That's like saying a calculator isn't useful just because you're good at mental math. The ability to adapt and extract value from new tools is a mark of competence.

The weights aren't the neurons, they're the connection strengths between the neurons.

I think for practical purposes you could hold that text from wikipedia or scientific papers if true, for example. The issue I think OP is referring to is if a LLM can refer back to these axiomatically true sources to ground and justify its

“It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine — a gun — which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and conseque

The notion that software devs will be replaced reminds me of the inventor of the Gatling gun, who thought that he was saving lives because now fewer soldiers would be needed to fight wars. Didn't quite turn out that way did it?

Specifically in AI there is huge room for improvement with things like optical computing. AI processing doesn't need to be completely deterministic, as shown by the fact that we are quantizing llama down to 4 bit without too much of a

Lockdowns or not, nobody could've avoided getting covid in the long term. It's just too contagious. The only way out is letting it run through the population and mutate. Flattening the curve might alleviate strain on the medical s

Right. It's not like we would theorize the existence of biological life on earth from first principles if we didn't know about it beforehand. It's such a magical, complex thing. We have no idea what other kinds of incomprehen

I think we're gonna want to explore the cosmos though. I could imagine doing that via sensors that travel while we sit here, but you could just say that's an extension of our artificial body.

Yeah, we don't know the first thing about consciousness really. But I imagine with enough time we will be able to build an artificial neuron that's smaller. And induct from there.

I think the fact that we will start to augment our bodies is a safe assumption. It's just too useful, and you will need to do it to compete. How will one get by without their AR retinal implants, brain chip and exoskeleton? Sure, it&#x

The flaw in our approach to the Fermi paradox is that we are looking for intelligent life which resembles us as we are now. Big, corporal bodies made of proteins communicating with big, inefficient, slow frequency vibrations. But this is ju
