I don't care about multiple types of parenthesis per se, I do care about there being a spanning set of grammatical constructs. I don't think period and comma alone would be enough. You need to have constructs for compressing and a

I must say, truth is an absolute defense, and I'm certainly one to both value calories down the gullet crude and efficiently, and to not be terribly aware of what goes on in the font fetishizing circles (no disrespect). But I do unders

I know your examples are intentionally extreme to prove a point, I'm biting anyway. Parenthetical type grammar with an explicit start character and end character is pivotal for encoding information unambiguously. You can't replica

I get you mean chatGPT has solved the problem, but it feels as if its solved the problem without answering the deep questions. We still don't really get how the brain does it or the answer to any of the deep linguistic questions, inste

There's no shortage of mathematical notation and delimiting characters. Eg you could write your machine screws as .25+20i. Obviously you raise e to the power of your screw and you get a rotation rate in the complex plane, and a width o

I'm sure that's a ton of fun for anyone trying to write a natural language parser. LMAO using the end brackets as start brackets and vice versa.

I don't see how this could possibly go wrong. Its not like the machine ever outputs superficial bullshit explanations which fall apart under scrutiny but would seem fine to non-technical execs. Utopia at last.

There's two camps interested in studying the brain. One is interested primarily in figuring out human physiological function, of which the brain is a most difficult challenge. The other is interested in figuring out consciousness and c

To say what the other guy said but shorter, real (continuous) numbers are uncountably infinite because if you tried to write out a real number you'd need a countably infinite number of digits. For every desired length of precision n, t

I'm not so sure on the digital part. I don't want to type a lot, but there's a lot of scientific backing to the premise that the brain waves, not the on/off states of neurons, are the salient feature upon which reasoning

You're conflating skepticism that LLM's "solve the mystery" with contrarian "AI denialism". The former is very sanely grounded and frankly there's a lot about the brain that is still a mystery (yes the alg

In the limit of 100% confidence of prediction, does it not equate a model? Put another way, when all the probabilities get set to either 100% or 0%, do you not simply arrive back at classical True/False logic?

This is simply impossible. The premise that the brain is a big lookup table is appealing, and that sort of 1 neuron = 1 represented item concept certainly happens at the initial stages of the sensory pipeline, but if you attempt to scale it

I'm not hopeful that "seeing the map" (multimodal training) will make the difference everyone is hoping for. The transit map is going to be the exact same information as the lists, but coded in the learned design language of
