I wonder how this compares to LLVM. That project had building a directly interpretable bytecode and a virtual machine as an initial goal.

Disapppointing summary from someone whose imagination should allow them to see more. Generative text models might spit out "garbage", but this "garbage" has been more interesting than the garbage we have seen before in h

This falls squarely into stepping out of the developer role and taking on the role of a manager though. It's really not about the people who don't want to think about those things.

I'm not sure I see the point here. You improve the process because you're subject to it, and because the current process has some downsides to you. If you're trying to improve a process just for the recognition, then you'

A member function must have at least one parameter. Here it's "parameter0": parameter0.membfun() It doesn't really matter whether the parameter name is separated from the function name by a dot, or a bracket. In a differ

The "pretty much" does all the work here though. It's not pure if you can modify the state of a global, the file system, the environment, the standard output, etc., and this is half of the reason why purity is desired.

The authors assume the idea for launching an argument, but OP assumes the opposite idea. There's no point to contrasting each other because they are both unproved. At least the web page gaves some reasons why you should entertain the i

Then you reject the idea that's stated front-and-center as the starting point of their reasoning without giving it any thought. At least they listed a good reason why it might be correct. That's hardly something that can be discus

You didn't list any reasons why humans aren't algorithms, so I can't see it as anything other than rejecting that view a priori. You reasoning completely breaks down if we accept that we've already given rights to algori

It's a self-referential loop. Humans have difficulty understanding intelligence that does not resemble themselves, so the thing closest to human will get called AI. It's the same difficulty as with animals being more likely recogn

I only agree inasfar as the Christian religion goes. There's nothing fundamentally preventing religions from claiming that humans aren't the only ones (scientology anyone?). There's nothing fundamentally requiring non-religio

Humans alone? Maybe not today. Humans and those organisms joining forces? I don't see how that would make the danger lesser than the random walk of those organisms unaided.

We're talking about possible technology. The possible might be imagined, but not all imaginary is possible. The problem is, we don't know which is possible and which is not.

What does it change when you add another model? I don't see how this lets us extract extra information. What distinguishes two conjoined models from one model with a narrowing across the middle? If the idea is to have two similar minds

It's hard to look at behaviour separately from language if the only behaviour available is to generate text. As long as we don't have a test agnostic of medium, this will have to do. In the end, we can't overcome the limitati
