Even more than the complex prompts, they give the bot access to a variety of functions implementing primitive actions, which are crafted to give helpful hints if the bot is struggling. For example, the code for mining a block: https:/

My guess is that the author misunderstands this quote from the paper abstract: >For instance, in Game of 24, while GPT-4 with chain-of-thought prompting only solved 4% of tasks, our method achieved a success rate of 74%.

Sure, even nuclear annihilation is asymmetric - the amount you spend on making the bombs is much less than the amount you can destroy with them. But that doesn't automatically imply that there are routes to global destruction that are

Sure, so to see how these things can be learned, we should be a little more precise about how they work. Each token is a vector, and from that vector we compute three things - a query, a key and a value. Each of these is typically computed

Here is an attempt that sacrifices technical precision for intuition. We're going to represent words as vectors (a sequence of numbers). We would like it to be the case that the value of the numbers reflects the meaning of the words. W

I don't think this is showing LLMs performing decoding. They're just using the LLM to propose possible words. The decoding is done by using another model to score how well a proposed word matches brain activity, and using that sco

I don't understand why this would be difficult to enforce? It's a tax on companies that are doing crypto mining, not on an individual running mining on their personal machine.
