I have no problem with using the word intelligence to describe human-made systems, since the attribute artificial preserves the essential distinction. These systems inhabit the second-order world of human-created symbols and representat

Not parent, but I would say their experience, even though severely impaired in many areas, is still infinitely more embodied than any human artifact is or even conceivably could be. Simply because the millions of years of embodied evolution

I had no idea you've never heard of it. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Provided that the author of the message you're replying to is indeed a member of the Animalia kingdom, they are all those creatures together (at the minimum), so yes, they have seen real light directly. Of course, computers can be fitt

I guess even stags in rut "understand" this. But there are levels of understanding. Read something like The Origins and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann and you might agree it reaches a deeper level.

I prefer your terminology. That being said, domain modelling (what the article describes) comes first, hence is more foundational and important than data modelling.

Social media won't die, but it can be replaced with something that is better in every way, but especially better at actually enriching our lives, rather than better at gluing us to screens and feeding us ads. It rests on us to create

I don't understand the downvotes - parent's right. All regimes today like to trumpet themselves as (exceedingly!!) democratic, the question is: are they? In my estimation, overall, communist countries have done significantly worse

I think the claim would be that an LLM would only ever pass a strict subset of the questions testing a particular understanding. As we gather more and more text to feed these models, finding those questions will necessarily require more an

It's definitely bucket-like for me, and I can attest meditation empties it. Whenever I stop meditating, mental busyness and subconscious anxiety slowly build up. Half hour a day is enough to keep it away. I just keep bringing my att

Colons separating key and value pairs enhance readability in my book, so KDL goes too far for me. Other options are JSON5 ( https://json5.org/ ) and CUE ( https://cuelang.org/docs/introduction/ ). T

I like it a lot: a superset of JSON, fixing the most annoying warts of the format - most annoying, because most gratuitous, in that it would have cost nothing to have those obvious features and yet would have greatly increased usability. It

Exactly. It's not about skeuomorphism, it's about saving space. Yes, it's unintuitive, and they could have made it work with a circular swipe as well, and probably should have, but it makes sense design-wise.

A counter provides more information but takes longer to read and appreciate than a simple angular magnitude.

Did you read TFA? It gives concrete advice on how to change the training and eval of these models in order to decrease the error rate. Sure, these being stochastic models, the rate will never reach zero, but given that they are useful tod

What you describe is called the grounding problem. But it's only a problem for those who vainly hope that these models will somehow miraculously evolve into autonomous, sentient beings. But that's not the only way this technolog

It's not shipping infinite times, the number of views (and hence, cost to stream) are proportional to the fees withheld. Whether 45% is too much, I can't say, don't think it can be determined apriori. It kinda does make sens

There's been a lot of talk on European tariffs on US software services. We are in the middle of a tariff war, in case you didn't notice. Hardly a strawman...

Strange to assume an open free market and no tariffs in today's political climate.

It's non-ideal, true, but still very valuable. Given the possible potential of GenAI, having a locally-developed model is of strategic importance, no question about it. There are efforts for building independent cloud infrastructure as

I've encountered papers demonstrating such attacks in the past. GPT-5 dug up a slew of references: https://chatgpt.com/share/68c0037f-f2c8-8013-bf21-feeabcdba5...

They would definitely waste less of it, and probably consume less as well.

On a second reading, your interpretation might be the right one, it's not super-clear.

It's worse because it hands repressive authorities a much more powerful tool of mind control than what they had before. More powerful because targeted, hard to detect and even harder to prove.

In my understanding of the article it says they did get a court order: "Elon Musk didn’t say anything about the situation and X didn’t defend freedom of speech. They only said there was a court order and they couldn’t do anything.

Just because it's not that hard to reach a high-level understanding of the transformer pipeline doesn't mean we understand how these systems function, or that there can be no form of world model that they are developing. Recently

If you're going to use shoes as the metaphor, a model would be more like a shoe factory . A shoe would be a LLM answer, i.e. inference. In which case it totally makes sense to consider each factory as an autonomous economic unit, lik
