Admins can turn off voting influence per user. I imagine shadowban comes with nonfunctional voting.

Isn't it worth the balance between stability and effort to go with LTS (long term support / security updates only)? You know the updates on LTS will be relatively much safer. The limit of potential breaking updates to every 2 year

You are absolutely correct. There are multiple algorithmic advances required in addition to hardware advances. Parrots have hundreds of millions to a few billion neurons, which are just as much parallel-local state-proceasing units as the o

I'm pretty sure human level cognition requires human level processing power. We are still multiple orders of magnitude away from that. A blind programmer still has human processing power. The "usually-sight" regions of the br

Hah. Well, back in ~2004 we had a different name for "creative accounting" to generate "revenue" while very little money chnages hands. Back then we called it fraud. But I guess terminology changes.

You're not implying there is corruption in the form of circular deal making in the AI/Tech industry, are you?

Minor correction here. You are correct about hardware being an issue, but the magnitude is much greater. You have a lot more than "thousands" of inputs. In the hand alone you have ~40,000+ tactile corpuscles (sensing regions). A

Okay, I'm intrigued. How in the fuck could the "nanny state" cause people to abuse heroin? Is there a reason other than "just cause it's my ideology"?

Any industry that stresses public infrastructure is in the same category. They all should be regulated and not handed, in the form of tax breaks, what should be public money to invest in additional infrastructure.

The executives are trying to maximize shareholder value. They are shareholders through options at the least. The board can also own shares (which should be illegal).

Ok, great. So he'll only lose 10% of his net worth per year if it fails. Better for some VC to lose 1% of their net worth per year. The point is, VC money for an AI venture is not chump change even for someone with a $10-$100MM net wor

LeCun's net worth is estimated between 5-10 million. Just for payroll of 10 AI researchers at 300k/yr would cost over $3 million per year. And his wealth probably isn't fully liquid. Given payroll + compute he would be bankru

The problem is crafted prompts and guardrails don't work very well, because these entire networks are trained on average internet garbage. And guess what's getting worse?

Are you an accredited investor? If not, you're probably SOL. Opportunities like this are only for the elites and oligarchs.

Here is a study of failure modes of using LLMs to control robots. I thought it was interesting and might spur some thoughtful discussion. The focus is on controlling robots, but I think a lot of these failure modes apply to agents in genera

Wow. Cross-tile performance was 0-2%. That's the challenge where you select all of the tiles containing an item where the single item is in a subset of tiles. As opposed to all the tiles that contain the item type (static - 60% max) an

Because AI are good at devolving to the highest score, regardless of test intent. For most problems "ask_hooman", or especially the plural, would be much more effective. So, the degenerate case would dominate and tell you precisel

The article references this review: https://openreview.net/pdf?id=mdA5lVvNcU And the review is pretty damning regarding statistical validity of LLM benchmarks.

I don't think it should be completely open ended. I mean, you could have an "ask_hooman" tool that solves a ton of problems with current LLMs. But that doesn't mean the LLM is capable with respect to the benchmark.

No, it is never too late to take action. Even taking action after a stent procedure reduces further risk: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronary-heart-disease/treatme...

That's why we have different distributions. Let one of the distributions cater to those who don't want control of their own computer.
