That's not what I got from the parent. Besides, everyone is dressing up one way or another depending on the situation. The problem is putting all your identity into it. And conversely also imposing on others that some characteristics y

Generative AI has potential and there are fun experimentations, but nothing game changing for the vast majority of businesses at the moment. People always overestimate short term change a new technology bring. Sure long term as with the int

China doesn’t want a showdown, it’s not Russia/Iran/NK/Pakistan/…, why must Americans think that if they are not #1 it’s the end of civilization? China only really care about itself (and Taiwan, but that’s a very special

You can have very complex calculations and a simple output. The complexity of the process to find the weights is not necessarily the same complexity than the process using them. The numbers don't get suddenly special because of how the

But which audience? It seems like with social media nowadays only the absolute numbers count. Influencers are very happy to have an army of dumb followers. I guess it’s easier to well influence them.

Does that definition hold when a significant part of the debt is owned by foreign entities?

I have a similar story. I made major lifestyle change. But the thing is, I have got back to eating carbs and retained all the benefits (i.e. clear headless and energy all day long). Bear in mind by carbs I mean whole grain. But still, I won

I don't think the rules have changed in spirit (especially in 5e) but the mindset has. Basic D&D was very ridig if you followed the rules (like a video game, with codified turns, see "Sequence of play" in B/X https:

In the current economy who cares if the company is destroyed? Shareholders with insider knowledge will already have reduced their exposure. See what PE firms are doing, only thing that matters is ROI. I don’t see how it will change until we

I should have added the distinction: they are not end-user software companies, embedded is another world.

Vehicle manufacturers are not (edit: end-user/OS) software companies, it doesn't make sense (or for any company for which it's not the core business) to build their own OS. Yes OS builders control the OS by definition. What&#

What are large and powerful corporations under the hood? It's only an abstraction to facilitate business, but the reality is just a few people making decisions. Don't make the mistake of giving a physical existence to companies.

The argument that sentience can't derive from computation alone because computations can be slowed down and done by hand still hold for me. The piece of paper written on or the silicon doesn't acquire different properties because

You were talking about the number of parameters on existing models. Like the history of Deep Learning has shown, simply throwing more computing power at an existing approach will plateau and not result in a fundamental breakthrough. Maybe w

You are missing the point that it can be a model limit. LLMs were a breakthrough but that doesn’t mean they are a good model for some other problems, no matter the number of parameters. Language contains more than we thought, as GPT has imp

I’m not assuming ill-intent, I’m talking about the idea. Stating something is wrong or illegal seems essential to the discussion. It’s like if someone said “I should rob a bank”, I sure hope saying it’s illegal will be taken into account in

by tarsinge 3y ago
Considering an idea is about taking everything into account. The part where it’s illegal or morally reprehensible is essential to the discussion. Also if not communicated like here it can be understood as an opinion.

Why follow Altman? Most smart people are more driven by the mission than a personality cult.

We still don’t know if the one plotting was Altman. There is still room for this to be seen as a bold and courageous action.
