions must be evil according to our understanding at least.
Known as the problem of evil. Lots has been written about it.
