How low will it go in this cycle by your estimates? In my estimate not much lower than that. Baring any catastrophic event, like a pandemic.

We are in the middle of every 4 year hole at the moment. Heights and lows are unpredictable but the timing is still solid.

I think consciousness could be a side effect of our limitations. The fact that we can pay attention to at most 2% of our visual field and need to move it constantly around to provide more training data and prompts to "smart" path

Consciousness is one of those silly words that were disfigured to death by philosophers that had near zero actual input and tools to tackle the matter, yet they tried anyways instead of finding some questions that might actually be answerab

What if somebody simulated all neurons of a bird and fed them appropriate stimuli? Would a bird neural replica be conscious? It would flap, that's for sure.

"Is it conscious?" Is that even a question worth asking? We are so terrible at even defining each word in that sentence. Can I help you? Can I harm you? What's the moral behavior towards you? Those are more practical question

I'm curious what would be your take on the productions of this year's models.

> On the other hand, I do _not_ think that this study provides any indication that an LLM is prepared to actually provide direct legal counsel I think it indicates that LLMs are smart enough to be used in the context of law education.

LLMs answered student questions of the top of their heads, without any refresher look into the case law. And systems that were primied with the case law like NotebookLM underperformed when compared to baseline LLMs that you'd as anythi

The end game of this is just a human capable of taking the blame when AI makes an occasional mistake and being paid for that service and risk.

In DeepSWE anything from Antropic is a whole class lower than what's achievable with gpt-5.5 So by using Opus you are using "smaller" model. Well, not really smaller, just worse. The actual smaller models can at least be fast

That's because AI went from something they needed to internally promote to something you'd have to pry from cold dead hands of the trailblazers.

Nothing to share really. It was just a bit of background exposition. I didn't have any cool ideas about how to use the concepts from it in anything interesting. I'm not a writer. I'm just a SciFi fan that gets very brief, ran

This could be a strong signal that it's actually intelligence since it's all equivalent.

Token is not a clump of letters. It's a multidimensional initial input vector that gets tweaked and transformed. GPT doesn't think in tokens. It just accepts them as input (although it happily accepts any other vectors in-between

It could be a diffusion model with a latent model of what needs to be said that will generate whole message or coversation (progressively) at once. Although I love how next token prediction leads to text showing up gradually, in case of loc

Few years ago, I tried to extrapolate where it will end up by writing SciFi short story. I decided on Pseudo as the name for future AI entities. Short for pseudo consciousness. I hope it catches on. In my prediction however they are semi-au

I understand AI detectors are important when filtering huge amount of texts. But if there's a single winning story to evaluate, shouldn't human jurors assessment be the gold standard? And if they assess it's human written but
