May be the most surprising answer will be Paul Valéry. He is a great poet but during one night in 1892 he decided to spend all his life in solving the mystery of intelligence and wrote extensive notebooks about it. https://collecties.kb.nl/en/koopman-collection/1951-1960/cahiers

It works only if it fly above your territory—and similar systems are used for drones detection now. Actually, they use people eyes and smartphones and instant messaging. But during recent attack on Iran a single F35 flied over Iraq and fired a missile from like 200 km distance on a target in Iran.
Did you ever see any plane that far? I saw only planes above me (10 km) and they are almost like dots.
The difference between optics and radar is that with optics you need to know where to look—but the radar has constant 360 perception.
They likely use them in places where no air defence is present and still at some disatnce using JDAM.
I think that I missed the main thing about stealth—they are stealth for radar on the distances like 100 km, but visible for radar on the distances like 10 km (arbitrary numbers). But optical observation on distances of 100 km is impossible (need large telescopes, but you need to know where to look). Also optical density of atmosphere starts playing role as well a spherical size of earth.
Tactical support aircraft are not stealth like A-10 but can be used only if airdefence is supressed
Flying very low, like 10-30 meters above the ground in night will protect against even MANPADS—it will fly above you in a few seconds.
I recommend an interesting blog https://xxtomcooperxx.substack.com/p/its-the-range-stupid-part-1 which discuss a lot about air defence and current war
That is why they prefer to flight for strikes during moonless nights. Also they can fly of very low or very high, which makes optical observation difficult.
non-disease copies do not need to perform any changes in their meditation routine in this model, assuming that they naturelly forget their disease status during meditation.
It failed my favorite test: draw a world map in text art.
It claims to have knowledge cutoff as of Nov 2023, but failed to tell what happened on October 7 and hallucinated.
Yes, they can do now a much better version—and hope they will do it internally. But deleting the public version is bad precedent and better to make all personal sideloads opensourced
ChatGPT 4.5 is on preview at https://chat.lmsys.org/ under name gpt-2.
It calls itself ChatGPT 2.0 in a text art drawing https://twitter.com/turchin/status/1785015421688799492
Yes, it only works if other copies are meditating for some other reason. For example, they sleep or meditate for enlightenment. And they are exploited in this situation.
I assume that meditation happens naturally, like sleep.
I think I understand what you say—the expected utility of the whole procedure is zero.
For example, imagine that there are 3 copies and only one has the disease. All meditate. After the procedure, the copy with disease will have 2⁄3 chances of being cured. Each of two copies without the disease are getting 1⁄3 chance of having the disease which in sum gives 2⁄3 of total utility. In that case total utility of being cured = total utility of getting the disease and the whole procedure is neutral.
However, If I already know that I have the disease, and I am not altruistic to my copies, playing such game is a wining move to me?
The trick is to use already existing practice of meditation (or sleeping) and connect to it. Most people who go to sleep do no do it to use magic by forgetting, but it is natural to forget something during sleep. Thus, the fact that I wake up from sleeping does not provide any evidence about me having the disease.
But it is in a sense parasitic behavior, and if everyone will use magic by forgetting every time she goes to sleep, there will be almost no gain. Except that one can “exchange” one bad thing on another, but will not remember the exchange.
Self-playing Adversarial Language Game Enhances LLM Reasoning
LLMs now can also self-play in adversarial word games and it increases their performance https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.10642
Roman Mazurenko is dead again. First resurrected person, Roman lived as a chatbot (2016-2024) created based on his conversations with his fiancé. You might even be able download him as an app.
But not any more. His fiancé married again and her startup http://Replika.ai pivoted from resurrection help to AI-girlfriends and psychological consulting.
It looks like they quietly removed Roman Mazurenko app from public access. It is especially pity that his digital twin lived less than his biological original, who died at 32. Especially now when we have much more powerful instruments for creating semi-uploads based on LLMs with large prompt window.
Also, radars are good in pinpointing exact coordinates in space and time. Optical recognition may have delays or difficultly in measuring distance. Even 1 second delay makes their information useless for supersonic aircrafts.
