If a state can’t wait to regulate something of which it is quite unclear if it needs regulation at all, then you usually find lobbyists in the background. As a citizen I think there is high value in keeping the set of regulations as small a

I think going from the difference in environment in learning first words to the meaning of those words being fundamentally different for everyone is a non sequitur. Specifically when not defining the ambigous concept „meaning“ and without s

This may well be true. But it also may well be not true to the extend that it can explain that decline in US and the differences to similar countries. So far I’ve not seen much data to back up the alleged causality in much of this entire di

To make that useful to the question you may want to show that this is different than in US, which sees also a lot of immigration. I added a comment that shows the numbers are also quite normal in UK and France. That should also be accounted

Here is a better chart to back this up. Data from France, UK, Germany and US: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?location... Seems pretty unique to US. Thus I conclude that most of the speculation in t

But why is this trend then not visible in Germany? All of what you say applies there too. https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Gesellschaft-Umwelt/Bevoel...

Your post touches two points worth to think about: The test for consciousness: if we do have zero criterion, how we are gonna find out if something is conscious? That is already a good indicator how much we do not know about the „mechanism”

For the tinkerers: here are some huggingface available models that are really open source (Apache or BSD license as far as I evaluated it): - RWKV (raven 14B) - GPT-NeoX-Chat-Base (20B) - Flan-T5-xxl - Fairseq Dense (13B) - Pythia Chat Base

Your proposal seems to me to put socio-economic problems on the back of individuals. Imagine what they would have to do. For every line of code they would have you predict all the socio-economic consequences. I rather think such problems sh

Not much is known, but that seems a really really strange story of the kind: didn’t you think about the potential consequences?

In my opinion the problem with these is engineering a good prompt. I read of lots of people only getting nonsense or repetitions, and learned a bit from what they shared. These models are not chat bots. Vicuna is more friendly in that regar

I started with ggerganov’s llama.cpp GitHub repo, and went from there. But then again, I know some programming, statistics and machine learning, so it may not be for you, I cannot judge that. Models can be found on huggingface.co, and I’d s

From my experience with llama.cpp and oobaboogas webui I can say they are amazing, at least on my gaming pc. I’m absolutely astonished at the speed and quality of llama, alpaca, galactica and vicuna (the >10B parameters ones). Make no mi

Animals seem ok with it. At least they did not indicate otherwise so far.

Let’s assume we find some mathematical models for a causal structure of consciousness that meets many of the criteria described by usual humans and maybe phenomenologists. We later find some possible physical instantiation. And here comes s

Can you help me understand why it may not be? At this moment I’m thinking political leanings are normative, and must just not go against facts.

Right. On top of that I just ordered a technical book - new and for quite a price. Only to then find someone else‘s notes starting on page 13. Seems dark patterns are not enough anymore, and they opt now for outright fraud.

This. It’s not clear and I see a lot of ways the story could go differently. If the past is a guide, another ai winter is much more likely than agi. Intuition feels the same when it’s right and when it’s wrong and it’s not a guide to decide

I use duckduckgo as default, but whenever I need just and exactly some specific keywords, then I use startpage.com. They seem to be the only ones not assuming I am stupid and/or do not know what I want.

It’s just me, but I do not call anything without a clear time line a „forecast“. Is it a forecast if you cannot decide clearly if it has happened or not? What then have you forecast? Edit: s/prediction/forecast/a

I’ll second that and add that in the south of Germany also Bretzels and Obatzda is a thing [1], which is a very tasty creamy cheese and spice mix you dip the Bretzel in. But this time you do not cut the Bretzel, but break off the pieces at

Right. Thanks for that thoughtful comment, now I remember epsilon and delta. Just want to add that this way of looking at it is only helpful if reals are the agreed upon number set. If we talk about rational numbers the 1/3 + 1/3
