Later this year, Voyager 1 will become the first human-made machine to reach a distance of 1 light day from Earth.
"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"
I think intelligence implies understanding, which requires consciousness. A world model is best, but necessarily can only simulate the effectively infinite possibilities that are the content of consciousness, with a subset of them. So whatever it is that has us conscious is a prerequisite to true AI

Happy Summer solstice.
This is a pinhole camera 6 month exposure photo I took from Winter solstice 2024 (bottom line of the photo) to Summer solstice 2025 (top line of the photo).
The lines are the Sun as it appears to move across the sky and gets higher and higher until we get to Summer solstice.
It would be great to hear about all the exciting ideas Andy Burnham has to reinvigorate and improve the UK. Otherwise itβs just replacing Starmer with Northern Starmer. π€·ββοΈ #UKPolitics #LabourParty
