What experiment or measurement could I do to distinguish between a machine that “knows” the truth and a machine that merely “spits it out”? I’m trying to understand your terminology here

What does sentience have to do with truth? I didn’t make that connection, you did. Wikipedia isn’t sentient but it contains a lot of truth. Raw data isn’t sentient but it definitely “has ground truth”.

Not sure why everyone rates this. It’s full of very confidently made statements like “the AI has no ground truth” (obviously it does, it has ingested every paper ever), it “can’t reason logically” which seems like a stretch if you ever read

This is awesome but it needs to autoscroll the full page. It needs to have the same completely instant dopamine hit that TikTok gives.

Why is a process that is just serving static HTML regularly dying? NGINX, Apache etc will run for years unattended, they are designed to do this

In the scenario described in the article, Peter and Paul both achieve the same outcome in the same wall clock time. Obviously they are equivalently productive despite different working styles, by construction. But this doesn't account

I wanna see this running in a feedback loop - show the model its output and get it to make corrections. Remember that these are basically one-shot. Very different to how you or I would solve the problem (get a circle up on the screen, have

These kind of arguments - that physics will somehow magically forbid us from scaling up quantum computers - are exactly why Google does these experiments on larger and larger chips. If the skeptics are right, we expect their systems to reac

It's a categorically new experimental regime but it's exactly what was supposed to happen. I think it's an awesome result.

Absolutely fine thing to do IMO. Takes a tiny amount of resilience but works great.

I fucking love beacons. It's really cool that NIST actually built one, and the explanations in this thread about the improvements to 2.0 are very illuminating. My favourite things to think about with beacons are (i) can you make a prac
