yeah thats why i need help from the machine interpretability crowd to make sure my hypothesized reframing of reasoning has sufficient empirical basis and isn’t adrift in lalaland.

well yeah its partially philosphical, i guess my haphazard use of language like “all” makes it more philosophical than intended. but im getting at a few things. one of those things is neurological. how do deductive inference constructs man

sorry, humans are stupid and what intelligence they have is largely impotent. if this wasnt the case life wouldnt be this dystopia. my crassness comes from not necessarily trying to pick on a particular group of humans, just disappointmen

i have a question for you, in which ive asked many philosophy professors but none could answer satisfactorily. since you seem to have a penchant for reasoning perhaps you might have a good answer. (i hope i remember the full extent of the

possibly, my university doesn’t really do ai research beyond using it as a tool to engineer things. im looking to transfer to a different university. but no, my take on reasoning is really a somewhat generalized reframing of the definition

terribly sorry to be such a tease, but im looking to publish a paper on it, and still need to delve deeper into machine interpretability to make sure its empirically properly couched. if u can help with that perhaps we can continue this co

interesting point about language. but i wonder if people misattribute the reason why language is pivotal to human development. your points are valid. i see human behavior with regard to learning as 90% mimicry and 10% autonomous learning.

well lets just say i think i can explain reasoning better than anyone ive encountered. i have my own hypothesized theory on what it is and how it manifests in neural networks. i doubt your mathmatician example is equivalent. examples that

kinda interesting, every single CS person (especially phds) when talking about reasoning are unable to concisely quantify, enumerate, qualify, or define reasoning. people with (high) intelligence talking and building (artificial) intelligen

a trickle of people sure, but most people never accidentally stumble upon good evaluation skills let alone reason themselves to that level, so i dont see how most people will have the semblance of an idea of a realistic trajectory of ai pro

how about a extra large dose of your skepticism. is true intelligence really a thing and not just a vague human construct that tries to point out the mysterious unquantifiable combination of human behaviors? humans clearly dont know what i

well gary marcus a non lay person is helping spread word that ai winter is again upon us. but maybe statistical learning from pretraining is near its limit. not enough data or not enough juice to squeeze more performance out of averages. t

The beauty of LLMs isn’t just these coding objects speak human vernacular but they can be concatenated with human vernacular prompts and that itself can be used as an input, command or output sensibly without necessarily causing error even

According to sleep scientist mathew walker, it serves multiple roles, replenishment of resources obviously, but also behavior refinement (whatever you practice during the day gets practiced excessively while asleep), and sleep also is a cre

I can do more than that. I used to wake up sweaty half the time from sleeping as child. Now that never happens as an adult, i instead wake up with my sweater mysteriously taken off. I wish sleep self would learn to put a sweater on if it

Evolution is like DFS depth first search, it isnt looking for an optimal way optimally its just going down a branch until it finds a satisfactory solution. Sleep according to sleep scientist matthew walker, isnt what it seems. If i remembe

So the argument that during a gold rush, there are scammers selling pyrite and misleading prospective prospectors to quarries where there is no gold, soo because all these are happening incidentally the gold rush is therefore near over. O

Well i think this conversation chain has played out multiple times all the way spanning back to at least Ben Edison. Often times nothing is certain in a business where you need to take a chance trying to bring an imagined idea into fruitio

Humans use synthetic data of their own to help with learning. Reasoning, imagination, armchair philosophy, theoreticizing, and neurosciences talk about dream repetition. If synthetic daa is bad or flawed its only temporary until the tech

even if the datacenter increase was a waste because the potential of LLMs never pan out relative to the massive investment, i think the flood of gpu and compute will definitely enable whatever could benefit from it. The next better AI appl

Add how he took a multibillion payout while laying off 14% ish of Tesla staff. He seems to use shareholder Tesla equity to bail out his other misadventures. To add insult to injury he laughed with Trump about firing unionizing workers. Oh

Much of nvidias marketing material covers this if you want to believe it. They at minimal claim that there will be a million fold increase in compute available specifically to ML over the next decade.

I wonder when people mention Moores law do they use that vernacular literally or figuratively. IE literal as having to do with shrinking of the transistors, figuratively with any and all efforts to increase overall computational speed up.
