"AI" == "what (through tech) can replace a professional" It may seem similarly vague, but it does in fact open interesting, productive, and necessary questions. A "computer" was a professional crunching numbers

The world is "sane" when the lucid are treated as beacons and the fools are treated as the unfortunate that must stay away from the engines. Insane when the fools are empowered and the bright have to flee for shelter.

I can't check everything right now, but for example, the divulgational from Rakesh Kumar mentiones "Analogue CIM". And I do not get your rant about "analog computing", which has everything to do with NNs (otherwise,

What do you mean? You do realize that "those" people have little to nothing to do with proper people, right? Of course people are deficient by the billions.

Did we not play with MNIST and placed some calculated bet on NNs well before Yann LeCun started the fire with the explosive success of the Convolutional NNs? I'd say it pretty consistently starts in the underground. The real revolution

I'd say the original remark was more general («this approach (baking LLMs/weights into silicon directly) [... as if] worked on in secret») - which is salient, because when I investigated weeks ago, I found a large number of attemp

You are focusing on Taalas, but (specific) analogue computing, electronic NNs, compute-in-memory etc. - the field including the contextual approach - backdate to Rosenblatt.

Actually, I find the idea of using Cerebras etc. for /training/ (not just inference) surprising: I did not stumble in much data and discussion about "super-CPUs" in that area, where NVidia (with the tools focused on it)

Although, custom HW has to be the focus right now - simply because we are dealing with a technology (big NNs) that are not the best match with Von Neumann architectures.

There is no memory storage of weights in the Taalas cards but translation of the weight multiplier into a circuit.

Of course tampering with chunks or nodes in the NNs is a way to study the "spawned" (through gradient descent etc.) configuration and "reverse-engineer the black box" to get "AI transparency". Anthropic publish
