The idea of general intelligence (g) is that you’ve got some overall capacity that can be turned to any task. Human intelligence is probably much more like a big toolbox of skills, though, and I can’t see a version of computer “intelligence” that’s any different to that. I worry that people who get excited about AI are kidding themselves a bit as it isn’t going to be general - it’s going to be a toolbox at best: an LLM for writing, a totally different system for drawing, another for identifying birdsong, and and yet another for maths… And at that point you’ve not got some special interesting AGI - you’ve just reinvented the idea of apps

If AGI is made of components, you could argue that it isn’t “general”. Which would be fine, as most psychologists would say the same about human intelligence

I think OP was asking how do they interact with their desktop environment to get the eSIM information to the modem

An eSIM is a code number that is used to identify a phone account, and replaces a SIM card. On my phone I installed an eSIM by scanning a QR code. OP wants to know what’s the equivalent in a Linux distro, if there is one. It’s a good question, but I don’t know the answer myself

These language models don’t get the meaning of anything. They predict the next cluster of letters based on the clusters of letters that have come before. Sorry, but if it feels to you like they’re captured the meaning of something, you’re being bamboozled

There’s at least two steps before those three:

-1. Society has been built around the needs of the auto industry, locking people into car dependency

0. A legal system exists in which the people who build, sell and drive cars are not meaningfully liable when the car hurts somebody

Or an Office 365 Group

These authors (and my work is in there) did not write so that Mark Zuckerberg could steal our work and profit from it

Psions were amazing. I had a Psion 3 in the 90s. That thing fell out of my pocket when I was cycling and a van drove over it - still worked fine. I’d like to see an iPhone manage that
