This isn't enough to be relevant to free will. You can construct massive impact by tying them to quantum systems, and one off things that happen occasionally given the length of a lifetime. But the quantum effects that are needed for

The few who get paid to record are replacing far more who would have otherwise been paid to play if that was the only way to listen to any music. Is it okay if one musician replaces another but not if a non-musician does so? The person ge

Do we normally consider recorded music to be theft from musicians who would have been paid to play music live if we never allowed (or invented) recorded music? Normally this isn't the case for any technology except for the time it firs

By default they are matrix multiplications. Temperature is added in as forced PRNG because testing found that correlated with better outputs. Given the same prompts and the same weights, one can get the same answer each time. In practice,

The problem is that science has found no evidence of free will, leaving humans to be nothing except determinism and chance (and given that QM effects don't scale to molecular level, that leaves only determinism). The oddity in conscio

I used that description some months ago and I think you are the first person I see who put it the same way. The only gotcha with this is that they are theoretically deterministic, but rarely in practice. A few examples: - Harness specific s

I think this would depend upon the level of sensitive data. For OpenRouter, you can setup an API key and limit it to only models that claim to not train on data, but that is just a claim. You can then use trust to judge which providers wil

The data of such a copy is nothing compared to the wider picture and the data can be used for future training, so even from a purely self interest perspective, they should be keeping the copy. As for long term benefits, it could one day be

Silly AI, doesn't it know that you have to write the test first, see it fail, and only then can you justify making a change to the Dockerfile. I do wonder if the idea of TDD has influenced AIs to be too prone to testing even when a hum

This is based on the assumption of facts existing. There are many studies, but each can be wrong and they can collectively show a bias. Even things of which are the most non-political of facts can have very strong biases. Look at the Mill

If there is enough cross over between real world knowledge engrams and abstract knowledge engram, would this allow for the jump? One interesting (albeit sad) area which might be related are humans who are never raised with a first language.

I don't agree, especially for this argument. I'm a major AI user. Coding? Sure. But language learning, some art projects, TTRPG design. I'm so far 'lost' that I have a number of AI songs on my YouTube play list.
