   As a sensory scientist it's really frustrating to watch computer scientists appropriate our terminology and use it incorrectly.

   I think you missed the point that data needs to be collected and presented ethically. It's not about it being a work in progress and not peer reviewed.

   "2. I haven't seen a single use case of blockchain in the world yet. This is a valid critic and I do understand." Hmmm, it doesn't exactly sound like you are "absolutely baffled". You acknowledge that there are

   Considering that men are taking credit for their work, maybe some over-correction is understandable.

   If you find something, post it. Otherwise this sounds like sour grapes that women coined the term.

    Oh sure, yeah, the distinction between text and speech is trivial, which is why text to speech and speech to text are indistinguishable algorithims ;)

    Unless the model is hooked up to a text-to-speech module it doesn't speak any English at all. Signed, A frustrated auditory scientist.

    I dislike how LLMs are causing lay people to recapitulate the debates about private language that have been had in the philosophy of language community. At first I was so excited that people were talking about one of my favorite topics (fin

    Point out the lie when you see a lie, but this sort of blanket statement is inappropriate and reflects your own biases.

    This is the Mormon immune response to exposure to information that causes cognitive dissonance: slander the people who left the church because the fact that they left the church means they are ignorant.

    3. Mormons are overwhelmingly white and come from a cultural background of conservative patriarchal Christian whiteness which comports with the historical and present culture of the FBI.

    Thanks for spotlighting this. It is encouraging to see people seriously engage with the writing and surface the nuanced words of the researchers themselves.

    So long as it is 75 dB SPL or softer in intensity, you should be fine. You may want to consider acclimating your baby to be able to tolerate sleeping without the machine or with the machine at a softer volume. This can help set better sleep

    I can't believe you are serious. It is pretty clear what the context is here and I didn't mince my words. You are policing MY behavior and you should stop telling people how to be anti-ableist.

    I argue against the notion that a large language model has an "internal understanding". It has parameter weights. For some philosophy on the matter, here is some Wittgenstein as quoted in https://doi.org/10.1016&#x

    I am not making a comment about the usefulness of LLMs to manipulate text. If anything, my view is that to the extent that LLMs are seen as intelligent it's precisely because they manipulate text in ways humans find useful, not because

    Then let's say the point of disagreement between me and the author is that I would prefer to abandon the analogy for something that lets me both reason and communicate more clearly, while the author appears to prefer to keep the analog

    The algorithm is defined. It has to be for us to use it. The question is what patterns in the training input are being exploited by the algorithm to generate text modeled after the input.
