Yeah it's up there with "they also believed at Dartmouth they will have AGI in a year"

Same for me. Neural networks in general. I first studied them in 2011, and I was like what? Just a bunch of partial derivatives? I keep looking at AI to check if now it's something else but it keeps being gradient descent. Okay, it&#x2

It's not the OP's definition, it's the definition of the word as used in mathematical practice, as evidenced by the Wikipedia article cited.

I am a mathematician and I never believed in this kind of mystique (maybe in other, more resilient mystiques). I have always expected machines will be able to do math. Since late 2018, I expected them to be able to do math long before physi

That is research math. If you read an introductory book (like Algebra: Chapter 0 by Aluffi, yeah the choice is a bit naughty), it doesn't assume (too many) prerequisites. And after you've read enough of these (e.g. when you have a

On the other hand, AI means actual experiments done in the physical world but coordinated by an entity that never sleeps and never gets depressed and can multiply itself manifold and always comes up with new ideas.

> Real-world systems are too messy to be specified I agree with this counterargument. I mean, you can verify that Euclid's algorithm computes the GCD. Or that quicksort produces a sorted version of the input array. But how do you ve

Yeah, I think this early era where every AI one interacts with is a clone of 4-6 big systems will seem quite quaint.

by bananaflag 2mo ago
An early glimpse at how continual learning will feel. Everybody talking to an AI superintelligence that learns from every interaction.

In 5 years we'll probably have locally run AI which could do something like this in a millisecond.

by bananaflag 3mo ago
Probably this will be done more and more often for works which don't have translation in some language because of low interest. E.g. old manuscripts, light novels, fan fiction etc.

HPMOR is one of those fanfics which make you feel a strong connection to the author, he really poured his soul into it ("rare vitamins" as he put it [1]), the good and the bad, kinda the exception that proves the rule. Probably th

I would have loved that too but that is quite impossible in this paradigm. Probably the way people in the 20th century envisioned AGI rising out of GOFAI (also quite impossible in its own way) would have produced an "alien" entity

Thing is, I started appreciating this way of looking at art only after reading anti-LLM arguments, and I am a bit angry at myself for not feeling it during the pre-LLM decades of my life, which would have been much enriched. There is this o

This effect will disappear when, instead of having 4-6 big models that everyone uses, we'll have trillions of models with memory / continual learning, each independently developing its own voice / personality, drowning all hu

I thought it more in the sense of: if a clearer-thinking group has higher status, then clear thinking would be encouraged among the population. (This did not happen that much, ofc.)

Could you elaborate? I think back in the 90s when I was a teenager I thought it to be a good thing that there is a rise in status for a class of people characterized by clear thinking.

What you are proposing is a barrier no AI and no human and no intelligence would pass. The idea of an AI that one-shots a task presumes that the one requesting the task already knows what the task is, and no additional expertise. Similarl

Every thing passes through the following stages: 1. AI cannot do something. 2. AI starts being able to do something, but one needs to prompt it carefully, so one needs to be an expert, see, we will always need human experts <--- this art
