I'm not sure what you mean, but not throwing poo is the default behavior. They only do it when feeling stressed, or zoo settings they might even do it to get a reaction from the crowd. Figuratively speaking, no different than humans.

Even monkeys have society and they tend to only throw poo at those who have done wrong by that society. Monkeys have and try to maintain reputations.

This is a great channel, and I found I was indeed surprised to learn that strings did not in fact vibrate the way I thought.

Getting a copy of everyone's code bases is part of the ai business. Use it for training, see what ideas people are developing to either copy or know where to invest. The list goes on. All to be fully monitized later on. No different th

I don't dispute what you're saying about how LLMs work, but this is exactly what I mean. LLMs can be shown to demonstrate reasoning, so if define thinking as being able to reason, then LLMs can indeed think. If instead you define

When I see these sorts of debates about LLMs thinking, its rarely a disagreement about what LLMs do. Its almost always over how 'thinking' is defined and the two sides use different definitions but don't actually communicate

I've heard that one of the core tenants of veganism is about not being cruel to animals. In the case of raising your own chickens where you have full knowledge of how well they are cared for and no cruelty is involved, what's the

Even if those books were to come back now, they would be AI-generated slop. I am sad for the future of creative works.
