#VonNeumann
Arrived today. Tells the tale of the dark foundations of the modern world, centred on John von Neumann, he of the unstoppable self replicating machines. Sounds interesting!

The only good things to come out of that s-hole are Bartok and Kertesz. Also Szilard. Not VonNeumann. Not Teller. Maybe some other Martians IDK them well enough.

On to this next, a somewhat fictionalised account of John von Neumann, he of the self-replicating machines and much more besides, it turns out. Early days, but I think I'm going to enjoy it immensely. #nonfiction #science #mathematics #vonneumann

He seemed to have his mathematical fingers in every 20th-Century pie.

From Von Neumann to John Conway's Game of life: two geniuses at play. Life is unpredictable, no matter what. Turing's machines..halting?

Well, insofar as they're all running on a VonNeumann architecture, sure. But neural nets are inherently non-deterministic.

But John von Neumann had a better idea: call it entropy — because, in his words, "no one really knows what entropy is, so you’ll always have the advantage in any argument." 😎

A genius move blending science and strategy! #ScienceHistory #Shannon #VonNeumann #Entropy

"Von Neumann is the unappreciated genius of modern science. Scientists appreciate him, but the fnord public, I don't think, has ever heard of him."

thanks for linking, haven't come across this. yeah I try to be mindful of engaging in good faith with the idea given he spent some not insignificant time developing it (his vonneumann take was bad, and it's just unfortunate that's all I know about him)

feels useful to quarantine human-ai intelligence comparisons to ~symbol manipulation tasks for now. I mean llms obviously aren't embodied yet so hominid uber physicalles; not sure what this gives us? if we have a 3↑↑↑3x vonNeumann in a box but he can't drive a car, this is still important, probably?

A basic algorithm for a basic guy: find the edge points in the binary image and change their colour to that of the target image. Rinse and repeat until the edge no longer moves.

I think you can always find utility insofar as you can take action in the world, esp given this is relative to intrasocial dynamics: if we're superceded by ASI vonneumann replicators we won't compete with them, but you can still demonstrate utility in areas they don't care about, even

John von Neumann predicted the #Singularity—decades before #ChatGPT.

He warned of a future where tech accelerates so fast it breaks our ability to understand it.

That future is now.

Aber nur, weil da noch ein Clinch mit vonNeumann & Turing anhängig ist.
Geklöppelt hat nämlich Turing. Zuse hat nur den Hack von Neumann serialisiert.
Blusky sollte nämlich ein EinMannWeb werden.

"Nos hemos estancado en todas las artes salvo en una -tékne-, en la que nuestra sabiduría se ha vuelto tan profunda y peligrosa”

“Porque ¿cómo se castiga a una máquina? ¿Cómo se le enseña a distinguir entre el bien y el mal?”

“Para el progreso no hay cura”
