We could create a syntactically unambiguous form of textual representation of instructions.
We could call such a piece of text something specific, like a "program".
- visarga 4y agoYes, but this paper showed there is no intrinsic problem with the LM, it can execute an algorithm like addition correctly. It's billions of times more inefficient - with 175B parameters it has to do at least 175B multiplications for each output token. Incredibly inefficient, but still of interest because it could be applied to "soft concepts", unlike computer code.
