  • Didnt read that yet, this is all from memory.

    From my recollection, the unruh effect is a side effect of referance frames and event horizons. For any given object, you can calculate that objects future path through space time. There will be objects that are too far away for that object to interact with until a certain amount of time has passed. That means those objects are beyond the causality of your original object. This creates an expansign event horizon where anything before it can theoretically be interacted with, and anything past it cannot until the future. The issue is that on the border, on the event horizon, you have virtual particles popping in and out of existance. These particles normally annhilate each other and therefore measurably dont matter. But you have the ability to interact with one without interacting with the other, because its beyond your sphere of influence. But if you can interact with it, it can interact with you. This means you measure a noticable increase in energy at the event horizon because youre only measuring half of the virtual particle, the half that you can interact with and the half that can interact with you.









  • Because every day im forced to drive an incredibly unsafe machine that has the highest chance of anything i interact with to kill me. A machine so unsafe that in the event of a collision, the safety systems could kill me. My knife has a seatbelt cutter and a glassbreaker, as do every one of my knives. Why would you not carry a knife? Do you carry your keys? Or your wallet? Do you out on clothes every day? You act like its some difficult process to grab my knife when i grab my keys.










  • Yep, thats the key issue that so many people fail to understand. They want AI to be deterministic but it simply isnt. Its like expecting a human to get the right answer to any possible question, its just not going to happen. The only thing we can do is bring error rates with ai lower than a human doing the same task, and it will be at that point that the ai becomes useful. But even at that point there will always be the alignment issue and nondeterminism, meaning ai will never behave exactly the way we want or expect it to.
