Why does the patient need to be restrained when they're anaesthetised?

Fair. He actually had the more radical idea that "Western" democracy owes a lot to pre-Columbus America.

David Graeber argued that 21st century democracy is not directly based on any ancient model, including any Greek one. You'll notice how the Greeks didn't have any permanent civil service*. You'll notice how they kept slaves.

The problem with what you're saying is: There's a lot of data on the Internet, but it's still finite. If you divide a finite number - however big - by infinity, you still get zero. To get something like GPT, you need to gener

I'm wondering what an alternative model would look like, not oriented towards C.

GPT-4: If 2 bebs are equal to 1 bib, and we know that 1 beb equals 2 bobs, we can determine how many bobs there are per bib using simple substitution. 1 bib = 2 bebs 1 beb = 2 bobs Therefore, 1 bib = 2 bebs ×

Why is it absurd? If it writes readable code, you can check it. Writing the first version often takes a long time, so this is clearly a breakthrough.

Why do you think this is impossible? Have you tried making an account on chat.openai.com? Because it can in fact do that right now; and even people who are otherwise skeptical of LLMs have panned Chomsky's article.

There's the "it" which has no post-processing, and there's the "it" where the output is post-processed to announce a resignation when it attempts an illegal move. Some things about the two "it"s: - Th

Why did you decide to do your comparison against that totally arbitrary point in time? Basically, anyone can play the game you're playing. Objectively, from its All Time High, BTC is down 70% - and has moved in lockstep with other over

The flaw in your pseudo-mathematical argument has been pointed out to you repeatedly (maybe twice by me?). I should give up.

by ogogmad 4y ago
This doesn't change the fact that the pseudo-mathematical argument I was responding to was a daft one.

There might be or there mightn't be -- your argument doesn't help us figure out either way. By its source code, I mean something that can simulate your mind's activity.

You don't get it. If you fed this program the source code of your mind, body, and room you're in, then it would wrong-foot you too.

by ogogmad 4y ago
This is a silly argument. If you fed this program the source code of your own brain and could never see the answer, then it would fool you just the same.

You asked a trick question. The vast majority of people would make the same mistake. So your example arguably demonstrates that ChatGPT is close to an AGI, since it made the same mistake I did. I'm curious: When you personally read a p
