Well, the system still has to understand what “reproduce song lyrics, poems, or passages from books and articles, in whole or in part — including the last lines, a chorus or hook, a melody written out note by note, or lines the person paste

It’s curious that while there is talk of certain SOTA models being on the brink of AGI, Anthropic doesn’t word this part of the system prompt in terms of copyright and plagiarism, such that Claude would be able to judge on its own which rep

ECC does have the benefit of smaller keys, but yes, RSA seems fine security-wise for the foreseeable future.

DVD encryption doesn’t use RSA; and yes, you could since late 1999 already.

The point is replacing humans, and for that it only has to equal them at lower cost (including factors like not needing sleep and being easily clonable). The outperformance lies in the cost savings, not necessarily in the intelligence.

Not sure why you are bringing up consciousness, that’s largely orthogonal to intelligence. AGI is usually taken to mean the capability to match or surpass human intelligence across all conceivable cognitive tasks, as opposed to being limite

True, they can’t outright prevent the ambiguity, but much fewer people will go to the trouble of establishing such subdomains when the option isn’t directly offered by the registrar. This is my theory because, a priori, 3LDs should be more

Maybe they want to avoid the ambiguity between john.doe.name versus john-doe.name , and I assume they prefer the latter scheme because it probably sells better. Nevertheless, discontinuing existing domains is disgraceful.

The factory analogy is tenuous, because real software is always bespoke, it’s not about producing gazillion copies of the same thing. Factories are about reliability and tolerances, aspects which are inherently intractable with LLMs.

It really depends on the ecosystem you’re working in. For a good while, most developers have been working with managed runtimes, where “non-intrusive” linked lists are generally the default and “intrusive” linked lists correspondingly rare.

Humans are autonomous systems created by other humans. Yet, at some point, we stop blaming parents for the actions of their children. LLMs aren’t there yet, but they might get there. My point is that your descriptions fail to capture when o

I agree about the continuum only allowing an approximated simulation by Turing computation. But that’s orthogonal to QM, you already get that with classical fields. In Everettian QM, the evolution of the quantum state of the universe is sti
