Not at all, we are building conceptual reasoning machines, but it is an entirely different technology than GPT/LLM dl/ml etc. [1] [1] https://graphmetrix.com/trinpod-server

There are no LLMs that reason, its an entirely different statistical process as compared to human reasoning.

Actually, it's not about pointy, but about the high rise as a building type - structure as a tall tree. Wright's prototype for this is Price Tower in OK [1] [1] https://www.gibson-design.com/sketch-price.html

Hmm, you think the mayor defunding the fire department had no role to play in this? Don't you find it curious that the mall to fully survive the fire without damage had private fire fighters with water? [1] Doesn't this imply tha

Not sure why you would want to make excuses for management incompetence. Do you agree that if Santa Ynez reservoir had been full as it should have been, that there would have been no issues with fire hydrant water flowing for the Palisades?

by gibsonf1 2y ago
I'm asserting that anybody saying anything has nothing to do with the actual facts. I just offered you a 2025 aerial view of the reservoir designed to provide water at pressure to hydrants that is empty, for example. The Fire Chief w

How does the statement of "not taking fire risk seriously" explain the fact that the Santa Ynez Reservoir was and still is empty, and is a primary uphill source of water for those fire hydrants, or that the mayor defunded the fire

I'm not sure what you mean about forests not involved: "The fire was first reported at about 10:30 a.m. PST on January 7, 2025, covering around 10 acres (4.0 ha) of the mountains north of Pacific Palisades" [1] California sp

1. Santa Ynez Reservoir right above Palisades was empty for the past year, depriving fire hydrants of water. (State incompetence) 2. La City defunded fire department removing 100 fire trucks from service due to maintenance. (City Incompete

A key issue in the LA fires was bad management at all levels of government that could have prevented an order of magnitude of the damage (If procedures from the past were followed).

A technology as unreliable as LLM's is definitely not the biggest thing since the WWW, and perhaps will fade out in time except for niche cases where reliability is not important and users are willing to pay the enormous amount it cost

The idea of adding hallucination to medical advice seems very dangerous.

by gibsonf1 2y ago
Hmm, is faster hallucination better than slower hallucination?

If the automated reasoning worked, why would you need an LLM and its fabrications?

by gibsonf1 2y ago
I'm not sure having statistics with fabrication try to extract text from PDF's would result in any mission-critical reliable data?

World War 3 is clearly a bigger problem than the climate.

Well, if they have hearing, they can build a world model based on that sensation. So when someone talks about the fall, they can remember the sound of leaves hitting other leaves when they fall. The senses give us measurement data on real

Not at all. I'm saying there is a difference between statistics about word data and working with space-time data and concepts that classify space-time. We do the latter https://graphmetrix.com/trinpod-server

by gibsonf1 2y ago
They don't have world models, they have word models. A very big difference indeed!

by gibsonf1 2y ago
Words are not reality, they are just data serialized from human world experience, without reference to the underlying meaning of those words. An LLM is unable to build the conceptual space-time model that the words reference, thus it has n

by gibsonf1 2y ago
You're missing my point. Words are simply serialized thoughts. When we humans read the words, like you would be doing for this sentence, you are building a model of what those words mean based on your conceptual understanding and exp

by gibsonf1 2y ago
That's pretty funny to think that an LLM can be certain or not, given its just a statistical output. What would it be certain about given that it has no model of the meaning of any of the words in its output to compute certainty in th

by gibsonf1 2y ago
Reality is continuous and always changing. Space-time is just our human way of focusing on aspects of reality to understand it. Space-time is about human perception, not the reality we are trying to understand.

The key to human intelligence are concepts. We just use whatever language we choose to symbolize the concepts.

Indeed it is, but that fundamental concept is for human understanding of how physics works based on how we perceive/think about the universe, its not the metaphysics of the universe itself.

by gibsonf1 2y ago
I'm a big fan of Wolfram's physics project, however, he seems to be confusing thinking about physics (computation) with the continuous and ever-changing substance of the universe itself. Time is a human idea to grapple with the fa

The fundamental flaw with Lenat's approach is that humans do not think with first order predicate calculus. We do not juggle a bunch of statements/rules the way Cyc does, but have a very fast, efficient and powerful conceptual ap
