We know no such thing. The human brain behaves nothing like an LLM. This article stands the test of time, whereas you appear to be subscribing to the fallacy that whatever strange new ideology comes out of silicone valley is the truth. Do c

Computer systems are not humans and never will be.you should look unto neurology a bit and learn about our current understanding of how neurons work, let alone network. The tech term is a total non sequitur compared to real neurons. Traini

It would seem that integrating a backdoor funnel to OpenAI is a bit of a security issue to those who care about such things. Yay, we can all train corporate models for free involuntarily. I guess it's time to check out Lineage OS and P

Oh that would be brilliant: if one bubble collapsing takes out another bubble in such a karmicly rich fashion.

Spot on. Observe those who care not about the fate of humanity happily trashing the uncomfortable truth this article raises. The entire AI red herring is a dumb road to go down. 99% of humanity is being dragged along in a bad film we dont w

"People in the trenches" That is rich. People on HN are often working software devs of some kind, but what do i know.

I don't know why folks would grow a dependency upon a middleman between you and your music collection. What's wrong with a usb pen drive full of tunes? You get to keep the files!

Why seek the approval of others before embarking upon a journey of educational discovery? I guarantee you that you will only be capable of fully appreciating the entire general area you are speaking of AFTER attempting some such project in

Hmm now which current hyped trend could the alchemical quest be compared to? Maybe we can smear all the copyrighted inputs together and lose the copyrights in the process? Magic! It's gold, i tell you!

That is true. I do not use windows anymore. None of my servers ever ran windows. One can only pretend that closed source operating systems ate acceptable for so long before one has to address the lack of configurability, in a deep sense. I

I suspect that there will be a LOT of TPU e-waste in about 3-5 years. One can call me reactionary, but I see a greater benefit in providing SIMD primitives for known bottlenecks, co-processing for known inner loops, than to continually jump

I find it odd that computer "science" is in a rush to prove a religious ideology while acting impatient with actual scientific study of consciousness and our extremely limited understanding of it. There is a palpable rush to bypas

That which animates a living organism. We know the external appearance only. What internal mechanisms may be are yet unknown or undefined. Some say that an organism is an antenna for a kind of interference pattern in a universal field of co

I will argue that a self reproduced organism that has organized its own self reproduction over the course of N generations and which metabolizes what inputs it can, defining a niche in the complex web of life != an attempt by one organism t

I do not think cognitive capacity is the motivation here: human children are our offspring. It's simple favoritism of ones offspring, which would seem to be a primary motivator here.

Bureaucracy. The EU is the European Union. 500 million humans. This legislation is a win for the common person. Trying to portray as foisted upon the public from on high = a propaganda twist too far.

Eliminating creative jobs is not progress, by most people's standards. Its a beancounter fantasy, but causes us to question all roles further up the chain as well. Perhaps someone can make c-suite jobs obsolete instead? Perhaps compute

I find the presumption of an AGI to be an article of religious faith. I realized, at some point this past year, that silicon valley is a religious center emitting theology and doctrine. I am an apostate. Technology does not have any innate

It would appear that it explicitly IS done with this intent. We are told that an LLM is a living being that merely learns and then creates, but yet we are aware that its outputs regurgitate combinations of uta inputs.

My issue is not NPR showing overt partisanship, but the way NPR trivializes global events of major import by interleaving them with softball human interest or culture stories in their primary news feed. Just totally lacking any organization
