In Sweden, the union can blockade a company that they are "negotiating" with. That means that all other unions will refuse to work with that company, and this goes for both suppliers and customers of the blockaded company. No more

Correct. The courts can annul a baseless termination. But the employer can then still refuse to take the employee back. In that case the employer owes the employee 6-32 months pay in damages, and the employment contract becomes legally term

If GPT-4 has 10 terabytes (10^13) of stored memories, how long are the sentences it has stored if there are 100 (10^2) different words to choose from? Wouldn't that be a table of sentences less than 7 words long? 100^7 = (10^2)^7 = 10^

I agree. Another way to come to this conclusion is that the GPT-4 model is on the order of 1000B parameters, or on the order of a terabyte of data. That's not a lot of different sentences when you consider the combinatorical explosion.

I believe GPT-4 is able to perform some level of logical reasoning. Simpler models look very good on the surface, but there are some examples where this starts to break own. Example: "Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sis

Good tip. If you really want to work on a car but have a choice in which one, do some research. Cars vary a lot on how easy they are to work on.

Sure. But my point was that it is not an inherent feature in LLMs that they are frozen in time. Fine-tuning the entire model is very expensive. But fine-tuning a tiny parallell piece using LoRA is cheap both in CPU cycles and storage. OpenA
