Why? What's wrong with having others promote your ideas for free?

It's so sad and also terrifying when people call this real world programming.

Yes, soldier up, doggie! This world is not for pussies. Ditto for babies. Stop crying and man up! This world is for warriors. Fight and die!

I would add a point to the pros: - Even in the (very unlikely) case that nobody actually reads your post, language models will. They have to, because there's never enough training data. Your ideas will be merged into the text that LLMs

One could easily argue that bullying in school is a much more widespread threat to children and the government is okay with that.

Isn't noise in the data going to dominate output size of lossless compression? Wouldn't linguistics and vision be better off with direct measurements of predictive strength?

This is such a great time to be a lawyer. Just play any AI like a slot machine until it gives you incorrect results and then sue. Probability is a bitch.

Marketing. OpenAI needs to create illusion that their chatbot is more than just gradual evolution of past models that still needs a lot of work.

If you are very smart, chances are you will be able to obtain some power and influence. This is expected of AIs. Such effects can be however undone the same way you can undo effects of an explosion at a refinery (while punishing those respo

Only if the body is duplicated too. If I could just make my brain bigger, I don't think my odds would improve much. Quite to the contrary. An AI with higher dependency on compute power seems more vulnerable.

I don't get this scare about AI. Imagine, you are a genius with IQ 200. You have studied hard your entire life and you are now an expert in several fields. One day you decide to conquer the world. Will you succeed or not?

There are some 100T to 1P synapses in the 20W human brain (of which we have 8bn). Every synapse is a little molecular computer with several kinds of memory and its own inference and learning logic. AFAIK the biggest limitation of von Neuman

> Artificial Intelligence is moving fast We wish. AI is hardware-limited and hardware is not moving fast. We are very, very far from matching raw compute power of the human brain. Robots are even more limited compared to human body.

Fine-tuning is like statically linking a large library (available in binary form only) to a small app. (An optimizing linker can blend app and library code so much they cannot be distinguished.) Weights intended for fine-tuning are still a

I am all for evidence-based decisions, but you are asking for evidence that sky is indeed blue. Like seriously, you want me to prove that math is actually used somewhere? How about it being used in the evidence you are asking for? And when
