Go enough shoulders down, and someone had to have been the first giant.
- pram 8mo agoPythagoras is the turtle.
- TheCycoONE 8mo agoPythagoras learned from Egyptians that have been largely erased by euro/western narratives of superiority.
- nextaccountic 8mo agoProbably not homo sapiens.. other hominids older than us developed a lot of technology
- Kuxe 8mo agoA discovery by a giant is in some sense a new base vector in the space of discoveries. The interesting question is if a statistical machine can only perform a linear combination in the space of discoveries, or if a statistical machine can discover a new base vector in the space of discoveries.. whatever that is.
- D-Machine 8mo agoFor sure we know modern LLMs and AIs are not constrained by anything particularly close to simple linear combinations, by virtue of their depth and non-linear activation functions. But yes, it is not yet clear to what degree there can be (non-linear) extrapolation in the learned semantic spaces here.
