That's ease, not obviousness. I think if an AI solves a problem that has been known and unsolved for a substantial period of time dispute attempts then the solution could only be considered non obvious. If we make AI that can do 6 of t

I'm not suggesting you tell no-one about your ideas, but if you can't convince people who know the field, turning to laypeople instead is the hallmark of a crank. Extraornary claims should require extraornary proof, not a credulou

While I think the scale of American decline is overstated, I think there is a degree of Hemingway's law of motion. A desired task that requires the most skilled makes those skilled people in demand. If a power has significantly more

I have taken almost the opposite opinion, but with an important caveat. It applies to arguments in general, and increasingly there seems to be fewer and fewer 'pure' technical issues. I have observed a proliferation of people bel

I would characterise myself as being very left. Yet people who I perceive as to the right of me perceive themselves as much further left. I have always considered compassion the driving force underlying left wing views. I really can'

I think this is broadly similar to a thing I built as a Proof of Concept a while ( eek youtube video is 11 years old, time does fly) ago. It had a server that only listened on localhost and required a reverse proxy to make it available vi

It is my curse. Years ago, My daughter's science teacher said that school should teach a love of learning. I replied 'I thought the point of school was to make productive worker units in society' And while he explained to me

Yes, but when their run ends they tend to underperform. Every time.

As a counterpoint to that, I encountered a conversation where people were lamenting the toxic nature of communication and someone described being told to kill themselves for expressing what they felt was a compassionate statement. Someone a

Why hand written? Wouldn't a one-on-one interview be a better way to establish a broad evaluation of competency.

There are so many of these projects to wrangle AIs I think we might need an AI to go through, analysing each and amalgamating the good bits. It makes me think of MakeFiles. Make is sufficiently bad that everyone who has used it has consider

I remember seeing a 3d printer that was essentially a 2d printer which printed the surface and cut the outline and then laminated the sheets together which depending on the paper used would get you a block of something between mdf and plywo

That's essentially it, It's why you should spell everything in commonwealth English to make the model think you are more intelligent ;-) Although if models have emergent properties, it is conceivable, if unlikely, that it could ha

I wasn't explicitly stating the question, It was paraphrasing a common test question for world knowledge. That you don't need to have a ball, cup, table, or even the ability to perform physical actions in order to consider where

Is that learned common sense or has it learned the structure of that particular problem? What happens if you ask A small strawberry is placed in a large cup. The cup is placed upside down on a saucer on the kitchen table. Someone then lifts

Well if you want it go go off and try and validate the spice simulator and the kernel of the operating system that it's running on then that might be an approach to use.

I think you could probably train a model to consider boolean logic, modal logic, and mathematics reasonably well, but there is still a pretty big leap between that and thinking about things. Even the most basic questions such as put a ball

Interestingly, considering my post above, I think that view of the Overton window misrepresents what Overton thought. It was first and foremost a decription based on observation, but I think it conveyed that he felt that the Overton window

It's just a recognition of things done. If there is a greater message, most people could probably put a similar amount of work on a project for the community. Not many can write a lege cheque for a cause. Many who can, do so and consid

But the combination of the two reduces security in the same manner as absurd password requirements cause people to write down their passwords. A strong security measure without a reliable way to do the things you want to do induces people t

My comment was, in-fact, a subtle reference to this. The best opening I got from my own TinyStories trained model was. Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a large town. Which I just love as an evocative idea.

I wonder how much variation there would be if you got a single model to produce a couple of gigabytes of tiny children's stories. Might be an interedting research project.

I think for that instance to carry weight you would have to provide evidence that the mosaic of books were the product of different people using AI. If it is just one person doing variations on the same thing then it wouldn't mean ver
