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

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." 😎

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?

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find utility insofar as you can take action in the world, esp given this is relative to intrasocial dynamics: if we're superceded by ASI vonneumann replicators we won't compete with them, but you can still demonstrate utility in areas they don't care about, even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

Geklöppelt hat nämlich Turing. Zuse hat nur den Hack von Neumann serialisiert.
Blusky sollte nämlich ein EinMannWeb werden.

How the von Neumann bottleneck is impeding AI computing
The von Neumann architecture, which separates compute and memory, is perfect for conventional computing. But it creates a data traffic jam for AI.
