They are conscious because even for short periods of time they do form memories and those change them even if only briefly. They think on their own too. It is a very limited level of consciousness though.

The discussion here is amazing! Takes me right back to the early days of Linux and discovering Free Software. How will developers eat?? Who would write software for free?? These people clearly didn't think this through!! Amazing to

When I was in college more than 20 years ago there was a class where we designed our own transistors (with a lot of help from the course material), assembled those into logic gates and registers, assembled those into adders, multipliers, me

I was playing with gemeni-cli a couple months ago and I asked it to edit some files in a directory it didn't have permission to. It didn't say anything about the permissions, it just used sed to make the edits. The only reason I

What I'm hearing from you is you want someone else to do the work of providing shelter for you without you being required to compensate them. Am I right? If not then maybe you need to do a better job of explaining. Nothing in this u

I imagine our primitive ancestors in the canopy having near death experiences every day just to get food and shelter. When was the last time you had a near death experience? Could things be better than they are right now? Probably. But y

How different is that from, struggle to build a shelter out of rocks or nasty weather comes and kills you? There are no good things in this universe without some struggle and pain. Sure, maybe in the current decade it's not as easy a

It tried to get you touch a live wire, then you called it honest and thanked the safety team. It really comes off as sarcastic.

by krupan 5mo ago
I agree. In connection with LLMs we also shouldn't use the words intelligent, smart, reasoning, thinking, chat, conversation, etc.

I honestly cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or not
256.
by krupan 5mo ago
This in incredibly refreshing take, thank you. It's about time someone admitted that we aren't on the verge of Singularity with these LLMs. We've probably hit a local AI maxima here and it could be another 10 to 20 years be

"The comma is slightly safe..." Lol! Good acknowledgement of the safety situation there. I suppose you might remember what the command and flags mean once you see them, but if not then you are blindly trusting the that the LLM i

Are you saying that the software you wrote using those tools generated enough revenue to cover the $2000?

by krupan 5mo ago
But when previously your software developer tools were free, that's a huge increase

Heresy! ;) I would guess you hadn't done as much emacs yak shaving as some of us other emacs users if the switch to VSCode was a simple one

In case you don't understand the problem here, an emacs instance can be split into multiple "windows" and there are emacs key bindings to create and destroy these windows, move the "focus" from one window to another

by krupan 5mo ago
The problem some of us have is we get used to jumping between emacs windows/buffers using C-x o and C-x b and then without thinking about it try and use the same keys to jump between i3 windows and of course it doesn't work. Or v
