Yes there could/will be a bubble pop, but the technology and its applications overall are not going anywhere.<br/><br/>A retrenchment and another decade on figuring how to get an AGI running on the same 20 Watts a human brain does might be a good thing.<br/><br/>And there is nothing that say it *must* be a neural network-like structure. A fundamentally quantum based approach could revolutionize everything.

When tractors started to become popular there were still many circumstances of land access, field slope, soil saturation, etc., that made having a team of horses and expert plowmen around the far superior choice. And that lasted for a couple of decades.

About 10% are truly outstanding - good work and good management. <br/><br/>Stay only as long as you can in the first. Use it to get to the second one that will tide over until you find the third. <br/><br/>Just understand the third kind will inevitably, over years or decades, slide down to the second and finally into the first kind.

You catch plague and either die from it without treatment or are successfully treated for it with antibiotics.

They take up hardly any room at all. You can collect the goat milk and make homemade goat cheese to use, trade and sell.<br/>----------------------------------------<br/><br/>Making goat cheese (also known as chèvre) at home is relatively easy, involving simple steps like heating milk, adding cultures and rennet, draining the curds, and flavoring with salt. <br/>Here&#39;s a more detailed breakdown:<br/>Ingredients:<br/>You&#39;ll need fresh goat milk, a starter culture (often available as a liquid or powder), and rennet (a natural enzyme that coagulates milk). <br/>Process:<br/>Heat the milk: Gently heat the goat milk to a specific temperature (around 85-90°F or 29-32°C). <br/>Add culture and rennet: Once the milk is heated, add the starter culture and rennet, stirring gently. <br/>Let it set: Allow the milk to sit undisturbed for a period (usually 18-24 hours) to allow the curds to form. <br/>Drain the curds: Once the curds are set, drain them in a cheesecloth-lined colander. <br/>Salt and flavor: Add salt to the cheese and optionally flavor with herbs, garlic, or other ingredients. <br/>Yield:<br/>A gallon of milk typically yields about 1 3/4 pounds of goat cheese. <br/><br/>Very cool.<br/> <img src="https://i.poastcdn.org/f4/25/35/f42535dace0e6b5d09f51e4d5a17f710d26dcb2d64b421b8d52a9be2929bd84b.jpg"> <br/> 2025-03-15T12:32:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgw4spyy3mu8httxpmu58kw59mqcszpz2dhrgpwf72k628n62n5wszyp7elz8lz9ctnhzj9pu7mzpvh82chtm8cr67sqzheukggcvcu2gujpeeeln In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs24s0w6ncc8hh9wcc9u5he9rhh8rewe2y64f0ssg248y4ett4dchgvr00gn'>nevent1q…00gn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>LOL.

We are just figuring it out.<br/>But yes, it&#39;s going to be another huge hype cycle.<br/>Afterwards there will be useful technology.<br/>It&#39;s still virgin territory.

We have no real understanding of consciousness or sentience.<br/><br/>We just copied an interesting structure that&#39;s found in the brain, the way neurons network with each other in the brain, stuck on a simple model of how they might interact and found at first interesting (letter recognition) and more and more surprising and possibly useful results. <br/><br/>But to call it thinking as an AI is a *huge* stretch - that sells!<br/><br/>This structure of networked neurons looks like it can power lower animals and their ability to move in the world, adapt to circumstances, find food, escape predators.<br/><br/>But we&#39;re a long way from human cognition as far as I can see.<br/>We don&#39;t even know if it&#39;s this network structure is what leads to human level cognition. That could be a completely separate process we don&#39;t know about that&#39;s built *on top* of the existing network and took time to evolve.<br/><br/>Perhaps Pensrose&#39;s and others&#39; idea of quantum mechanics being fundamentally involved in consciousness. We are just starting to understand quantum computing so maybe that will be the way forward.<br/><br/>Regardless, it still is an exciting field.

About a thousand White students and one civilized black. The teachers were smart and if you showed any spark they were happy to work with you. We had a (very) small math club where we taught ourselves more advanced algebra and calculus starting in grade 10. Two teachers supplied textbooks and would assist with questions and problems. One thing that made a difference is how students were streamed into lower, middle and advanced levels of courses starting in grade 10. We went to grade 13 back then. 2024-07-31T22:39:52Z
