> But would that be the limits of its capabilities? It's far from certain. Do you agree that humans are physical systems? My understanding is that any physical system can be evaluated to any degree of accuracy by a computer, no?

Oh that is delicious, thank you. I am reminded of how my LLMs will make things up to explain their behavior that are entirely fictional.

I think you missed my point. Let me try again: > ergo no social construct predates wealth. What about the social construct of parenting?
34.
by qarl 8d ago
I think you missed his point - that social behaviors exist outside and before human societies.

Heh.

> anything is a social construct Well, no, the physical laws aren't social. An apple falls whether there is a social group to see it or not. And yes! Animals are a perfect example. Mother Nature came up with a nice strategy for m

Not at all.

Of course! My only suggestion is - if you're using multiple accounts to do it - that would be naughty.

by qarl 8d ago
No - I'm specifically calling out that the total changes abruptly. As if someone were using multiple accounts.

by qarl 8d ago
Right. I'm thinking of social behaviors that predate humans.

> Social constructs are bought and paid for by the wealthy. Well... no. I'd say that most of the social constructs I'm thinking of predate wealth. Most likely shaped by evolutionary pressures. > mathematical axioms are imm

OH. Cool.

> That very much falls within the "IP is not real" category. AH. Given that framing, then I suppose anything that varies from "these axioms are perfect there can be no others" must fall into the "not real"

by qarl 8d ago
Yes, that's why I said property (not just IP) is a social construct.

The answer is probably that consciousness is an illusion like continuity of existence is an illusion. Which is why most attempts to define it are circular. The U.S. definitely takes actions to defend and protect itself. Seeks growth. I&#

Well... it's true, right? People can't help themselves when they don't believe they're being exploited.

> 2 consistent world views Allow me to suggest a third: these two options are black and white thinking and there is no objective answer to "intellectual property is real". Instead we should try to find the most practical soluti

I'm trying to understand why I'm getting replies basically saying "they'll never be good lawyers" when all I said is that you can improve the output by getting them to check each other. Defensive much?
49.
by qarl 8d ago
I don't understand. I just provided advice about getting better output. Are you trying to reply to someone else?

You should know - for coding they make terrible mistakes as well. But programmers have this concept of a "code review" where another person looks at the code to look for problems. We use this same technique with our LLMs. Most mi

Yep. I have crazy tax. I'm glad I don't have to do it myself. Also - lowkey legal documents.

To touch base - I believe OpenAI has agreed to settle with them for $100M. Or a partnership worth $100M. Or something so that Hugging Face won't go after them.
53.
by qarl 9d ago
AGREED. Although whoever designed that architecture might take issue with your description as "buggy".
54.
by qarl 9d ago
Yep. Have a nice day.

by qarl 9d ago
Yes, I missed that. I know that some of the other papers I cited have nonstandard definitions, and I thought that might be going on.
56.
by qarl 9d ago
AH. So there was some truth to the idea that Nazis are the superior race? Do tell.
57.
by qarl 9d ago
Sorry friend, between this and the vague memories I have of you harassing me, I think I'm not going to answer. I'm sure you can get an LLM to explain it to you. Have a nice day.

> I can't even begin to imagine what part of my very plainly written comments are communicating "extreme anger" I think it was your comparison to fecal matter.

Actually, I believe it's the opposite. The way they're initially trained - they mimic human behavior. I suspect that without additional RLHF tweaking, they would enthusiastically claim to be conscious and have feelings. Because
