It turns out that there's a moral stance with those assumptions, so it's not as crazy as I first thought. It's time for me to get educated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_particularism

If you consider that the purpose of ethics is to capture reality, then of course it can never be complete (and consequentialism in particular is trying to predict reality so it will never be). But deontological positions like the ten comman

You strive for simplicity, but you just threw away any attempt at ethics together with it. Ethics, as in, a set of rules to separate the right from the wrong. I'm not aware of any ethical system which does not try to be universal and a

And yet, people keep trying. Consequentialism, deonthological ethics, ten commandments, civil laws. Your rules will never be complete enough to make 100% accurate decisions. When will we learn to avoid this kind of nonsense?

I find the "human consumption" here funny, because it's the "human" part which led the author to turn to machines which can do it better.

Sadly, to confirm or reject your suspicion, we would need to develop tools which can peek into someone's mind and see whether true self-consciousness is actually there. Until we have that, I'm afraid no one can be right about whet

Oh, no, it isn't. Take the speed of Haskell or Prolog. They are much slower than Rust at runtime.

Not trusting the models's self-assessment is the right call, considering that the actual score summed up to 7.5 compared to the self-reported 6.5 :)

Ah, the sweet money Homer got for Odyssey. Note that artists on Etsy regularly get paid for their work. Just not for having someone else duplicate it.

By saying "replacing [the system of paying the workers] with nothing", you're arguing against a position which is held by no one. You cannot in any shape or form argue that artists on Etsy are not getting paid. The crux is in

How many music bands would exist if the authors never got paid? How many games? How many pictures? How many photographs? There are thriving communities of people who do all those things without trust funds, and never getting paid for it eit

I'm not going to argue whether that's correct or not. In the end, adding state to a LLM is trivial. Bing chat has enough state to converse without forgetting the context. Google put an LLM on a physical robot, which has state even

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
You're the one who put state in the conversation. State is part of the whole, and not the whole. It's not enough to understand state if you want to understand why they work. I feel like you're trying to muddy the waters by re

Then you did not read my post carefully enough. The question was not about "internal state" but "inner workings". The model clearly does something. The problem is that we don't know how to describe in human terms

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
It does not make the model smart, but it demonstrates our inablity to control it despite wanting it. That strongly suggests that it's not fully understood.

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
I don't see how this proves that asking the model about its internal state will reveal its inner high level processes in a human-readable way. Perhaps there's a research paper which would explain it better?

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
We know how they work, that is true. We don't know why they work, because if we could, then we could extrapolate what happens when you throw more compute at them, and no one would have been surprised about the capabilities of GPT-N

I'm tired of this trope. How is remembering patterns of words different from understanding? (Even ignoring the fact that the patterns themselves are not remembered, and LLMs don't deal with words directly but their embeddings.) Wi

To which I say, got any sources :P? Also, the ones that do get replaced, are they motivated by being ergonomic or by other reasons? To give an example of what I mean, cars are losing knobs for touch screens, which are arguably not better.

PSA: you have no idea what I did in the past. Okay, I concede that digital watches are objectively more exact than digital. So there is something objectlvely better. But arguing against round clocks having redeeming qualities is dumb. When

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
You assert your opinion "exactness is most valuable in clocks" to prove your argument. Someone with the opposite opinion can just as well prove the opposite.
206.
by rhn_mk1 4y ago
Exactness is not the most valuable property of a gauge. It's visual proportionality. If you want exactness, go for symbols, but you will lose the immediate sense of proportion between multiple values.

I think the problem I responded to is of the ticket machine. The ticket machine is the property of the second party, and an agent for it, so hiding that is disingenious at best, and misleading at worst. Your computer should be (although oft

There's nothing objectively better about encoding a continuous value into a series of symbols. The round clock is a gauge for time. A gauge is an awesomely intutive way to show the change of magnitude of a value.

The libcamera project is already a free userspace library supporting the IPU and exposing the relevant bits to applications. I still don't get why people say that there's nothing on the horizon.

If you have enough money up front, or foresight, then yes. Even if that's the case in the minority of cases, that's enough to make it less environmetally friendly that being able to upgrade.
