No, working for google deepmind is the best thing you could do.

Sure, you could try Ben goertzel "hey guys lets open source AGI xD" or the many other even less respectable initiatives in AGI.

And how praytell am I getting accepted there with just a master's in compsci? It's not like everyone wants to work there...

>Feel when everyone is obsessed with making cold, unfeeling, unconscious superintelligent oracles but you just want a socially-oriented companionbot of intelligence comparable to that of a cat's but in an attractive humanoid frame with behaviors that are spontaneous and interesting though not at all times useful

The color of the light depends mainly on the mass and at what part of his lifespan the star has reached.

>>8066546
Is a purple or green star possible?

what would happen if an orange sun collided with a blue sun

>psychology isn't science
You don't say...

>>8066514
Are you proposing we just let anyone publish whatever they want?

>>8066528
What if we limit criticism to technical details and let theories compete freely?

Generalized
Certain chemicals will fit into receptor sites that are not necessarily intended for them. For example, a pleasure inducing chemical may be able to fit into the dopamine receptor site. So, where do these pseudo chemicals come from? Caffeine, for example, originated in a plant as a sort of defense mechanism intended to ward off or kill predators. Sorry I can't be any more descriptive than this because I don't really know.

>>8066403
Sorry as I thought I didn't convey my thoughts very clearly.

I know some chemical processes give you a feeling of pleasure or well-being.

But what does it mean to feel pleasure or to feel good? What is pleasure in essence? Is it related to consciousness?

>>8066389
>Why do experiencing something as "good" feels good?
Feeling good is the definition of experiencing something as good.
>I want to understand why the release of certain molecules is associated with a good feeling?
Brain signals are associated with all feelings, and no feelings aren't associated with brain signals. Why would good feelings not be associated with certain signals?
>What's the fundamental difference between pleasure and pain?
Not much really, it's also worth noting that there's no real difference between the various senses and pleasure and pain. I mean just try and rigorously describe the qualitative differences between the experience of touch and hearing, or pleasure and sight. They're all just signals you're interpreting. Values stored in a neural register somewhere in your cranium

Try
ColorConvert[Image[qq], ColorFunction -> (RGBColor[1 - 1/3 # 0.9, 1 - # 0.9, 1 - # 0.9])&]

>>8066274
ColorConvert::imgcstype: ColorFunction->RGBColor[1-Power[<<2>>] #1 0.9,1-#1 0.9,1-#1 0.9]& is an invalid color space specification.

nope just errors

>>8066284
Well then there's something wrong with the output the color function is producing.

Do you know what it's supposed to do? Do you have examples?

>>8066244
More like when civilization is advanced enough everyone realize god exist and the bible is true, so everyone start living simple lives waiting for eternal life in paradise.

Well you see anon, there is a trend in communication technologies where the operational frequency is increasing. Higher operating frequency = more bandwidth. First we used radiowaves, then we used microwaves, and now we use visible light (in the form of fiberoptics).

The logical end point of this trend is communication using modulated gamma rays. Gamma ray bursts may in fact be ayy lmaos giving us the bird.

>>8066244
Once computers advance to a point that they can perfectly simulate anything anyone might want, there will be no reason to explore space.

Why spend time and resources going somewhere else and taking even a tiny amount of risk, when it's possible to do the exact same thing with no risk and identical results?

>>8066222
Looks pretty simple to me

Pascal's triangle

>>8066222
wow that notation [math]{}_n C_k [/math] is actually pretty good.
The American notation is shitty and the French Pascal notation is usually confusing.

>>8066193
because we create math to describe reality.

Because reality is mathematical at its core.

>>8066203
this. the best system that describes reality happens to be math.

Wouldn't it always be 100% because you don't return the card to the deck?

Rather, 1a / 2a are both unique numbers, 1a / 1b are not unique numbers.

Just because a company calls it's code monkey jobs SE doesn't mean it's actually SE, you can't legally give an SE job to anyone without an accreditted SE degree.

You can actually sue the company posting the wrong title win the case:

The reverse

The level of activity in the brain of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine may be the reason for this.[100] Such chemicals will either excite or inhibit the firing of neurons in the brain, with a greater firing rate allowing the brain to register the occurrence of more events within a given interval (speed up time) and a decreased firing rate reducing the brain's capacity to distinguish events occurring within a given interval (slow down time).
