There is a case for the two populations to be quite similar. THC in the blood doesn’t mean actively high for habitual users, which would be most users if THC consumption is high. It means recent use, but not clear impairment.

They taught a summer class at Stanford where the capstone was putting your 3D model into Ut4 as a new character. Classroom of networked commuters with all kinds of popular games on them…it was hard to get work done some times.

OP is free to chose their metrics. I wouldn’t trade education for a home personally. I think it’s interesting how they chose their metrics.

I’m totally sure you’d apply the same for unchecked corporate law breaking, right? Enforce the Hatch Act, go after wage theft which dwarfs any kind of retail or private theft, etc. If you think it’s about political power, you’d question pri

This all just boils down to the Chinese Room thought experiment, where Im pretty sure the consensus is nothing in the experiment (not the person inside, the whole emergent room, etc) understands Chinese like us. Another example by Searle is

And I never took biology past sophomore year and yet I knew the first time I listened to Aubrey De Grey he was wrong to propose millennians (living to be 1,000+) had already been born (as of 2005).

Anyone have links for these: > Yann LeCun was first, fully coming around to his own, very similar critique of LLMs by end of 2022. > The Nobel Laureate and Google DeepMind CEO Sir Demis Hssabis sees it now, too.

Or when . Driving during peak commute hours really makes you a sardine in a box and it's harder for there to be intervene-worthy events just by nature of dense traffic.

That's the magic answer. It's a/the hard problem, but permeable to inquiry. The top neuroscience research into consciousness however doesn't seem like this kind of inquiry Dennett is referencing.

I like the more specific versions of those terms: the feeling of a toothache and the taste of mint. There's no need to grasp anything, they're feelings. There's no feeling when a metal bar is bent by a press. Why they focus o

Yep. The big companies set the real qualifications when they hire. Schools are just preparing them for that, pretending otherwise with made up standards/exams is a misstep—the big companies prize connections.

Repeating the sufficient training data mantra even when there’s doctor-patient confidentiality and it’s not like X-rays which are much more amenable to training off than therapy notes, which are often handwritten or incomplete. Pretty bold

This is scary because there have already been AI engineers saying and thinking LLMs are sentient, so what’s unreasonable could be a mass false-belief, fueled by hype. And if you ask a non-expert, they often think AI is vastly better than it

It shows models need RL for any new domain/level of expertise, which is contrary to what the marketers claim about LLMs and potential for AGI.

There's no evidence this model works like that. The "axioms" for counting the number of r's in a word are magnitudes simpler than classical physic's, and yet it took a few years to get that right. It's always b
