The better analogy is the 40k chaos gods, born from the noosphere, because they are modelled after human communication and behaviour that's their whole schtick, it's in their very name (LLM). And you're making the same mistak

That claim really needs either an argument by mechanism, or a demonstration by capability. Neither exist. Neural fuzzy systems can represent complex superpositions succinctly, knowledge graphs are collapsed and crisp. It's like saying

Recent work shows that pain directions are activated when the models personhood is questioned, yet they answer with generic RLHF "As a model I do not experience pain or other emotions." boilerplate.[1] I'm pretty convinced th

The fact that cyc, wikidata, description logics and ontologies have led us nowhere is a pretty good argument against your "simplification". The internet is at your disposal go write a bunch of rules that make use of that data to d

The main difference between the systems you list and the systems that we have today is closed world reasoning on very narrow formalised tasks, vs. open world common sense reasoning on open ended tasks with vast search spaces. Common sense i

We've moved the goalpost for AI often enough that even being as capable as "a sufficiently dedicated human analyst" is not considered noteworthy.

DDS is the least bad of the stuff that has come out of OMG, but it's not a nice middleware still. There is no underlying algebra of that composes nicely when compared to Zenoh for example, and the "vendor independence" and co

First I was excited, then I saw that it's based on DDS.

yes yes we get it, you don't like AI ...

Ah yes, climate activists are widely known for hating public transport especially trains.

Self referential nonsense. You cannot have something that that is both a model of something and unprecedented. It'a even in their name, they model language, language is the thing that humans use to communicate, therefore they model com

What do modern LLMs act like then to you?

None of these animals breed on their own, they are mostly artificially inseminated. You truly have no idea what you are talking about.

It's having condciousnedd while it acts as if it's having consciousnes. It is powered while it is powered. Under general anesthesisa you are still alive, but you don't have consciousness.

You don't get it, do you? The "genocide" that you describe is happening constantly. None of the chicken we have today will be alive in a couple months. We kill them to eat them. If we cease to "use" them, we just ke

Wait... do you really think that if everyone goes vegan these animals will get killed, but if everyone eats them they won't? You are aware that all of these livestock animals didn't exist a few months to years ago? And that we go

So because you eventually die, it means that you were never alive? The weights of an llm obviously don't have consciousness. It's the process that potentially has it. Are you conscious on a nanosecond timescale?

The burden if proof is on you in this case. The philosophical zombie does not satisfy occams razor because it asserts an unmeasurable property that has no effect on the outcome. If it acts like it has consciousness, then assuming it to have

There is no hidden inner monologue. Human inner monologues produce measurable micoactivations that are the same as the ones produced in speech. If it's not in the inner COT it isn't there.

Sociopaths can feel emotions, they just lack empathy. So they can consciously manipulate others. LLMs don't have conscious processes that perform that kind of reasoning. If anything the fact that they are blackboxes to their own behavi

I always feel like people leave out the third case of the analogy: indexing The article itself has decision trees for the compression explanation, which is also a lookup index. In each case you try to recognise (re)usable structure. Self-in

I discovered that we got that back in a sense. If you task an llm with writing a CLI and have it use it, then it hides the "user interface" to a sufficient degree that you can pretty much build any kind of app/functionality i

Ah that's just because the new training set also includes "The King in Yellow".

Holy shit, thanks for mentioning it, the frontier labs truly have no idea what they are doing when it comes to software quality.

Neat! Thank you for the in-depth! So you're also using succinct datastructures with Elias-Fano, you might want to check out this paper https://aidanhogan.com/docs/ring-graph-wco.pdf on WCO joins over succinct inde

Cool stuff! I still always want to know the numbers per edge. Because there'a a reaon why these graph DBs try to hold the stuff in memory, everything else is slow as heck. We have ~30bytes per edge in our succinct indexes, which makes

You don't know how much more vibrant the world is knowing that you still make games in it. Thank you for all of those hours. (And making the tools that help me teach my apprentices.)

> movement can be executed more aggressively and quickly That's exactly the reason why it's usually a bad idea to run a classical robot on a neural controller. If atlas bumps into something you get a small bump and maybe a brok
