World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If how exactly it's implemented matters, regardless of similarity in internal dynamics and states, and there's an imminent tangibility to it like rain or torque, I think you're actually talking about a soul.
Behaviorally, analog systems are not substrate dependent. The same second-order differential equations describes RLC circuits, audio resonators and a ball on a spring, for example.
Analog AI chips exist, FWIW.
If you're looking at complexity theory, I'm pretty sure all physics is in EXPTIME. That's a strong class, which is why we haven't solved every problem, but it's still digital and there's stronger ones that can come up, like with Presburger arithmetic. Weird fundamentally-continuous problems exist, and there was a pretty significant result in theoretical quantum computer science about it this decade, but actual known physics is very "nice" in a lot of ways. And yes, that includes having numerical approximations to an arbitrary degree of precision.
To be clear, there's still a lot of problems with the technology, even if it can replace a graphics designer. Your screenshot is a great example of hallucination (particularly the bit about practical situations), or just echoing back a sentiment that was given.
This is partly true, as I already explained at length, since the behavior of any system can be crudely modeled. It’s how LLMs work! But it’s also a non-sequitur.
Modeling what a system can do and doing what a system can do are not the same.
What's the difference?
A map isn't a territory, but there's no such a thing as a tangible mind you can hold (or there is, and we're arguing about mysticism, which isn't really a good use of my time). As far as I can see, it's all maps.
