99% of the comments here have no iota of a clue what they are talking about. There's easily a 10:1 ratio of "it doesn't understand it's just fancy autocomplete" to the alternative, in spite of published peer reviewe

Because it IS wrong. Just months ago we saw in research out of Harvard that even a very simplistic GPT model builds internalized abstract world representations from the training data within its NN. People parroting the position from you and

You are incorrect and it's really time for this misinformation to die out before it perpetuates misuse from misunderstanding model capabilities. The Othello GPT research from Harvard months ago demonstrated that even a simple GPT model

Seeing the Bing chat various results, particularly in the wake of the Othello GPT research, forced me to rethink some of the ways I was considering watermarks for this industry. I think 'sentience' has been a red herring. An LLM c

There's more to it than what the article goes into. For example, Ramses II's forensic report says he appears to have been a Lybian Berber. The Greeks told a story about how there was a conflict between Danaus, the leader of Lybia,

Exactly. Everyone is like "oh LLMs are just autocomplete and don't know what they are saying." But one of the very interesting recent research papers from MIT and Google looking into why these models are so effective was find

What would be much smarter would be using user chat histories plus match scores to simulate initial small talk between users which leads either to a simulated rejection, ghosting, or escalation to further steps. Then suggest escalated match

Way too many responses to your question are trying to engage with debate over products rather than focusing on the topic of monetization. Google makes money through ads, and especially ads that get you to click through to somewhere else. Th

At this point I've lost track of the number of people who extrapolated from contemporary challenges in AI to predict future shortcomings turning out incredibly wrong within just a few years. It's like there seems to be some sort o

Omnicom is a much bigger deal than those two clients. It's the second largest advertising holding company in the world. That's the biggest deal of all the names quoted by a LARGE degree. They have 5,000 different clients.

There's a literal arms race behind the scenes in AI right now. I think it's very unlikely that corporate IP claims that could substantially hold back progress in domestic AI development will end up being successful.

Ah yes, because the best way to get groups to not spout misleading rhetoric is to unabashedly bias the publications in the other direction. Giving validity to the claim that a particular perspective is being actively suppressed historically

Pre-biasing results isn't science, it's propaganda. I'm all about getting behind the idea that how we extrapolate and apply scientific discoveries and progress should be mindful of basic human rights and decency for all. But

There's a hardware component here too though. I think hybrid photonic AI chips handling some of the workload are supposed to hit in 2025 at the latest, and some of the research on gains is very promising. So we may see timelines contin
