I do not think they need to be people in order to oberve that people behave in a manner that resembles bigotry. Is it your contention that the the epithets and derision do take the same form as bigotry but do not qualify as such because the

It depends on what you mean by skeptisism. Skeptisism about homeopathy is a different class of beast to climate change skepticism. I am absolutely not saying that all arguments on the limitations of LLMs are bigotry. I just noticed that s

There are concerns that are not in this area, regarding privacy, access, fiduciary duty, and the right to contest automated decisions. These are all things that people want to address with regulation. People make the problem that they h

I don't think it is a large number of people creating this perception, I think it is more their depth of feeling about the issue. I am often struck by the similarity with bigotry about migrants, where they are portrayed as unreliable

I think any such contract would have died with the first propaganda, or deliberate framing to advance an agenda. I think assuming a writer had your best intentions in mind has been unwise for quite some time. Murdoch built an empire exploi

I don't believe I have heard of KSR before, but I have been telling my friends that an incident like this is in our (the world's) future. It is feeling more and more imminent with each passing year. And then there will be cries of

I can see why the QKV gets used but I can't help but think that thete's got to be a better mechanism with turning a pair of vectors into a new vector and a significance field. Geometrically I imagine the process of attention like

The books were absolutely an exploration of the suitability of the rules, combined with asking what do we actually want. He was very clear to stipulate that the laws themselves were more than the text that represents them, no word play or

I was thinking more of it as Taylor's inadvertent formation of animal rights. He thought it was absurd, but other people looked at it and went "You know, you might be right there"

I have a similar long term interest in this field. It has been quite frustrating encountering arguments that have been extensively debated for years be presented as if they were new revelations. In all my debates with people in the last few

This is the first time I have encountered the term TESCREAL. It seems to be a reductive and divisive labelling. Other than as a way to point at someone and declare "He's one of them!" Does it have any purpose? It's like

I have always wanted to make a n-cube machine. I prefer the rp2350 myself, and have been quite keen on the thought of what you can do with PIO <-> PIO between chips. And yes the main goal is to figure out how to program the thing in

The way we measure gravity is by observing that it behaves how we would expect it to. We don't actually know if this is correct. The same goes for consciousness, if something behaves how you would expect a conscious thing to behave bu

Really? That has not been my experience. I have seen people say "you're a next token prediction machine" but only in a similar way one might say "you're a cup of old lard". Not actually meaning it literally. I

That's still gambling, you've just made yourself the house. Developers have to gamble on whether they will be better with AI or without. The no excuses criteria means if they choose AI and it performs well, you both win, if it per

The casino runs the probabilies on the customers too. You get the Manhattan because it, on average, gives them a return. They probably aren't making a loss on the $3.10 Manhatten either.

If they cannot mention it how do you know that they have not taken up the offer? I agree that people will rationalise being in a losing situation as a winning situation. That does not change the fact that winning situations can exist.
