I call GPT an AGI 1. To highlight that the system passes the turing test and has general intelligence abilities beyond the median human 2. To piss off people who want AGI to be a God or universal replacement for any human worker or intellec

Can I please convert you into someone who summarily barks at people for making the LeCunn Fallacy rather than making the LeCunn Fallacy yourself? And can you stop talking about AGI when it's not relevant to a conversation? Let's c

It would be nice if it could diffuse right on the AST. That would ensure each generated item passes a syntax check, without the waste of rejection sampling

Zotero is great for organizing and annotating papers, keeping notes, and building bibliographies. You can create libraries and sub libraries according to topic, and also create libraries for projects or reading lists. You can file items int

It's important to begin violently opposing, not just disagreeing with, the theory of engagement and revenue creation. It must become dangerous indeed for those who decide to pursue those goals.

In the late 90s and early 00s you could totally have handwaved a hard SF scenario where gravitational waves from a Warp drive. Einstein calculated gravity Waves in 1911, and we saw the first evidence of them in the decay of a 1970s binary

Well, not in a way that you don't already accept for general relativity and quantum mechanics, and not for any metaphysical reasons. But did you know that GR predicts we can build a sub light star drive that shields passengers from acc

OP is not wrong about the bin packing, since it relates not only to physical loading of containers, but also the optimal "loading" of schedules in time! The insight is to see time as a spatial dimension - then a set of shipping ta

I agree that the argument that there must be no free will because everything already happened is a circular argument. It simply equates determinism with the antithesis of free will, without proving why that should be the case, or even givin

I already use the AI to help me come up with ideas that I can't come up with on my own. I was facing homelessness and drug addiction last year.. counseling myself with a I helped me break my isolation, reach out for help with housing,

The handwriting output plugin comes first, preempting the techno regressivists. They are going to be slower to the punch than the AI community, because their position is based on educational privilege and a sluggish unreasoning bigotry. It&

Effective AI writing is not a single prompt. You're projecting a judgement based on a simplistic idea about AI writing, which throws away the incredible creative potential of the medium if used by an honest writer. If my final piece is

So dismantle it and make a mess again and start building your draft that way. You can tell the AI to be destructive as well, to just randomly rewrite whole sections you don't like for whatever reason. All of this is stuff that good wri

I hope next generations will be okay with being friends with AIs and human AI hybrids that use AI to do their speaking for them. If they don't, I'll moralize them like a judgemental Romanian grandpa, lol. Including an ever growing

I got the AI to write excellent Romanian, both standard and rural dialects and styles. It wasn't hard. The standard remaining was a default, and I was able to dial in a rural character in less than 10 rounds of back and forth conversa

A fantasy book that comes to mind is The Dark Tower, by King. The universe is unraveling into a bundle of broken times and locations, falling apart because the old society "moved on" to another plane of existence... It doesn'

Op told a story about his dad, who was a cool guy. My dad was like him too. OP also said he's like his dad because nix goes over his head. That's where I disagree. I think op feels that way only because op doesn't know enough

I'm okay with compatibilist deterministic free will theories like those from dennet or tegmark. Those say that free will is possible if a being establishes a computationally independent substrate and uses that to compute optimal choice

A for loop with more than four lines of internal logic probably does need to be refactored. A for loop with less lines can usually be turned into a list comprehension or invocation of the map function. But a four loop with just a few lines

For the candidates that write 10 print statements, why not simply reject them? They're either ignorant or smartasses... Now if they do the right thing when told to write a loop, you just let them in the door, lol! Does HR really think

I remember how happy I was, as a 17 or 18 year old geek, when I saw AOL collapse under its own executive hubris after the com crash. Our family had already switched from the $25 a month AOL to a cheaper $9.95 dial up service a couple years

I would say that whether it is derivative or transformative depends on things like the context and content, the way it would if you used a human engineer. Was the AI/engineer prompted in a way designed to elicit a close derivative of O

Let's assume that both humans and AI can produce statements that are new and useful, and can both produce statements that violate copyright. For example a human can operate an illegal a video tube website where they serve verbatim copi

To make that enforceable, it would be nice to prove the AI was trained on it. You might insert a "sleeper/activator" pair. The sleeper is a watermark that the AI will recall verbatim. To make it provide the sleeper, we give

You need to do more than include a link to the license to comply. You need to include the entire source code needed to compile the derived system. For an LLM that would include: 1. Training data 2. Training code and metrics 3. Hyperparamet
