What is Gofct and does robotics industry generally just have had a slower adoption of ML because of the realtime domain requirements, I'm just curious and wondering aloud here.

Exponentially would make it computationally intractable by definition, and is the proposal suggestion that having simultaneous sensors can be used to reconstruct more information than the conventional way of using a handheld single sensor?

The problem there is that Apple's marketing speak of "unified memory" creates different and confusing connotations. It is not as surprising that modern chips stack or tile dies together, such as on phones and the like. edit:

Hah, I don't have enough experience to infer that. Do you mean by the orange rectangles in the image? It says two Micron brand SDRAMs. And looking closely is that some kind of mounting bracket? They look like metal handles surrounding

Is there a citation for this? I've found that the majority of Google searches tend to gloss over this hardware detail.

This question bothers me because I have never found a clear authoritative documentation. The more detailed sources say, contra the mainstream impression, that Apple Silicon's vaguely-named "unified memory" is technically a hy

I am no troll, and I hate to look like one when, to the appeal of Schrodinger, I am forced to remember that announcement this month about Claude or something acting in self-preservation when threatened during testing.

Has Hinton written any essay or general article recently? He goes on lots of interviews for sure, but I'd be interested in actually reading his arguments a little more thoroughly.

Good luck someone trying to gotcha AOC, I look forward to hearing her reply, with great relish.

I didn't understand your comment about Turing complete languages, could you explain that part please?

Well I never said nor meant that, rather, my third (3) sentence should've hinted that I already believe what you are saying in your second sentence (2). Whereas my second (2) sentence was handwaving at the notion that if the parent c

Then you're assuming an efficiency that is analogous to how Moore's law made it efficient for chips. Same difference. The problem is that AI scaling in the longest term is a completely unknown problem.

Sounds like safety not for people, but for the technocrats.

Is it certain or all advanced topics? I'm curious if it bans questions about quantum computing or fusion.

Well it's half-and-half, why did Apple struggle for so long with Siri and its pre-LLM era technology, during the time of AlphaGo and so forth, and then after Covid why didn't Apple pivot to something like their own version of Gemi

That's the Clever Hans argument, and the fact that you confidently use this unfalsifiable tactic ("Give it just the right context and it understands stuff!! It works!!" (Well, until the next iteration and then the next unti

Disagree, someone like the other commenter who points out LLMs don't even understand the domain concepts correctly versus someone who uses it anyways for corporate proprietary results have very different standards for what is acceptabl

That's amazing, as someone who struggles to find something useful to do with LLMs. How long does this take, several minutes or more? Do you need a paid version of Claude Code for this?

Not the person you were asking but IMHO it all reduces to computational complexity, e.g. biological evolution provided the computational efficiencies that ultimately produced conscious minds and beings, whereas it is not obvious what scale

> You want evidence that LLMs are not conscious? Train them on stories where machines say they aren't - they will say they aren't. That's called brainwashing, and unethical to do on potentially conscious minds... Point bei

That's the problem, he's a writer. He's not a research scientist like Hinton. If a writer uses his skills and stature to rehash a well-known argument about next-token prediction, then it is performative of his status and infl

There's a provocative argument raised in the article that I disagree with: 1. DeepFakes, generative image/video/AlphaFold type AIs are not conscious 2. LLMs are generative AI trained on human text samples 3. LLMs are not cons

Chiang also claimed that LLMs are text-based DeepFakes, I thought that was the more interesting point (maybe harder to argue correctly about).

His intention is irrelevant, as is "trying to highlight a fact" as if it were the final say: all Chiang is doing here is using fancy white-collar words to argue the same argument leveled against Hinton and others regarding next-to

There's a Reddit post with 20k upvotes currently, would be nice to see hn discussion on this too.

Then that's a fallacious argument on several levels, e.g. because as the reader I am also a human who can tell, and so on.

There are a few things being confused because people are having to learn/re-learn/re-discover basic computer science classes, but both formal specifications and informal specifications - such as pseudocode (I balk imagining how ma
