Yes, and I think a lot of immigrants and especially immigrants (grand-)children feel that way. We are lions in the sea and sharks in the woods. It's always difficult to explain to teachers (those who mean well) that not only I do not feel like a German, but I don't even consider it necessary. To me personally it's positive. I like cultures and traditions and obviously they are still part of my identity. But I like that I don't have the vulnerability of making them a bigger part of my identity than they need to be.

    I believe in causal determinism and personally I still believe in free will, because in a hypothetically undetermined existence where we have this magic power to make a decision, it makes an impact whether or not I believe in it. In a determined existence whether I'm aware of it or not doesn't matter as it's already determined.

    When it comes to laws, ethics and judgements, I don't think there is a clear solution, since all of this is built on the idea of free will and specifically accountability. We have this weird line, because only with time we took some levels of determinism into account for judging an action, e.g. psychological determinism.

    I'm not sure where my line is. I guess in practice it makes sense that we can only consider determining causes where we can describe the events that lead to the action in detail (that too is vague and contextual). E.g. Tourette causing someone to say the n-word is more direct, clear and definitive than a traumatic event leading to abuse. Then again, it also means my lack of (specific) information in the chain of causation decides how I view someone.

    AGI is just a type of AI. It's a term coined long after AI that doesn't define new goals and capabilities that weren't already part of AI research, except that they were rather abandoned. If anything, "AGI" was the marketing term to revitalize and focus on those ideals. So there is nothing wrong with the general public to associate "AI" with what you would specifically describe as "AGI".

    Furthermore, I don't understand what this public perception has to do with your claim. If they thought of only narrow AI, then would it not make even more sense to call their LLM-based products AI...

    Funny that you feel this way, because I thought about posting a similar and yet almost opposite post to !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world. I think it gets too much attention compared to other missions.

    I think the Artemis mission isn't completely useless and even regardless of Lunar economy and nostalgic motivation, there are some benefits, sure. But all of this over-sensationalized exposure with more emphasis on the USA is the reality check that we're slowly resetting to a space race. I always thought that it was a beautiful story that what started as competition turned into the biggest evidence of our united efforts. And while I don't think collaborations will end, I fear that they will turn into alliances and we are back to competition.

    Shit like this is a reminder to me that a large portion behind some AI products' hype are people who have no clue what these products even do. I wonder how the world would change, if these jack of all trades who invest waste so much time into collecting ideas to fill up their pockets, instead spent more time on actually understanding the ideas they have chosen and build at least a fundamental knowledge.

    For legal protection you register your script (e.g. in the USA with the WGA or USCO) or you maintain evidence. Whether or not you should worry about it is debatable. And it might be different everywhere. But first time movie writers, especially in Hollywood, should rather worry about getting into the industry in the first place. And for that, no matter what some scammy gurus, who teach you the 3 act structure like some form of deep complex science, tell you, your screenplay matters very little.
