Sounds like they need a publicist or something.

It’s the trusted platform module which I know almost nothing about but I’m sure is fucking stupid. My monster of a desktop from 2018 also can’t run win11, and the only reason is my cpu is missing the tpm that it requires.

Best we can do is a pair of robot arms. One would make you unbalanced.

And move to a cheap spacious house in the middle of nowhere, ideally somewhere absolutely beautiful. You could work anywhere you want and never need to actually live there. You could also become the first person on every planet and moon. I’d probably try to get nasa to pay me a billion dollars to be on call to teleport anything they want to anywhere in the solar system.

Considering that computers are Turing complete, yes they can, by definition. They can be used to compute anything that can be computed. The question you’re probably really asking is can we make a functional agi with current technology. In a practical sense, no, in a theoretical sense, yes. In practice we can’t because we don’t know how. That knowledge is a form of technology that we haven’t developed yet, though we may have all or most of the pieces available right now. We know that our computers should be able to do it, given enough memory and processing power, but hardware alone doesn’t make an intelligence. You need the software too, and we just don’t know how to make the leap from single purpose tools to general intelligence. Think of it like an airplane. We had all the pieces necessary to make one long before we ever did. We saw birds do it and tried to copy them. We had metal, wood, rope, rubber, cloth, everything you need physically to build a self propelled flying machine, for hundreds or thousands of years, but we didn’t have the underlying principles, a working theory for how to put them together just so. That’s where we are with agi. We have all the raw materials, and some of the complex pieces, but we’re missing things that prevent us from taking that final step into a true agi, however limited.

At that point why bother? Just make it a random N byte integer.

It’s fascinating that the enshittification is taking place on both ends of Google. I would have thought that the slow bastardization of search was for the benefit of advertizers but it’s bad for everyone except Google.
