What if I train a model on one snippet of code, and it always produces that snippet of code for all inputs? If I did not have a license to use that code, would laundering it through a model absolve me of violating the license?

I think the training data is just image/caption pairs. I don't think there's any notion of localizing or detecting specific objects in the training images.

I feel like I don't grasp the 'boost' concept. The white paper says: >$boost=XX—is used to alter the ranking of specific results by XX (e.g. $boost=1 would not alter the ranking, while $boost=2 would make a result two tim

>Crypto critics need to reconcile these two conflicting ideas: “I’m not stupid” and “I missed out on 100x gains.” This guy is like the poster child for misguided results-oriented thinking.

Radiance fields really feel like they're taking off. Reminds me of GANs a few year ago, where the number of papers seemed to start growing exponentially one day.

Is empty space also a computer, because while we might naively interpret it as "all zeros", with the proper location and time-dependent mapping, it can be seen to be running Doom?

Super short version: You want to evolve programs. Randomly mutating programs is hard, most mutations break things. Instead, ask a giant language model to propose edits, in the form of diffs (like the ones you get with git or whatever).

The argument presented that a hot bar of iron would qualify as conscious if consciousness is computation also concludes that a hot bar of iron qualifies as a computer. Do you believe that a hot bar of iron is a computer? If your answer is

I think it depends on your perspective. If you believe the options are bitcoin goes down or bitcoin goes up, then you're rooting for more pain if you're rooting for bitcoin to go down. But if you believe the options are bitcoin

Maybe I'm missing a key detail here. Let's say Alice, Bob and Carol (and no one else) are all mining bitcoin. For simplicity, one block is mined per day, the block reward is worth $300, and so the system is in equilibrium when t

I remember reading that it's hypothetically possible for Bitcoin to get caught in a trap if the price falls extremely precipitously. The difficulty only gets adjusted after a certain number of blocks, and if the profitability of minin

I'm not saying the task is too simple. To draw an analogy, imagine you wanted to understand whether a particular creature/agent/machine was sentient. And I said, "I will show you that it can add two numbers together.&qu

We don't judge whether people or animals are sentient based on how well they spread their genetic material. No one says, "humans must be sentient because they have increased their population to 7 billion". Similarly, we sho

Regardless of how artificial or real neurons work, does performing the "predict the next word given this corpus" task constitute sentience? And if so, does that mean an n-gram model is sentient? And even if LaMDA were sentient, w

It's interesting that the centipede game experiment uses a high rate of appreciation - doubling the payoff every round. On the one hand, this offers strong incentive to defect if you strongly believe the next player will defect - yo

In what sense has it been trained how to use any other string that is not also true for the string "I don't know"? Surely that string is perfectly common in the corpus of internet text used to train these models. Obviously i
