It's more to do with unrestricted circular self-reference than excluded middle but what you're saying makes sense. Without excluded middle there is no contradiction. There is something called Curry's paradox which is similar.

This is incorrect. The number of morphisms is not what makes mathematical objects more or less structured. What is correct is that the category of sets does not have constraints for morphisms between its objects. Bartosz is equating morphis

That's entirely up to you. I'm just explaining how the system works. Once you realize how the whole thing is engineered the rat race starts to look like insanity.

Ok great, next time I run into you I'll make sure to remind you that large language models are not intelligent as I conceive of the word "intelligent".

You misunderstood what I meant. Prompt the LLM with the sudoku puzzle and ask it to solve it and not write python. Human can do it, LLM can not.

Which part do you disagree with? Money is a way to control the masses and it has always been used that way. The technology currently exists to do away with all wealth disparities and achieve a true meritocracy wherein individual talents are

Let's think about what it means to "make money". The phrase itself is already misleading because no one can make money, money is "made" by the central banks by changing some numbers in mainframe databases. These mai

Ok, let me know if you can get an LLM to solve sudoku puzzles by prompting it with information on backtracking and recursion.

The open web was a nice idea but the economics for it were never sustainable. Ads lead to SEO spam and AI can be easily hacked because no one has figured out how to make statistical correlations "unhackable" so you'll eventua

What is your opinion on industrial pollution?

by climatologist 3y ago
What exactly are you confused about? Plenty of people can learn about constraint propagation and integer programming but LLMs do not have the capability to solve integer programs because LLMs (and neural networks in general) are not general

What exactly do you want me to state up front? A general intelligence can solve general problems when those problems are formally specified. Sudoku is a good example of a formally specified problem that can be solved by most people but not

It kills lab animals in small does and that's plenty of evidence for me. You don't have to be convinced but the evidence is very clear for me. Rates of cancers and dementia have been steadily increasing since the introduction of s

I think they are not good at expressing what exactly they fear. Both understand that people are embedded in culture and tools which act as cognitive aids and guides. Their fear is that people will start trusting these artificial systems too

I think everyone should have a test in their back pocket for testing claims made by companies making AI tools. Mine is backtracking sudoku solver with constraint propagation but that's because I know LLMs are incapable of recursion and

If you are happy with the tool then continue using it. My point was a simple one, any generally intelligent software system would have given you an optimal solution by accounting for what people know about backtracking and constraint propag

by climatologist 3y ago
That's a good attempt but the coroutine solution is incorrect. See if you can figure out why and how to improve it. You can also ask it to propagate constraints and see what happens.

by climatologist 3y ago
Ask it to write a backtracking sudoku solver with coroutines and/or fibers and let me know how it performs in your language of choice. We are nowhere near generally intelligent software systems.

It has no understanding of praise or punishment, it is simply a statistical engine that correlates tokens (which are not even words but byte sequences that can be made into words by concatenation).

I thought that Tegmark made a really good point about the advantage that governments and militaries[1] with AI have over ones without. That's usually how technology becomes embedded in society because the people and cultures that utili
