I had a look at the YouTube video -- I feel that an obvious question with regards to the "common sense" tests is, what was chat GPT-4 trained on? Was it partly trained on reams of questions used to test AI systems for example? How

I suppose that is my feeling too -- is there historical precedence for something like this in other languages anyone can reference?

I've invested in a fair bit of time in learning Rust fairly recently -- asking naively, but is this sort of thing something which could realistically compromise the future of the language?

Thank you — very useful reference and an apt observation RE OS communities. Although a cursory look at the page seems to show considerable individual involvement in making it work.

I’d add to that the sub question of whether anyone has seen — and under what circumstances — “self organising” teams work/fail. I’ve only seen self organising teams in a flat structure fail, on count that if everyone is responsible for

presumably if you ask it to write you some code to decode base64 it will. presumably if you ask it to execute that same code for a input example you provide, it will. Et viola.

I've made the point before that I don't even use a spell checker so there is a deep sense in which I agree with this, but it is tempered by the recognition that I'm hardly the sharpest tool in the box and I get great purchase

In the UK -- to my understanding -- the "lifetime" of a standard contract is 5 years unless it is a deed. If it is the contract that binds parties then I would deduce that no "lifetime" can exceed the life-time of the co

Unfortunately the case -- you just have to be honest and say "no it can't do that" when it can't. The "impedance mismatch" between managers/stakeholders and contributors is an ever renewing source of BS fo

I think the focus of the article is the introduction of Prolog as a general tool for data science. The examples are just incidental.

The likes of Popper for ILP are quite incredible in their own right although I would highlight to other readers that the article is about making reasoning explicit using Prolog as opposed to machine learning.

The first example —- with the linear regression —- is a toy problem which sets up the second example. I.e. the method works for both. You could solve the toy problem in much simpler ways in isolation but it wouldn’t help explain the second

I'm struggling to understand how possibly inventing your own language -- one not even compatible with the Haskell eco-system -- was ever a good idea in production.

I follow but that looks like a weak (presumptive) inductive argument to me. Could it be that Hinton is convinced by an argument like that? I would have expected something more technically specific.

This sort of reminds me of Bloomberg articles wherein every time there is some "black swan" event, they go and find an analyst or economist that "got it right" and he gets to be prophet for a day: never mind that said an

Could anyone frame -- in fairly plain words -- what would be the mechanism by which LLMs become generally "smarter than humans" in the "and humans can't control them" sense? Has there been some advance in self-learn

I'm not sure that calculation is correct, but say it is, perhaps a Variable Length Markov Chain then.

I think that part of the reasons conclusions about emergence are tenable is due to the opaque nature of transformer architectures. For example if it was possible to train a Hidden Markov Model with billions of hidden states on a trillion to
