I know I saw Geoffrey Hinton say humans operate with much less training data in a talk. It doesn't strike me as a claim that should be controversial. As far as I know nobody can train A.I. to push a shopping cart based on a human chil

Your wiktionary link indicates it is not a common expression in English but instead something "rationalist community" people say.

What's laughable is an OpenAI employee invented the term "PHD level intelligence" and you think that " PHD Level intelligence" is a real term that describes a real thing and you are repeating it here.

Is it possible that a lot of people are hoping for a dot-com bubble 2.0 so they can sell at the market peak before it pops? That would explain why they're ignoring fundamentals. They could think that OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs will driv

For what it's worth my Coinbase account, which I've never used for anything but sign up bonuses, seems to be linked to Google Pay but not a bank account. I just checked and I can still log in.

If you didn't call GPT 3.5 AGI I do not believe you when you claim you would have called 5.5 AGI.

Hobbits are between two and four feet tall. I think the "little people" in the article are more fairy sized or smaller. The BBC article linked to at that article says they were seen on dishes.

I wouldn't expect an AI to know exactly what happens in every chapter of a book. Knowing the plot of Neuromancer isn't the same as being able to recite a chapter by chapter summary. I tried this Neuromancer query a few times and r

I'm curious: did you give Gemini the entire text of Neuromancer or did you expect it to use search results for chapters 1 to 14? I would have just fed it the text of chapters 1 to 14 from a non drm copy.

The first Cyberpunk book, Neuromancer, has a plot which revolves around A.I recruiting human agents to forward its plans...

I've found Gemini works better for search when used through a Perplexity subscription. (Though these things can quickly change).

I played around with it and its better than it used to be but if you ask it something like "Whats the name of the third book in the peripheral trilogy going to be" it just regurgitates some dumb reddit comment by someone who seems

I'm not the person you replied to but I'm wondering which Google AI product you are referring to that you use for search which is so excellent that you need someone to find for you an example of it failing? I think Google has seve

By that logic a Markov chain is better on average just for the fact that it was trained on a large corpus of human knowledge, including psychology, therapy and study material.

You are exaggerating, right? They didn't really fire the entire Arc team did they? I couldn't find a source saying that.

42 wasn't a low quality answer. The joke revolves around the incongruity of "42" being precisely correct.

Adding web search doesn't necessarily lead to better information at any context. In my experience the model will assume the web results are the answer even if the search engine returns irrelevant garbage. For example you ask it a quest

There is no right to vote in the constitution as written and interpreted in the 1700s. There is also no guarantee of freedom of speech. The first amendment was considered a rule that only applied federally. What's democratically illegi

What doesn't make any sense is proposing the constitution be interpreted as it was when there was no general right to vote or general right to political speech... then claiming this is the "voters decide" option.

Pretty sure you don't go through an x-ray conveyor belt when you exit a plane. I think something was lost in the telling. I could see a kiosk worker saying this or similar.
