That probability formula is too general. It can practically model everything. Yan is just hiding behind epsilon. It's like assigning a probability to the origin of the universe. You can just make shit up with a algebraic letter represe

Not everything will be replaced, but you can extrapolate that much of what we do will be replaced. The thing that is harder to replace is the versatility of the human form. Manual labor can't fully be replaced because robotics have yet

The asterisks thing is another issue. LLMs don't need to do this to replace directors. >Yes, this is what I mean by the limited capacity of a simple textual description. It's a fundamental limitation - natural language is just

He clearly stated there's no hard evidence for either conclusion and he is just forming his own opinion. This is clearly different from what you are doing. You are making a hard claim that everything you see with LLMs being conscious i

If we are then AI should eventually replace us.

Train the AI exclusively on well lauded texts. Then you can get a generative AI that moves people. The problem with "reverse engineering people" is that you don't need to, the things they like in any era follows predictable a

Naw there are many possible futures. There is nothing saying the trendline is absolute. However... The future predicted via extrapolation of a trendline is unfortunately more probable and more realistic then a future predicted via mistrust

So does this scenario prove that GPT4 is a stochastic parrot or that the entire medical field of doctors are stochastic parrots?

>Well, seems like this argument is aging badly. This is a nice way of putting it. It just shows how people have a tendency to deny a reality that may replace everything they stand for. What you will see as AI continues to get better alon

You're not being cynical. You're being overly optimistic here about creative professionals. The creative professional IS a target for replacement. What LLMs do best is specifically what the "creative professional" does.

Think about the implications of it. Don't just take it at face value. How much longer will he be able to KEEP his job.

A similar reply to a similar comment. Seems reasonable to me. Perhaps the disdain is simply because you disagree. In which case simply state your disagreement rather then construct a personal attack.

Great question. The grandma in Singapore is immediately put under a detoxification program. If she's near end of life she may be placed under legal pain management. Such details are outlined here: NATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE PRESC

I think their tentative claim is genuine. There's not much material gain in making that grand of a claim and its actually more prone to trigger disdain (of which yourself is a shining example).

Who knows. Could be genuine could be fake. I'm more inclined to say genuine given how minimal the incentive is to say it's agi. There's not much material gain in making that claim and its actually more prone to trigger disdai

I don't like bazel, but cmake is a piece of shit too. The logic is convoluted, documentation is over complicated and the language contains too many primitive functions and ways to shoot yourself in the foot. There's really nothing

Those rules weren't meant to generate societal harmony. They were made to have a contradiction which in turn could generate a good plot. Remember what happened in Isaac Asimov's iRobot?

Most science in the social science is essentially black box studies. We see what goes.in and observe what comes out without any formal understanding of what goes on in the box itself. Additionally there's something called the replicati

There are examples where policing does work. See Japan and Singapore. Also note those two places have the lowest incidence of drug use and homelessness. It could be because of the viciousness of the punishment. In the US the punishment matc

Not just that it doesn't integrate well with external tools. Cmake works better here. We had a googler at our company switch everything to bazel and it just slowed everyone down. There really is something about Google engineers, this s

Is there any more universal theory of music that has scientific basis? They call it theory but it looks to me more like a written music dialect.

No your just using old numbers. headcount has also shrunk. You can't use numbers and raw logic because it has various levels of inaccuracies and things you haven't accounted for especially when the numbers and data come from times

All of this has shifted during the layoffs. The numbers and experience on the ground has drastically changed.

But where are these drugs coming from? Why isn't the source cut off or stopped? Hint: lack of policing.
