There are many ways to model how the model works in simpler terms. Next-word prediction is useful to characterize how you do inference with the model. Maximizing mutual information, compressing, gradient descent, ... are all useful characte

As an expert in the field: this is exactly right. LLMs are trained to do whole book prediction, at training time we throw in whole books at the time. It's only when sampling we do one or a few tokens at the time.

Well, there is evidence that this company made and distributed CSAM and pornographic deepfakes to make a profit. There is no evidence lacking there for the investigators. So the question becomes if it was done knowingly or recklessly, hence

Well, chickens tend to live off insects when you let them roam. I don't really see how insect powder would be worse than the flour they get now. You don't even need to turn the bugs into a powder.

I'm sorry, but I double checked and I do think you have it wrong. Figure 3 is for "sea level rise _rate_", and that one is indeed high but not significantly so. Quoting "The satellite-based linear trend 1993–2011 is 3.2±

The paper I cite is for sea level rise. IPCC models from 1990 and 2011 have made forecasts on sea level rise. When we compare those to what actually happened up to 2025, we see that we are slightly worse right now than their highest sea lev
