If your SaaS can be killed by a single customer leaving, then you don't have a SaaS; you have a boss for whom you are developing bespoke software.

I don't think it's worth celebrating an emergency door being blown off a plane that already killed 300+ people years prior. This is not how the system should work.

In a typical employment scenario, your line manager can cut off 100% of your revenue. In an ideal SaaS scenario, your customer can cut off a tiny percentage of your revenue.

The difference is that some bosses are more easy to say no to than others.

If LLMS are not on the path to general intelligence, what is then?

And when AI does the same thing, some people argue that it's proof for its lack of intelligence.

That matter from the other universes seem to pretty well line up with galaxies in our own universe which makes this theory a bit sus. I'd expect at least some of them to be scattered at random places, whose gravitational lensing effect

Sometimes I wonder how future generations will judge our meat industry practices once they figure out artificial meat production and also have a more accurate picture of consciousness/sentience and hence the suffering we cause. It'

I'm still not clear on the second question. If lalaithion's original statement "the Q and K matrices aren't structurally distinct" is true, then once the neural network is trained, how can we look at the two matrice

I'm not suggesting that they have any. I was reacting to srslack above making _technical_ claims why LLMs can't be "generalized and adaptable intelligence" which is not shared by said technical experts.

2 reasons: 1. He's too busy building the next generation of tech that HN commenters will be arguing about in a couple months' time. 2. I think Sam Altman (who is addressing the committee) and Ilya are pretty much on the same page

srslack above was making technical claims why LLMs can't be "generalized and adaptable intelligence". To make such statements, it surely helps if you are a technical expert at building LLMs.

Both of these statements can be true: 1. ChatGPT knows the algorithm for adding two numbers of arbitrary magnitude. 2. It often fails to use the algorithm in point 1 and hallucinates the result. Knowing something doesn't mean it will g

I just don't get how the average HN commenter thinks (and gets upvoted) that they know better than e.g. Ilya Sutskever who actually, you know, built the system. I keep reading this "it just predicts words, duh" rhetoric on HN

Previous approaches like LSTM struggled learning long-term dependencies. The transformer improved on this greatly.

I think you're talking about ASI (artificial superintelligence). AGI just means that it's a general problem solver as opposed to a narrow AI. It doesn't have to be superhuman.

I'm waiting for the moment when an LLM will prove a new math theorem or something and people will go: "Well, you know, it's not really that impressive considering it used X and Y previous results produced by humans. The mod

Has this actually been tried? It would be trivial to generate a very large dataset of simple additions and see if an LLM gets it. Maybe it wouldn't serve an immediate practical purpose but I'm curious.

Maybe another way to think of it is that the error correction part of image generation models is offloaded to the human visual cortex which is a very old evolutionary construct and thus had time to become very resilient? In case of text gen

Part of the issue is that taking AI alignment seriously does require some level of intellectual humility — a quality that the HN comment section famously lacks.
