I see this as decidedly non-Humean. Why be Humean anyway?

QM provides the most accurate and verifiable predictions in human history. The follow on from that is that my thoughts can be conveyed to you over a sea of quivering electrons. The one catch is that you must accept that when you are not l

I have a degree in theoretical physics and a gold medal, which is to say I have endured the requisite intellectual beatings. Often the best interpretations of physical theory are unpalatable to the average person. The idea that there is in

This is a case of the metric becoming the target. The tools used to evaluate LLM performance are shaping the LLM. First you make your tools then your tools make you. If we take a formal systems approach, then an LLM is a model of a comple

"Claim: GPT-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics" s/prove/produce/g I'm inclined to regard an LLM as modelling a collection of fuzzy production rules which occur in a hierarchical collection of semi-form

Not really absurd, even broken clocks get the time right twice a day. If you read the clock at that time by chance, you may conclude that the clock is working better than it is. Is an answer that is correct by chance the same as one that i

Sounds practical, however, a new means of attack that requires me to verify afterward whether the correct target was attacked and whether claimed victories are real takes me back to the argument I gave above.

I'm not sure intuition is required. Please bear with me. If I ask a factual question of AI it will issue some output. In order for me to check that output, which I am apparently bound to do in all cases, I must check reliable sources,

> "Don't you mean from determinism to nondeterminism?" No, I mean exactly what I said. Given a system's state, one evolves the state using wave equation du jour, nondeterminism does not occur.

In physics, the change from classical to quantum theory was a change from determinism to probabilistic determinism. There is not one physicist on earth that would ever exhort you to use quantum theory where classical theory will do. Furthe

I find that bus factor 0 code occurs due to lack of paradigmatic structure or adherence, both internal and external. If you have a paradigm, even a not so great paradigm, I will grok your code and start making changes on my first day. So m

IQ tests measure who had a good day.

Their difference is about the same. If you think this is a brag you must have also missed me saying the scores are meaningless in my view. The questions are great fun though. A better way to get at intelligence metrics would be to test ov

The point is quite clear, if you think this is a brag you missed it though. Here it is again, pay attention; if a farmer has their IQ score change 15-20% by harvesting and selling their crop. Then it is very hard see a change in IQ score

Human beings' IQ test results can vary significantly based on how much money is in their pockets. For example, if a farmer takes an IQ test before crops are harvested and sold they score lower than after crops are sold, in the same ye

Two thoughts: 1) As far as I recall this program of formalizing mathematics fails unless you banish autoregression. 2) It is important to point out that a theorem in this context is not the same as a "Theorem" from mathematics. P

Well, I'm thumb bashing on my phone so I can't get too far into the details as I see them. I'd read and respond to any papers you have?

Of course we understand how they work, don't panic. Some of us are not even surprised at the results thus far, the good, the bad, and the ugly. We have understood how neural networks function for 50 years or more. I think the interd

It is remarkable how often this happens. We have a collection of separate but related technologies leading to the conception of a more general technology that does it all. We then proceed to build a towering inferno of complexity that is

Are you sure you are not comparing to human unreason? Most of what humans think of as reason is actually "will to power". The capability to use our faculties in a way that produces logical conclusions seems like an evolutionary a

This is not a theorem, it is a property of the model.

There is no issue with stating the model and an example of the modeled in the real world such as tulips. You are simply taking a favourable view on when the bubble "burst" occurs in order to see what you want. My point stands tha

There are no layers and I am trying to help you in your difficulty. It is not sound to look around and observe increasing valuations, or increases in the rate of growth of valuations and thereby conclude you are not observing a bubble. It
