That is just not in evidence. Seems like its nailing it to me. You ask about a scenario and it gives an appropriate answer. We have evidence that LLMs build models of the things they are learning about. Have a look at this paper: Do Larg

Here's a simpler scenario that doesn't involve reading: Me: There is a banana on the table. Someone comes and peels the banana and shows you that inside it, there is actually a carrot! Then they carefully stick the peel back so it

You have some typos and slightly weird constructions there - What do you think do they think is inside the box? I rephrased and had a go and gave it a bit more context (billy can read etc) and it passed: Me: There is a box on the table la

Well no one else was answering bbor's question and I think Carmack is a fairly credible person in tech in general. He claims to have read a handful of papers. 40 is more than a handful. OpenAI tried to recruit him he asked them to

John Carmack (ex Oculus, Id software) just had a really good interview about this: https://dallasinnovates.com/exclusive-qa-john-carmacks-diffe... To summarise: he thinks we've got most of the pieces now to maybe get w

While personally, the experience lived up to some of the hype, social media claims of it implementing entire front ends turned out to be fake. Clearly, this models performs well on in-sample tasks, and is far off on anything else. That wa

Ah I see. Viewed from earth. Yeah that would be interesting. The distances between stars are so vast, it might be barely noticeable, the way we can barely see the milky way now.

If we take the eventual heat death of the universe to be at about 10^100 years, the era we are in with stars and so on only lasts about 10^14 years. Which means light and stars and galaxies are actually just a tiny tiny blip at the start of

I had this when I was 8! It was actually really good. Quite complicated and innovative. You press on the square you want to go to and if there's a wall in the way it makes a noise. Really felt like creeping around in the dark. You had

Daniel Quinn (author of Ishmael) wrote about this sort of thing in a non-scientific sort of way. More from a philosophy standpoint. But anyway one point he makes that really stuck with me, is that in a hunter gatherer society, you might get

WHAT THE FUCK I bought hundreds of CDs from 1990 through to about 2005, some of them on that list, and I never had a clue about this technique. I knew about hidden tracks at the end after a silent gap - e.g. Nevermind had a hidden track aft

Its a chatbot, the UI is presented as a chat, so it seems natural to say hello. But also its fun to treat it like a real person and see how far it can go. See other comment where I tried to get it to imagine that it had feelings: https:&#x
