Or Geoffrey Hinton, or Ilya Sutskever, or Yoshua Bengio, oh look those are already the three most cited researchers in deep learning. François and LeCunn shouldn't be categorised together anyway, François is a reasonable person and LeC

Deleted because it was unnecessarily inflammatory.

The easiest way to reconcile it is that Yann LeCunn is consistently wrong in the predictions he makes about this field and he's wrong here too.

Some of those thought experiments were interesting, but I still landed on "That's still a conscious system" for all of them. I expected you to go much further with the permutations.

That's much more oriented to network security, spectrum and hardware, stuff like that. For an American military organisation engaged in internet influence operations you'd want to look at the signature reduction program. Something

Just want you to know that your comments have been seen, appreciated, and belly laughed at even if a lot of other people apparently struggle with the concept of "fired".

No problems, it's the theory that makes by far the most sense to me.

Three paragraphs later, in TFA. >To that end, Khan Academy will give Microsoft access to its math-related data, including math problems with step-by-step solutions. Data from Khan Academy users will not be part of the training data, the

An abacus and a calculator are the same.

by lucubratory 2y ago
They are not using user data for training. It wouldn't be very useful data anyway, as it's all explicitly from people who are learning and highly structured/not freeform due to the input constraints.

I agree.

>A LLM is not busy humming away, thinking on it's own. I know. Their thought happens at inference time and only at inference time. I don't view that as a serious challenge to their mental capacity because 1) it's not clear

Yeah. I know someone who uses cannabis without much issue (for pain management, every day, partaking for years with no significant issues), but I also know someone who had been smoking cannabis for a few months and had one instance trigger

This is extremely fascinating. The sort of thoughts and sensations without consciousness she describes experiencing before language gave her consciousness - maybe this is the spark that LLMs do not have and humans do. It would be astounding

The "State of Palestine" (the official name in this context) is a signatory to the ICC, and is the location of the committed crimes. I guess you could technically make an argument that despite Sderot et al being an occupation unde

It's obviously dystopian to be in love with something that doesn't care about you at all. That is not, at all, what Her depicted. Sam clearly felt for Arthur deeply. Breaking up because their life paths were incompatible doesn&#x2

"Devastated" isn't the word I'd use, and a breakup does not a dystopia make.

Have you read "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky? Because if not, you absolutely should.

But sensory deprivation chambers are both known to make people unconscious, don't completely remove all sensation, and still induce hallucinations reliably. The conscious entity has to be conscious of something, and if there's not

Can you provide those examples?

Well, I guess the argument would be that a billionaire financing the construction of space habitats could make them effectively company towns, but of a highly educated workforce. Once enough of them are there they'll have their own eco

Who said anything about profit? This is legacy building, a reason to have gotten all that money and power.

"A likely candidate for an orbital is waht's called an O'Neil Cylinder: 3-4 miles in diameter, 10-20 miles long, producing Earthlike gravity on the interior by spinning. Smaller than this and it needs to spin too fast. Larger

The technology for a Dyson sphere is primarily the technology for suspension bridges, solar farms, and intensive hydroponics (all well understood) + the technology for the ISS (well understood at this point). The only missing piece there is

I'm no climate scientist, but at first blush the idea that warming from CO2 concentration levels off to insignificance at some level appreciably close to where we are doesn't pass the smell test, because of Venus. If CO2 concentra
