What we need is quality control of training data, AI-generated or not. If most humans agree that picture X is "a dog", then that picture represents accurately that concept. The training datasets I've seen so far are awful and

I don't think it depends on that assumption. It merely asserts that replicating behavior that indicates sentience does not equate sentience, and today we can see that this is correct.

by epups 4y ago
Sorry but I think you got the first part wrong. It is not at all arguing that sentience cannot emerge from non-sentient parts: Searle is a materialist. Some of your arguments, such as the fact that single neurons are also not sentient, are

To my knowledge, nordvpn is independently audited on its no log claims. Can you provide a source for what you said regarding logs?

In the link you provide, you can see that most median small businesses hold an average of ~30 days of cash buffer. This would already put them over the $250k threshold.

Certainly, but what should be clear here is that we are not rescuing a failed investment. We are not giving out money to those who lost on crypto or whatever other risky asset. People are getting furious because they think something analogo

I think you are referring to the $250k limit. It's not very practical for companies to diversify according to that limit. Apple has 50 billion in reserves, do you think they can find 200 thousand banks to spread that around?

Companies making payroll or not is where the general public's skin in the game comes from. We can let them fail by crossing our arms, but this would lead to mass layoffs and financial turmoil as otherwise healthy companies have to shut

Thank you for your reply. I do understand where you are coming from (although my reading is more circumscribed to psychoanalysis itself) but I think our views diverge. I don't think the conceptual framework of psychoanalysis is based i

I'm not sure why we should hold on to such tradition on creativity and certainty emerging from negativity - the reference that comes to mind when you talk about this is the "negation" concept from post-modern continental phil

It's pretty bad because Chomsky provided only two examples of things ChatGPT cannot do - even implying its underlying architecture could not ever do that -, and it's obvious that neither he, his coauthors or the editors at the NYT

I did not see a problem with Hinton's argument here - perhaps you would care to expand? If we are evaluating LLM's purely on outcome alone, it seems only fair to compare them to humans that don't have fully functioning cogni

I'm going to disagree with current comments here, I think the rationale for banning here is not far-fetched. It is analog to the guns vs knives argument in my opinion: of course you can kill people with any tool, but guns just make it

And what does it interrupt you with? Social media notifications. It's true that phones might be a better vector for it than most, but it's important to have clarity if we want to change anything. The article presents zero evidence

I think we should talk more specifically than "phones" or "the Internet". For example, the rise of "phones" from 2012 onwards coincided with the dominance of social media. I know this sounds pedantic but the au

I think it looks great as a proof-of-concept. The author also correctly identifies some of the challenges, of which I think the greatest will be consistency. I would explore picking out the best examples it generates, or a style from a game

Even if that were true, and I don't think it is, there are millions of jobs that are subsidized with public money and the public has no meaningful choice in them. Think defense contractors, public sector consultants, etc.
