I don't like the misleading titles either, but honestly if you want the real titles you probably want some kind of arxiv feed. The paper title is "Curious Replay for Model-based Adaptation" which is too dry for social media o

OK here is the arxiv https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.15934 called "Curious Replay for Model-based Adaptation" and from the abstract it says "we present Curious Replay -- a form of prioritized experience repla

I wasn't trying to do a rhetorical false dichotomy I was just trying to understand how something can be connectionist nonsense where adding more branches and data to a model will not make intelligence yet also so powerful and capable o

Thank you this is an amazingly comprehensive answer! Now I wonder what would be the workflow for using these compiler features. Like if I am a normal or bad C programmer and I write my program and use valgrind to check that it doesn't

I just want to emphasize in this comment that if you upgrade now to paid API access, then you won't get GPT-4 API access for like another month.

OK so they were abusing the benchmark, like the compiler's output would be faster on less contrived test data? Do I have to search what are fdo or pgo or cmov to understand the answer?

So from this hacker news title I definitely thought it was saying that when you give some AI agents a self reflection like maybe by putting an internal monologue loop then they unlock an emergent animal-like exploration behavior. But this i

I'm not a compiler expert but if it's a "very simple loop" is it still too complex for the compiler to make good machine code? Did they use a bad compiler on purpose? Or are computers just not yet fast enough to do a goo

I mean they actively deleted the sequences from GenBank in an unprecedented way so that makes it harder to find clear evidence.

I heard you can ask for exceptions if they agree that you are special. Some researchers got it.

So you are saying they are dangerous, but not because they are powerful, but rather because of misguided social policy created based on the mistaken belief that they are or will be powerful?

This is funny to me because almost all of the 'AI skeptics' have moved on from "LLMs will not make intelligence" to now saying "LLM intelligence is dangerous" or "LLM intelligence will be better than human

So this is just my own observation, but often when someone donates to an open source project it is actually to a nonprofit created by some opportunists in the name of that project and not to ones who wrote code.
