No human being would exist in the scenario described in my opinion. The scenario pre-supposes that humans would need to contribute some kind of value in order to justify their existence. I personally doubt any human being would be able to g

You must have already answered that question if you choose to scan your brain. Otherwise, you wouldn't get your brain scanned in the first place.

There was a lot of emphasis put on insulation values, thermal mass, and temperature differential. Half of the dog houses were like 20 pounds and open to the air on all sides. We put a 150 lb garden on top of ours to act as a heat sink and t

Even engineering contests are like this. I remember back in college there was a sustainable dog house competition with a very clearly defined rubric. My partner and I min/maxed the hell out of it and won first prize and $1,000, while e

I don't see a contradiction. Self belief means you believe that you can accomplish what you set out to so are willing to bet on yourself and take risks. Feeling like an imposter is a motivational drive from the other end of the spectru

Pretty sure that it would require that P=NP if such an event happened. So if factorization was cracked, everything else would be too.

Except in the real world we are allowed to offload the computation to a computer and have more time to double check things. Nice solutions are necessary due to time and resource constraints that exist within an educational setting.

I'm sure humans will always enjoy chess and art regardless of how much better AI is at it. In the same way, there will probably always be mathematic hobbyist who study math for fun. But I seriously doubt that in the near future there w

The problem is that Olympians are kind of just by definition outliers. Is this competitor a cheater because he can sustain 20 watts higher than others for most of the race? Or is he just a physical outlier who made it to the Olympics becaus

Yes it's easier and not too different from Turing's argument. However, Turing made this proof in 1936, you know, before the concept of pixels exists.

Same reason we might choose to have sex instead of masturbate. Masturbating may be faster and easier. But sex is fun and you can do it with friends.

I suspect Phi-3 is not robust to normal human input like typos and strange grammar since it's only trained on filtered "high quality" tokens and synthetic data. Since it doesn't need to waste a ton of parameters learning

That's the human's job for now. A human reviewer might have trouble catching a mistake, but they are generally pretty good at discerning a report about a mistake is valid or not. For example, finding a bug in a codebase is hard. B

You are missing the point of the model in the first place. By having higher quality RLHF datasets, you get a higher quality final model. CriticGPT is not a product, but a tool to make GPT-4 and future models better.

They used two non-mutually exclusive techniques. Phi-3 is mostly a curriculum training breakthrough. By filtering training set for high quality tokens and training on synthetic data, they were able to achieve great results. Gemma-2 is a dis
